Everything looks great.

Hey Ladies: It has been a while since I have posted anything on the forum but I hope that everyone has been wonderful and that all plans are going well. We are now five weeks out and tying things up. I will be back in a few weeks to put up my planning thread. I cannot forget all the help, support and love that I got from the forum last year when I was first engaged, and starting the planning process. So this is just a heads up that I will be doing my share and posting my planning thread in the near but not to distant future. AishaB

Your monograms are really pretty. Such a good job you did. Nice way to give back to the forum!

Imforhim04 I sent you a PM. But I used photoshop. It is pretty simple and there are many free tutorials online that tell you how to do it. I am just learning how to use Photoshop, but I followed the tutorial and it was super simple.

Diva: First let me say that there is actually an old thread about LDRs somewhere out there that has some really good comments in there that has also helped me along my experience. With that said, let me say I totally understand about what you are going through. My FI and I have been doing the LRD since the beginning of our relationship until this present time. We usually see each other once a month when he comes to town for his National Guard duty. Other than that we talk on the phone every night and try to keep the communication lines open. Being in an LDR is very difficult and has to totally rely on your trust for one another. But on the other hand it gives you both the opportunity to talk more than if you were continually together. I honestly cannot wait until it is over and we are still in the same place at the same time. However, like you soon after our marriage we will be LD from each other. He is getting deployed about four or five months after our wedding and will be a year in Afghanistan. It is frustrating, scary and harrowing all at the same time. All I can tell you is what I have been telling myself, "pray and God will take care of the rest." If you love this person, trust them, know that you can survive whatever life throws your way, then you will make it. Continue to have faith in your love and each other and I know the both of you will make it through the time apart beautifully. Though there maybe tough times, and you maybe missing him like crazy sometimes, you guys will make it through. Have courage my friend, it will all be okay.

Great job. Love your invites. They look wonderful!

Thanks much appreciated.

Krystyn we chose the same style website on weddingwire. I love it!

Hi Ladies: I'm in New Jersey, this is great! Very good idea!

I agree, weddingwire.com is the way to go. I have set up pretty much everything on the website - RSVP, meals, registry. it has a guest list manager, that also allows you to do your table seating. It is just great, and has made my life a lot easier. It even figures out how many invites you need, keeps track of the RSVP's etc. definitely check it out. Aisha

Everything looked beautiful. Congratulations

Thanks ladies. I forgot to mention before, that Rebecca is so wonderful. If you want something personalized, she is the one to do it. I told her that the first present that my FH ever gave me were army Id tags because he is in the military and I had always wanted a pair. If you look very closely you will see that Rebecca incorporated the id tags into our monogram. Although no one else will know, we know and it just means that much more to us. Such a special touch.

Thanks ladies, really appreciate it!

Your welcome Mrs J, I hope it helps. Your wedding day is right around the corner, I hope everything is wonderful and you are al ready to go! Good luck

I don't know the exact name but I think it is called the portable. I will look it up.... Okay, I found it. Here is the link to the three different types that they have. I have used the portable and it works great! It is VERY loud. http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/sounddock_systems/index.jsp Hope this helps.
