Welcome!!! Happy Planning!!!

Your pictures are beautiful!!

Thanks so much girls for all of your support! I almost forgot that I had posted this. I guess I was looking for support for myself! Thank you! I just finally sat down in my comfy chair with my laptop & Propel (berry water). Last night was the viewing & this morning was the mass & funeral with full military honor. Afterwards we spent time with his family at my FMIL's home. It was all very emotional. I'm glad it's over though. Not in a selfish way. I just feel that now is the time for my FI to grieve privately and move forward. Actually on the way home I text a few of his friends who met us at our home. They picked him up & took him for a few beers. I figured it would do him good! AND it's giving me time to just breathe!!!!! Thanks to all of you for listening!

Congratulations!!!! PS I LUV UR DRESS!!!!!!!!

Hi guys! This has been a crazy week for my FI and I! Earlier this year his father was diagnosed with ALS. They gave him 2 years max to live. Last week on Monday my FI had surgery! Everything was well. He was fully recovered by Thursday. Thursday night we got a call from his family saying that his Dad was in Intensive Care. Saturday morning FFIL died. This has been extremely hard on my FI but especially because while his father was ill he would not visit him often. He said it was too hard. Plus growing up his Dad divorced his mom when he was in 3rd grade (after his Dad finished medical school) and FI and his mom struggled while his father remarried (stepmom is a doctor) and payed $200/month child support. FI mom never took his Dad to court. She just thought if he wanted to pay $200 then that would be that & she worked 2-3 jobs to support her and her son. His Dad had no movement in his entire body. He couldn't talk. They fed him through a feeding tube. Yet his mind was fully aware of what was going on. HIS DAD WAS A 55 YEAR OLD DOCTOR WHO TOOK GREAT CARE OF HIMSELF!!!!! Tonight is the viewing and tomorrow morning is the funeral. FI is taking this very hard. Lots of regrets for not spending time with his Dad when he had the chance. Regrets for not talking to his Dad & "fixing" things. To anyone who may be in a similar situation with a loved one or a friend, nows the time to rekindle your relationship. One day (s)he may not be here. I don't want to preach to you guys, but seriously "forgiveness" makes a world of difference!

You will find tons of great ideas/information here! Happy planning!

Thanks soooo much for sharing girls!! I'm getting lots of great wedding pic ideas!

Hey guys! I still have not picked the colors for our wedding. I love the idea of orange and hot pink. Maybe chocolate? April in Puerto Rico so I think it should be tropical... The problem is I have to see it! Do you guys have any pictures of what inspired your orange theme? Or where do you think I can look for ideas? Time is ticking and I'm getting sooo much crap from people because I haven't decided! Thanks for your help!
