I haven't done it yet, I'm waiting till like a month before to order his, because there is no telling what size he'll be in 7mths.

I would feel hurt even deceived and cheated, because the money was given to both of you for the sole purpose of the wedding. So, first I would feel mad that I am going to be his wife, his parter in life, and he didn't feel it was vital to tell me about the debt. The last thing you want to do is get blindsided by a $5000 debt, which is by no means a small amount. Then, it's another thing to use money meant for the both of you, but to not tell you about it as well as use the money for this unknown debt, not a $200 phone bill... $5000! I mean, I would be livid, and it is something I wouldn't take lightly at all. I've been married for over 6 years, on here for my vow renewal, and I don't care how bad it is, I rather my husband be open with me than try to "protect" me. Whatever it is, no matter how bad, we can work through it, but we can't work through it if you don't tell me.

Love 'em!! Starbucks

My biggest stressor is my mom. ** BE PREPARED FOR LONG RANT ** 1) She calls my younger brother, who stays with me, and goes on and on about how it's a recession and no one can afford to come to the Bahamas, and that NO one on her side of the family is coming, and that I should just have it in Baton Rouge, LA. Which is strange, because my uncle, her younger brother, is already making plans to go. My grandmother bought a $1400 stove last month... yes just the stove was $1400. Then she takes it one step further just to be spiteful and says that no one is going to come to my wedding including the bridal party. She doesn't even know who is in the bridal party. My brother tells her that the bridal party is staying with us in the beach house and has already paid their deposit, and then she is once again speechless. Then he tells her that my aunt, my dad's sister, is coming, and when she finds out she's coming, then she says she might come but she has to check her finances. She can come because my aunt is coming, but she can't come because I AM HER ONLY DAUGHTER. Just LAST month, she was going car shopping for a new car, because her MERCEDES was acting up, and she has TWO other vehicles that she barely drives. My younger brother has been with me since July, so she hasn't had to pay his $400 rent and give him money for food. Then, she asks about my husband's side of the family, and my brother, I don't know why, told her that we were paying for my FIL to come and he's staying a week in the Bahamas in the Beach House with us and watching my son. He's 66, retired, and doesn't care, he's just happy to go to the Bahamas and spending time with his grandson is a BONUS. My FIL raised my husband by himself so of course my husband is going to make sure his dad is there. Then she was like, maybe if she paid for me, I would come...now she's jealous. My FIL lives on Social Security and in no way could afford to come on his own, plus he is the Best Man. My mom is a software engineer and gets paid more than I do. She has failed to realize that I could care LESS if she came, and would rather prefer if she didn't, because I don't need her negativity and selfishness. She can either continue to b***h and get uninvited or just save her money, come to the Bahamas, and shut it up!

never ends - permanent

I only wear ankle socks when I run, other than that.. TUBE!! Cable or Satellite TV

That's Great! I hope that when I have a daughter , I can do the same for her. Your Mom is awesome!

My son will be a year and a half. I plan to have him walk down the aisle with the Best Man (my FIL) and the maid of Honor (my friend from grade school) holding his hands. My FIL will just hold the rings.

My son turns one on Dec. 4!!

Okay, thanks ladies! I was wondering if I really needed one, but I wanted to see what others were using it for since I saw so many others buying one.

I'm curious as to why or when you would need a wedding purse?

My husband's suit came in today, and I can't believe the quality of the suit and it only costs $99, well $124 if you include the suit, shipping, and the satin in the pants that goes down to the knees, and it only took TWO WEEKS from when I placed the order to the front door. It fits perfectly except for it's a little fitted in the waist, but I guess that is just due to his personal preference. Other than that, we will definitely be ordering the groomsmen suits from Studiosuits.com. He said that definitely wants to order a lighter linen suit just to have. finleys7, I know you mentioned that you were concerned with the quality of the swatch and your FI's linen suit, but the actual suit is different and probably more of what you expect in a linen suit. I'm so excited! Now, I have to get 3 groomsmen, in 3 different states, to send me their measurements.

where is that, anyway?: "Dude, where's my car!" ..lol (Kentwood is in Louisiana close to the Mississippi border)
