ThefutureMrsBrown

Vanessa, welcome!!! I'm getting married at Magen's Bay on Oct 16, 2010. I'm pressed for time also, let's bond and help each other.

Congrats!! Can't wait to see the photos and review.

I confess that I hoped my happy little behind on a plane to Miami and meet up with some of my old undergrad girlfriends and had a blast for the last five days without Devin.

That being said, they're very nice and responsive. Thanks @Willow88

One last thing: I confess I have been snooping around trying to found out where my FI is taking me on our honeymoon. I hate not knowing, it's killing me!!

I hope none of you have to go through this. It's very traumatic, but I am doing much better. It's been 10 days now and my HCG levels are almost back to zero. *sigh I am so sorry to hear this.

I confess that I really thought planning a DW would be less stressful. I want this whole wedding thing to be over and done with because I’m sick and tired of everyone at this point. I confess that I dislike one of my FI’s best friends; he really gets on my last nerve. In the last couple of weeks he has caused more drama than a PMSing Bride to be. I confess that I love my FI so much it hurts. We were sitting on the couch last night watching ESPN, he turns to me and out of the blue says “I love you” and I said Dude, I love you too.”” That’s my guy!!! I confess that I’m so ready to start a have a baby.

I have to question how he could be angry, did he not see the invitations before they went out? PS. I also know a friend of a friend, who, if she were to marry her long time BF, she would become Leslie Leslie... that's too funny! He's more upset or shouold I say "tired" of them going on and on about it.

My friend ordered her wedding invitations from them. I was impressed with the quality, it was much better than what I expected. So yes, Kudo's to them!!

Im not sure what to do. My aunt took the non-traditional route and was escorted down the aisle by her husband. We are not having a very traditional or formal event, but Im still not sure what to do. Who is walking you down the aisle? What do you think about choosing to walk by yourself? It’s an honor for a father to walking his daughter down the aisle, however I’m not so sure your dad deserves any honor since he didn’t speak to you for years and you don’t have the best relationship with him. The nerve of him!!! I say walk yourself down the aisle and when you see him, thank him for coming to the wedding like you would any other invited guest.

Thanks@Jesmcan!!

I would have SO much fun with that! And tell Kelly not to worry because Kelly is VERY common as a male name here. Actually I think I know more males named Kelly than I do females... And besides, he could have been given a really ridiculous name, like Apple! lol And to get married and be "Kelly Kelly" would be HILARIOUS! Even more hilarious because I actually watch wrestling (I know, I know lol) and one of the female wrestlers is actually named Kelly Kelly lol Too Funny!!

FI and I have the same first name “Kelly†but his friends and I call him by his middle name Devin and he calls me by my middle name Stephanie. Well when I sent out our wedding invitations I wanted to be formal so of course I used our full names; ever since then his friends have been joking with him about his first name. All this time they never knew his name was Kelly. I think its funny, but he’s not to happy about it
