April 2011 Brides

[Ellabaja1983]

Laura, I'm sorry to hear about the stuff your FIL pulled.  It's so terrible when people can't put their feelings aside when they don't match those that the party is actually for.  I'm glad your friends played your music through dinner at least... 

 

Just think, it's over...and you have a weekend away to just relax AND you did make some good money out of it by the sounds of it!  I know that doesn't take away what the in-laws did, but...  it's over and now they are the ones who have to deal with whatever way you choose to move forward!  If you don't talk to them for a few months...  maybe that will get YOUR point across.

So Erin, how have you been feeling lately? Have you told anyone?

Mocha!! I just realized that I never replied to this!  I make them up to a day in advance.  They can be stored in the fridge.  The recipe is this:  For each large Hershey's chocoalt bar (the big ones in the candy sections), you will need one tablespoon of Crisco.  Break up the individual rectangles of chocolate and put them in the microwave with the Crisco.  Stir it every 30 seconds until fully melted.  So.  Good.  I also roll my strawberries after they're coated in the chocolate in coconut and/or crushed nuts for added fun.  These are a huge hit when I make them for showers and parties.  I hope you enjoy

Thanks for the suggestion. I would love the recipe. How far ahead can I make them?

Thanks for the recipe! With only three weeks left, I better get cracking on my AHR DIY list!

Hey April Ladies!

Sorry I've been MIA for a while! Laura I'm sorry to hear about your FIL going behind your back like that. Not fair at all. I just hope that whatever you choose to do with that money brings you happiness that will out last the bitterness towards your inlaws!!

 

I need some advice from you girls. I just don't know what to do. My photog for the day of the wedding has been a complete dissapointment so far. It is now well over the two month limit outlined in our contract as the time in which we will get our photos. Originally I had asked him to have our photos ready for our AHR which obviously didn't happen. I just heard from a bride on another forum that he actually took 4 months to get her her photos, and she says he hardly edited any of them, just rushed through the whole thing!! So now I'm panicing. I am not willing to wait 4 months for our pics, but I'm afraid to rush him in case he just doesn't edit them!! This is such a nightmare.

 

I was thinking that maybe I would write a review of him on here as 3 stars and put in there that I can't finish the review unitl I get my photos and that hopefully when I recieve our beautiful, well edited photos I will upgrade the rating. I know he checks this forum so I can  keep it positive but let him know that I will be going public with my experience so he get me my pics fast and they better look good. Thoughts??? WHAT DO I DOOOOO????

 I'm doing better than I was...  Last week was kind of rough, but I worked long hours every day.  I had gotten sick a few different times last week, but I figured out that my prenatal vitamins were causing it, so on Sunday I started taking them at night and that has made a HUGE difference!

 

We have told our closest friends and my parents...  Last I knew DH hadn't told his boys, but he may have by now...  DH is starting to get quotes from contractors because we need to do an addition on the house...  so that's exciting too!

I miss all you ladies too. I know some of us became facebook friends, but that's no excuse. If I haven't added you, send me your email in a PM. I would hate to lose complete contact with everyone.

 

I can't believe how quickly time flies. We had our AHR over the weekend and I am so sad that all the wedding stuff has to go away now. We got our pro album, but are waiting on the prints so we can send out our thank you cards.

 

Meggers, I hope you get your photos soon.

 

Teira, I'm already telling DH that we are having a vow renewal after 10 years so I can finally find my dream dress! And also trying to convince him that we should go on a honeymoon.

Meggers, I cant believe no photos yet!!!!! I would be going crazy!

 

We should all friend eachother on facebook, to keep up and keep in contact!
