details... details...

This whole wedding thing takes a lot of work! Tammy has been laboring extra-laboriously (that's a lot of work!) taking care of details. She's bought at least a half-dozen wedding magazines and has been all over the internet. She's got timelines, deadlines and bottom-lines that we are trying to stick to.

The biggest news is that she finally picked out her dress. She'd been all over the midwest in search of the perfect dress. Every time she got close to picking one out she'd have second-thoughts. She went to Cincinnati a week ago with determination -- And she was victorious! She loves it and everyone who has seen it agrees that it is the perfect dress for her. It's hanging in my closet but I am forbidden to even gaze upon the bag within which it is contained.

We also met with the jeweler yesterday to discuss our wedding bands. He's going to work on a custom piece that will match and fit snuggly with Tammy's engagement ring. We looked at a myriad of options for my ring, but we'll make a decision on that after the first of the year.

Other details completed... location decided. Preacher confirmed. Photographer locked. Guest list built. DJ booked.

There's much more to do, of course. The good news is that we haven't had any major fights over the details. But, then again, we haven't registered for gifts yet. That should be a thrill.

More later....
