I haven't been keeping up with my blog. I spend a lot of time on the Central FL board, those girls are great! Wedding planning has been going well. We are very close to signing our contract with the Wyndham. We are meeting with Melissa today to go over the contract and from there, hopefully we get some things fixed or clarified. I'm guessing we'll be making a deposit in the next week or so. FI wanted me to look into other places and I did but I LOVE the Wyndham. I did look into restaurants bc I thought it might be cheaper... but no it was more expensive. FI said it's my day so if I love the Wyndham, that's what we're doing. And he did like it.

Nikki was on vaca last week but she' back and got in contact with me. We talked about whether to do formal pics before or after the ceremony. I am soo torn. I am somewhat traditional and would like to do it after, but at the same time, I think doing it before could be really special. Nikki said if we do before shots, she would make sure it's only us there and would make it really special. FI and I will have to discuss this.

Yesterday I went to Solutions Bridal in Winter Park. So out of my budget but I thought it'd be fun to try on dresses just to get an idea of what I'd like. So I went alone and spent an hour there trying on 4 different dresses. I really like the Mermaid cut, so I'd like to go with that or something sexy that shows off my sexy body. I know Fernando likes mermaid cut and anything else very form-fitting.

I spoke with Claudia and Karina about dress shopping. Claudia has the Saturday of her bday weekend off, and I wasn't gonna mess with that date but she brought it up, so I'm happy she'll be able to join me for all the dress shopping. I haven't heard back from Karina yet, but she's off on the weekends so it shouldn't be a problem.

I also met with a wedding consultant yesterday (Tabitha from Ultimate Image Weddings). She was really nice and helpful. We talked about some ideas I have and she is going to email me a list of vendors. I told her which officiant I wanted to go with (Rev Knox) and she highly recommended him. She says he is sweet, very easy to get along with, and handsome (she mentioned the handsome part about 5 times lol).

Today I am meeting with Theresa, another wedding coordinator. We are meeting with her then off to see Melissa at the Wyndham, so here's to a productive day!
