The most important thing to remember is it is your day! You need to do what you and your FI want....a lot of people couldn't believe we were doing a TTD....if it's what you guys want the DO IT!!! After the wedding is all said and done nobody will have anything to say and you will just feel disappointed if you didn't do something that you wanted to do

OMG that really sucks about your cousin but the thing with your sister is totally ridiculous Why would she even think to do that?? She is probably feeling jealous that her younger sister is getting married...i really hope she doesn't go through with that date...big hugs to you

great idea...would love to see a pic of it

love it...so unique!!!

Hey all I can join this thread now!! We got married in July and since then we moved and I got a new job so I've been super busy! And I know what you mean about the name change...it's such a pain in the butt!!!

At least EVERYTHING was different, just not his lack of being there. Anyway you can do that? Have a Christmas at another relatives house/city/country I was thinking it might be nice to go away for christmas and new years this year...just me and DH especially since my dad died on new years eve so that will be another hard time....new years used to be my favorite holiday...now it has a totally different meaning.....but i don't know how my mom and sis would feel about me being away

i'm going shopping: clothes

such a cute story...love the poem!

welcome to the forum!

That is such a great deal for the bag AND the towel...so cute!

Wow ...I love Christmas but it's still summer...plus I think Christmas will be sad for me this year...it will be the first Christmas since my dad died

Congrats!!! How exciting!!!
