Call DJ about ride to airport







I would think about calling the LIMO company instead, the DJ might not get you there in time ....

Re: OMG..july 4th weekend brides.. what's left?

I just have to finish my placecards and programs, finish packing for the HM, make the rest of the final payments and book a town car to the airport. That's what I have left, and I am hoping to have it all done by Friday so I can relax next week!

~Tip envelopes
~Limo to get to the airport
~Give song list to trumpeters
