Our contract arrived about 3 weeks late and we didn't hear from our EM until about 6 months prior to the wedding. Don't get worried if it takes a while (I know it is very hard to wait). FTW gets everything done and focuses on events that are immediately pending - so don't be surprised if it takes about a month to hear something after you send the contract.
Also - I know there are some changes in some people's EM's with Lynn leaving. Our EM left FTW about six weeks before our wedding. In the end it actually was no big deal - our folder with all of our information was just passed on to the next person and he got it together just fine. So, even if there are changes, don't stress too much - it will all work out and your wedding will be wonderful!
