I can not believe how many 04 Brides there are. When I first started on here, it was just Marcel and I. Now we have our own 'sisterhood'.

I know I agree! I'm so excited there are more of us.

Re: 04 Brides

I have been here since November of last year but engaged in April of this year. Anyone been here longer than me?

Marcela I have no idea what those red things are but...when in doubt I say just skip it!
If I show my dad the recipe he will make it and then explain it to me how he did it. Since he still has time on his hands....

Re: 04 Brides

Me too! I started this summer!! I'm still looking to finalize the photo/video. Then I won't have to worry about stuff till next summer. I put deadlines on when i should begin everything, so by the end of the year I'll have the place, church, photo, and video. All the bigs ones to worry about. It feels good to get things done!
Edited to answer cw0904: I actually booked Leonard's, I met with Ariana studios for pics and video and I also met with Bellarino for video.
It looks as if I'm going with Bellarino for video.

Re: 04 Brides

I have been on the board since the summer...another bride told me to checkit out and I've beenhooked ever since.
Marcela, that sounds great...i'm sure everything will turn out fine.
I am so happy there are so many of us 04 brides...its great.
I would be even better if we had our own place to go.
Its true we have our own sisterhood...

Re: 04 Brides

Here is a question for you girls...
What do you have in mind for BP gifts.
I would like to get the girls jewelery to wear the day of...
for the guys i'm clueless...i thought about nice silver bracelets. I used to work in a jewelery store, and I am still very close with them so we are getting everything there.
Any suggestions

Re: 04 Brides

I actually have already started buying the gifts for my BP. My MOH (which is my sister) is going to get jewerly (probably necklace, bracelet & earrings) and a MOH hankerchief, my BMs are getting jewerly (necklace & bracelet), a BM hankerchief & a small BM book, the Best Man is getting a money clip and a Best Man beer stein & the GM are getting money clips (not as expensive as the one for the Best Man) and shot glasses with their initials on them. I have already purchased the MOH & BM hankerchiefs & the small BM books and we have already left a deposit on all the money clips.

Re: 04 Brides

I have about 90% of my wedding done. If I had a dress, I could get married tomorrow. Since the begining of the summer I have been done with everything. I have the church, hall, DJ, videographer, photographer, limos, unity candle & stand, parents gifts, grandmother gift & started as you read purchasing BP gifts. I do know what I am going to be buying our godparents (they are brining up the gifts during the mass) and our aunts (who will be doing the readings). I know which florist I am going to be using, I just need to go and leave them a deposit. I hate to wait for the last minute for anything.
