WOW! You all seem very on the ball. Since it is only my FI and I going I keep telling myself that I have less to worry about.

 

What we have done: booked location and purchased flights (ROR 05/17-23/09 - wedding 05/20); dress and FI outfit purchased; AHR location and caterer booked and deposits paid; passports in our hands.

 

What we need to do: shoes, jewelry, hair, invitations, some minor AHR decisions still, and I suppose anything else that comes up.

 

Best of luck in planning to all of you!
