27. Paying it off

Well, we have finally reached the part of the planning process where we are starting to pay off some of our vendors. I am proud to say that we have paid off the cake and the flowers, and really the only expenses we have left are the DJ, food, and hotel. Of course, I can't pay for our hotel rooms until we use them! We will make final payments with the DJ in a couple of weeks, and with the caterer when we have our final head count (two weeks before the wedding). It looks like we are just barely going to make our minimum of 100 people, which is just fine. We are so lucky to have 100 people in our lives who would travel or spend the time to witness our marriage. We are less than four weeks away (and so far, under budget, too)!
