Nov 08 brides

there was a thread started by twinkletoes yesterday about the ceremony order. it had some good tips in it.

for our programs we are just putting the names of our parents, bridal party, witnesses, and translator (if we have a family member do it). Oh and a small thank you for everyone that came. That's it.

Here is the ceremony I put together, it follows the order the Dreams had provided us...

Ladies, we got our marriage license yesterday!! AHHHHH! Very exciting!!!! Totally Crazy!!

We got our marriage licence awhile ago and we are having our legal day next friday!!!!! I better find a present for my sister too, since it is our birthday that day too. My baby sister will be 17...I remember her being a little baby so clearly!

If that time flies that quickly, our weddings will be here in what will only seem like a sneeze!

Erica and Stephanie are you guys keeping your legal ceremonies secret or telling people?

So i sold the turqoise raffia fans since the color didn't match as good as i thought it would and ordered new bamboo ones yesterday. They came today, so fast. I love them.

Here's what they look like:

I ordered them from favorsandflowers.com Great site!

Oh and i finally ordered Derek's shirt for the wedding and the last gm shirt from weddingtropics.com so glad that's done. And my dad is finally going to meet me tomorrow to get fitted for his pants. I might try to help my mom look for a dress 2morrow too. I'm taking the day off work so i might as well do something productive. I just keep putting off cleaning my house haha.

Funny.. the closer it gets the less stressed I'm getting too!! Just more excited for the wedding to FINALLY get here.. haha

I don't think I'm going to do programs or anything like that.. our guest list will probably be small enough that most everyone knows each other already.. heh

We were going to keep it quiet, but decided not to keep it secret in the end. Everyone is fine with it, and the few that have given us a bit of a look, I tell them that only our MOH and BM are going to be there and that my Mom isn't even going to be there and she is fine with that. Then they are completely fine with it. We also tell them that even though we are doing the legal thing here, we aren't exchanging rings and our 'wedding' will be down in the Dominican.

Those are nice fans Danielle. The turquoise ones are dark, but they actually go with the colour of the bridesmaid dresses.

I really liked the turqoise fans I was a little bummed when i realized they didn't match my bm dresses at all. But that i got the new fans, i'm happy again! WooHoo!
