Band or DJ?

We went to look at Russo's last night. Gorgeous, yes, but I don't think I will be having my wedding there. But I did see a band, and I loved it. Mike has to check them out, but I didn't consider a band until last night. I do love live music. I have been to a bajillion concerts in my lifetime. I don't know how I didn't consider it. I am so confused how this goes though. When do I book a hall? Is it too soon?

Holy Moly-I'm Engaged

So at this point, I am sure you know that Mike proposed to me. If you didn't know, you wouldn't be reading this. He proposed on Valentine's Day, and it was perfect. My ring is amazing, and I am very excited about the planning. But, how exactly do you plan a wedding? I feel like I am jumping the gun. I haven't bought a dress yet or anything, but I need to have some order to this. I wish I could take a class on planning a wedding. I have no idea how in the world it even works. When exactly do I buy a dress? Or invitations? How will I know we have found the "right place?" Or when do we get to run around Bed, Bath and Beyond with price guns and tell everyone what we want? So confusing. So maybe I am not "really excited" about the planning, but am really nervous instead. I love my fiance more than anything, but never thought I would be this stressed out in my entire life, and it's only been a week. I am so glad I have an amazing support system, including Mike, who is the coolest cucumber in the entire world. I've asked almost all of the girls I want in my wedding, and must say, I have a hot, little bridal party! Also, it feels great that 95% of the people who have congratulated me and Mike seemed really genuine. The other 5% can suck it.
