Wedding Planning... It's so much fun!!!

Do you sense the sarcasm because it's totally there. I feel like I'm more creative than most people so I always thought I would be natural at wedding planning. Not!!!!!!! I'm so not organized. I blame it on the artist in me. I truly believe you would have to really love weddings to make a career out of planning them. I just don't think it's for me. Nonetheless, I'm still on this wild ride until March 21st. That's right people only 5 months and 20 days until I'm Mrs. Hughes. I can't believe it. Well here are the things I've done thus far and what I plan to accomplish this month. Any advise from you married women out there would be much appreciated.
