Been There, Done That Series

The Been There, Done That Series will be a series of posts about things that we've already done for the wedding. Seeing as how I started this blog nearly 8 months into our 20 month engagement we have done a LOT!!! I'll be leaving the east coast for three months, being the planner I am, I really wanted to get a majority of things done before I left. Each of these posts will start with "BTDT" "Been There, Done That." These are the successes (and failures!) of wedding planning over a year in advance. Some of the posts will include.
