This thread was orignally started for the 40+ Brides but would love to invite all 30+ brides to join.

I love talking to all the brides out there but I would like to hear what us 'Older Brides' are doing to plan their wedding. I am finding that I am doing things a little different and would like to see what others are doing.

My name is Celia and 46 y/o bride.

Renay- great pics! Looks like everyone had a great time, but what happened?????? Drama with a friend and your sister???? That stinks... why cant people just have a good time and celebrate your day without problems. So glad you had a great time anyway.

PS- you looked beautiful!! You are going to make a gorgeous bride
Okay, hre it the begening of the day. A friend didn't want to get dress, take the train, and just in a bad mood. Charlie didn't want eat by himself and he can sometime not be outgoingi. My sister thought I spend more time with my dad family over my mom. Three of my day family members came 2 1/2 hrs late and still want dinner and then wanted to know what they missed. The best of of that was why they was late. They started out late. I know no comment. So i stay on the dance floor so I wouldn't hear other people problems. Oh I forgot one. One frind thouht it could have been better if they didn't have to pay for mixed drinks. The drinks were $4 each no matter what the brand.

Renay- I am so sorry you had to go through drama on your day. I do hope you wedding will be drama free though!

Renay- i love the STD's -very nice. Perfect for your Ray Charles theme.
I was going back and forth with doing them. I think I pretty much decided against it.

I was against it too until my OOT guests stated they would take vacation and come to my wedding. I have more people saying they can't believe I am doing it that they will come from all over the world. In my 20s and 30s I said I would never get marry, but this is crazy.

Renay,

I cant tell you how happy I am for you & that you found 'the one.' If you dont mind me parting a few bits of wisdom (so to speak):

'To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.'

'The only things that life denies you are the things that you are willing to let pass by. Fight for the things you love, and love the things that are worth fighting for.'

'Life is nothing more than a test, the hardest test that anyone can ever take. There is no studying or knowing the next question. Each question gets harder, but we must pass, we must push to the limit, if even sometimes on faith alone.'

'In marriage we marry a mystery, an other, a counterpart. In a sense the person we marry is a stranger about whom we have a magnificent hunch. The person we choose to marry is someone we love, but his depths, her intimate intricacies - we will come to know only in the long unraveling of time. We know enough about our beloved to know that we love him, to imagine that, as time goes on, we will come to enjoy her even more, become even more of ourselves in her presence. To our knowledge we add our willingness to embark on the journey of getting to know him, of coming to see her, even so wonderfully more.

Swept up by attraction, attention, fantasy, hope, and a certain happy measure of recognition, we agree to come together for the mysterious future, to see where the journey will take us. This companionship on life’s journey is the hallmark of marriage, its natural province, its sweetest and most primal gift.

In promising always, we promise each other time. We promise to exercise our love, to stretch it large enough to embrace the unforeseen realities of the future. We promise to learn to love beyond the level of our instincts and inclinations, to love in foul weather as well as good, In hard times as well as when we are exhilarated by the pleasures of romance.

We change because of these promises. We shape ourselves according to them; we live in their midst and live differently because of them. We feel protected because of them. We try some things and resist trying others because, having promised, we feel secure. Marriage, the bond, makes us free to see, to be, to love. Our souls are protected; our hearts have come home.'

I never thought I would get married either...not that I didnt want to or from lack of trying, but once I got into my mid 30's & had met a wonderful, loving man whose heart had been so badly singed from a prior marriage - I had come to accept the fact that I could be happy living with this man fo the rest of my life w/out marriage, or I could try to chase after something that I knew wasnt going to pale in comparison to this man. So I followed my heart and sure enough the man who said would never marry again asked me for his hand last Christmas and now we are husband & wife. They say fairy tales dont come true - they dont exist...but I beg to differ - because mine came true the moment we both said 'I do.'

Sorry for rambling, guess your post just made me feel sentimental. I am so happy for you & really looking forward to finally meeting you at the next GTG!
