The paper for our invitations arrived. We signed the contract with our photographer. Yesterday I took my dress to be altered and one of my bridesmaids started the ordering of their dresses. Right now I’m wearing my wedding shoes to break them in a bit. 
All in all I think things are coming along nicely (until I start thinking about the things I haven’t done yet – like find an officiant). There may still be a ton of planning to do but I’m feeling like I have a (loose) handle on it right now.

Sunday morning my sister, fiancee and I got up early for a 9am cake tasting. After getting our sugar levels up we joined some friends for blini before taking on the rest of our wedding-centric day.
Two bridesmaids and a mother-of-the-groom later we were knee-deep in Wedding. We started with showing the ladies our ceremony and reception sites. Then we took off for the dresses while Jordan returned some rejected invitations. Having previously narrowed down the selection to nine dresses it didn’t take long for the girls to try them all on. Jordan’s mom offered her opinion on the dresses and while the girls changed we talked veils and flower girl dresses. In the end, we decided that as long as the last bridesmaid liked it we had our dress, so the ladies were measured and we met up with Jordan for dinner. After dinner we looked at shoes and tiaras.
While we didn’t decide on much and didn’t purchase anything I think that overall we made some good progress.
