Check, check, and check.

1. Bought the dress. (And, accordingly, freaked out afterwards... but I'm sure it'll be fine. It doesn't arrive until mid-March, so I'll have a long time to settle into the idea of it!)

2. Ordered Save The Dates (known in the wedding society as STDs). (They're going to be magnets -- I wonder if I should buy a stamp (or have one made) for the envelopes to warn the post office and people that magnets are going to be enclosed. Hmmn. (And, in a slightly soothing but consistent way, I freaked out immediately after we purchased those also. But again, it'll be fine. Those don't arrive until the end of November.)

3. We also took advantage of a recent "free photobook" offer from Snapfish and put together a rather nice album of our relationship thus far, from meeting to engagement. We plan to display it at the reception. Reg and I spent a lot of time on it this weekend... we even walked around to take pictures of the bar where we met and the bar where we had our first date. I'm glad we did; it added a lot to the book. That won't arrive until mid-December. (No freaking out on that one.)

4. We're also talking to caterers -- we have a very definite idea of what we want for the wedding for cocktail hours and so forth. And photographers. And we still need to find a videographer and a florist. Lots and lots and LOTS of decisions still to be made. Egads. (And we still have to order official invitations also.) Again: egads.
