Can we start yet?

We are still in the pre-pre-pre-pre planning stage. It's getting old and is time to move on. My father has taken over most of the planning but is starting to be more accomadating. My aunt, grandma and sister are absolutely stuck on the fact that I need a fancy, expensive dress. We don't even have a venue or date picked out yet and all they can talk about is a stupid dress. Why is it becoming more and more apparent that my brain is not screwed on straight when ever anything about the wedding comes up. I just want to get the ball rolling. My dad has contacts at the Herrington in Geneva, IL and is getting a list of dates from them that we can pick from. Maybe then we can start actually planning things...
