Hey March Brides...

How is everyone doing with planning? Is everything almost done? I feel like I have so many little things to do! When are you going for your dress fittings?

Re: Hey March Brides...

I am ready to go!!! The only thing I have to do is get our rings. I sent out the invitations yesterday. I already have my dress in the house. I bought it and I am lucky. It fit PERFECT. No alterations!! Just waiting for the big day!!! Very nervous. You are a week after me.

Re: Hey March Brides...

I have to get my rings too. It feels very close now! Did you do church programs?

Re: Hey March Brides...

No Babe, I didnt!! I can't get married in a church. My FH has already been married in a Catholic church. We were going to get it annulled however I didnt think it was worth it. I will be having a catholic priest marry us at the reception hall. So I will have the ceremony there.
I guess I should still make a program book of some sort, huh? What do you think?
Let me know

Re: Hey March Brides...

Ann, welcome aboard. You should go onto BHB and tell everyone about your wedding details, how you got engaged, etc.

Re: Hey March Brides...

Hey!!! I'm getting excited and nervous! When I get stressed, I eat. I just gained back the 15lbs. I had lost! HERE WE GO AGAIN!! Oh well...I have incentive now...3 months!

I will send my invites out sometime around the 15th or so. I also need rings and my FH needs to look at Tux's.

IT IS COMING SO FAST!!!

Re: Hey March Brides...

We spent all of last Friday stuffing envelopes and talking about how the wedding is around the corner. I am tyring to figure out my hair style, I have had 2 trials so far, and still not happy when i look at the pictures. We are picking our menu in a few weeks, and invites are going out the 2nd week in january-due to the fact that our wedding is 1 week b4 easter and Passover. We really have it all under control. I cannot believe I am going to be a Mrs. soon!!!

Re: Hey March Brides...

We are getting the invatations ready. I had to reorder responce envelopes so im waiting for them, and Im waiting for the stamp sets to come in the mail. Its a set that comes with one 60 cent stamp and one 37 cent stamp. my make up trial is the 19th and the hair person told me to call in February for a march trial, but I think I want to do it sooner. The dress palce told me to call in january for a february fitting. we are still working out the reharsal. the pastor wants to do it after church on saturday, (about 7-730), but there are so many kids we are afraid it will be to late and we will have a bunch of cranky kids the next day for the wedding. I have to call him this week and ask him if we can have it saturday afternoon. OMG! I cant beleive it came so fast.

Re: Hey March Brides...

Happy 2004! It is our year girls! Tomorrow the invites go out! Can't wait to see replys come back...in fact I can't wait to be on the dance floor with my FH and have all this planning over with!

Re: Hey March Brides...

Hi girls, I am getting married march 27th 2004, and I am so nervous I am going to forget something. I also am freaking out about the money situation-AHHHHH!!

Re: Hey March Brides...

Look at all us March brides. With everything accomplished I cant believe there is still more to do. Do you ever notice how when you do something it is never done, it requires two or three more trips to complete it!
For example:
1) fittings
2) ordered Ketubah-need to pick up
3) brought in engagement proofs, need to pick up 8x10
4) orderd FG dresses, need to be picked up

It is just one of those annoying things.
Oh well, I will do everything with a smile!

Re: Hey March Brides...

it does seem neverending....I feel like every spare moment is consumed with wedding related something or other!!

Re: Hey March Brides...

Yeah!! Got my veil and headpiece tonight! One more thing off the list!

Re: Hey March Brides...

Where is everyone having their rehearsal dinner?

Re: Hey March Brides...

Not sure if any of you are from Queens, but my rehearsal dinner is going to be at Monahan and Fitzgerald's off of Bell Blvd.

Re: Hey March Brides...

Suffolk County here....we're having it at Sonoma Grill at the insistence of FFIL....

Re: Hey March Brides...

I am starting to panic now! I still have to get all the address for my guest list so I can get them out by the end of the month. We still need rings and his tux and I have to get the favors wrapped. I am most worried about all the money we have pay out between the apartment we are going into, the wedding and the honeymoon. When do you have to reserve a place for the rehearsal dinner? I still don't know when my rehearsal is, I have never spoken to the priest yet.
