Just wanted to say hello! I'm not a newly wed - I've been married over 3 years now! I belonged to another wedding website, but because my friend is getting married in Long Island, she referred me to this site and as I browse around, I kind of like it here.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know you ladies!

Re: Hi I'm new to LIWedding!

Liz - we must get together soon! I FM'd you!
Shamma does seem like a sweetie! We all gotta meet up and talk about weddings, babies and marriage! This is so exciting.

Liz, not to worry, I have copies of the tape!

Swags - I actually wrote to Oprah over the internet late one night regarding my experience with marriage and they called me the VERY next morning! I was so shocked at first - I thought it was my girlfriend playing. I really didn't think they would call me. The next thing I knew, they had a camera crew at my home and we were flying out to Chicago! It all happened so fast, but I enjoyed every single second of it and we had a blast. Oprah and her staff are the best and they treated us so well! That experience will go down in history for me!

Ladies,

I want to thank you all again for all the compliments and making me feel so welcome. I'm so happy I found a little family over here!

Hi Tracy:

Welcome to the board. I hope your stay here will be very long.

I saw that Oprah show. It was very informative, and it covered so many important issues about planning a wedding, and the marriage.

Being on Oprah must have been an exciting. I love her show and I watch it whenever I can.

Welcome again.

Re: Hi I'm new to LIWedding!

Good morning my fellow LIW'ers!

Natasha, thank you!

Thanks Jennbaby, I saw some of your pictures, and what a beautiful bride you made as well!

Shamma - awwwww thank you! You're so sweet. I'd love to meet you as well. I'm going to try to meet up with Liz this weekend, maybe we call all make it a date. Bring albums and videos and we can all chit chat away!

Last night I wanted so bad to get back online, but hubby and I had a dinner to go to. I hope to catch up today - I don't want to do any work!

Re: Hi I'm new to LIWedding!

Excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to see exactly when I'll be free. Sunday but early I know that's not good for Shamma.

Maybe Saturday late afternoon???????????????

TrayLu47 Posted: Oct 15, 2003 10:38 AM

Re: Hi I'm new to LIWedding!

Saturday may be hard for me, but I won't know for sure until Friday.

If not Liz, we can meet on Sunday and then we'll set up another date to meet with Shamma - or we can wait and set up a date where we can ll meet. Let me know what works for you both.

Shamma, how is your scheduling looking for next weekend? We could also meet on a Friday evening after work as well.

Re: Hi I'm new to LIWedding!

Shamma,

I'm so disoriented this morning (i'm working and doing 100 things at the same time), I didn't answer your question!

I have no babies yet, but hubby and I want to start TTC next year! I'm a little scared, but I think we'll be great parents! However, just about everyone around me is pregnant, so now everyone is looking at us like 'what's the problem!' I tell people all the time 'it'll happen when it happens!' I don't give in to that sort of pressure.

Are you TTC?

Re: Hi I'm new to LIWedding!

Friday is good for me, Saturday, I am going to spend the day with mom, on Sunday I am at church. I will FM you my email addy and we can discuss all this offline.

Hubby and I are TTC at the present, tho not actively. Everyone has been asking us. I got some good answers for those that try to pry, I do not like that sort of thing at all.

Check your FM
