Raykel-- We've missed you. Don't let anyone drag down your day let that day revolve around you and your fiance only! Hope you have a great engagement party!

 

Shells-- Lol.... keep your legs closed! wow... here i thought you would be the shy girl having to be told to loosen up a little bit.

You are a doll Timberly.... thank you... email me an invoice... please add a couple of dollars to the invoice because paypal will charge you to use their service... Thanks again

I know you guys are right about the selfish people who think the world revolves around them....it just sucks when it actually someone you were incredibly close to all your life until...oh about the time we start planning the wedding But I agree it is our day and that is what we are trying to focus on.

 

The e party was good....given we had a blizzard the day before and had to shovel out of the house....and pick up a few people who only have small cute cars....we still had a pretty good turnout. Ummm yummy Pina Coladas. They were supposed to be a signature drink we shared with everyone, but I think about 6 of us drank them all I will post a few photos, but since the FI HATES having his photo taken, he won't be in many. I think that is the part of the wedding he is dreading...the photos.

 

Timberly - you are such a sweetheart to go and do that shopping:)

Good Morning Ladies! I sent out a request for some real touch flowers from a vendor and I am hoping and praying that they aren't to swamped this time of year to do a rush order on them for me. The hotel bouquets for me start at $140 and the boutiner cost like $35.....so fake flowers here I come!

I'm thinking of getting real touch too. So...what will you do with the bouquet that's included in the free package at MP? Part of my considers just using that one, but still deciding.

Most of the brides haven't liked the free bouquet and have upgraded to the expensive ones-- I know the wedding I attended there the bride did and I thought the expensive one was pretty ugly!

Hope everyone has had a good weekend

 

Feeling kind of glum today, dont know maybe its the cold gray weather (I dont know how you guys manage the winters, I think I have seasonal affective disorder)...or that my FI is totally absorbed in football and has zero interest in the details of the wedding.

 

I moved to the east coast, 2 weeks before I met him (2 years ago this week) and so have made zero good friends here (I have my mom and some nice coworkers but I also work alone a lot so its very acquaintancey )... ie no one within driving distance to share the little wedding details with.

 

Today I found on this website a wedding coloring book (personalized and printed out for the kids), DIY beach bookmarks (cute and cheap), and created a Superbowl (we r getting married superbowl weekend) crossword puzzle- with this cool program... took me like 2 hours to make and was so pleased with my work and he has NO interest... not his fault but doesnt help my gloom. If anyone is interested in making their own, let me know and i can find the links. I think the guests will appreciate the thought.

 

I am so happy for you Shells that you enjoyed your boudoir shoot

 

Timberly, that was really sweet of you (I second or 3rd or 4th it)

 

I looked for Erika myself- last post 11/24? Im sure she is just out there catching up on jet lag and enjoying Asia (lucky thing)

 

Id love to hear how real touch flowers are. The only flowers I am taking with are freeze dried rose petals. I think we have purchased about a gizzillion of them to toss and for decoration on the tables (which will just have a glass bowl with sand, shells and a candle rather than flowers because I blew the flower budget on the real flower bouquets)

 

My free bouquet is fushia orchids and the bridesmaids are peony pink, so my grandmother is having the bouquet in her room as a flower arrangement. I know she will be touched (my mom practically started crying when I asked her if it was a good idea)

 

Our beer koozies arrived the other day. Got my FI to design them... they say- Alison and Austin got married and all I got was this damn koozie 2-6-2010... ha ha

 

We also start dance lessons this week. We dont know what song for though- thats a whole nother story. What are you guys' first dance songs- do you know yet?
