Activity for Original VC

I've been struggling with my dissertation for a while now - it's a long story and I don't want to bore anybody with it. My parents are pissed off that I'm not finishing this Ph.D. sooner, and it has become a sore subject with them. Well, since last...

Are there any British Columbia brides here? Hopefully nobody will be affected by this. Apparently the local agricultural land authority forbids any non-agricultural activity on farm land....

My excuse for being here is that I celebrated Thanksgiving over a month ago, as we do in Canada. Who's here today? How is your day going?

Last time we tried this, it was a bust - and I was one of the guilty ones that couldn't make it in the end, I'll admit to that! And now all of the Winnipeg WW ladies I've met are happily married. So, are there any new brides-to-be in Winnipeg that...

It's been 3 months since the last time I posted this. Hello, Canadian brides and grooms! If you're in the Great White North, please post your name, your city, and your wedding date. Maybe you'll meet more brides/grooms in your area. To make it more...

Thanks to Bethie for this idea! This thread is for those who love to travel, to talk about their past travels, and to hear/read about other people's adventures. Doesn't matter if it's a short road trip or a months-long journey around the world, tell...

When we were budgeting for our wedding, I checked these links to get an idea of how much people spend on specific things. Of course, these should be adjusted to big cities vs. small towns, or whether you'll spend a lot or a little in each category....

We leave for our honeymoon in 9 days! It will be almost 3 weeks of sightseeing and walking a lot. I don't want to wear sneakers all the time. It will be late September/early October, so sandals are also out of the question. What kind of shoes (other...

The other post was not about what I wanted to hear, so here it is. What unique wedding customs are common in your region or area? Or, if it's not from your area but you've heard of interesting customs somewhere else, post them too!

It's been a few months now since my last Canadian shout out. Hello, everyone in the great white north! Please post below and introduce yourselves, tell us where you are and your wedding date. Maybe you'll find more brides in your town!

I thought of putting the cards we received from our guests in photo albums, but it turned out not to be very practical - made the album too thick to close, lol. How are you storing - or will you store - your wedding cards?

VIstaprint has a sitewide sale with up to 50 percent discounts. Thank you cards have 40 percent off, and I think wedding invitations have the same - the code is SAVEBIG. Also, Michaels in Canada has a 50 percent off coupon right now - hopefully the...

I got my BMs a pocket mirror with a gem design on the outside, and made them silver bracelets with a cabochon of their hometown and silver necklace pendants with a little pearl and a little pendant with their initials. FH got them the cufflinks, also...

We'll leave for our honeymoon roughly around the time our photographer will have our pics ready, about 3 weeks after our wedding, and we'd be back about a month and a half after our wedding day. I was hoping to order the Thank You notes soon, so I...
