His response to us-he was “Speechless.” Awww...so sweet of him. He told me a few days after the wedding that he thought I looked more beautiful than I have ever looked. That makes me so happy. awwwwwwwwww, shivers! so sweet!

haha, no prob, we were all new and excited once! when you think you're the first person to ever think of something, nope haha, lots of times its already been discussed! that's what makes the search function so cool, i've gotten lost in it before! so much to read and learn! i havent ordered from shell horizons, but there are lots of different places other gals have ordered shells, etc. from. maybe they can chime in?

oh yeah heather, we're all about the OT on BDW! lot's of us are using them for MANY things!

Had to look it up there real quick. ~~ you're right, i love OT, but those starfish are VERY tiny, like the size of nickles. fyi

kathi that sucks, but i am glad you got to make up. sometimes fighting helps i know what you mean. and ooh, hopefully there will be some more making up tonight? heehee what??

I thought we needed to revive this thread again to remind us all why we're "here" (BDW) in the first place Today I'm happy because I get to go wedding crazy this weekend! We finally sorted out all our $ issues and now it's time to buy all the little things that will make our wedding special. So excited!! YAY!

My son will be coming to the wedding but FI's son will not, so we decided not to incorporate anything beyond the typical legal cermony vows, but I really enjoyed reading yours! thanks gals!

that bites sorry to hear it.

we're supposed to meet our photog at 7pm, but he said depending on weather conditions be ready to meet by 6. SO, since it's cloudy but dry right now, we'll see!

we're doing a sand ceremony to include them, hold on a sec i'll post the wording we'll use.. ok here is is: Sand Ceremony Minister - TREVOR: There are two children who will share in this marriage. Trevor and Alixzandra will now come forward to help us with the Blending of the Sands. The joining of this new family will have a deep influence upon them. We realize that in order for the home to be a happy one, it is essential that there be love and understanding between the children and the adults being married. For Trevor and Ali the celebration can be more than just witnessing. This is an opportunity for them to bring themselves into the new family and in a symbolic sense to give themselves to this new venture of the marriage of their father. Abbie and Doug, today you are making a life-long commitment to share the rest of your lives with each other and honor Doug’s children as well. Your family relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these individual containers of sand. One representing you, Abbie, and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, one representing you, Doug, and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be and another container for each child. As you each hold your sand, the separate containers of sand represent your lives to this moment; individual and unique. As you now combine your sand together, your lives also join together as one family. You may now blend the sand together symbolizing the uniting of the children and bride and groom into one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will be your marriage and your family. you can do a search for sand ceremony and you'll get lots of other ideas on it as well, if you like it, that is!

my vote: collage! can't wait to see it. altho everything is coming up red x's for me today, even my siggy

dang it, fun idea but the website is under construction!

it's probably cheaper at a dry cleaner anyways
