Not Your Average Bride

WifedUp, on December 7, 2012 at 6:38 PM Posted in Planning 0 55

I'm new here, but from what I've seen so far, it seems to be a great community!

A little about me, I'm Courtney, 27, and my fiance, Jess, is 24 (and looooooves to call me a cougar because its apparently hilarious lol), and our wedding is scheduled for March 23rd in Asheville, NC. (Where hasn't been determined yet, but we are looking at area parks). My slight OCD loves the date because not only is is 03.23.13, its also our third anniversary Smiley smile Love when things work out like that! I am not your avg bride in that I like things unconventional and unusual. I just picked out my dress, and it has feathers! I'll also most likely be wearing either blue or turquoise, no white for this bride! We will be doing most everything ourselves (flowers, planning, decor etc) to save money. My sister is a professional photographer and is bringing a few of her photog friends to help out, so that's covered.

That's all I can think of at the moment but ask me anything you want to know!

    Thanks!

    @Celia that is true, I didnt realize it sounded like that. I just meant that I'm a bit more unconventional than most Smiley smile Hope it didn't offend anyone!

    Damn Courtney...I am so unconventional that you so offended me LOL...not really but I do like the fact that you went with what you want =) My dress is short but no feathers for me because FH is afraid of birds hee-hee...maybe I should get a feathered dress for a practical joke....

    Thanks everyone for the welcomes Smiley smile

    @tiedaknot that would either be a hilariously funny or horribly awful prank, depending on the level of his bird fear!

    @Jamie G I wish we could afford to get married there! It is absolutely gorgeous but it also costs an arm and a leg. But I will be just as happy in a park Smiley smile

    @Ashley D fun is exactly what I was going for. I was actually trying on dresses all week and got so depressed and down because nothing was grabbing me. The way I described it to my sister was, "I want something fun and funky, not polished and put-together" and then today I was scouring the net for the hundredth time and came upon that one, which I've seen before, and it just grabbed me! I guess I had to try on others and figure out exactly what I was looking for first Smiley smile

    Welcome aboard, and congrats! Our wedding was a bit on the odd side (or extremely odd, if you ask some of my family, lol!), so I completely understand. Example of the oddness - all of my attendants (including Man of Honor) wore wings, and one of my BM's is a professional faerie. Always nice to see another out of the ordinary bride, and great dress!

    Cute dress. Nothing annoys me more when when I see brides say "I'm not your average bride" does that mean the rest of us are average and boring..answer is no. Just be careful how you word things! I am betting every bride on this site doesn't like being called average!
