The time is drawing VERY close and I still can't decide on a song(s) to walk down the aisle to. I'm looking for something along the lines of R&B, but I'm open to suggestions on all types of genres. I really like Chrisette Michelle's song "Golden" and Shania Twain's "From this Moment", but I'm not set on those just yet. We have our "first dance" song, now it's just the bridal procession and my walk down the aisle that I'm stuck on. I'm no "here comes the bride" type chick...that seems so boring to me. Any suggestions?

OMG! Beautiful! I wish I had seen this before I bought mine from Icing, even though I only paid $12 for both, but I will try and see if I can make them for my MOH

Not being judgemental at all. I'm reiterating a FACT that the bride herself mentioned about her sister being upset. And the fact is, her sister is the better choice. She asked for an opinion and I gave it to her. I am being very sensitive to her situation and trying to show her that wedding planning has it's darksides as well. It's not all cookie cutter all the time. And second, if I wasn't supporting her then I wouldn't have responded to her post. deedeelala I hope your wedding planning is coming along and you have worked out your MOH issues. If you in any way feel upset about my post then I apologize. Take it one day at a time and remember BREATHE! Everybody is going to have their opinions and something to say -- but at the end of the day all that matters is wht you want and what you think. Look at the bigger picture -- you are marrying the person of your dreams and nothing else really matters.

It sounds to me like the "friendship" is pretty much done. I don't think this girl wants to be your friend. Take it from me, you do not need ANYBODY in your wedding party bringing you down or making you miserable. The planning of your wedding (although it can become tedious and stressful) should be filled with nothing but positivity that will lead to fun and crazy memories. A crabby MOH, bridesmaid can make that experience heart-wrenching and bitter. My advice to you is walk away from the idea of having her as your MOH, otherwise your wedding planning memories will be marred by this one person who you are not really close with. Your wedding party should consist of the people who are closet to you, who you share your most private thoughts with. Who did you first call to tell you were engaged? (besides your parents) I'm guessing it was one of your sisters (or another member of your wedding party). That is who should of been your MOH. First off – sisters trump everybody! Your sister has every right to be upset, it's your sister for goodness sake and you passed her up for a girl you barely speak too. I don't mean to sound harsh but family should of been your first thought for MOH. This "friend" of yours does not sound interested in your special day or anything involving you for that matter. I would seriously think hard about pulling her out of the wedding party all together. I don't think the friendship can be saved. If you do decided to keep her in as a MOH or bridesmaid you run the risk of her possibly sabotaging your wedding by being difficult to deal with (which she has already proven) or pulling out at the last minute or not showing up at all. When planning a wedding take it from me, you will need all the support you can get and an un-supportive member of a wedding party can put a damper on the experience. Ditch the bitch. Tell her you have decided to go with your sisters as MOH (yes, pick both sisters to be your MOH), because it is only right -- after all you have known them all your life -- her you've only known for 5 years. Tell her since she is soooo busy with school, this will take off some of the pressure a MOH brings. Tell her she is welcome to be a bridesmaid, but I suspect the cop out you gave her about her being in school will give her a "light bulb" moment and she will use that same excuse as an excuse to not be in the wedding at all. She will however offer to be a guest at the wedding (which she will conveniently not show up for and if she does show up it will be out of sheer jealousy and curiosity and she will be gone before cocktail hour) freeing you of dealing with this MOH-therfucker!

I have a large wedding party as well (8 just like you) What I did was/is I bought/am buying each of my bridesmaids different gifts in terms of things they love/like. For example, one bridesmaid is obsessed with her appearance, so I got her a little cosmetic kit from MAC with lipstick, lipgloss, and a few (3) makeup brushes which cost me $48 (I got this on a special promotion MAC was having). I made sure I got colors I know she likes, then I bought some nail polishes (6 to be exact) from Walmart ($8) and those body sprays from Victoria's Secret I got 3 for $15. Another Bridesmaid is obsessed with the Disney character Pooh Bear, so I got her a medium-sized plush Pooh that talks and can be customized to say her name when it talks. I also got her some Pooh Bear pajamas and a Pooh Bear Mug. All of this set me back $50 One Bridesmaid loves wine so I made her some wine with ccoupon I got off of Groupon for wine-making (four bottle package). I made her three-bottles of custom made-wine (I kept one for myself --- as a perk -- tee hee -- and it tasted pretty good!) with her favourite flavours and a personal wine label thanking her for her support and named after her. Her name is Caroline, so I called it Sweet Caroline. This cost me $30 and they look like $100 bottles of wine. i know she will go crazy for this Another is very in touch with her sexuality and loves kinky stuff, so I went to the sex shop and made her a little sex kit basket with ediable panties ($14), sensual oils, 3 for $20, and playing dice and cards ($12 in total) and a bullet (tiny vibrator) ($10) Total $56 Another bridesmaids is on the verge of obtaining her Masters degree. She is in her final year, so I went to KeyMan Engravables and had a beautiful pen-set complete with one black pen, one blue pen, one mechanical pencil and writing pad personalized with her name and title she will obtain when she graduates (let's hope she graduates). The set cost $35 and the engraving cost me $16 The last three bridesmaids I am figuring out because they are the ones who seem to like everything, but I'm sure I will figure it out. So far I've put up about $260. and i anticipate I wont go over $500, which is a score for me. I even think i can do it for under $400. I know it is stressful worrying about all of this and I know buying individual gifts will take some extra time, but it really wasn't that bad and I had fun doing it. And considering these girls are willing to travel to the DR for me and they have been putting up with my wedding planning for over a year (which by the way is plenty of time for me to get them some unique gifts) I thought I would put a lot of effort into getting them special gifts, rather than the same generic ones, to show how thankful and appreciative I am for having them in my life and for them supporting me on one of the most important and special days of my life. With a lot of luck, patience and the right bargin hunting skills you will be surprised at the gifts you come up with. And I must say all the gifts I have chosen for my bridal party thus far, is very emmaculate and looks great. I have no doubt they will each love what I have chosen for them. Good luck with everything. I know you will figure it out eventually.
