Small and simple is our motto for this wedding. We always said we wanted a short engagement (6 months) and an intimate wedding. We're really trying to stick to it (despite protests from every single person we know).

Oh there will be time. My wedding is March 24th and my first dress alter is Feb 16, that is what the bridal store set up too, based on the wedding date! You'll have plenty of time!
I had a 6 month engagement also. Engaged in Sept, married in March! We are having an 'off season' wedding, which around here is Nov - March. That means that vendors are freed up a lot allowing them to cater to you more and work with a short engagement. Its worked out wonderfully so far! we'll see how it goes on the wedding day! YIKES!!!!
I can't believe it, 54 days to the wedding! Time is FLYING by!
We made 95 8oz jars of homemade grape jelly from the Concord grapes in our yard for favors. We boiled them, strained them, made the jelly and canned them all!!! It was 3 full days of work, then we made labels for every jar and tied ribbons/bows around the lids. We are going to put stickers on the top of every jar with people's names and table (placecards) so people take the jelly home! We finally finished them this past friday night (except the placecard part), what a relief!!!! Our centerpieces have a bunch of little pieces, but we took wine bottles (empty of course) and spray painted them with chalkboard spray paint. We are naming the tables different wines, which we will write on the bottles. Then we have a bunch of fake grapes and votive holders with those LED votives, my mom made the holders, they are wine corks glued together and onto a cork coaster with a white ribbon tied around them. We got the wine bottles all sprayed, so now I need to put ribbon on those ... and then I'm done all wedding presentation prep work! YAY!!!!!
