Today's my last day of work before the wedding. I SO do not want to be working, but am trying to be productive (mostly succeeding? partly succeeding?). Blah. So I talk to FI, who's out with his BM...
So, Monday night & last night I tried calling the venue owner as I had a few questions. What comes out of it is this: 1. Venue owner is in JAMAICA and won't be back til very late on Wednesday. What?...
The first time I got married (and when relatives got married) the order of service (what was said by minister/us) was pretty much the same... "Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today..." and used...
At a craft fair last month, I met a woman who creates fairy gardens and paints vases/mugs/champagne flutes. She made me 3 vases to put the bouquets in (the BMs will each get to take one home). They...
Normally I would list the BM, the GM, the musicians, the officiant, my parents, FI's parents, my grandparents and FI's grandparents. However, FI's parents won't be able to come to the wedding...
Okay, so, here's two pics of me in my dress. The one where I'm just wearing a necklace is from June, when I picked up the dress after hem/bustle were done. Other pic (where I have on the pearls), is...
So, yeah...show us your wedding shoes! Here's mine! Hopefully it's not too cold and doesn't rain. O.o
Okay, so, I do prefer real flowers, but I wanted to save some money (and not have to scramble to put fresh flowers together a few days before the wedding), so these are silk. They aren't the best...
So, I went and replied to a post this morning, and then did a double take... Finally got my 5th star! Didn't think I'd manage that til my wedding.
So...One of the things on my to-do list is making thank you tags. Attached are some pics of the two types of favors - the bottle opener comes in the package that is shown. The picture frame comes in a...
My parents have been divorced for about 13 years now. Money was always an issue with them - were they each contributing the same/enough for my bro & I, etc. My dad has serious issues with letting...
So, with less than a month to go, I'm debating if I should try to find a make-up artist. I'm not necessarily the best with makeup and even if I use cleaning products on my face, I still break out...
So, it's sounding like we'll have a fair amount of cake left (we could see about getting rid of one layer, but each is a different flavor and I'd really like to have all 3) due to less guests RSVPing...
My cousin and I put together the boutonnieres for FI/GM as well as the bouquets for myself and my BMs. I was going to skip having corsages/boutonnieres for the parents/grandparents due to limited...
Sorry this is kinda long. :/ I work as an engineer and am the main income for FI & I. I know I should be glad I have a job and it's a good paying one, but I really hate it sometimes. If I could go...
So my mom (despite me saying it wasn't necessary) has been giving us $200/mo since this spring for the wedding and has paid for a few other things as well (including paying to rent out all the...
For my wedding bouquets boutonnieres I was going to use orange tiger lilies (my favorite). I have the additional flowers I'll need for the bouquets, but I've run into a problem with the tiger lilies....
The vast majority of the wedding FI & I are paying for (my 2nd wedding, his 1st). My mom is contributing. I told her it was unnecessary, but she insisted; for my 1st wedding, she gave me a couple...
So, for my wedding, I've set myself a budget of $300 for my dress (w/o alterations), though if there's a dress I *really* can't live without, I may go up to $400. Really though, I'd like...
So, for anyone who has been married before (or if you haven't been married but already have some things decided): If there was something(s) you could go back and change about your wedding/reception,...
