jajajaja

Ok while I really LOVE this picture, the one thing that bothers me is the white veil with a dark ivory/champagne dress. (Sorry if the bride ever read this.) IMO, it's noticeable. I would buy a veil after you purchase the dress. You may end up changing your mind on style too depending on the type of dress you get.

I'm such an awkward person- I don't think I could pull off calling my FMIL "mom." I'm definitely not a lovey-dovey person either and my whole family isn't really affectionate. I mean, we love each other- we just show it other ways. Thankfully my FMIL has not made that request. Maybe you could have a name for her that just you call her? LIke some kind of nickname. For example, when my mom married my stepdad we didn't know what to call my step grandma. It was just really awkward because she didn't exactly view us as grandchildren. My stepdad came up with "goob" because her maiden name was Cooper and kids teased her when she was in high school and called her goober. So we just called her goob. Eventually the rest of the family started calling her that too and she would always sign her cards and letters "goob."

What a wonderful keepsake- for everyone. It's beautiful.

ya, I think someone posted that news article on the forum one time. I totally remember that story because I was like what kind of demented person would run a sex ring operation with senior citizens. Welp, I'm glad we got that all cleared up.

Woohoo May 16! Too bad for FI. He hasn't even filed yet. Sucka!

Is she invited to yours? Personally- I wouldn't go. You can always tell when people are miserable and I wouldn't give anyone a reason to talk more about a very awkward situation. You have a legit excuse. Were you even invited last minute too? Even more of an excuse. Also- who has a shower at 10am? THat's such an odd time- unless you make it a brunch I suppose. I hope you all will be able to work it out in the end. This is your future family- even if they do suck. When it all boils down, all if its silly. Focus on the big picture- marrying your FI. Forget the rest and just have a good time.

Oh pretty design. It will photograph beautiful. I got mine from occansey in a shimmer ivory. I love the color!

SHe look gorgeous. She always has such a soft, dewey complextion. *bitch*

Since when do guys get all fussy over this stuff. Weird. Anyways- I agree with everyone. Why does he think he has a right to dictate? I'd send out the STDs ASAP. He hasn't even proposed yet. How can he have a date? Sounds like he's putting the cart in front of the horse.

You all picked my wedding day! How sweet! thanks for honoring us. hehe

I'm happy that I have the start of a sore throat. Oh i'm sorry- this isnt the "post if your sarcastically happy" thread?

haha we registered for a Wii. And a xbox 360. Silly FI. Anyways, I don't have one yet, but they look so fun. I've watched someone play a boxing game. THat was hysterical. They almost punched eachother.

haha I got this email yesterday. I wanted to post it here but I got so bogged down at work I forgot. I think someone started a rumor that tomorrow is my last work day so everyone suddenly has "projects" for me to complete before I leave! I'm glad you spread the fun. I think it's hilarious. Love the play on words too.

Ohhhh I'm always late. I missed the picture! Boo. I couldn't ignore this- I'm not that diplomatic. I like the idea of sending it to the husband "accidentally."

haha that's great Christa. Our marketing dept is dangerous with photoshop. I saw a poor girl get her face photoshopped onto a catepillar body and they sent it out to all of our VIP guests as an invite for a slot tournament. They all call her "Jen Bug" so for the tourney they called it the "June Bug" slot tourney since it was in June. THey also made tshirts with the picture as a give away. I felt so bad for her.

I never realized they used "real human hair" until I read the package. I used some very obvious fake ones- that was the look I wanted, but my sister who has never used fake lashes before wore the more subtle ones. I think I may do those for my wedding. Cheap and they weren't too obvious. Although I will never buy the black glue again. I got it all over my eyelid and it does not come off easy!

I missed your cups. SOOO CUTE. Great idea Morgan. I think they are adorable and I want one.

We have already been married too- just a few months ago to save money. We are having a "symbolic ceremony" which comes with a symbolic certificate. I think that's pretty common. Just have a symbolic ceremony.

My FI and I work at the same company. For his 30 birthday I made posters and hung them up all over- in break rooms, by our time clocks, in the back of house. We have 1600 employees so LOTS of people saw them. FI has been in the company for 12 years so he knows a lot of people too. It was hysterical. Here's the picture I used for the poster: It read "here's to 30 years of filling out. Happy birthday Steve."

I mean we all want to look good, but some just bitch about even a really decent dress. I feel sorry for brides everywhere.

I have a crazy spontaneous friend- but she's about 4 hrs away.

OMG last year we had a prank war between my cousin (she use to live with us) and my FI. It started by him putting saran wrap on her toilet. She countered by replacing his precious vitamins with dog food. He then stole her chapstick (natural ice) and removed the chapstick and molded deodorant to look like chapstick. (This was my idea and it was hysterical to watch her face after she put it on her lips.) She then opened tuna and poured the juice all over his deodorant and placed the can in our walk in closet. OMG our clothes smelled so bad. I made them call a truce after that. For some office pranks, we like to either remove the ball from the mouse or tape the laser so it won't work. Sometimes my desk gets reorganized too. I can't think of any more office ones. I like Maria's to make the screen upside down. I accidentally did that one time and I freaked out because I didn't know how to fix it. I had to google it. haha

Oh this totally happened to me too! I got some call over and over again about how I won a free trip and to call them back. So annoying. I need to remember to give fake numbers. I'm not that quick on my feet!

haha thats a good idea. Make get to know them as a friend first. My FI and I were "friends" for like 8 months before we started dating. He asked me out all the time but I would say no because I wasn't sure I wanted to go there. Thank goodness he kept asking til I said yes.

Looks great! Totally reusable. Now it looks like a souvenir instead of a "wedding" favor. I'm sure all guests will totally love them.
