UPDATED:
Amazing how fast this post came up and now all that stressing, preping, and planning is done. CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!!
WISHING YOU ALL A LIFETIME OF LOVE, HAPPINESS, and HEALTH. As we start to stray from the boards I will remember how you all helped me and we were going through the same things together. Thanks! Congratulations Newlyweds!!!!!!!!
Best of luck for a future filled with love and happiness




I figured everyone else's month pops up why not ours...
Ok ladies where are we with planning and getting things out.
Please don't ask me..I am so behind. I am off work for the summer and now have no money for deposits on anything so I am waiting.
I have Duet -photo & Video and that's about it...I have all these little ideas swirling in my head though.
oh I am sending my STD's out late Aug.

What is everyone else up to?

Re: April 2006 girls Welcome

I don't have all that much to do left, and I'm shocked about that!!!

This weekend I stuffed the invites. Now all I need is postage for the inner and outer envelopes, which I will either purchase this week or the end of the month.

We got our registry done, including the honeymoon registry.

I'm picking up my gown and getting the wedding bands engraved this weekend. Might buy favors also.

Having a sample made of my bo-K by the end of the month. I also have to meet with my florist, because I might change my CPs.

Re: April 2006 girls Welcome

Hi Ladies! We are coming close.
So I did not lose the 20lbs I wanted to before the wedding..I have time right?
I am going to order invitatios tomorrow and I am going for wedding bands soon. FH and I wanted to try Elsa's before we order. I am moving on to the annoying part of wedding planning such as my shoes, undergarments, and I must get a unity candle. No rush though. I have off for a week in Feb. so I will get everything else done then. I hope
Any other news to report I will let you know!
Samantha that was QUICK! Wow I can't belive they are in...they told me begining of Feb for my girls. My dress has been in and taking it in Feb for first fitting. Oh and I have a hair trial next Sat. Picking up veil next next Thursday I will take pics
