Lots of things are getting crossed off my list this week. The invites have been proofed and are being printed as we speak! Many details on that front in a few weeks when the real assembly happens. Dahlia step-mom bought a S-MOB dress on a trip to Bloomingdales. I’m going to take a look at it this weekend. Dahlia mom and Dahlia FMIL have not bought dresses, so it’s exciting to get the show on the road. All but one bridesmaid dresses have arrived. The feedback is good – the red is really pretty, but most of them need some minor alterations (or major in Dahlia MOH’s case).

Wedding bands have been purchased although Dahlia Dude’s did not fit. I take full responsibility.   I did not read the fine print to see that men’s wider bands often need to be sized up because of the width. We’re fixing that now. My eternity band (purchased on ebay) is beautiful, and does fit. The picture does not do it any justice.

Our hotel room block is almost completely booked. We did some early work to get important people in first, as our hotel has a conference that weekend. I meet with the coordinator to discuss another block this weekend.

I’ve also started my marathon training schedule. I’ve been waiting to run the NYC marathon for 4 years, and this is it. I can’t wait. Having done a few before, I know how much is still ahead of me.

Anyone else checking things off as we get closer to the fall wedding season?
