I was originally thinking my sisters but I dont know how the 3 of us would even fit down the aisle, It might look to funny when we have to turn sideways to actually get down the aisle part of it lol.

If you really don't want to walk alone I think your sisters is a nice idea, I think you will totally fit down the isle, I've seen your pic LOL. Lots of people walk with both parents, and it looks nice. Another idea is why don't you get your fi to walk half way up the isle to meet you as you are coming down, it could be really romantic.

I want to do something, I have a necklace of his I want to incorporate into my bouquet. I may also have a poem or something on the program, but I don't want to make everyone too sad. It's still so recent that I'm afraid of upsetting others (or myself!) on my wedding day.

I voted with the majority for walking down alone over walking down together. I am going to be walking down with my parents, with FI at the gazebo waiting BUT we are going to see each other before the ceremony for pictures and ketubah signing (its a jewish "wedding contract" that you have to sign before the vows)...

 

At first, I was kind of bumbed out because I personally LOVED the idea of seeing FI for the first time at the alter. Now that I am used to the idea though, I think it will also be special to have a private moment before all the craziness begins.

 

Even if you decide to see each other ahead of time, I still think it's going to be really special for him to see you walking towards him down the aisle.

I voted to walk alone...I love the idea of FH watching me walk down the isle, it's so romantic!

I'll be having my dad walk with me down the isle.

Hey, thats a great idea I could walk the long part towards the aisle alone and than have Ryan meet me at the actual aisle. HMMMMM I think you may have fixed my problem. I'll take a look at the actual walk way and aisle on our site visit and see if that would work.


Thanks ladies, youve been very helpful

Jackie hows the rest of your planning going? And did you ever post a picture of your ring?

[Jackie]

No I didnt, I tried taking a picture but it just did not look nice at all. Its pretty simple platinum basnd with 1.2 carrot brilliant center stone and 40 itty bitty diamonds sourounding it. Kind of antiquey. The rest of my planning is great. All I really have left to do is pick the bouquet and than start gathering stuff for OOT bags, decorations, and center pieces etc etc.

 

Photographer, DJ, Hair & Makeup, and Location are all booked. And we are going to stick to the buffet dinner so I really dont even need to worry about food either, I'm just going to have Marianna decide what she thinks is best. I love this no stress DW stuff. Shoot I suppose I still need a dress though. I bet I will start getting stressed when I try to become a mini Martha Stewart, I'm just not very talanted when it comes to that stuff.

[TammyB]

When are you going to start looking for dresses?

[Jackie]

When I drop 5 pounds which reminds me I need to get my ass to the gym lol. No seriously probably right after our Site visit in September. Thats still 8 months out from our wedding date so I should have enough time right? I'm looking for a kind of simple bohemian flowy strapless dress nothing to to fancy so I hope it wont be hard to find.

 

I ordered a couple of babydoll camis from VS yesturday for my bodouir session with Juan, I'm really excited but completely nervous.

[TammyB]

OMG your doing a "B session" with Juan OMG are you his first?

 

When I ordered my dress they told me it would take 6 months to come in, it ended up taking 4, so you "should" be ok. But I say it's never too early to look, just wait to order..
