Re: What has been your favorite part of the whole wedding planning process?

So far the favorites are definately the dress shoppng experience and finding the 'dress'. I also liked doing the STD's cause it was fun making them on the computer with FI.

My least favorite part so far was booking the band. All the showcases started so early and I work in the city so I was constantly going back and fourth like crazy. Plus I went to listen to so many bands before I booked that I didn't like all the running around that I did for I would say a good 2-3 months.

Best parts: looking for the dress, the engagement party it felt so real during the party, booking CB.
Worst parts: getting the girls together looking for the dresses, being stressed, thinking about $$ all the time.

Re: What has been your favorite part of the whole wedding planning process?

Best parts: so many fun things...looking for my gown (trying on over 100 dresses...was a little stressful but fun), sending out the invitations, my beautiful bridal shower that my mom gave me & all the amazing gifts, flowers, making my programs, so much more...
(i want to be an event/wedding planner so it really is fun for me!!!

)

Worst parts: waiting for responses & being stressed b/c i'm such a perfectionist...

Favorite part- trying on dresses, looking for invitations, favors etc.

Least Favorite- being stressed about $$$, dealing with tacky people, and waiting and hoping for some no responses.

Re: What has been your favorite part of the whole wedding planning process?

Favorite part: picking out the wedding rings

Least favorite part: I can go on forever here. I didn't particularly enjoy planning my wedding at all. In addition to planning a wedding, I had to deal with DH's grandmother dying, my grandmother so close to death (she died two days after my wedding), and MIL being diagnosed with cancer and going through emergency surgery (she'll be OK). Needless to say, my family members were not really available to help because they had to deal with these crises. Don't mean to be depressing - sometimes life gets in the way!

A lot of this planning and making things come together is so stressful right now that nothing has been my favorite

Re: What has been your favorite part of the whole wedding planning process?

THE DRESS!!!! I can't wait to be all done-up pretty!
PAYING is a given.
I am also not enjoying registering. Part because I had to start the general stuff alone, the choices seem so permenant, I don't yet have a house to decorate in mind with, and I also don't know what guests will spend.

Re: What has been your favorite part of the whole wedding planning process?

My favorite parts were getting engaged- having everyone so happy for you, looking at the ring, I felt like such a diva.

Also loved looking for the dress, and the times I have spent w. my Mom, MOH and BMs. After hectic times (picking out BM dresses, fittings) we go to the diner for dinner, and chat about the wedding. That has been such fun.

Least favorite has been dealing w. the guest list. Also, coordinating everyone, and having to make sure the timeline and little details are all set up and perfect

I am trying to enjoy it though, I only have 6 weeks to go and then I am sure I will be sad its over

Re: What has been your favorite part of the whole wedding planning process?

Favorite: Being engaged, people wanting to see my ring & loving it, asking the favorite people in my life to be my BMs, looking for 'the' dress, finding 'the' dress, booking the hall, photographer & band, looking for BM & FG dresses...ok, it's ALL been fun!! Well, except for...

Least favorite: Dealing with my Groomzilla when it came down to the date. We signed & re-signed the contract for the Hamlet 4 - F O U R - times b/c Groomzilla was indecisive about Friday's, then Labor Day weekend, then Friday's, then Labor Day weekend. The other would have to be deciding on our officiant. Only THE most important part of our wedding - who is marrying us - it's been one argument after another. We are non-theists and his cousin is a Monsingior (sp?) so we're getting pressure from the family & feeling personal guilt. But the first dilemma was settled...so I'm sure this one will be settled in no time.

Re: What has been your favorite part of the whole wedding planning process?

Favorite: Dress shopping! I just loved trying on wedding gowns. I must of tried on at least 40. I think I was excited and depressed at the same time when I got my gown. I knew that would be it...NO MORE TRYING ON GOWNS

Least: I would say trying to save. It is so hard being that all of our friends are getting married before us and we are in their weddings.

Re: What has been your favorite part of the whole wedding planning process?

Deciding on my dress was the favorite part of the whole wedding planning.

Least favorite: Planning the 2 Pre-Wedding Dinners for my mother's 30+ OTT guests at 2 fancy five-star restaurants. Also, arranging transportation from ceremony--reception AND reception--hotel for these same group of 30+ OTT guests as they demand it so desperately.
