Thanks a lot guys & especially to you, clevergirl67!
(Again, I don't have to worry about the reception, guests, cake, food, & also photography/videography's taken care of.)
I'll do the best I can getting it all together & check this stuff out. Unfortunately, it's going to be raining tha next 3 weeks quite often...finally rare rain for southern California, but what timing for it to all happen NOW! But, normally, I like rain.
I didn't go anywhere today, so couldn't start looking at anything yet. Did mk nail appt & trying to mk hair appt.
Things went smoother than I thought to get everything & schedule to have them done in just 2 weeks w/ my still having to work & w/ all the rain!

I don't know which item you're talking about exactly, but everything's taken care of, except some little stuff to still get (makeup, eyelashes, toiletries, etc.) & fiance' just needs black shoes. It will definitely be nice enough. Ceremony's 1.5 hrs, then we're getting back home to be warm & cozy!
(I got my dress, shoes, & earrings in 1 day at 1 store.)

This is the time of year we went shopping for my daughter's dress, and at David's Bridal all the Mother of the Bride type dresses on sale at ridiculous prices. I got mine for about $30! The link below is for all dresses, set to the color you described. You can finagle the settings however you want, obviously.
If you don't have a David's Bridal nearby, the places I would go for the dress and a fancy suit is Dillard's, Belk, and Macy's, in that order.
If your stuff needs alterations, look for a place nearby; don't use David's Bridal because it will take forever. A seamstress can do it within days.
Also, be prepared to give a big donation to the church for you not needing to deal with food or a cake. Ask how many guests you can invite; they usual limit it to 4 depending on how large the sanctuary is.
Next is a photographer! Ask for referrals from friends on social media.
A local florist can do your bouquet and boutonniere, or you can order them online and design them yourself, but you'll have to do that like today, if they'll even be able to get to you on time (make sure you verify that first). If you do silk flowers, that's even easier, and you can keep them forever. That's what I did. Ask a crafty friend to help you out. A trip to Michael's or Hobby Lobby will be in order.
If you are going to do a reception, let us know. I can definitely help you with ideas for that! I am a planner, so just ask!
OMG, excellent reminder to provide a generous donation to the church for making this all possible.
It's so quick though, probably didn't have a chance to go through any standard pre-marital counseling that most pastors recommend.

Right, I had known about that. But yes, it wasn't even a requirement that we have to be members of the church to partake in this. The minister may not even personally know everyone getting married. It's a big church. I've personally gone maybe 7-10x throughout the years.
