Apologies for Radio Silence
GeekyPunkyBride in Planning, on August 30, 2013 at 1:35 PM

I apologize for the radio silence. Things that aren't wedding related got a little out of hand this months -- serious roommate issues, health problems, money problems and my mental issues have blown...

Venue Awesomeness
GeekyPunkyBride in Planning, on August 7, 2013 at 1:23 AM

We did decide to go with the Heritage Center Country School, which is located within Belmar Park. So, we went to drop off the signed contract (which our site coordinator generously let us take home...

So a friend of ours has generously offered to create our wedding stationary designs, including all invite pieces (invites, details and RSVP cards), STDs and thank you cards. We're planning on using...

Day Of Timeline & My Mother
GeekyPunkyBride in Planning, on August 7, 2013 at 7:54 PM

Talking to my mother this afternoon makes me want a cigarette! I'm trying to quit, dangit! We were discussing what I thought the day of timeline MIGHT look like, and I have 2 hour set up, 1 hour of...

Guest book alternative?
GeekyPunkyBride in Style and Décor, on August 4, 2013 at 1:11 PM

So, I actually thought about Nancy T's suggestion that I pick up a box shaped like a vintage book, and incorporate *that* into our decor. I then thought about what I would put INTO the box. The...

Updates: Venue, DIY and Trying to Form A Bride's Posse
GeekyPunkyBride in Do It Yourself, on August 2, 2013 at 2:10 AM

FH was on vacation for 8 days, and so I had some time I got to spend with him that we don't usually get, so I apologize if i haven't been as diligent as I would like to be. We had SNAFU for the second...

Honeymoon Registeries: Tacky or acceptable?
GeekyPunkyBride in Honeymoon, on July 29, 2013 at 12:02 AM

Okay, so here's the thing. To go with our book-themed wedding, the "it takes a village" approach we're using for planning (we've approached or been approached by friends and family for services like...

E-photos Session
GeekyPunkyBride in Etiquette and Advice, on July 30, 2013 at 7:26 PM

So, we're broke as a joke and I want to have some engagement photos anyway. We've come up with a couple of options. My cousin is starting up her own biz, but only works outdoors and on location. She's...

Tried on dress for first time
GeekyPunkyBride in Wedding Attire, on July 24, 2013 at 5:29 PM

Okay, so not the best pic of me or the dress, but whatever. Growing my hair out a bit for the wedding, and I'm adding a navy sash. It fits perfectly right now, little room to gain a pound or two, but...

How new is the "something new?"
GeekyPunkyBride in Style and Décor, on July 21, 2013 at 2:24 AM

So, wondering how new the "something new" thing has to be. I have a string of pearls that FH gave me for our 1 year anniversary, they will be a year old and some months at the time we wed. I've not...

My first DIY!
GeekyPunkyBride in Do It Yourself, on July 20, 2013 at 2:19 PM

I made a banner! Ok, so maybe not the most difficult or time consuming of projects, and it didn't come out precisely perfect (some of the ribbon holes were not exactly centered) but I made it. It'll...

NWR: The Mental Health Edition
GeekyPunkyBride in Fitness and Health, on July 17, 2013 at 2:34 AM

Not sure how the FH would handle me posting on this, but it's easier to vent to a bunch of people on the internet then people I *know* IRL. Donno why. So, we've been going through a rough patch...

Venue second look
GeekyPunkyBride in Planning, on July 14, 2013 at 12:59 PM

Has anyone gone back to a venue that you both loved, but wanted to make sure that it was the right fit? We went to one such place and I decided I wanted to take a look at one more site (I've only so...

Food snag
GeekyPunkyBride in Planning, on July 13, 2013 at 2:52 AM

As I've mentioned, both me and FH work for a national "natural" grocery chain. We're likely doing the catering through his store, not including bakery work. We're putting some feelers out to see what...

GLBTQ Friendly Wedding -- and some non-GLBTQ friendly family
GeekyPunkyBride in Planning, on July 10, 2013 at 3:51 PM

So, we're still in the early-early planning stages for our wedding but a few things are preying in my mind. One of them is that FH and I are huge GLBTQ allies -- both did a lot of theater, I've gone...

Sweet surprise
GeekyPunkyBride in Community Conversations, on July 12, 2013 at 12:39 AM

Wondered who else's FH (or FW) tends to surprise them with little things? Mine knows I've been griping about not having any padded hangers for my dress in the house, so I haven't actually UNPACKED my...

Almost a Year to Go!
GeekyPunkyBride in Planning, on July 10, 2013 at 12:52 AM

New to the forums, but been browsing the site for a little while. My FH and I got engaged on my 30th birthday in May and thus far it's been sort of... well, shocking how easy the wedding planning is...
