Time to Buckle Down!

It is now 3 months until our wedding day! I have been in Myrtle Beach since Sunday and returned last night realizing that the Big Day is just around the corner....time to buckle down! We have a few things left on our list to "tidy up". Like calling the caterer to let her know the menu we decided on. Choosing our songlist for the DJ (if you have a special request....let us know!) We are going in to East TN on July 14th for Lewis and his guys to get fitted for the tuxedos and pick out their ties. Jade and Jasmine's dresses will be on the "to-do" list for that weekend as well.

All of the big stuff is done..... what we're mostly busy with now is just paying everything off at this point. Lewis and I agreed from the start that we will not go into debt for the wedding. We have heard Dave Ramsey enough and had our own experiences on top of that to know that paying for things up-front is the way to go. We both realize that we do not want to be faced with a large bill when we get back from our honeymoon. So it is our goal to have the wedding and honeymoon paid off when we walk down the aisle. Luckily we are managing that pretty well at this point. There are bigger things we want to focus on after the wedding, like buying a new home.

So 3 months away and we are buckling down! We're going to get those small details done and we're going to tighten the budget-belt. I guess that means I'll have to skip that pedicure appointment and Lewis will drive through McDonalds a few less times in the next 90 days. But that also means we won't be in debt at the end of it all!
