I just reread the blog where I introduced Sally. October is so far away. I want to start booking now. I want to start getting excited about a warm, sunny, tropical vacation. Why, oh why, did we pick a date so far away??
A long lost friend of mine, we'll call her CaCa to protect the innocent, just announced that she will be getting married. She and her 'to-be' have decided to go to Punta Cana in the fall to tie the knot. I'm so jealous (and kind of amazed that long lost friends can still be on the same wavelenght.)
She has the dress pick out, rings picked out, and she'll be all tanned and MARRIED this fall.
I guess I still have a lot of planning left. I mean, I don't have a dress. I have no clue what Dan wants for his ring (of course, I know what I want.) I know my colors but not who will be wearing them. Do you think I'll be able to figure out all of that stuff in 1 year and 2 months?
UGH! 1 year and 2 months.
Everyone says the time will fly. I sure hope so. 1 year and 2 months seems... so far away...

Everyone Meet Sally - now don't email her until October
Happy Tuesday!
So as you might have figured, we, again, took the easy way out. The thought of coordinating our friends and family in Georgia, Illinois, Oklahoma and Texas flying to Punta Cana on different days for different stay lengths was a bit overwhelming.
A travel agent was a MUST.
We found Sally.
I'll admit, I was skeptical. (Carly writing this one.) I had a whole list of questions and I printed them and reread them before we met with her so that they would be fresh in my mind. Well, I loved her. Dan knew I liked her... immediately. (He knows me so well!) She gave us so many ideas and really put me at ease. I was worried about asking ya'll to spend the money. I was worried about different packages that people might want. I was worried about getting everyone the best bang for their buck. She talked through all of that with us BEFORE I even asked.
So here is the deal. Sally is going to help us organize. We are going to encourage that everyone book through her (not demanding - just encouraging). She does not just use one booking agency, she will scan through several regularly to get us the best prices. Her goal is to get us the best deal, so that more people can go, so that we talk about how wonderful she is. BUT she can not start booking anything until October. So I'm going to post her information if you want to check out her website (or if you are in the Chicagoland area and are looking for an outstanding travel agent.) But again, she will not be able to book anything for a few months. (Don't worry, we'll send save the dates!)
Sally, meet our friends and family.

The Rolling Ball
So once you start, it's kind of hard to stop.
We have our place, including but not limited to food, drinks, DJ, venue; we've picked out save the dates; we have ideas for invitations; I like some colors; we've started guest lists; and today... I'm making appointments for dress shopping. (Mom is headed to town in July and the two of us are hittin' the stores.)
Shoes - check
Flowers - check
Cake - check
Photographer - check
Videographer - check
Hair - check
Mani/pedi - check
Now... about attendants...
How is it, you may ask, that I know what shoes I'm going to wear but have not asked anyone to be in said wedding? Easy, I'm not wearing shoes!
My concern is that more than a handful of friends are either prenant, trying to get pregnant, hope to have given birth by 9/3/12, already have small children or are somewhere in that bunch... Kind of hard to have someone to commit to Punta Cana when who knows if they will be able to travel.
Ah well, if you are reading this - be wary of rolling balls headed your way, you might be on my hit list.
Love,
Carly
