Mr. V and I are making progress. Flew up to DC a few weeks ago for work and visited my MOH while there. She got me a bridal book (who knew you needed a book?!) and since then I have been inspired to actually progress in my planning.
Mr. V is going to join me in WLS world and have gastric bypass surgery in May (my issues aside – and I’m an odd duck, really – he does need it and it’s a good thing). Today, while he still can, we’re going to go taste cake. I will probably be laying on the floor shaking after a bite or two but he’s excited to check out the flavors and Pumpkinhead can’t wait! I’ve reminded Mr. V that my intention is to go with whatever the country club offers and call it a day because neither of us will be able to eat more than the traditional bite and because I’d rather spend money on the actual food. Good meat? Yep. Great cake. Nah…
I do need to finalize bridesmaid dresses. A, if you are reading, let’s just make time and go pick ‘em. You can set the trend, girl. 
My bridesmaids are wearing floor-length black dresses. My MOH is wearing a claret/wine color, but she hasn’t bought the dress yet. My MOH gave me the greatest gift of a “something borrowed” in the form of a gorgeous necklace that was her mothers. Her mother passed away from breast cancer when I was pregnant with Pumpkinhead and was the most amazing woman. Both of us cried when she lent me the necklace. I can’t wait to see it with the dress!
Also need to get shoes but I have read that if I wait until June, dressy shoes will be on clearance as part of post-prom overstock. 
Hey, I’ll wait a while for a deal!
Now we just have to work on flowers and a DJ. Our food tasting is set up for June at the Country Club to set a menu for the wedding.
