12 month countdown

This is what our wedding planner by David Toussaint says we need to knock off 12 months before the ceremony:

1. Purchase wedding planner. Check. (Thanks Steve!)
2. Determine budget. Check.
3. Think about style of wedding, including size, place and attendants. Check.
4. Set the date. Duh, check.
5. Mail save-the-date cards if you're having a long-distance wedding or are marrying over a holiday weekend. We are saving this until October, after we meet with our potential wedding planner dude out at the potential wedding site in Provincetown. But everybody already has an idea of when the nuptials are taking place, so I think we're okay.
6. Book ceremony and reception sites. Waiting until October, but we've checked and they are available.
7. Make a wish list of wedding must-haves. Call now if you've got your heart set on that fabulous florist or cool rock band. Hmm. I don't think I have any wedding must-haves. So, check!
8. Join a gym. I am going to continue running outside until it gets cold and then I'm joining a gym, perhaps with Kelley so we can sweat together. Our summer of training got sidetracked by her surgery.

My add-ons:

9. Try on dress again to make sure it fits.
10. Think about what food I can eat at the wedding that won't make me look fat in my dress.
