Buy veil
Find headpiece
Decide on jewelry
Make programs
Finalize decision on flowers
Get bridal party/parents gifts
Decide on favors and placecards
Send out invitations
Go to my shower
Attend Korean engagement ceremony
Finalize menu
Pick readings
Finish pre-marital stuff
Decide on hair/makeup

So, basically, what DON'T I have left to do?

Re: july brides what do you have to left to do for your wedding

Okay, here's my list:

Select wedding bands
Add some items to registry
Buy my shoes
Select hairpiece
Bridal party/groomsmen gifts
Seating Charts
Buy stuff for favors and make them
Design programs
Select an additional reading for wedding
Meet with Milleridge and finalize our plans/menu selections
Finalize music selections (including choosing our son)
Give the photographer our "Must take"photo list

It sounds like a lot, but it's actually not that bad when you think about it. Most of these tasks won't take that long to do.
