2010 Brides - What have we done so far? Inspired by Raef!

Oh - I like these threads!!!

Done: Wedding Dress, Wedding Rings.

To Do: Organise new venue, H2B's suit, wedding shoes, bolero/shrug, honeymoon.

Not much!! ?

Aaah, I feel so special! (And a little bit bad that I appear to have freaked so many people out! I am just one of those people that thinks of doing something and has to do it there. Impulsive and impatient!)

It never seems like you've done much compared to others but you always feel better once it's written down. <saddo alert icon> I have a book with a page dedicated to each item for ideas / writing down when deposits paid etc just to keep a track of things and it wasn't until I did that that I realised how much I'd done and that I needed to slow down!

Am sure I'll forget something. Keep having dreams that it's the wedding day and nothing is how I want it!
