What else...

Music: Working on a list as we speak...up to 35 songs (if anyone has any suggestions...)

Photographer: Meggo Kunz :) + MILLIONS of disposable cameras for the guests

Videographer: *AHHHHHH moment of wedding planning* I have friends who do very goood, very reasonably priced wedding videography. They did my best friends wedding and I just assumed they could do mine...unfortunately they may have another wedding that day. MAY. We will see. It was the one thing I thought I wouldn't have to decide... *sigh*

Honeymoon: Mexico most likely. No definite plans though. We want a beach honeymoon where we can do an assortment of water activites and hike and bike and shop and swim etc. :)

I think that is everything that has been decided! And I think we are ahead of the curve...
