My man and I met at a summer camp and have been inseperable ever since. He proposed in August of 06 and we are to be married in August of 08. I'm attempting to do this on a low budget in the most laid back way possible, but only time will tell how it really ends up.

Where have I been hiding?

Posted Wednesday, February 20, 2008 8:13 PM

No I didn't fall off the face of the earth... but I can't say I've gotten any farther in my wedding planning either...

I'm working on taking it slow... even if it's against every bone in my body.  In fact, I am working on re-framing the whole wedding in my mind.  At this point it's become a giant mess of uncertianty that seems unsurmountable, what I want it to be is a nice, relaxing day spent celebrating with my family and friends.  I can do this.  I can do this.

My fiancé is still, uh, let's say he's too busy to give much input, (yet feels the desire to give input, thus nothing is moving forward).

The wedding rings are still up in the air.  We went in to the jewler the weekend after we purchased them (here's the link to the ring story if you missed it) and the guy we talked with then hadn't heard the story, promised to look into us and call us by Wednesday... um yeah, that was supposed to be Wednesday February 6th... today is Wednesday February 20th and still no call from them... now it's my turn to contact them... maybe a "friendly" e-mail will do.

I have two questions for which I seek answers for, if you have one or have some input that'd be awesome.  1st, I mailed the caterer my check (like a month and half ago) and they haven't called me yet to set up the menus.  Is it my job to contact them, or are they crappy caterers?  and 2nd, how many places do you plan to/have you registered at?  I was thinking 2 sounded good but then saw a friend registered at 6 places!  I would like to regsiter at more than 2, but don't want to seem greedy or anything.  How many do you feel is normal?  (on the regsitering note, my finacé said he wants to regsiter at Williams and Sonoma, which is only like my favorite place in the world with no prompting from me.)

Number 1: If you have a contract with the caterers then I'd say contact them to set up a meeting. If there is not contract yet, contact them to let them know that you will not be using their services and cancel your check!

Numer 2: I think that 2-3 places is sufficient. It's enough to work with people of all price ranges.

Good luck!!

I don't know when your date is, but most caterers put that off until very much near your date.  If you prefer to get it done now, call them.  They're your vendor, you should feel okay calling them any time you want.

Six kinda sounds greedy to me.  Unless there's something I don't know, like a guest list of 500 or something.  I'd say 2 general stores that sell a lot of everything, and maybe one specialty store, like Home Dept or a camping store or something.
