Activity for Rebecca

So our officiant is balancing FH's Catholicism with my agnostic/pagan outlook, and this includes a handfasting. I've always wanted one, but I've also always been really vague about what that meant, simply that we would have cords/say something. We're...

After a failed attempt to get permission from the Church, we're having a dear friend marry us. He's done this for other friends of ours, and he's one of those wonderfully eloquent people with a Made for Acting voice. Anywho, he emailed us tonight...

...And spent $75 on craft supplies for the centerpieces. (Not done buying stuff, yet, need to figure out if there's a place we can spraypaint things.) Also, FH got ideas for the seating chart, and we now have a great working knowledge of our...

So, that's fun. Woke up to a notification on my Knot app, said someone had RSVP'd online. Open it up, it's my mother. And she declined. Yes, she was JUST at my wedding shower (she took the pics I posted). I'm not terribly surprised. There was...

FH and I went through the rain to the post office today to send off the invites! Very excited and very nervous. We are doing online RSVPs, so we shall see how that goes (I'm no longer optimistic given these forums). Our invites were a weird weight,...

One of my BMs texted me today. She's just started yet another new job (after discrimination at the old one forced her to leave), after moving out to be with her partner in Ohio in November. She said she hadn't gotten the dress, yet, and she wasn't...

Ugh. I hate that I'm even writing this. But now it's coming to me from totally separate people, so... My BP is great. Granted, 4 out of 5 of them know each other/are friends, so with a little negotiation, they get along just fine. (The 5th is out of...

As you can see from my recent posts, I've been stressed a little. But tonight things got a little better: FH came home from dealing with a family thing in CA. He got out of the train minutes after I got out of work, so we could walk home together. We...

Hi all, I'm in a bit of a panic. The priest at FH's NYC church just denied us, at 3 1/2 months out, and we can no longer get married in his church. We had planned the entire wedding around this, and we are really blind sided. We desperately need a...

So, after all the talks with the priest, after the precana disaster... We just spoke to the priest and he is not comfortable having us marry in the church. He is fine with us marrying... he just doesn't think we are in a place where it would be a...

So, my FFILs will be going out of the country from June-July. We were trying to nail down the dates, because we're having a co-ed bridal shower, and we had hoped to have his parents there. Once we nailed the dates down, I told my MOH, and she took it...

Ok, maybe not every time, but it sure feels like it. Went BM dress shopping with my maids today, and now I have a fever and feel *awful*. I had a cold last week, when I had my first fitting and our tasting. FH had MONO right after we got engaged....
