Day 18: Update

I was feeling really overwhelmed with the entire wedding planning process up front, and perhaps I am still a little stressed, but we have accomplished so much in the first couple of weeks!

• Set a date: September 26, 2009
  
• Booked a church: St. Roch
• Have an officiant that we are SUPER excited about: Father Wilmoth. He's so kind-hearted, and hey, if he is good enough for Sarah Fisher, he's good enough for us!
• Booked a reception site: the Edelweiss at the German-American Klub. We couldn't be happier with our selection - the management is very accommodating, and we just tasted the food tonight. It is delicious, but the real kicker is that there will be lots of great German beer a flowin'!
  
• Booked an awesome photographer - Invention Pictures.
• Just about to book our DJ - The Simple DJ. The best part? They aren't cheesy and we get to put together our own playlists. Which means that there will be NO Electric Slide, but we will be doing a commemorative Chicken Dance!
  

Now we just need a dress, a tux, invitations, a honeymoon, rings, etc, etc, etc! It will all come together eventually, and we are excited for every moment of it!
