Be forewarned, I knocked this out in an evening, so it may potentially be riddled with error and awfulness.  There are also some blanks since I don't know what our celebrant is going to say yet (she is writing her part and won't show it to us until a couple of weeks beforehand).  That said, want to read this beast over and tell me what you think?

Even when I cross out the people I don't think will show up, I am still at 75 people for our reception... and the capacity of our venue is 50.

holy shit on a stick, what am I going to do if all these people decide to come?!

I am trying to think of what I could wear for my engagement photos.  I want to have something relatively warm prepared but I don't think it'll be winter coat weather (I hope?) so I don't want to cop out and just wear a coat and jeans.  This would all be so much easier if I could wear heels, but as FH is my exact height, that's not going to happen ( Read more... )

Can I just say how much I hate security deposits?  Like I can magically pull hundreds of dollars out of nowhere and let people keep the money for months.  ARgghhh.  The place where I am having my rehearsal picnic requires full payment all at one time, so it's $500 due immediately, they won't even hold the date until they have 100% of the money.  It ( Read more... )

I don't know what to get my FH for a wedding gift!

He doesn't like stuff.  He said he doesn't want me doing boudoir pics.  He's not really a manly-man type, and he doesn't dress up often, so things like cuff links, watch, etc are out.  All of the sports he likes are one-time investment kind of things-- we already own skis, snowshoes, running gear, ( Read more... )

Teehee, I love playing with the countdown :) I'm going to call this my six-month progress post, even though the six month mark was (eep!) already three days ago! The wedding's happening 06-12-10. My last post included photos of most of the stuff I've done thus far, so this one won't have a lot of pictures, since they'd be repeats anyway.

This has been the hardest decision yet! Forget the dress, the venue, etc... we can't for the life of us decide what music to use during the ceremony. There are a couple of challenges, one being that we want to use music we love but not give our grandmas heart attacks because of how non-traditional we are, and the other being that we need to find ( Read more... )

I think I've lost his wedding band! SHITTTTTTT. I remember about two weeks ago I was like, "I shouldn't keep this in my purse anymore, I should put it somewhere safer." So I did. But......now I don't know where that somewhere safer IS! *kicks self*

This one is no photos, just a list of everything, vendors and what have you.

I picked up a quote stack (it's a scrapbooking thing) of love quotes and thought I'd post them in case they help anyone else who is looking.

Love is the golden thread that ties our hearts and souls together.  -Mother Teresa

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. -Emily Bronte

Love is always bestowed as a gift--freely, willingly and ( Read more... )
