For Fun: Copy and Paste your Goodbye Post!

Original post by TreAnt425

I thought this would be fun to reminisce!

Here is mine:

Today is my last day at work, so I probably won't be on much for the next few days.

I can't believe I'm actually typing this! When I first joined this site I had over 800 days to go and I never thought this day would come.

Just want to Thank everyone for all the great advice and help over the last two years. You all have helped me so much!

I will try to get on before I leave for my honeymoon with some pictures, but if not, I will definitely post them when I get back.

Talk to you all in a few weeks!

I'M OFF TO GET MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: For Fun: Copy and Paste your Goodbye Post!

I can’t believe I’m writing this, it’s truly unbelievable that the planning is all finished and we’re actually getting married on Saturday. It’s like, “hey, what are you doing this weekend?” my reply would be “oh nothing much, just getting MARRIED!!!!!!!!” Ok, so now for my “see ya later”, I don’t like to say good-bye!! Sorry this is long winded but I want to get everything out. Today is my last day at work so I prob won’t be on much til after the HM.

First and foremost, I want to thank Ron and Liz for creating this wonderful site and giving brides a place to come to where we can plan our weddings, swap ideas, discuss everything under the sun, and make a bunch of new friends along the way!!! BIG to the both of you!!!!!! I’m so glad you 2 came up with this idea and congratulations on your 10 years of success!!!

I first signed onto LIW because I wanted to create a wedding website so that all of our guests could be kept up to date on what was going on. I’m very proud of the work I did so I’ll post the link here, feel free to check it out and sign the guest book: www.liweddings.com/weddings/cindyandkevin/ Then one night I decided to click on the lil tab that says “Chat”, now it’s been more than 11,800 posts since and I’m off to tie the knot!!!!!!!!

Before this I didn’t have a lot of experience with talking to people online that I didn’t already know and wasn’t sure how much to share. I’m marrying a divorced man who is 16 years older than me, has a daughter, and we got engaged after dating for only a few months. At first I was afraid that I would hear all kinds of derogatory comments, but I am so happy to say that I was never judged by anyone on this site. From a girl who doesn’t have many friends this truly makes me feel welcome and brings tears to my eyes, good thing I made those cry packs!! LIW, and especially the 06 board, has become like a home for me and all of its members feel like family. There isn’t a better group of people that could’ve come together at this time and I’m so thankful and glad that we found each other!!!! I want to send a special shout-out, and I hope I don’t forget anyone bc you’ve really all been wonderful.

Jess (CaMacho), Tara (BEANS), Carissa (Pigs222Seal), etc: I have so many date twins, there’s too many to name them all. Also, Michelle (shellnroc) and DanaMZ, my weekend twins. I’ve loved taking this journey with you and I’m so happy that our day is upon us. May you all have the best weddings you’ve ever dreamed imaginable and may every wish come true. No rain!!!!!! Enjoy your HMs and we’ll share pics when we all get back, I can’t wait to see and hear about everything!!!!

My honorary BMs I’ll see on Saturday: Jaime (MayBride06), Janna (BKtoLI), Darlene (OctoberBliss), Cindy (SweetCin), Leslie (Goldi) and Michelle (leighdvm). I’m so honored that you’ll be attending my wedding and I can’t wait to see all of you as I take “the plunge”. Thank you for sharing in our special day and I hope you have a great time!!

The past brides who have been so inspirational to me: You all had beautiful days and I hope mine is as lovely as yours. Not only were you gorgeous brides on the outside but you were all so sweet on the inside too. I’ll start with our first 06ers and try to list in order; Mel (JanuaryBride06), Hollie (hmpena), Princess Consuela, Pizz2306, Jayme (Mystere), carlsbride, chikita315, Kerrycec, coxmandi, steflily, kaklesmay, DomnNic, Leese, Kissy27, watersprout, stephanief, Preshy7, JessicaM., DCSAAB06, CTarantino, NPTBride, ChrissynRicky, MrsFelix, LovelyChas, akaMrsT, Dianne (diluvchu), johnsae, amstelitelady, hsacks23r, stephanielyse, Sunrise813, MayBride519, vita, foofy, Cmastro25, Andreia (Noiva06), evnme, Stuf04, Lauren (luvsTJ), cantwait2bewed, esb80, MissingtheBGene, gNi1125, miss_qiana, and DrBellaRose. Those that I’ve met in person I can attest to saying that you’re a lot of fun and make the GTGs a blast!! For those I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting, I hope that someday we will but I’ve enjoyed chatting with you nevertheless!!

