  1. Zelda, that sucks. But I agree with MVP do you really have to ask someone else? Are you only having one person each? If so make your HTB's Best Man the collective one. Or more than one? If you are having a bridal party just continue to have one, she was the one you wanted to be your MOH and even though she backed out you shouldn't feel the stress of having to promote someone else. You asked all of them because they matter to you and you matter to them. The title shouldn't matter My FI and I are trying to decide right now if we are going to have anyone stand up with us. We don't want anyone to feel obligated like the "have" to go.. Even his dad we know didn't have fun at my FSIL DW and I do not want to see that face in my pix so we are prepared to tell him we don't want him to go if it is just to make us happy. It really won't make us happy to see him not having fun.
  2. So bummed my Target didn't have these in the travel section, guess I'll just have to check out all the other ones in the area
  3. We haven't actually paid for anything truly but when I kept talking to myself about this, and doubting my choice I had to remember that I am including my honeymoon expenses in my wedding expenses so I am not spending the same amount, I'm getting more for my $$

  7. I want to do something with postcards too, but i haven't quite figured it out yet. I am thinking about sending post cards to each guest while we are there thanking them again for wanting to be a part of our wedding. I would also want to be able to get post cards from them too...maybe I'll just have to do both.
  8. I actually do not know if I will be registering for gifts, but I would feel awkward because we melted our lives together and have pretty much everything we would need or want at this point. However, I know people may want to do something for us, but I am going to ask you guys your opinions on what I would want to do. In June of 2010, 2 of our best friends lost their daughter to a catastrophic form of epilepsy that hits children and is very hard to diagnose. Only 1 Doctor really is able to diagnose it and they had just met with her the week before Maddie passed. I would love to be able to ask that people donate money to the foundation to help find a cure for this because that would mean more to us than any gift? Would that be wrong?

  10. It is supposed to be one of the least rainy months which is why I picked it to get married in. However during their "rain" season it still is quick showers and then the sun comes out.
  11. okay this is an old post but i don't care, Italian Job is one of my all time favorite remakes.
  12. Tom and I met on eharmony, yes it worked for us Our first meet was August 17, 2005 and our first date was the 19th black light mini golf. Where we got the exact same score. Meant to be right? Fast forward 64 months, December 17, 2010, and yes we do celebrate our "month"iversary every month. We goofy that way. He picked me up at work to go to dinner with 17 long stem red roses, should have been the "duh" moment but he does that stuff for me all the time so I didn't really think anything of it. We pull into the restaurant and he says hey do you want to go play miniature golf and I was like sure. The mini golf place was behind the restaurant. Only 1 problem the place is closed. Locked up nobody home. FI was so upset about this, and I didn't understand why until later. He had to come up with a plan B on the fly. I take pictures of everything and our dinner reservations were at the Melting Pot for Fondue. i never had fondue before so I was taking random pictures, and they had made us a yin/yang chocolate fondue for dinner which looked like a yin/yang sign. So there i was taking pictures of that and he tells me there is one thing that i haven't taken a picture of tonight and he pulls out the ring box. I don't remember what all was said but I know he asked me to marry him. But the sweetest part is that on my childhood dresser I had put a sticker that says "A BIG EVENT" on it. Tom always teases me about what was so big that I put a sticker on my dresser and for honesty purposes I am a girl and I had stickers so I stuck it there, but since he teased me about it relentlessly I told him that when he proposed to me it would be "A BIG EVENT" and he was no longer allowed to bring up that sticker until he did propose. If he did I was allowed to punch him in the arm as hard as I could. After he put the ring on my finger he flipped the box over and there it was the same sticker that I had stuck on my dresser however long ago, marking our engagement as "A BIG EVENT" forever. His original plan was to propose to me on the 17th green of miniature golf since the 17th is our anniversary etc etc etc...I have to say I love plan B, but I love that he practiced getting down on one knee to do plan A right.
  13. You are definitely not alone, I think in some way we've all felt like this at some point during our planning process. My SIL told me that there was no way in hell they would be able to afford it not with 2 adults and 4 kids, and while I understand that I also thought to myself they spent 5k on a vacation 2 years in a row they could definitely afford to go especially giving them 16 months. So I cried and cried and then I realized that yes I want them there but not enough to change my dreams. But there are moments when I do email FI and ask him what if no body ends up going? It makes me feel unloved and it hasn't even happened yet, so I can only imagine how you are feeling. But you have us and an amazing wedding coming up. Take the $ you were going to use to pay for all of their stuff and blow it on yourselves and the people who are going to be spending this amazing time with you.
  14. Congrats on getting all that taken care of I am so glad that you are able to breathe a bit easier now
