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?

Ah that's okay, I don't think there's a September board yet, but who knows maybe there is??

Right now still looking into limos and florists, have an appt on Thursday for that, but thinking of putting things on hold until I find another job!!!!

Besides, everyone tells me I have plenty of time between now and then, and I'm sure I'll have another job before our next payment is due at JT, (which is November, thank GOD I didn't lose my job last week when we paid them an installment!!)

Narrowed down the BM dress and color, but all my BMs are still driving me nuts. Now my MOH is giving me a hard time about choosing satin.....argh

aww :(

Bummer I'm sorry about the job situation, but I'm sure everything will work out.

Appts are great, but then so hard to choose we saw DUET today and I loved them just dont love the price

Janna,

I went through the same thing with my BM's - and my MOH was driving me up the f'ing wall!

She didn't think that the original black tea length JH dress was 'formal' enough - HUH??? It's black!

Anyway, I dragged their arses to RK Bridal, told them to only look at 'Jim Hjelm , Bill Levkoff and another designer, (I just can't remember who.)

Well, needless to say, they picked out four dresses each, and then saw the nightmare that other BM's were going through (putting on all dresses that another Bride was giving them in various shades of Xmas Green) - and each of those BM's just smiled, shutup, and put the dress on w/out saying JACK!

Once my BM's saw that...I smiled, and they said 'Okay, sorry...we get the point.' We ended up picking that day, the dress is gorgeous, has my stamp of approval, and the other BM's were fine.

As other brides on here (so right) have said....put your foot down! Don't give them a choice!

Hi Girls!
I just made my Save the date.
I am going today to get them laminated...I have the magents already. Is that how you do them?? I bought a pack of purple shaded cardstock. I hope they come out ok

I didn't laminate. I stuck the magnets to the card using double stick tape - didn't ruin the back of the magnet and was easy to take off, but stayed on well.

Take pics!

Girl...I don't even think I can wait that long! I've been buying things (a few items per week!) Less strain on the pocket!

Re: April 2006 girls Welcome

I bought my shoes and a bag already. I still need a slip - I think that will be an Ebay purchase.

The big pocketbook buster this month is a payment due to WM (again???) and (hopefully) booking the honeymoon.

Re: April 2006 girls Welcome

I have a floist appt tomorrow and this weekend will probably meet with a travel agent about the honeymoon.

Trying to hold off on buying anything since I'm low on funds right now. I might know by next week if I have a 'temporary' offer for a job.
