| sFirst...blink and take a breath. NOW, some of these things can be done "long distance'. Send an SOS to your ( and his) mom for help. His mom may jump at the chance to help-especially if she has no daughters to look forward to helping. Congrats...it will all work out for you. |

| Well the first thing that I would do is start shopping for your wedding gown. Most gowns take 4-6 months to order...If you can afford it, hire a wedding coordinator. They help to take a lot of the stress off of you. Your mom might live two hours away, but I am sure she can help by picking up the phone and calling around some places for you. You can also ask your bridesmaids to help you out with some of the details. |

| RELAX- it's your wedding!!! Things can get overwhelming- I planned my own wedding last July. Everything will be perfect as long as you have someone helping you- even just over seeing that you remember everything. The wedding itself will go by so fast and it's going to be the best day of your life!!! Set some goals- follow up a couple of months before hand! Good luck! |

| Well, I think its normal for you to feel overwhelmed because the date is sneeking up on you . . . . . . . . . the save-the-date cards should already have been sent out: usually 1 yr in advance. You can send them out NOW and they may serve their purpose, although you don't have the guest list finalized.the invitations are usually sent out 6-8 weeks in advanceand do you have music?? a DJ???Its too bad you don't have a friend in the "wedding planner" business . . . . . . . I would try to recruit some help, maybe your bridal party?? Matron of Honor????Good Luck! |

| Dont worry. It sounds like you have a good amount done so far. The next thing I woudl do is get your dress...as some take a while to order. I bought mine in July and I'm still waiting on it!Save the dates should go out soon, but those are pretty easy...of course you need to finish your guest list first(the biggest pain in the butt!)I think everything else you have some time on. I'd look into rentals and the cake soon and I guess it depends on your hairdresser/makeup and how quickly they get booked up.Don't worry though you're not as behind as you think! it will all work out great! Congrats! |

| Well I can tell you I'm also planning for June and you're WAY ahead of me. And I'm wondering now if I should be panicking LOL! I relate to you though, my mom's all the way across the country and none of my gf's are married so they don't know either. Ugh! Only person I can ask is pregnant and already has 2 small ones to look after. I don't want to burden her. So hopefully knowing that you are WAAAAY ahead of some of the other June brides out there will help you.We have a tenative date... no venue... tentative guestlist only, ummm... tentative budget... basically it's still up in the air. I'm starting to wonder if it's not better to elope! |
