Amazon.com: TAO 1.5-Inch Digital Keychain Frame (Brushed Metal): Electronics I need help on what to get for the grooms men- We thought of getting leathermen knives but one guy joking said "as long as I don't get one for a gift" ( he said he got one the last 2 weddings he was in) The 3 guys are outdoor types, any ideas? Why not get the boys the key chains also? Guys love gadgetty gifts, they can put pics of their kids, wives/girlfriends, cars, boats, motorcycles, friends, etc..... Kelly~

I also see them, it looks like a perfect honeymoon, too bad it ends all to soon! Kelly~

How exciting, a change of name, even if it is just an initial Kelly~

(just my thoughts) Not to mention that she has not sent you the invite (be thankful), so you are in the clear. Kelly~

hehehe funny, (it's a JOKE girls), I'm sure no homeless women were offended in the making of this joke! LOL

Your wedding band goes on your finger first, closer to your heart, and then you place your e-ring on after. During your ceremony put your e-ring on your right hand and switch it back after you are married. Kelly~

One of mine was going to be: a) I'm not sure I want to have kids b/c I'm scared that my identity will have to change and I REALLY don't like the idea of hanging out with crazy moms who want to talk about PTA things, what color their kid's poop was last as you know it doesn't have to don't ever hang out with first time mom's, they are the wonight, or how much they hate their husband because he won't help out. I'm glad to know a successful mom who feels the same way - maybe there's hope Natasha, Have kids they are the best, I adore my children, life as you know it doesn't have to end! Just take this advice don't hang out with first time mom's (I'm sorry if I offended someone, just talking from my experiences, so don't take it personally). I will be even a little more honest, I don't really like other peoples kids (oh I hear you all gasping collectively) I have no patience for them (well honestly it is usually the parents I have no patience for) My children don't do the regular kid stuff, we don't do barney, not many toys(I find kids don't usually play with them anyway) we don't do amusment parks, kids music, or chucky cheese. My children are very well behaved and enjoy venus, such as art gallerys, hiking, long drives, dinner out, boating, the sky (a big deal in our house), all music (we go to many festivals in Toronto), and books. Take today for example we spent the day walking around Kennsington Market (The T.O equivilent of greenwhich village in NY), not once did Liam complain. We walked, browsed, listened to music, bought fruit (more exciting then toys!), sat on a patio and ate chinese food, and yes all of my children including Liam use chop sticks. I surround my self with women who have children, but are not defined by their children. Everton and I have a life outside of our kids, and the kids expect that from us. I also am a firm believer in kid time and grown up time. Such as New years is a grown up holiday (you won't find us ringing in the New Year with our kids), and I love a good kid free dinner party. Your children will definitely become the focal point of your life, but you may also enjoy the part of you who enjoyed life with out kids. You will most certainly have to be the good mom, and endure the christmas concerts and apple orchards of your childrens lives, make some small talk with the mom's, and politely decline the coffee invites. Always bring a good book to the park, and avoid eye contact, this is your key to survival!!! lol But who knows, your tiny bundle of joy could enter your life, and surprise surprise, all of a sudden you know nothing more facinating then the colour of their poop!!!LOL (Natasha it really is a risk worth taking!) Kelly~

WOOHOO Kelly~

Awww your nieces, so cute! You looked beautiful your dress was pretty. My daughter, Kenda, says your dress is her favourite dress she has seen so far. Kelly~

Ahh your too sweet!! I have been calling Everton my husband and he calling me his wife for so long (7 years) that unfortunately we are beyond the blushing stage. I envy you for that. Kelly~

Wow Andrea your dress is so pretty. Everything is coming together for you, you must be so happy (and relieved). I love your handy camera work, LOL! Kelly~

Andrea your rings are beautiful. Oh it is so real now isn't it Kelly~

I think they are totally vintage glam, they are perfect for the mood you want to set. Kelly~

I was going to use sand dollars. Put their name on the front of the sand dollar, and then ask them to write a message on the back of the sd. You will then have nice keepsake from your guests. Kelly~

I ordered all of my kids t-shirts that have a picture for example, a heart with angel wings or devil wings, and through the pic it says, their title and who they are, like Maid of Honour, Daughter of the Bride, or Liam, Son of the Bride & Groom and on the back a Canadian Maple leaf with their names through it. We also got tanks for Everton and I with Happy faces and Bride/Groom under the face. For after the wedding we got Just married tanks. It is a cute site, easy to use with lots of choice. I love this idea, we are goig to wear the t's at our welcome reception, and then again the day of the wedding (my teenagers are oh so excited!!!LOL) Kelly~

I am wearing a beautiful light blue strappless bra, and my undies are really cute boy shorts that are personalized. They say Kelly loves Everton, on the front right hand side,and across the bum they say Just Married. Everton hasn't seen them, they are a surprise. I will post a pic as soon as I figure out how. These are my something blue, oh and my shoes also. Kelly~

Are you letting people know ahead of time that the accomadations, and ai are paid for? This will surely determine if people say yes or not. By the way really great of you fil.

Our wedding party are our 5 children. I got the 3 girls these beautiful charm neclaces. they each have a birthstone crystal, a chinese symbol for love on a small round pendant, and a round larger pendant which say, for Nicole-Hope, for Kenda- Dream, and for Bria-Luck (she's a gymnast). For Timothy and Liam, it is proving to be more difficult, we are thinking i.d bracelets. Because they are our children we are going to give them their gifts after we are all dressed for the wedding. Traditionally I think the rehersal party is where the gifts are usually distributed. Kelly~

Thought this could be fun thread to start up again! I am a germaphobe, hate getting my hands dirty, and travel with my own sheets and pillow case. If in a restaurant, I can't think about my food being made, or I would never eat. I can't eat food over 2 days old. I am scared of fire, I have fire extinguishers all over my house. I am terrified of someone taking Liam, strangers are always touching him, it drives me crazy. I hate hugging anyone but my kids, and Everton. When pregnant I was addicted to fabric softner sheets, put them in my pillow cases, they were in all my pockets, and all over my house. I never answer my phone. I taught my children nursery rhymes, but changed all the words, (my kids would argue with teachers that their version was right because mommy says) I hate all things related to pta moms, school concerts, play dates, parks, volunteering in the classroom, and coffee with the moms! Oh I have so much more, but I think have already said too much!!! Kelly~

The venue is beautiful, after seeing the pics, it is way better then the other ones. Do you feel relieved to see how pretty it's going to be? So now that you have th venue settled, I will be waiting for my invite!!!!LOL Kelly~ Oh yeah Laura, I hope you signed up for the starfish, now that you have the date, I think the starfish needs to experience a beautiful ontario wedding don't you?