Next weekend’s brides: I prob won’t be around to wish you off so I want to say my peace now. Bask in every moment and have the time of your life!!!!!! Beth (glinda_goodwitch), Liza (lipglossjunky73), meniasta, and superkat; c’mon down!!!

Bridentology members: This group formed during the most stressful part of my planning so I want to thank you all for making me laugh!! I’m sorry I’m going to miss the first “meeting” but I’ll be thinking of you all in your sparkly tiaras, have a margarita or 2 for me!!!!

Future brides: Don’t think I was going to leave you out, I’ll still be on when you tie the knot but I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement. I’m looking forward to seeing your weddings coming together and I hope I’ve been as helpful to you as you’ve all been to me. Especially Kris516, MsKitty1274, soontobemrsv, nickelpick, BJandDan, angnick, Kiddo115, Jenn2999, CC59, lacey&mark, Christine (DUCKS2001), Suzanne (SuzBride), KellyBride, Michele (conigs25), Kathleen (beautyq115), idovig, dblplay17, JP&EP, JeanineHubert, Awhite80, Lauren09, itslaurie, SIBride06, smara, JennandPhil827, M&S Sept12006, smurray, laborday06, Monkeyluv, Soon2BeMrs2006, iffer042373, franksgirl323, Betsy (ewickens), EmberLynn, aliwnec10, Debbie (debsey75), princessofci, Theresa (craigshunny), mtdr1106, Thumbalina, Kerri (kase21), BellaEyes, Gina674, and marymoon. I’m sorry for those of you that I missed, but I want you to know that you’re all amazing people in my book.

Never in my life did I think I could befriend so many “strangers” as easily and quickly as I did. It’s awesome how we help each other out and I appreciate all the good times I’ve had on here. More importantly, I love how in a time of need we put our differences aside and band together to lend support. You ladies are absolutely THE BEST!!!!!

It’s almost time for me to go now that I’ve rambled on for so long but I just want to say one more thing: ROCK ON!!!!!! See you on the NW board!!!!!!!!

Re: For Fun: Copy and Paste your Goodbye Post!

mine's not that long - i'm saving my long winded-ness for my review

Hey ladies,

FH and I arrived in NY bright and early this morning after our favorite Jet Blue red eye from Tucson. We're a bit tired today, but we managed to finally get our marriage license, so we're good to go for Sunday!! Even though I will probably be on before then, I know I'm going to be pre-occuiped with my family and friends , so I just wanted to come on here when I had a free moment and say goodbye for now! It still hasn't hit me that I'm getting married on Sunday, but I'm sure it will by then. I can't even express how much this site has helped me with the whole process. Trying to plan this thing from AZ ended up being awesome because I had you ladies and this site to help me out. Chatting with you guys, throwing around ideas, and just be here to support each other has been fab!! I know I couldn't have gotten much accomplished without all of your help. So THANK YOU to everyone!!! Hopefully I'll be able to post some pics on Monday before we leave for Costa Rica on Tuesday , but if not I'll definitely be posting some when we get back to AZ on Sept 22! Thanks again Ron & Liz and EVERYONE for making this quite fun year of planning for me and congrats to all of my other girls tying the knot this weekend, especially my everything twin, Joan_db Talk to you guys soon!!

Love,
Randi

Well Ladies....it's been real!

I'm off to get married in two days! I'll probably be running around all day today & tomorrow so I figured I'd jump on and say my goodbyes now!

I first started out on the knot b/c that's where my sister told me I just HAD to go on but ummmm it was always sooo slow...so I then started to linger over here and I'm SO GLAD I DID!!! Over 2,000 posts later I don't know what I would've done without this site and all of you ladies, I don't think I would've survived the planning process! So THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU! I can't even begin to thank people personally, I'll be here all day haha

To my weekend twins: FutureMrsR, HamptonsBride, portjeffbride, kristyrussell, ef922, imas98, MrsRallis07 HERE WE GO!! I hope you ladies all have wonderful wedding days!!




BYE LADIES!!!

Tee Hee Hee, Ahhhhhh, flashbacks!!

Here is mine:

This is my official 'see you soon'! I hope it won't be a goodbye, but the last few months have been too hectic for me to be on here as I was when I first joined LIW. I am thankful for this site, for the resources, friends, and advice. I may jump on over the next day or so, but wanted to make a little farewell 'speech'.

Thank you to those wonderful ladies who I have created friendships with, you know who you are. It has been such a delight sharing such a joyous time in our lives together.



I want to wish my Wedding-Weekend-Twins a FABULOUS weekend....I had my whole office doing the NO RAIN dance all week!! Here's hoping it works!!!
