1) i picked up my ring in the city on saturday, and dan really likes it. i ordered it without him. i originally was on a research-only mission, but this ring was simple but unique, and matched my one-of-a-kind e-ring amazingly well. and the saleswoman was kind of high-pressure. i ended up caving

Awesome! I just ordered my save-the-dates...I'm feeling less terrified and more excited again. But yours is coming up a lot sooner than mine, isn't it? That's a great story about your officiant too (o:

i think i saw your post about the save-the-dates. are they from vistaprint? i;m considering using them for our RSVP cards, so let me know how thery work out.

i've been feeling a bit overwhelmed, and it is indeed coming up quick! i think the trick is to chip away at everything, slowly but surely. we want to make our own invites, so i better get on that project quite soon. it was a major stress-factor last week, so i should really do it and get it behind me :)

good luck with everything!

[ladydisaster]

Yes, Vistaprint. Someone commented and told me they came out great for her, so I'm hoping they'll be nice. They certainly were cheap.

We want to make our own invites too but that really does seem like a huge job that I should get started on soon. Eek!

Good luck to you too, I look forward to hearing how you survive it all (o:

we're going to make our invitations but get them printed at OfficeMax. it's kind of ironic that i feel this way, as i'm always so gung-ho about mail related crafts, but i don't want them to be a huge project, and i'd rather have more money to spend on nice booze or take to thailand for the honeymoon. maybe i;m just overwhelmed by all the fancy & expensive wedding invitation options out there, and by the fact that although dan has a lot of ideas for wedding-related things, he does minimal research and decision-making.

i, too, am looking forward to seeing me on the other side of this. let's just say i look forward to boarding the plane to thailand (oh yeah, assuming we get our tickets booked and all that. it's one of the many things on the list)

Ooh, Thailand? That sounds amazing! We're thinking A) Camping in the Grand Canyon, B) Cruise (blah), or C) Europe the summer after the wedding, which is my favorite idea.

[dabblersupreme]

we're most heavily debating thailand vs. eastern europe somewhere, but thailand is currently winning.

i vote C for you! although we were considering delaying the honey,moon by a month, and it's slightly disappointing to think there won't be an immediate getaway. especiallys ince we mighjt have 9 people staying with us around the wedding time, i will be very much looking forward to heading to the airport!

where in europe were you thinking?

[ladydisaster]

Well, Michael's been before - to Germany, Switzerland, and France, but I've never been at all. We want to go to France, England, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and if at all possible, Prague. So a lot of traveling. I found some hostel information, that's probably how we'd stay nights.

Yeah...we won't get a honeymoon right after the wedding anyway, a lot of out of town relatives plus school on Monday. We want to just find a hotel for the wedding night, have a brunch on Sunday with the out-of-towners, and then back to our lives. The cruise would have been in February, but I'm not really all that interested in a cruise, and it would be with family anyway, so not quite what we had in mind, nice though it would probably be.

[dabblersupreme]

we'll have a lot of family & friends in from out of town, so we'll stick around sunday & monday for some post-wedding gatherings and just to hang out, but then we'll hopefully fly out on tuesday
