Wedding background

Mr. Tango and I have been engaged for over a year now, and although I'm only now starting to write and really get into planning, I have indeed done some of my background work. As I will inevitably be focusing quite a bit on what I have yet to do, I figured now would be a good opportunity to let you in on what I do have done.

1. I have the venue, which is in Panama (cheaper than the U.S. and his family/friends will actually be able to attend). Mr. Tango and I went there before we were engaged, looked at each other, and said "We're going to get married here". It's beautiful and although we can't have the ceremony when and where we want (sunset right where the picture was taken), we booked it.

2. They do their own catering - at around $50/person, it was more than we wanted to spend, but decided food is important to us, so we'll suck it up.
(Picture FSIL sent from her wedding. Not my style!)


3. Photographer... Again, we spent more than we wanted to (almost $2,000!!), but found someone who we like and doesn't take pictures that look like they're from the 80s. That doesn't sound like a big deal, but every other place we found in Panama had posed pictures with blurred edges, pastel colors, and all around not my taste.






That's about it. Now to finally get started on everything else. Ideas on where to begin?
