[deecol]

Thank you @@vancouverpetunia! I'm so excited for youuu!! So close!

 

Opps, forgot to remove my best friend's jerk ex-fiancé. We are at 50 people (including Col, I and the two kiddies attending).

And I forgot to comment on what a jerk-face your best friend's ex-fiance is. Jerk-face. Seriously. What is wrong with people?!? Who does that?

[calgarybride2015]

I agree ... And jerk face is an understatement. Please tell me this 'girl' dumped his a$$. This happened to my friend - not before their wedding but she was pregnant with their 3rd child. Douche city ladies!! Omg I feel so bad for her. Like wtf??

 

Everything is coming along great and love the items you posted. Those sandals are perfect and you can wear them later.

 

Sorry did you say you may not have a guestbook at all?

@@deecol Sorry about what happened to your friend and that it is distracting from your wedding planning. I absolutely love the heart vases!! Your sandals are cute, mine are pretty similar.

[ashhtayy]

I'm disgusted by your best friends ex. What a pig! Lets leave that at that and focus on YOUR wedding. Here you can talk about your wedding as much as you'd like and don't have to worry about upsetting your best friend because she hopefully won't see it This is your safe space!

 

Ps. My heart breaks for her.

 

Can't wait to see all your in progress projects!

 

Please share your grooms gift when you think of one. I want to do something special too but I have no idea either. I would love to gift something he could use day off...like a watch...but Mike never wears the ones he has. Would Col wear a chain or a watch?

 

The heart shaped vases are adorable and go with your table numbers well. Amazing the Col started the work on them too Florals look great! Yay for Michaels and their coupons. 50% off one item this week if you need anything else.

 

Your sandals are great. I think you're smart wearing flats. So comfortable! Are you wear them for both ceremony and reception?

 

Look at you go! Everything looks great.

Revamping the certificate to allow your witnesses to sign as well is a great idea - do you have a copy of the certificate by chance? I'd like to do the same for mine! Just have no idea what it even looks like!

 

Even for symbolics they get you to sign a symbolic certificate that said, they revamped mine so my witnesses could sign (ie not look symbolic) and it was super quick. But my ceremony wasn't legal so more may be entailed ie - the finger printing on the document. I think 1 is probably safe but pick 2 to cover your bases. I'm sure the WC could tell you as well!!!

@@amanda88 we're having a legal ceremony so unfortunately I don't have a "certificate" for the symbolic ceremony, as I imagine we will all be signing a real one (I hope! Lol)

I'm sure one of the ladies on here has one! This site has everything!

The list is dwindling a bit! Looks like you've been chipping away which is amazing considering all of the things that you've been facing lately with your bestie. These next few weeks will definitely be a bit crazy, but it will all be worth it.

Really loving those little premade floral bunches from Michaels! What a great find!! Super cute in the vases with the table numbers. 

Everything is going to look fantastic Can't wait to see it all together. I do agree about the photography.. $350USD is SO expensive and just to add 20 more photos? definitely crazy. You will have so many nice photos from your special day and not to mention all of your guest photos as well. You will have tons of memories to look back on.

@vancouverpetunia @@calgarybride2015 @@cruisebride2016 @@ashhtayy I know - what a super jerk, my heart breaks for her.

 

@@calgarybride2015 Thank you exactly what I was thinking about the sandals, they are cute enough and will be hidden under my big dress anyway.  You read it correctly, we aren't doing a guestbook, I can't imagine what I would do with a book after everyone signs it, I would never open it again.  And I know there are so many cute ideas that don't have to be a book, some of the girls on here have done amazing things, we just both agreed we don't need one.  Like I said though, if something comes along that blows my mind and I can't stop thinking about, I could go back on my decision.

 

@@cruisebride2016 Thanks!!! I love the vases too!  And am so happy they go so well with my table numbers!  Great call on the sandals - great minds 

 

@@ashhtayy Thank you for saying that - I feel so guilty about being so excited and still doing all this planning while she is so devastated... I will just have to continue not speaking about it and supporting her, but planning at the same time.

I will def share anything I think of for a Groom's gift, please do the same for me!  I bought Col a watch for Christmas a couple years ago that he only wears when he dresses up.  I did today think of if the guys are playing golf the morning of the wedding day that I could pay for him in secret and give his best man a golf ball from me and write a little message or something, I messaged his best man to see if they are planning that at all.

Oh trust me, I was all over that Michael's sale - I took 2 of my coworkers on our lunch and we bought 3 of the vases at 50% off lol.  I'm so happy the hearts go with the tables numbers, I didn't even think of it because I didn't think I would find vases like that!

I am planning to only wear sandals for the reception, the ceremony is on the beach and I'm planning to go barefoot with the foot jewellery my Mom ordered for me.

I'm pushing through!  i want to get through my list and to a point where I have nothing to do and can relax but I highly doubt that will happen! LOL

 

@ Thank you!!! You have been so supportive these past few weeks and thank you so much for lending your ear!  Aren't those bunches just perfect?  The coral flower is a bit more orange than I wanted but when it's all together I love how it looks, and we have all different shades of pink/coral so it all works out.  Thank you for agreeing about the photography, I didn't want to sound like I was skimping out my wedding day photos, but I couldn't justify it.

 

46 DAYS!  and 39 days until we're in Mexico!!!!

 

Col JUST messaged me and said his Mom agrees to have a dance!  I was hoping she would!  She can be a bit shy so he wasn't sure if she would want to - looks like we need to find another song!
