Activity for Carole M (a.k.a "old tart")

The FH does not want to rent a tux. The formality doesn't match our theme. So, we went looking for a double breasted suit in an earthtone, preferrable a green with a pinstripe. Anywhoo...both Mens WareHouse and Joseph A Bank Clothiers have anything...

UGG....Yesterday, Caterer #1 wanted to charge me $3.00 additional for coffee/tea service. I told them the venue would take care of that. This morning: Caterer #2 informed me she cannot sign a contract guaranteeing a price per head, because the...

We are having a fall DW wedding in Mount Snow, Vermont. We are having both the venue and ceremony at the inn all of the guests will be staying at. While the owners offered to cook, we prefer Italin, so we began our nightmare search for a caterer....

Hello ladies... Reading Sierrmiss's post reminded me that I need an opionion. I don't know how to post pics, so I will post links. I am thinking ivory or peach in the first one, and champagne or ivory in the second one. In the second one, I will be...

Hi ladies....I am just curious which way the young gals are going with this one. My daughter wants a birdcage, and in my family that would be considered a MAJOR FAUX PAS! In our family, you get a loot bag, and take the time to go to every table and...

Hi everyone....If I posted this before, I apologize, but I don't think I did. We are only having 50 people. Our cake is 3 tiers, hat box stacked, but it will look tiny. Soo, I was thinking....why not use a hat box. It will add 81/2 inches to the...

Hi everyone.... We are having a DW. All guests will be staying in the same bed and breakfast. We will be providing a welcome dinner on Friday evening. HOwever, since I am providing a self service, top shelf, open bar for the reception(for about 6...

The FH and I cry at the drop of a hat on a normal day, but on our wedding day, I expect a great many tears. I do wear waterproof mascara, but I had a question? Last night, I was watching a show in which someone was having their make-up done, and the...

Hi everyone....I will admit, even before I was engaged(2 years ago), I was totally addicted to wedding shows: Platinum Weddings, Rich Bride Poor Bride, and David Tutera. I watched because I knew I would be planning a princess wedding for my 23 year...

Hi everyone....I hate trying on clothes and shopping for clothes. Yes, I know I may be a bit odd, but what can I say. Anywho, I found a website called Light In the Box. The prices are incredible and they will even do a custom measurement. I can't go...

We have to rent our china and flatware, because we don't care for the china or flatware offered by the B and B we are having the ceremony/reception at? I would like to rent gold chargers, the FH thinks they are unnecessary. The FH wants TO BUY...

Hi all... Please excuse my forum ignorance, but I received a message asking to "connect". What does that mean? I apologize in advance for my stupidity.

Hi everyone.... I just found this forum. Anywhoo, I already did my website on "The Knot", but their forum is not too active. It appears more active here. How user friendly is it to build your website here? It took me hours to do it over there because...

Hi everyone.... Congrats on all of your pending weddings. My fiance' and I are getting married on October 1, 2011. It is a destination wedding in Vermont. Our theme is a celebration of fall, biker style, with a touch of casual elegance. We are both...
