We have settled on pretty much everything but a photographer. We love that so much of the whole event is being done by family and friends. One of my good friends from high school, Brianne, is serving as our officiant. Another family friend who has her own catering business is making all the food. My mom handmade my wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses. Kenny's aunt, who was a florist for years, offered to make the flower arrangements. His friend and coworker is playing our ceremony music. My sister is doing my hair. The calligraphy on the invitation envelopes is a collaborative family effort. Several other friends of ours have volunteered to help out however they can, and it all makes this event feel even more special.

As for the vendors we actually had to hire... we have Jami from Absolute Entertainment as our DJ (and I'm thrilled about our music selections), and The Main Ingredient is making our cupcakes and bartending.
