So, I signed up for the knot awhile ago and plugged in our date - 5/9/09 - and now they e-mail me and tell me how many months I have to go and what I should have planned/be planning. The good news is that they all pretty much tell me the same thing this early on - save money, start thinking about a location.
Here is what I have done so far:
1.) Picked a location for the reception and put it on hold.
2.) Picked a style of dress.
3.) Picked colors: A "sea" green/blue, white, gold.
4.) Picked attendants.
5.) Started reading about all the Catholic stuff, and Matt is in stage two of his anullment.
6.) Started saving (need to give Matt another check this weekend - don't forget Kate)
7.) Checked into prices for photogs and videographers
8.) Started going back to the gym, although I've been sorta' spotty.
9.) Delegated the honeymoon to Matt, so I that is going to be taken care of.
10.) Picked a place for the rehersal dinner.... hope it's still there by the time we get married!
So that's not that bad! I'm pretty excited. The thing that stresses me out the most is the church. I work everyday and I don't know when I can actually GO. That's not a very good excuse. If I am not a member of a church, registered and in good standing, it's going to be hard to get through pre-cana. The ceremony is the most important part!
Any ideas? I don't know if work is going to let me take hour long lunch breaks all the time, but I was thinking of going to noon masses during the week. Maybe I should go and ask a priest for a suggestion? I should go to confession sometime too. It's been ages.

maybe you and M can go on Sat. nights at 5? those 'count' as Sunday obligations. But you probably already knew that, doh.
just checkin- you booked your reception venue/set your date before you confirmed with the church? Or is the church holding that date for you already and you just need to go thru pre-cana to fulfill the reqs?
We're trying to get in touch with a church to set a date, but seriously- i want to start booking other stuff already, like reception hall, photographer, etc. i'm impatient!
I put it on hold, but yeah, I can't book it until the church stuff is set. So annoying to have to wait!
