Well, one of us hit the wall.

Remember my post yesterday? About hitting the wall, not really wanting to plan anymore for a while, done, all that jazz? Turns out it was just me. John came over last night with a wedding to-do list. Which, come to think of it, was pretty awesome.

We sat down and started working out our day-of timeline. It's still pretty bare-bones, since we don't have time confirmations on the florist or baker or anything, but we were able to figure out when we needed to be doing what, and when the photographers and videographer needed to be in place. It's also only up to the beginning of the reception, but not the point. We also started working out transportation issues, figuring out how everyone was getting to and from the church, and when I'd be getting my brother back for family photos (he's a groomsman). I think that's going to need to be tweaked a little since the way we have it only really allows 15 minutes for family pictures on my side. I wrote out the timeline at the bottom of this post.

We also decided on some of our music for our reception. We'd gone back and forth for a long time on what we wanted our first dance to be, and we finally made a decision: "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge! It really said what we wanted to say in our first dance: "Come what may/come what may/I will love you/until my dying day." We also decided to have "Thank you" by Dido as our last dance.

Have you worked out your day of timeline? How about music?
