OK, so... I picked St. Augustine's because it felt warm and inviting, and not like some of those creepy big old churches, right? Well, I found out it's the church from The Sixth Sense, so there goes the "not creepy" part. I sent in my deposit anyway, because I like the church so much. I still don't have a priest to marry us, but I am being optomistic. I wish these guys would call me back. So... that's good! Something done!
So far I have the DJ selected (meeting with them on June 28th), the videographer selected (those kids from college), I have two leads on florists, several quotes from Bus companies for a shuttle to and from the aquarium for the drunks... I really need to book my photographer next. The photographer is causing me a ton of anxiety. Every photographer's portofolio is filled with outdoor shots, and I'm not impressed. It's EASY to make two smiling 20/30 somethings look good in natural light. I need someone that can make people look good in terrible lighting, and I've been unimpressed with what I have found so far for my budget of <$4K. ACK! The photos are so important!
On a good note, I downloaded GIMP and I was able to make a few goofy save the dates for friends, which I plan to print onto magnets with vistaprint ASAP. I want to use the engagement photos for the family ones, but I need to pick the photographer first. I definitely want engagement photos, it's my one chance to get a feel for the photographer. ACK!!

our dude goes to NY, and even w/ travel expenses is probably way less than the NY-based folks... just sayin'! also, look on weddingbee and look on older posts. a lot of those women were married in NY metro area, and all review their photographers.
Thanks dude, I never look at weddingbee, I'll check it out.
