Countdown continues...
9 months until the big day...
On Saturday I got to my 9 months countdown...

Well, I've been planning my day a long time now, but still behind, I'm trying to not worry that much and go with the flow.

By the time I have my shoes, centerpiece, caterer and baker. Still missing my dress, final touches, venue (undecided), photographer and som other "major things".

We are in the lower budget existed in earth and by the time not getting so much help (I hope Lord changes this :)), My FI still do not have a job, so you may know how things are going, at least we have been supportive to each other and continuing having faith in LORD that this day will come and we will get married

IB for Ceremony II
Well almost the same than Ceremony I!

1) The chairs arrange semi-circular if possible.
2) The inside chair lines to have a lace with my W color.
3) Have a ribbon from chair to chair (in this case I'll be avoiding #2)
4) As the second place has a gazebo I will need to just decorate it a bit as the 6th pic.
5)Bubbles!

If my time and budget allows me:
***Reserved signs (almost a MUST)
Ceremony favors
Sand ceremony

IB for Ceremony I
It is not that Im having multiple ceremonies is just that I have not decided yet where to have the ceremony, as before I was having it a the beach and the reception to follow. Now Im thinking about making it on the grass area at the new club I'm considering.

Well if it gets to be there I want:

1) The chairs arrange semi-circular if possible.
2) The inside chair lines to have a lace with my W color. The table linens I want the with no bow.
3) Have a ribbon from chair to chair (in this case I'll be avoiding #2)
4) And of course a Huppah (Im not Jewish tho).***Ask my WP if she can get me the little gazebo.
5)Bubbles!

Well despite the fact I still do not have my dress! I've gotten my wedding shoes!!!

I'm so happy! I got them @ shoemetro.com. I got them yesterday. I bougth the white pair first to see how they worked and as they are awsome and fit perfectly Im buying the aqua color ones!!!

Im thinking abt adding them a brooch to make the look more vintage-y.

I highly recommend the shoes and the vendor!!!!

Has anyone gotten the shoes first and then the gown?

10 months now...
Oh well Im really exited yet worried...
My FI has not gotten a job yet...he has gone to some interviews, so we are waiting God's willing here...

I feel behind, even though I have defined everything I want/need...
I do not have my dress, but I have ordered my shoes. Today I woke up feeling that 10 months from now I'll marry my best friend!

Oh well, let's see how it goes, before I was a low budget bride....now I could be called the lowest budget bride ever!

I might go NYC on November to see if I can actually find my gown...
Besides DIY projects do you know a way to cut cost in a wedding?
