Meeting #1

I met up with Lil J aka bestie aka the bride-to-be the weekend after she got proposed to. As we were walking towards the restaurant for lunch, I noticed she had a book in her hand. I was wondering why she brought a book along. After settling at a table, my question was answered. Lil J passed the book [which was tied-up prettily with a ribbon] to me and said "For you."

It's a guide book on how to be a bridesmaid/ maid-of-honor. It seemed she had been eyeing the book at the bookstore for quite some time, but didn't have the excuse to buy it till now... Hmmmm... Do I have a potential bridezilla on my hands?

After oohing and aahing at her ring and listening to the 'proposal story', we got straight into discussing the basic things to start working on. I've got a list of about 9 things to do, mostly to do with getting contacts and quotes for flowers, dresses, etc. But before I can do anything, I think it's important I know her budget and when/where she will tie the knot.

First meeting already 9 to-dos... Think I'd better get myself a diary to jot things down. Don't want to be forgetting important items, dates, etc.
