My fiance and I have been engaged for 15 days and it is complete bliss!!

As for my list of things to do:
Find a reception hall:
Done, picked one out that is perfect for us and the size of our wedding. We are going to look at it once more on Friday and then we are paying the deposit.
Finalize a date:
We changed our date to April 21st due to it being off season and much cheaper, but also the weather where we hope to honeymoon is also suppose to be much nicer!!
Find a Church:
Pending. I have 3 possible options and have called one who is sending me information on the wedding requirements, but there is concern with the pastor retiring. I called and left a message at the 2nd one and hope to hear back form them soon, and will be in contact with the third one next week.
Find a hairstylist/makeup artist:
Luckily my best friend is the most amazing hair stylist and makeup artist ever and told me she would love to do my hair and makeup for free.
Find a Photographer:
Another friend of mine has her own photography business and shoots amazing photos!! I have asked her to do my wedding and she stated she would for FREE!!! So excited. She will be taking my engagement photos around December 20th & I will post them for everyone to see.
Find a dress:
AHHH found it!! I went to two dress shops, and found the dress of my dreams!! I am going to go once more to the shop to try it on again, walk around, sit in it twirl and do everything to make sure its the one before I actually buy it but it is beautiful!!!
Find a DJ:
My fiance and I decided to go with a DJ because its a bit cheaper but also because our reception venue can accomodate a DJ much better than a band!! I am in the process of looking for possible DJ's but have been in contact with one who I seem to like.
Pick a color scheme:
I have always wanted a sort of black and white wedding because I think it is just beautiful, but I also wanted to incorporate a splash of color. So my bridesmaids will be wearing black but our flowers, my shoes, my nails, and some other decorations will be dark pink!!
Picking invitations:
My friends mom is amazing at stamping and making invitations and thing like that, so I believe I will be requesting her services to have her help create our invitations.
Picking a cake:
Luckily our reception venue includes the cake but we still have to pick the flavor and the look to it. I have multiple ideas in mind and pictures but have to figure out what I like the best!!
First Dance & Father-Daughter Dance:
Still Pending
Find a florist/ flowers:
Still pending.
Pick decorations:
Still pending.
Order wedding gifts:
Still pending.
Picking the honeymoon:
We have potential honeymoon ideas, but nothing finalized.
Wedding Workouts:
So I have started working out again, which I have not been doing as much since I ran my 1/2 marathon, but yes I have started running again to get in shape and have been calling them my wedding workouts!!!
Engagement Party:
We have picked out our engagement party date which will be January 8th & I have sent out the DIY invitations!!
We are just have a small dinner party for our closest friends who will be in the wedding!!
I am super excited and got a beautiful dress from ModCloth that I can not wait to wear.
So I think that's it as of right now!!
Only 1 year 4 months and 4 weeks from today!!
xoxo
