We're getting married in July! He wanted to marry this summer, which is sooner than I originally thought, but that's fine with me, so we decided on July 12th. Sounds soon to most people, but it is actually within our ideal length of engagement (4-6 months) with it being nearly 4 months to the day he proposed! [:D]



Mrs.Above_All -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (3/31/2008 2:19:41 AM)

Yay!

Ok instead of favors, I think I may do a candy buffet. I'll have either favor boxes or bags and then the guests just go up to the buffet and fill them. [:)] I may do a variety of things rather than just all candy. What do you think?



fluffmonkey -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (3/31/2008 11:58:14 AM)

I was actually thinking about doing that myself Trish, I seen these cute little Jars that you could fill with w.e. candy you wanted, I thought it would be great idea that way people could choose candy they like instead a box filled with chocolate or something lol




Mrs.Above_All -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (3/31/2008 4:59:15 PM)

Candy Buffet

Or the other idea I have is purse hangers for the ladies and candy for the men.



nevaehs_gaze -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (3/31/2008 7:54:50 PM)

That's a cute idea, Trish!



RansomedHeart -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/3/2008 1:54:58 AM)

Hello! New here...I feel like Im intruding...but Im getting married this year too and Im loving the candy buffet idea.
i wanted to get m&m's in our wedding colors (blue and yellow) with our initials printed on it. i ran into a problem though, which is that i dont have a gazillion dollars. ;) best wishes to all



fluffmonkey -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/3/2008 3:24:40 PM)

Hi RansomedHeart, Join us with wedding talk lol
Congratz on the Engagment, Whens the date?
I thought about custom m&ms too because it seems awesome and I love m&ms lol

lets not get started on money :(



Mrs.Above_All -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/3/2008 3:56:29 PM)

Welcome RH! The more the merrier! Congrats to you. [:)] The m&m idea sounds great!

So I went to get more materials for my centerpiece. I think it's going to look great. Silk cherry blossoms in a tall, square glass vase with marbles and satin ribbon to dress it up. You'll see of course in my pics. [;)]

BTW, anyone planning on posting pics online? We should share them between us! [:)]

Sure you can say yall here I dont care lol Im from the south nothing new for me lol



Mrs.Above_All -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/4/2008 5:54:03 PM)

Wow that's comin up quick! We would love to hear about all of your details but I know it's hard being that it's just around the corner and all. I think I'll go copy and paste the list from the older thread and post it here.

::

So yesterday I FINALLY started working out again and today I have an appt. with a trainer. I hope to lose about 2 inches in the main spots...bust area, waist and hips. That's about how much I should lose to fit the dress. lol Some people think it's strange that I purposely got a size too small but you know what, if I didn't do that I don't think I would even try to push myself to lose period. The gym faces the beach and my DF got me an iPod Shuffle for my b-day so I am all set! lol



fluffmonkey -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/5/2008 10:56:59 AM)

Trish I need to start working out again too, I want to get back in shape, I dont want to be all jiggly lol
~listening to music helps alot when working out
~ It may be a good idea to revive that thread or bring it here I really enjoyed that thread



Mrs.Above_All -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/6/2008 12:48:18 AM)

Ok, so I had my workout and I my midsection is sore! lol Good sign that I put effort into it. The just 5 or 6 moves the trainer showed me for my tummy and back was apparently enough. [8D] Good stuff she showed me. Very Pilates like, which I love by the way. I wonder how long it would take for me to recooperate before I can go back. lol. I guess I can still do some cardio on the treadmill in the meantime. My core needs to rest though.

Ok Trishy, go find that old thread and get that table on contents in here!



sharonjef2007 -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/6/2008 8:03:33 PM)

That's about it for now. 138 days left until the wedding day. I soooooooooo can't wait!!!!!!



Mrs.Above_All -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/6/2008 10:17:42 PM)

There she is! Way ta go Sharon! How exciting that our weddings are just one week apart huh? [:)]

What kind of flowers are you going with Sharon?

Ugh. Must...copy and paste! Ehehe. Ok, I promise to do that TONIGHT once I get home from work. [:D]



sharonjef2007 -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/6/2008 10:26:10 PM)

We are going with Gerbera and traditional daisies with a splash of roses here and there.



Mrs.Above_All -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/7/2008 12:59:02 AM)

Very nice Sharon.

My bouquet will be pink cymbedium (sp?) orchids with a mix of pink and cream roses. John and his best man will wear a maile lei and my mom and Aunt will wear a rose corsage. There's no such thing as fresh cherry blossoms that time of the year so the cherry blossoms will be the silk ones for the centerpieces.



fluffmonkey -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/7/2008 3:55:15 PM)

Sharon sounds like your getting on top of things lol

Trish, usually a day gives a good break but on that day of resting your fine to cardio excerises

I do weights and all that every other day but do some type of cardio everyday

Right now we are looking around at houses




Mrs.Above_All -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/8/2008 6:18:09 PM)

Fun! House shopping. [:)]

I'm already seeing results from my workouts and it's just been three times. I may just have to take that dress in if I keep this up. [sm=funny.gif] But my core section should be ready to get burning again. Woo hoo!



nevaehs_gaze -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/8/2008 11:23:53 PM)

Arrrgh. It's impossible to come up with a wedding date to suit all of our guests, namely my family - his seem to have no problem with whatever day we choose. How awkward would it be to have 6 family guests on my side and more than 20 on his? [8D] I don't know if we should stick to July 19th or push it back even further to accommodate my relatives.



Mrs.Above_All -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/8/2008 11:55:05 PM)

That's a tough one. Don't feel bad though cause for us, no one on his side of the family are able to attend ours due to financial reasons. Both his parents passed away too. We are going to see the majority of his siblings and family when we go on our honeymoon (which will be in his home state) but none of them can fly out here. I say be in prayer about the date and if that's what the L-rd shows you then go for it. You can always send pics. Ha.



fluffmonkey -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/9/2008 3:17:28 PM)

Trish thats great, I got up and worked out this morning...so now I just gotta stick with it.

Neva, I haven't even begin to set a date yet, but like Trish said pray about it and sometimes you cant please everyone, and you can always have it recorded so you could show them it and take lots a pictures for the ones who couldn't make it.



_Cinderella_ -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/9/2008 7:45:04 PM)

Maybe you could decide based on the family members most important to you coming? If it really doesn't matter if Great Aunt Irma comes, then don't pick a date just for her.

Almost none of my family came to my wedding. Most didn't even bother to send me back the RSVP card with "no" checked. Probably the only way I could have got them to come would have been to have the wedding where most of them lived, regardless of the date.



dawntreader -> RE: 2008 Wedding Thread (4/10/2008 12:35:59 AM)

Hello, everyone! I hope it's all right if I just sort of jump in here - I tend to do more lurking than posting, but was excited to see there's a new wedding thread, because I'm getting married in a month! May 9th is our date.

We had a lot of issues with our guest list too, and thankfully all we have to do now is wait for the RSVP's. What worked for us was to try and accommodate as many people as possible, but also to draw a line somewhere and stick to it. We couldn't invite more than 100 guests, mostly for financial reasons, but everyone we weren't able to invite was very understanding.
