Mandy

Just don't drive yourself crazy proofing everything else!

At least she's not your FSIL or someone like that!!!

I would check with the other teachers. If this is going to happen to a lot of them, you might consider moving the date. If it's just her, do not move the date. Then, someone else might not be able to come, etc, etc. Make a list of about 3-4 people (like maybe your parents) who absolutely HAVE to be there, and as long as they can make it, don't give it another thought. My own brother couldn't come because of work, but changing the date wasn't an option for us.

What's the latest? Any word from work as far as time off?

Congrats!!! Have an awesome time in Mexico! (And I love your hair!)

Felicidades!!!

We used the ipod, but I haven't heard anything negative about the DJ there. We just didn't want to pay to rent the speakers when we could buy portable speakers for nearly the same price. Basically, we were being cheap!

I still would bet that when you get there, they will ask your guests anyway. Who knows.

Dez, if you're not 100% sure, remember there's absolutely nothing wrong with postponing your wedding for a while. It's not the same as walking away, it's just a chance to work things out BEFORE you get married. It may give you time to fall completely in love with each other, or you may decide that this isn't how you want to spend the rest of your life. I suggest you take this time and not have to work under the deadline of the impending marriage.

25. My brother was 20 when he proposed to his wife, and she was 18.

Dez, how are things going at home? I hope everything is ok.

I would, but I don't have the templates!

I bought mine from a florist in town. He does real and fake flowers, and we had him do the stuff for my AHR. While we were there, we asked if he had anything for a hair flower. I got to go pick out anything I wanted for $10, and he would wrap the stem so it would stay in my hair. He just cut the flower off of the stem. He took some type of flexible wire and just used this papery stuff to wrap it all the way onto the stem. Maybe this would be an option for you?

If divorce was not an option, ever, would you still marry this man? If not, don't do it. You've only set yourself up to fail. Even if you still love him now, it WILL fade, and then you're only left with the emotional abuse you've been describing. Once the feelings of love leave, you will be miserable. I know it's hard to get out while you still have these feelings (or even the memory of these feelings), but you have to try to think ahead a little. In my limited experience, marriage is hard even when you're completely committed to each other. I can't imagine going through it with someone who I thought even once didn't love me completely. We're all here for you, no matter what you decide.

Could someone who has these files downloaded possibly email them to me [email protected]. Thank You SSSOOOOOO MUCH!! I just gave you some points so you can download them. Have fun!!

I had a fake one, so that way I could wear it to my legal ceremony, my wedding, and my AHR. Three for the price of one!

Can your lay your cards out like Courtney and just make everyone pick them up as they come in? That way you don't have to make the seating chart, and they still have their cards with the distinguishing marks in front of them when they sit down.

So, Do people have to decide before coming which of the two menu items they will eat? When do I pay for all of it, at the beginning or end of the stay at the hotel? Thanks! We didn't choose ahead of time. Everyone picked after we sat down for dinner. But, things could have changed. I know it's a shocker: "EDR changes their policy!" Wouldn't be the first time we've ever heard that, if it's the case.

I just posted this in the August thread too, but here's mine. My mom and grandma did them for me, and I really like how they turned out! We used starfish from Oriental Trading Co, and just hot glued them on.

By the way, Maura, did I ever show you what we ended up doing with those placecards I bought from you? My mom and grandma did them for me, and I really like how they turned out!
