Here's my story. He wanted to go out on New Years Eve. I never go out than. I stopped in my late 20's early 30's. He knew this, but he convinced me to go. So, we went to the Outback resturant. Had dinner. All through dinner, he kept asking me did I need to go to the bathroom and telling me where it was at. When I finally did, it was after we had finished eating and had order the containers to take our leftovers home. When I got back, I thought he had put my food in the container, because it was closed, but he hadn't. I opened the container and there it was. I just started laughing and telling him get out of here. He never asked and I never said yes, but it was official.

Welcome Kelly

Jackie, I am glad to hear you fixed the problem.

I know what you say is true, but we both come from a very large and close family. When you have been together for this long, your family wants to be there. No family members are giving us the quilt trip, well not most. It just sad that we can't share our day with them. On the other hand, how many would be able to come if we had the wedding here either. There would be a few that couldn't come or no shows. Our entire wedding party has backed out. No MOH, or BM. We understand that they can't afford to go and are fine with their decision. It just makes it hard sometimes. The only people that we had problems with is FH's BF's wife. She sent me a really nasty email when we announced our plans. Other than that, I had an aunt, who has been throwing hints about us staying here, but for the most part everyone as been supportive. Here I go rambling again. Sorry about that.

I have spoke to my travel agent and wedding coordinators at the 2 resorts we are considering. As of now we are expecting about 35 + guests..... we can not book yet, as it is too early for 2008 bookings. This is all new to me, and I would just like to know where to get started! The reason it is too early, is the budget. Most places won't set there projections for their business until 12-16 months prior to the new year. It also depends when their fiscal year begins. Based on these projects, they set the price. I would call back in a couple of months or ask when they will be booking for next year.

You are a "Centric-Venturer Traveler". Here is what they said about me. SPOOKY You fit between Venturers and Authentics but with a leaning towards the Venturer side. Three out of ten travelers (30%) place in your group, making you one of the largest segments of travelers. You have a broad interest in travel and are more flexible and adaptable than both Authentics and Venturers, with a willingness to sample new destinations. Unlike Venturers, you prefer at least a modest selection of good hotels before you visit an area. You also favor destinations where you're sure to find food that can be trusted and an efficient transportation system. But, when over-commercialization sets in, signified by many souvenir shops, the intrusion of fast food outlets, and the diesel smell from too many tourist buses, you will move on. The great capitals of Europe have long been favorites, but some of these now seem overcrowded and far too expensive. Therefore, when you go to Europe you might visit smaller towns and enjoy leisurely drives through the countryside. And, when you go into villages, you particularly enjoy staying at quaint inns in contrast to well-known hotels. Your interest in a diverse set of destinations means you could enjoy a cruise in the Greek Isles, a car trip through gold mining ghost towns in California, or a shopping spree in New York City equally well. You will probably return to a place that you particularly like every two to four years, interspersing other new destinations in between. In some respects, you can have the most satisfying travel experiences because of your ability to absorb, and like, such different types of places. If you follow the typical pattern for your personality, you travel both independently (probably with a spouse or a friend) and occasionally take a fully escorted tour. This might include international tours and domestic to see New England's fall colors, a visit to Southern mansions, or follow historic routes as part of a tour group. Depending upon your age, the Elderhostel program is largely made up of your type. While you don't enjoy large cruise ships, you've decided that smaller cruises are more interesting than you ever thought. You especially like the fact that cruises are easy and comfortable ways to explore new places because your hotel room goes with you wherever you are and you don't have to pack and unpack every day. You don't mind flying, but you're also content to drive to your destination. And unlike many of those towards the authentic end of the scale, you sometimes fly to your destination and then rent a car so you can explore on your own. You also mix up the kinds of lodging that you use. On the same trip you might stay at a three or four star hotel, an economy/budget motel, and a B&B. MEDIA HABITS: You enjoy quite a few shows on TV, read an occasional book, and some of the popular magazines. SHOPPING: You don't like paying more for anything than you have to, so while you might be interested in newfangled technological gadgets, you won't actually purchase them until they have proven themselves in the marketplace and their prices have dropped. In general, you stick to popular brands, believing that they've earned their prominence in the marketplace on their quality and reliability. SPORTS: You participate in sports such as golf, tennis, or basketball in your spare time and when you travel you enjoy leisurely hikes and bike rides.

Hi Tye, I am new here too, so I think we will be learning this site together.

Thanks. Yep. We already call ourselves husband and wife. The marriage is more of a formality, plus I want my wedding. I don't even have to change my last name. We have the same. Real easy and sweet.

Feel free to steal the idea. I found some at orientaltrading.com, but you have to decorate them yourself. The ones that I am going to get aren't as nice as those, but they will save me some time. www.partypro.com - discount, bulk, and wholesale party supplies - bulk pirate party supplies I may try to embellish them some.

Thank you for the warm welcome. You are so correct and I know this, but there is still that voice. Everytime I think about cancelling it, I think of what a wise person told me. " Who cares if 1 or 2 or 5 people come, as long as you, daddy and me are there, it is fine." my 9 year old daughter. Out of the mouths of babes.

Hi all, I am new here and my name is Sandi. I was looking for someone to talk to about my DW, which will be held on the Princess Cruise Line Eastern Caribbean cruise in August 2007. Greg and I have been together for 16 years this Feb. 14. He finally proposed to me Dec. 13, 2007. We (meaning me) decided to have a DW because of the cost of hosting a wedding in my state. It is extremely expensive. When I found out about the cost of a DW, I said that's what we are going to do. I am experiencing some quilt, because of the cost to my guest. I couldn't think of another way to have my dream wedding without sending us to the poor house. I am rambling. Just wanted to say hello.
