This is fun! Here's my contribution...It's about 4 years old. I was Brittney Spears (and no, I wasn't really prego at the time) and my sis was Richard Simmons.

Those are so cute! What a great idea. Oh well, my wedding is over
It goes by way too quickly! -
Just an update...The wedding was last night and it was amazing!!! (with the exception of my dress. I had major back fat and am hoping pics come out ok) Everyone kept telling us that the best part of a wedding is the cocktail hour and the mingling, and basically our entire wedding was that! Also that it felt like it was really long (in a good way) because we didn't do any of the "wedding" stuff, so the fun never stopped. The food was ridiculous good and the venue was incredible. If you know anyone who is looking for a venue in NJ, Clark's Landing is incredible!

I checked the site out for you, and they actually do ship to Canada. It's $24 to ship. I found a coupon code that will save you almost that much, so it's like getting free shipping!Quote:

I haven't had the time to be excited yet! I just had my friends wedding yesterday I was her Maid of Honor (which should really be called wedding slave.) So I haven't had a chance to think about my wedding yet! This week is gonna be crazy...Quote:

Don't feel bad about that. We did the same exact thing. Well, actually nobody at all knows that we did the courthouse thing at all! ( We did it early for insurance purposes.) We did it like you did because we wanted to make sure it didn't feel like a wedding at all. That way it wouldn't take away from the real wedding. I bet that once you have your actual wedding, you won't regret your decision.Quote:

This is the way I wanted it because I wanted our "real" wedding to be the only one that was important. Now it makes me sad that we didn't celebrate at all. It feels to anticlimactic.
Anyone think of a cute "redo" idea -
I wish I had the time! I'm DVR-ing it right now. I am maid of honor in my best friend's wedding Saturday, have her rehearsal dinner tomorrow, and my wedding next Friday. Then we all leave for Bermuda on Sunday. Meanwhile I have a butt load of school work and tests to do before I go!!!! What am I doing on BDW? Ugh...off to do accounting and a fashion research project (blah.)
-
I was asking if you saw it because it is very disappointing in person. I was also in love with that dress, but up close it looks very poorly constructed. The organza flowers were all unraveled and frayed. They had just gotten it in too, so its not like it was that way from being handled a lot. I would definitely not buy it unless you see it first. Sorry to bust your bubble, but I would hate to buy a dress and be disappointed.
-
Have you seen it in person? I am only asking because I saw it up close at the shop where I bought my dress.

I bought a TTD that I'm trying to sell right now because I am getting married at home instead. But now that I found this one, I'm debating getting it and having a TTD shoot anyway because I love it so much. Do you think it can be worn just to dinner on a cruise also? Or is it way too wedding dress-ish? (I love my made up words)
-
I am in love and its only $99. Even though I'm not getting married in Bermuda anymore, I may need to do a TTD while I'm there!
-
I DVR'ed it and for some reason it cut off the end! AHHHH!!! Now I have to wait and re-watch it. What I saw was hilarious though!
-
No, I need to cancel my appointment. He wants nothing to do with it. I'm kinda upset about it, because its a once in a lifetime opportunity. But at the same time I understand his concerns. What if it DOES ruin our wedding by making us and the guests uncomfortable. I would never live that one down (or forgive myself for ruining my wedding.) I can't wait to see the show though. I hope I don't kick myself when it does come on, and wish I had done it.
-
So FI flat out refuses to do the tv show. Oh well. There goes my 15 minutes of fame
-
Ugh. FI wants nothing to do with this and he is refusing to participate. Just my luck. I beat the odds and get chosen and he doesn't want to do it. I am still working on him though. I have to call and ask more questions tomorrow about it. He is afraid it will add too much stress for us, and make our guests uncomfortable. I have told a pretty good amount of people (all of which are guests) and they are all excited about the idea. I guess I will have to see what they say tomorrow about how intrusive they are at the reception and perhaps I will sway FI to go for it.
-
Yay! Premiere tomorrow! Does anyone watch this? I don't think many people "get" this type of comedy, but it is hands down the funniest show on tv. That, and Arrested Development. What a shame that one didn't take off. I love me some Michael Cera.
-
OMG I wish! I am trying to convince FI to do it. He's saying that all they want are trainwreck brides and we will look stupid. It's totally not that kind of show at all. They said it's nothing like Bridezillas, and they don't interfere with your wedding at all. Lets see what happens on Friday!Quote:

