The 30 does include the bridal party. I will have to take this into condsideration. I really only need 24. Thanks for the reminder. Thanks for everyone's opinion. It was a great help. I think I'm going to get the chairs. I found some real inexpensive ones $1.45 each. Now I have to get chair ties!
That is such a hard decision to make. First I would find out if the airfare that was purchased is refundable. If so, do what feels right. If not, maybe you could have a legal ceremony with your parents attending and still have the DW wedding with those that have already purchased tickets. Just a thought. If the cost is getting outrageous for both of you, you may need to make some hard decisions.
Ok, this may be stupid but I have a chair dilemma. We are getting married in the Gazebo by the pool of our timeshare resort in Pompano Beach, Florida. My Wedding planner says the entire ceremony will last only 15 minutes. Do you think I should rent chairs for this amount of time or should I pile everyone in my FFIL's lap in his wheelchair? LOL just kidding.
I just don't know whether to "borrow" some pool chairs but what if there are not any available? I am only having around 30 people. Do you think this is tacky?
I may have you beat. We have "dated" 24 years! Ok, I know it is extreme. It was an on again off again, on again off again,........thing. So, we waited until the kids moved out, then we decided to get married. Man I'm old. LOL
I heard about this earlier from my daughter and I was shocked. At my age I have less time in front of me than I have behind me and I thank God for every moment I can spend with my friends and family. I am only two years younger than him and it definately hits home.
Well, I went to get my dress today and of course it was a mess. The lady was very upset about it and wanted me to leave it with her another week so she could remove the chiffon and replace it. I was at my wits end and told her to just refund the money for the alterations and return the dress. I was not going to wait another week just to see that she didn't do it correctly. It is a mess. The good news is I happened to find this little Christian book store that sells wedding dresses! Why, I don't know but I found another perfect dress that looks even better on me! It also is not as heavy and I won't be so hot in it. It was only $100.00!!!! The length is perfect but I have to have the hips let out a little because of my fat a**. I don't know what I'm going to do with the other dress. I think I will take it to a consignment shop and see if it sells.
So this is dress number 2.
