    To Do:

           * Make reservations with a restaurant for meal     
             following wedding ceremony. Negotiate menus       
                 and prices with my parents.
           * Register for South Carolina marriage licence.
           * Contact bakeries and arrange for a small wedding
             cake, and the style I want.
           * Search my Bible for a scripture I want read during
              the ceremony about love.
           * Put together CD with songs for the ceremony.        
           * Purchase undergarments for under my dress
           * Get CD's ready with road trip mixes for Chuck and I's
             drive halfway across the country. We could get an
             I-pod, but we are broke.
           * Have my engagement band and wedding band
             soddered together.
           * Chuck and I need to open a checking account
             together, to make life easier on both of us.
           * Purchase sophisticated looking Thank-yous at a
             decent     price.
           * Have a girls craft day with Joni and Coralie, and see
            if they want to help me with some of the gift favors that
             need a little crafty assembly. Also maybe a girls day 
             to Chicago or Minneapolis instead of a traditional
             bachelorette party.
           * A little more planning of honeymoon.

     

    I'm sure I'm missing details. But I feel really relaxed. Everything is smooth and I am running well ahead of schedule. Plus I don't have to worry about things like DJ's, dance floors, napkins, table centers, etc, etc.

    Life's a Beach!... Why not get married on one?... :)
