On top of that, we have received our official paper orders to Hawaii AND have been pre-approved for a VA loan! We have been in contact with a realtor on Oahu and have also been busy reviewing the listings that she sends us each day. Craziness!

I'd like to think that I'm sticking to the schedule pretty well. Shaun still has to pick out suits for himself and the groomsmen. Hopefully we'll get that done soon.
Other than that, invitations are out, my dress is almost done at the seamstress and I'm really looking forward to my hair & makeup trial and bridal shoot next Monday!
I think the next big thing is going to be buying our wedding bands. We know which ones we want, it's just a matter of going out and getting them.
Hope you all are doing well! More wedding updates soon!

Wow. You're crushing the wedding planning. And I think moving to Hawaii is a great honeymoon :)
Your wedding seemed quite well planned. And here I am, three days away from getting married with no clue about anything except my gown, food and the venue at event space Atlanta. I was involved in the major decisions now and then but spend most of my time shopping and taking pictures, it was fun too.