So I filled this out on a whim, and actually got called! Because they are looking for a "beach" bride, and someone with a unique story (as you may know, mine definitely is,) she said my chances are very good of being picked. I have an appointment on Friday to meet with TLC to find out! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy! Something may actually be going right with my wedding!
The details are in my previous post...

My best friend had an invite situation just last week. Her awful FMIL mailed out invites for her rehearsal dinner. They were awful. Like dollar store, fill in the blank kind. Nowhere on the invite did she write the bride and groom's name, so if you were involved in more than 1 wedding, you would have no clue who the rehearsal was for. And the best part was that she only put the time and place of the restaurant, which obviously happens AFTER the rehearsal at the church. Nowhere on there does it mention the church. My friend even made sure that she told FMIL about the time to meet at the church, and to make sure it was clearly written on the invite. My friend had to go and make brand new invites the next day, and got tons of calls asking why 2 separate invites went out. Can you believe her FMIL had the nerve to be pissed off about her sending out new invites! The whole point of the rehearsal dinner is to REHEARSE the wedding at the church! I guess my point is, sometimes you need to do things regardless of the drama it may cause. After all it IS your wedding, and you want your guests to show up. How can that happen if they can't even be sure that the invite is correct.
-
Looks like ANOTHER wedding show I will be annoying my FI with! (He keeps asking me if I am still going to watch all this sh*t after the wedding!) Umm...of course!
-
So cute! What a great idea!

Well, we actually have 2 wedding songs. The first is Bob Marley "Is this Love." They will be playing it when we walk back up the aisle together after the ceremony. The second is Adele "Make you Feel my Love." We are going to have the DJ start playing it, and announce that the bride and groom would like everyone to join in as they dance to their wedding song. This way everyone is already on the dance floor and basically already up dancing. That way we aren't out there alone with everyone gawking at us. I hate the thought of that. We are still doing the cake and cake cutting. If anyone knows me well, they know that I am all about the cake at a wedding! My thought is that I don't want the party (and dancing) to stop, and I don't ant all those things breaking up the night. I just didn't know how well that would go over, since so many people expect those "wedding" things to happen.Quote:

I've been to wedding before, and had such a great time that I didn't even realise they didn't do certain traditional elements. Not until the next day when mum asked who caught the bouquet! It was such a blast - and really reflected the couple.
I think its awful when the wedding doesn't reflect the couple. Some friends of ours are very very laid back couple, been engageged for 5 years, bbq and beers friends, and at the request of parents had a really really formal wedding - and they just looked uncomfortable! and it made the guests uncomfortable too.
I think there is nothing better at a wedding than seeing the bride and groom have an absolute blast!
Actually I think you have inspired me to cut some things too! I never even thought to cutting the first dance. we like dancing together, but are the WORST dancers in the world - we would much rather have a quietintimate moment with each other dancing then having everyone staring!
You go girl!
Who knows where I'll stop now! No cake!

These are my girls' dresses (we got the crystal blue)
and they come in a gorgeous hot pink or orange. I wish my girls would have been on board with those colors.
I'm back from my non-destination wedding! *PICS*
in Post your Destination Wedding & Engagement Pictures!
Posted
I haven't been so active here anymore, since my destination wedding had to be canceled and re-planned back at home. I figured I would post some pics for those who have been following my planning drama. I only have a few from friends so far, but they will be getting updated daily, and at some point the pro photos will be on this link too. The favorites tab has the good ones. The "guest photo" section is probably a little boring, since they came from some of the guests, and they are mostly of them taking pictures of each other at the table.
