Wedding Wednesday: Checklist Part III

Happy Hump Day Blog World! I haven't done a wedding update since this post in February. Between my wedding and three of my besties getting married all in the next upcoming three months things are crazy around here but a good crazy. I get to see all my friends more than I have in years and celebrate this special time with them. That doesn't mean that from time to time I don't feel like my head is doing a slight exorcist spin. Here is what we have accomplished so far and I do feel like even when I get one thing checked off five more replace it.
