Wedding Updates

Written By Tim Rook

Heres what it looks like minus the budget, which actually is looking pretty good too. The schedule of the day is listed below, nothing is ever finalized until the day. I think however, this might help some understand the order of events. Also, we are not so particularly ridgid as to follow this schedule to the minute. For example, we will not rush through our first dance if we are behind on time. After the schedule below is a list of things we have done and are in the process of completing in case there are any questions. Sorry No Pictures, you will have to come to the partaaay if you want to get a visual. Go Comment Crazy on here regaurdless of who you are or how little your idea may be, Thanks!
