Well when you say immediate family I hope it's your parents you are accomodating, because IMO them and siblings are the only ones worth accomodating for. I changed my date to a month later after my parents complained it was too close after Christmas... then the new date pissed off my aunt because they are all in BC and it's the exact two weeks of the Vancouver Olympics... there is no pleasing everyone. They have to make the sacrifice for you, not the other way around. And don't get me wrong, I am VERY close with my family, but I just refuse to put my life on hold for other people's plans. I say be more selfish.

I don't think Erica is ever coming back. It'll take her until February just to catch up on all the endless pages of craziness she has missed. Guys, we had our Christmas party last night. I am really hung over.

Woke up with a cold because I am surrounded by diseased people at work. ... and we are in the middle of a massive snow storm so if last year is any indication it's going to take me 3.5 hrs to get home tonight. I am going to need some serious hugs. :

Timberly: LOVE the 'Welcome Letter/Brochure' you created. It's awesome! I did notice some errors though re. the times... YOu might want to dble check that because right now you are telling people to get to the ceremony site at 3:45pm but the wedding is at 14:00. Also you are not toasting until 4pm... etc... you get the drift!

I mean just a normal day in the Moulton household here! lol I had to comment on this!!! HAHA because.... *drumroll please* I DO this. I think the socks are just an extension of what we used to do as children- wipe our hands on our pants. lol Plus my socks are usually black, so if there isn't a napkin around... next best thing! xo

I know how you feel! My FI has been working so much lately. Late Friday... Saturday afternoon, all day Sunday and now he just called saying he'll be late again! I did all the decorating yesterday by myself *not that I would have let him, but I miss him! and I am going home for Christmas on the 19th for ten days so I need some alone time with him like NOW. lol His company is really great and he gets paid overtime and stuff, but I am starting to get pissed off because he hasn't had on day off since April and they keep working him to the bone.

Oooh! kristaheer I love your shoes!! Anyway... re. the OOT bags, I hope no one thinks I am being cheap but I just can't afford that. Even by trying to be on the cheaper side $15-$20 a bag... with 40 people coming! That's $600-$800!! Nope, no way, no how. I'll show everyone my appreciation with a big juicy kiss and hug, LOL

Am I the only one not doing OOT bags? Where did this whole tradition start? I am very confused regarding this...

hey look at that! I am not a junior member anymore.

oh and Susie! LOVED the story!!! haha

Now stop reading this and find the thread and vote. I voted last week! but no one responded to tell me what B2B means? Might I add too that I really resented having to choose bw Shell and Susie.

He actually stormed out of a restaurant this summer when my parents were visiting because my mom was taking too many pictures, LOL Sounds nasty, but we all laughed at it after and my mom's only reaction was '' boy or boy are you ever going to have trouble on your wedding day.'' lol Quote: Originally Posted by FutureMsMoulton Most of the brides haven't liked the free bouquet and have upgraded to the expensive ones-- I know the wedding I attended there the bride did and I thought the expensive one was pretty ugly! Hmmm.... I better start communicating with my WC, as I don't want any surprises, but from what I hear we have more than one 'free' bouquet to chose from. I hope they are nice. I mean... I am paying like $3k + to get married there, the least they can do is offer me a decent bouquet. The BM's bouquets are not included but they are only like $25 I believe. Quote: Originally Posted by futuremrsgoodrich We also start dance lessons this week. We dont know what song for though- thats a whole nother story. What are you guys' first dance songs- do you know yet? My FI and I are planning a joke... *planning being the key word. Now wether we actually go through with it is another story... but one night a couple weeks ago we were just hanging out drinking wine and being silly dancing around (which we do often) and came up with this plan to 'rock the reception' if you will... We are going to start out with this really cheesy drippy love song (Celine Dion), which will make everyone think wtf? and so fitting too since we are from Quebec! HAHA and then after about a minute it will break out into this awesome version of ''I wanna hold your hand'' by the Beatles but sung by Al Green, so it's real funky and soulful and we'll do some groove to that... LOL we'll see. It should get a real laugh anyway and it's totally something that my FI and I do all the time. (dance around silly)... Anyways... better get to work guys!!! And may I 5th or 6th the fact that Vday bride is a total sweetheart to go shopping for Susie like that!

Not a dumb question at all! I have bought a 'bandeau' style bikini for those days before the wedding. I HATE tan lines and think they look so tacky. I don't want to look back on my wedding pictures for years to come and see white straps on my skin, LOL That being said... we can be careful but apart from walking around naked it'll be hard to avoid 100%. Makeup... picture touchups... are always possibilities. I am worried about my FI. He is really white and doesn't tan well, so I am going to be slathering him up with 50 sun block so his face doesn't look like a lobster the day of our wedding. This is the bikini I bought: *too bad I dont look like that in it though... Victoria's Secret has some amazing new bikinis in their 2010 line...

How far in advance did you plan your wedding? Just curious if all these pregnancies came as surprises after planning / booking was done. In any event, like the others said... there is always going to be something preventing someone you love from coming. That's the name of the game with DW's and you have to be able to accept that. I have had dissapointments along the road planning my wedding and the fact is while our guests are genuinely happy to be coming it's not something they think about 24/7 like us. For most, I really think it is just a good excuse for a vacation. Try to think about how darn excited they must be starting a family, or adding on to an existing family. Be happy for you and be happy for them. I don't think any of us really has the right to be upset that someone got pregnant. I can't wait to get pregnant and I am certainly not going to be thinking about other peoples plans/schedules when the time is right for my FH and I.

I'm still waiting for my WC to contact me... I guess I was expecting an email exactly 3 months before, but still no word... See, that's what I would be afraid of! but not from other people, but from myself, lol *I am strange... Anyways, I looked into it today to see if I could save us money by getting married here first, and it still costs $300 so I am just going to stick with the plan. It's funny... I think I am the only bride who doesn't like hearing from my WC. haha She emailed me in early August with all the registration stuff for the legal side of things. It took me 2 months to email her back! Then she emailed me early November (a couple weeks after my reply) with more spreadsheets to fill out re. flowers, food etc... and it took me 3 weeks to email her back. I don't know. I kind of want to just deal with it all the day we meet in Mexico. I hate all this emailing back and forth. I suppose it stresses me out. Maybe I am in denial that I am getting married!

Agreed! Thanks shell... I actually spke to the bride who bought them and she is of the same mind set- why run around down there when you can be drinking margaritas poolside? lol I'll check out ebay. If no luck I'll order through them.

I guess everyone slept the day away from staying up too late last night.... I am lonely!!! I've had to actually work at work today.

What can I say that others haven't already so eloquently said? Big cyber hugs to you. I think the most important thing to focus on at this time is that your dad is somewhere safe, where he can get better so he can share many more important moments with you in the future. Because there will be many more moments. I know a wedding is a big deal between a daughter and father, but there are other ways you can share this moment later. Have someone videotape the day and when you get back, have a special dinner with your dad and you guys can watch the tape and have your dance then. (((hugs)))) Try to be happy!

You crazy night owls! Is anyone awake? lol Seems like I am the only one actually getting married on my wedding day. jK We thought about doing the legal stuff beforehand, but weren't comfortable with it. Who all knows? Does any of your family know? It's probably the smartest way. I am not looking forward to that Mexican needle, LOL

Awesome! btw- the maracas... you ordered them through Amol's Specialty? How is the quality? I am thinking of ordering through there because I don't want to be running around last minute while in Mexico (I need them for the reception). Also, I need like 40... do you think those would fit in a small carry on suitcase? Can you take a picture of them? Please please pleeeease!!!
