Those are great!! If any brides who have later weddings want to share once the time gets closer and we know how many guests we have let me know. My wedding is 12/08. Colors are red and light blue/aqua.
First of all---welcome!!!
As for the price - what are you including in that price? All your travel and hotel? You can totally do it for that price depending on what you include.
I say do it in CA. It saves quite a bit of work. As for the date...one event will be your wedding, the other will be the day you signed some papers. You don't need to worry about which one is really your anniversary.
My mom was in town this weekend and I showed her my top 2 dresses....and I decided on this one!!!

Sorry there is no pic of me in it. I go back to get measured next weekend.
Welcome!! Wanna be my sister and plan my wedding?
We are planning on honeymooning in Thailand on our 1 year anniversary. I'll probably bug you for info on that.
My thing is that I have trouble coming up with new "welcomes" for everyone. I don't want to seem impersonal but there are only so many ways to say welcome to the site. I feel like I've written a million this week and they were probably all the same.
So...for the newbies I missed - Welcome! I can't wait to get to know you all so I have something more to share!
And as for the flux of new peeps - Props to Tammy for that. You really have created an amazing environment for us to share in.
I guess I should clarify what I'm doing. If there is a single that knows no one else I'm doing and guest - eg. my one friend from work I'm inviting. All the other singles know everyone else invited so it's not like they are alone. We all travel together all the time and usually SO's aren't invited at all - even husbands.
It normal. I always feel ginormous during Flow's visit. Just don't give up. The working out is helping - it's just going to take about 4 more weeks to really see results. It's frustrating, but worth it in the long run.
My only concern with "and guest" for the singles was that we were really selective about our guestlist. We didn't include a lot of people we wanted to just to keep the list small. It would be weird for us to have total strangers as an "and guest" at the wedding knowing there were a ton of other people we know and love and didn't invite just to keep the list small. Does that make sense? It's early here and my brain is muddled.
