Calling November Brides
I decided to start a thread for us since I don't think we have one 
So what do you November brides still have to do within the next few months?
This is what I have left:
FH has to get his w-ring
Buy shoes, garter, undergarments, etc
Meet with the officiant
Go to hair trial & book makeup trial
Decide if I want a headpiece/veil
Plan the reception music w/DJ
Send my invites to the calligrapher
And last but not least…. Book our honeymoon!

Re: Calling November Brides
I think we should all keep each other in the loop on all of our accomplishments. Hopefully by Monday I will have a few more things crossed off the list!

I really felt like banging my head against the wall last night =
I got into an argument with my mom and I said to her "maybe I should have eloped" and she said "yea, maybe you should have".
Whoever said "you find out who your "friends" really are while planning a wedding" - is a genius! My sisters and MOH's are USELESS! and the nerve of me to confront them about it.

I have to order menus, table cards and place cards and then things that I can't do until August or September such as decide on music with the DJ, and my fittings oh and I need undergarments! But I think that's it...I hope!
