Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...
spel- what restaurants are you looking at? Maybe we can help you and tell you if we know any of them!
Well girlz...I am in a definate rut!! I don't want to do anything anymore. I have been so depressed lately thinking about all the cr*p I have to do in the next 107 days! I am seriously regretting having a big wedding!! I'm freaking out about money and that I won't fit into my dress because I can't stop eating the foods I am not suppose to be eating! And my wonderful (sarcaticly saying)FH is not doing SH*T!! I asked him last week to go to north ritz and to St. Kilians to get directional cards and I have yet to see them. Okay just needed that little vent!
On a good note, I did stat painting the names of FG on their jewelery boxes, ironed-on my RB name on a 'RB' t-shirt i got him and started to make my Jr. BM's denim tote bag and then..........I stopped!

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...
nancy, we were thinking about cafe grappa on hempstead turnpike in east meadow, but i've heard that the food has gone downhill since its under new ownership. very disappointed because that place is so cute!
now we're thinking about peppercorn's in hicksville.
i need something in the westbury/carle place/hicksville/east meadow area. old country road, jericho turnpike, hempstead turnpike. around there.
this is the next big thing on my list & i'm freaking out!

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...
spel- we LOVE Caffe Grappa!! We went there maybe 2 months ago and thought it was great! When did the new owners take over? I wanted to do the Champagne Brunch so bad but our rehearsal is a Thursday and then I thought about it for a bridesmaid lunch but there is only 10 of us including the moms.
I've never been to Peppercorn's. Where in Hicksville is it? I have heard of it but can't place it. What about Hemingway's in Wantagh? I can't think right now of other places...I'll have to get back to you. Any specific menu....Italian, french, American?

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...
We are thinking about Piccolo's in Bellmore ( we just went there tonight with my parents to see if they liked it and they loved it!!). Half of our Bridal Party have been going there for years. I have had at least 2 customers at my job reccomend Casta Di Pasta on merrick rd in Bellmore and raved about the place. As you can tell we are going for Italian. Steven's Pasta in Long Beach....one of my fav restaurants!!! But they can only fit maybe up to 40 but the whole rstaurant is yours. I had my friends bridal shower at BK Sweeney's in Bethpage ( but i think there are 2 others in garden city and rockville centre) I heard there was this place by NRC on jericho that was very good ..I can't think of the name right now. I think it is next to the Marshal's.
I know this was not the area you are looking for but I thought I would just put it out there for you.

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...
My dress won't be in until August...
I am stressing out about flowers, video & photography. I can't seem to find people I like, and that are reasonable.
Just got the wedding rings last week. Happy thats off of my head...
What to worry about now... ah yes, anticipating the arrival of the invitations. As soon as they come in I think I will send them out. The countdown has officially begun. EEEEeeeeek!

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...
Well my dress is in, and I had a fitting appt fr August 2nd, but of course my mom forgot, and scheduled a trip to florida, so I had to change it to August 16th, since I will be in Vegas form teh 3rd to the 11th!!!!! Yeah!!
We got the tuxes this weekend, and are waitingnfor our jeweler to be back form vacation on Thursday, sicne the caste of my ring is in. We are going to decide them if we are going to ahve all diamonds in teh wedding band or diamond and emeralds, for our birthstones.
We are also trying to plan the RD, and we decided on,Olive Garden, but then they won't let us do it on a Friday, so we are looking for another place now.

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...
I am trying to think of al the things left to do, an it is beginning to become overwhelming. I have all of the invitations stuffed and ready to go, just waiting for augusty 1 so i cna mail them.
Started working on the programs, need to get jewelery for myself, finish making the bM gifts, still need ot ask one more person to do a reading, but she livess in Maine, and I am not sure when she is coming home. Still trying to decide on a RD location, and i am waiting for my hair and makeup appt for next week, so at least that will be done.
The worst part is that I am goign away for a week in august, which is great but it is one week less that i can do things.

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...
Hey girls I just sent out my invitations for all my out-of-towners!! It's so exciting and scarey!!! I was thinking 'oh god now it's really getting close and it seems more real now!' ACK!!! I just went wednesday and saw my centerpiece! Went to Linda's Lovelies and ordered my programs and memorial candle.
I believe my shower is this saturday!! They had my poor uncle make this lame excuse to get me there...I could hear it in his voice how they were making him do it!

Re: How are all the OCTOBER brides doing?...
I too, am hoping it is my shower thsi wekend, but I think It might not be until August. I am just waiting to mail out my invites, I deceided on August 1st, but they are all done and ready to be brought to the post office.
I bboked my RD this week and have to finish assembling the invites for it, and I am making menu cards, so hopefully I will get that done this week.
I can't believe how soo it is, 12 weeks is not that far away, especially when I am goign away for a week too.
