Sent an email to future mother in law this eve, and started realizing many things to do.

- make music list (ongoing project, as I'm adding songs as I think of them to spreadsheet)
- find officiant
- get off of fence and decide on florist
- get off of fence and decide if I want additional linens
- do i want a sign in frame table? sign in tables are so 1986...
- get together some pics for heather to put together for display (on sign in table?)
- plan honeymoon
- take engagement pics
- send in applications & pics for maryville, knoxville, and/or chattanooga newspapers (not nashville, bec it costs $175 - insane!)
- decide on groom's dessert table decorations & what to display/serve (had some help on this - pretty much think i'm straight here)
- programs? have cards, but what to put on them?
- get dress hemmed
- get new shoes (before dress hemmed)
- figure out how want hair
- buy any hair ornaments required
- send out thank you notes for most recent presents
- give final count to caterer (SEND IN YOUR RSVP'S!!!!)
- discuss menu with caterer
- figure out who's sitting where at dinner
- give TN RP the diagram of how we want things set up
- ben to take care of wine & beer
- ben to take care of bartender
- get marriage license
- get some sort of musician for ceremony music? Where? UTC? Flamenco guitar to go with site? If not, what kind of music? And where do we put them on the balcony?
- Decide if want Terry's fam to video
- get items for welcome bags
- decide on favors - must get off of fence here, too
- invite recent new friends that we've become close to?
- many, many more things but i'm too tired to think of them *and* ben is wanting me to drive him to sonic for tator tots - but this discussion has been ongoing for the past 20 mins, so who knows if it will come to fruition...

But really, what does it all matter? I think this is why I keep putting things off (besides that whole work thing getting in the way): at the end of the day - whether we have favors or not - whether there's a flamenco guitarist playing - whether it's video'ed - whether it's announced in the newsaper - proper wedding dress or j.crew halter - we will be married.

I enjoy the details, but I've been enjoying my evenings at Livewell more now that we no longer have school. I'll knock some things off the list next week. :-)
