That's so cute! And **great** engagement date!! ;-)

HA! Those are great, Erin!

Awesome! You guys found our favorite tree branch. lol

Okay, we all love oohing and ahhing over each other's beautiful wedding photos but what about those pics that won't make it to the wedding album?? Ladies, post your favorite/funniest outtake photo! Here are mine: I have no idea what was going on here with my mom and my niece And DH was caught on camera scratching my mosquito bite for me (he's such a good man... lol)

Happy Anniversary!!

Quote: Originally Posted by Tlseege Oh I want to have a baby too... like, right now would be nice! LOL But seriously, there really isn't ever a "right" time. My husband and I have been married just over a year and we had said we would wait a year to start trying. YEAH... that didn't happen! LOL. I got the itch too. And then I also have "issues" and we were told it'd be very hard to get pregnant or to maintain a pregnancy. Well, first month we started trying was October... do the math... and TA DA! So, what I would do is start saving. Put away a certain amount every month. Perhaps go to the store and calculate how much diapers and formula will cost. Then add on some extra for child care and start saving that now. See if you can do it. If you can, then it should help your fiance's fears ease away, and you can try for a honeymoon baby! Plus, you'll have built up a nice little nest egg that will be awesome for decorating your nursery! Trisha- I didn't realize you were so close! Congrats on the baby who will be here soon! And we're hoping to take at least a year before we start trying. On my side of the family, there are 3 grandchildren so no pressure from my parents, but on his side, there are no little ones at all so I know his mom is gonna start asking pretty soon.... (Plus we're both in our 30s)

We used Michael's for the parents' corsages and bouts and they were beautiful! Wish I would've just gotten hubby's there too.

Found one!!! Picaboo offers a flush-mount album for DIY'ers! Picaboo - Photo Books - Flush Mount http://www.cameratown.com/news/news.cfm?id=7363

This is a really nice layout-- thanks for the inspiration!

Congratulations Debra-- can't wait for your pictures!!!!

My oldest friend didn't come to my wedding either. She said from day one that she would be there no matter what... she even RSVP'd... but then she waited too long to book her tickets (I thought she had already booked!)... by the time she was ready to book, the wedding was 2 weeks away and airfare had skyrocketed. I was sad about it but like everybody else has said, there were some friends I didn't expect to go through the "trouble" of coming to our DW who were first in line to book! In the end, everybody who is really supposed to be with you on your day will be there.

Congratulations MarieSam! You looked gorgeous, like we all knew you would!!

My father was aware of us wanting to get married and I didn't want FI to ask for permission per say but to just have a conversation with him about it because of the relationship I have with him and I agree it's the respectful thing to do. So one more thing off the list with a million more to go, LOL! Thank you all for the advice and input, happy planning/living to you all! Congratulations!

Thank you!

Congratulations! I'm so happy to hear that you had a great Grand Palladium wedding too!! Your pictures are beautiful!

My DH took my dad out for a burger and a beer and "asked" for my hand. I thought it was very sweet. They already know each other and get along well, so it wasn't much of a stretch for him to do it.
