LCBride2007

that's how paul and i look at it too - it's all a part of me! my ex works at the same company i do (and paul does as well!). we all work in different states, but our paths do cross. and i sent him a gift when he had his babies, and he just sent us a wedding gift. we're all good! and yes - that was a tad off the original topic! lol i love that idea of a money jar! and i know a loonie is money, but what denomination? or is it just a general term?

woohoo! congratulations!

congrats to the both of you!

oh wow...WOW! i love the one where he's kissing you on the cheek, and you're laughing - so sweet! i can't imagine ... 1700 pics! now i can't wait to see the books you put together!

yay! happy wedding day (almost!)

i'm so excited for all of the 7/7/07 weddings! sarah, you are going to be one SMOKIN' bride! best wishes!

i am so excited for your wedding, Anny! with the invites, and STDs that you made - i have no doubt your wedding will be spectacular!

i will play with it today ... and this weekend .. stay tuned!

who wants my old invitation? lol or are you talking about just the frame and stuff?

I've been gone so my building signed for it and it is locked up in the office. It's killing me . . . I'm taking a road trip so I don't know when I'll see mine either. Arrrrgh!! too funny! i will say - it isn't like a super artistic video, or have any neat camera work - but it does show the entire evening pretty well. i can't wait until you get yours Quote: Originally Posted by Nini_Bride No, Ann! Not just the ceremony!! When I watched Sarahs, I cried the most during the reception! lol Or, you know... whatever you want to share with us... lol - ok, ok! i want to figure out how to upload it - maybe between paul and i we can figure it out.

Jamy - I don't think those tips are outdatd at all, I think they seem almost obvious, but sometimes the obvious is overlooked. I am still trying to find a counselor in our area and I plan on making an appt soon. Thank you all! I do feel much better about us today, so perhaps I was just having an offday yesterday. Back to work... i don't know if you belong to a church, or have ties to one - but often they offer counseling too i think.

oh no - it's not still hanging up! it is sitting in the basement with all of the other stuff we need to hang though - but this won't be going up! lol

good point, Shelley - my STDs didn't go out until about 5 mos before the wedding. a year ahead of time would have been WAAYYYY too early for my group. then my invites went out 8 weeks ahead of time. i didn't plan any details of my welcome dinner until i got to mexico, so 3 days before the dinner. i had the date secured, but that ended up being about the only thing!

oh - you're totally fine. i was engaged at the end of Sept and already got married in June. let us know how we can help!

Don't judge anything until you try it on. Mags had her mind made up on a gown of antique lace. She really only tried this one on because her FMIL and I thought it was so different. But the minute it was hooked up in the back, the tears fell like rain! Mikki, thanks. She looks alot like I did at her age. She's definately my kid! Court,Thanks for the kind words. It is finally starting to really feel like there is going to be a wedding, WHOOT!! Ann, It is exciting and I am so happy to be involved in the planning. Everytime I talk to Tadd's mom she comments on how I am the expert on destination weddings. (LOL) Whatever I do know I learned from all of you kids on this forum. So a HUGE Thanks!She's my baby girl and together with all of you guys guiding me, we will make this one hell of a celebration for Maggie and Tadd. you are just too cute! i think it's awesome that you're so involved in planning Maggie's wedding ... what fun!

ok, here is the framed invite ...

looks like it's 10-15 min of video for free ... i think mine is like an hour! but really i can't imagine everyone wants to see the whole thing - maybe just the ceremony? still researching. i am even considering paying the $39.99 for a year membership - by then people won't want to see it anymore! One True Media - slideshows, slide shows, video sharing, video montages, share to TiVo, premium music, effects and transitions

oohh -i will definitely check this out - thanks!

very cool - let us know how it turns out!

oh, thanks for reminding me ... i'll take a picture. it really was a nice personal gift (too bad we divorced!) lol

awww - thank you! i am sure they will understand - brides change their mind all of the time! i do feel bad though - did we talk you out of the veil that you really liked? i hope not! what kind of veil did you get priced out?

have you looked at some of the clipart, that's what i used!
