You are going to find the dress for you. Don't think too hard and don't stress, 'The Dress Will Come To You.'

As for my dress..I was joking when I said because of price..but the price was unbelivable for the dress..I do like it but I will definately still be trying on dresses.
I have the week between Christmas and New Years off this year so I will be doing major dress shopping

Re: Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)
With exactly one month to go - I am just about done!I still have to:
do programs
figure out tables
do escort cards
final meeting with DJ
final fitting
do OOT gift bags for hotel
have hair trial (going next Wed night)
second fitting
finish doing jordan almond bags
wrap favors
pack for HM
finish cleaning, painting, etc., and move into new house (possibly not going to happen until AFTER HM)
finalize CP's
PAY EVERYONE
I think that's it - but I'm sure I'm missing stuff. If anyone thinks I'm totally forgetting something, please let me know - between work, the wedding and the new house, my brain in mush these days.

Re: Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)
ooh - thanks for the tip envelopes! I would have forgotten.The only people who haven't RSVP are 20 of FH's friends - yup 10 couples (one guy is in the BP - nice, huh?), my aunt and uncle who are living in Mexico and trying to see if they are going to be able to make it up here and my sister's BF who won't know until the week before if he has to be overseas on business.
I have been nagging FH on a daily basis to harass his friends. It's making me crazy.

Okay ladies, I am having a moment. I would like trumpets for arrival and a violist, flute and some other instrument for the hospitality and ceremony. I am thinking of working with a music school for budget reasons, so they could learn the songs I want to hear in my video. As for video I want raw footest. So ladies what do you think too over the top. Should I go in a different direction?

Renay- thats a great idea! Do you know of any music schools? Or maybe a HS that has a band that is willing to do it.
I dont understand what you mean about the video though

Renay - my cousin is a professional musician and both she and her husband also teach and have a dear friend who runs a music school. I'm not sure if the school teaches violin and flute though. I know they do guitar, vocals, piano and bass. I will ask if you'd like though.

Re: Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)
I don't want anything special for video just straight shooting of the wedding. I want video of us seeing each other for the first time before the cermony because Charlie get very shy if I am not around. Then when we are in the bridal suite waiting to get marry I want the video guy to start filming as people are coming in and being seated. I want to know who was late for my wedding.

That's what I mean by raw footest. I'm not sure if I am spelling it right. As all you ladies know spelling and grammar is not my strong suit.
