<<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

wow there's a lot of snow out there!

I would like to thank Kim so much for making me BOTW! I have loved being BOTW-its been a lot of fun!

Some of you may not know I was originally suppose to be married June 6, 2010. Circumstances came up and we moved up the wedding 5 months. Leaving about 2 1/2 months to finish planning & get everything done.
My last QOTD...

If you had to move up your wedding & it was in like 2 months would you be able to do it? what do you have left to do? For girls who are getting married within 2 months-looking back would you have been able to get everything planned within a shorter amount of time?

As far as vendors we were able to move everything up except flowers (they were going to be closed for vacation) so we went with our second choice.
we came across a little trouble when we were looking for moh dress but we were able to buy one from the store(& it was a maternity one too-great find & the color was perfect for the winter wedding)
Im really excited to be married in a week & prob would drive myself crazy if we had stuck to our original date. It actually helped me make decisions faster and not to stress about the little stuff.

Idk if I could have made it through without the help & support of everyone on LIW. I have met some of the nicest people through this website & learned to try new things (like meeting people from online!) I am just as excited to see all your weddings as I am for mine! Thanks again!!

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

if i found out right now (4 months out), yes i would be able to pull it together in 2 months that is if all my vendors were available. if not, im confident i would still be able to find other great vendors but if were talking, realistically, not hypothetically, i dont know how i would deal with losing deposits, i wouldnt be able to afford that plus booking other vendors so i dont know...

glad it worked out for you though!

Congratulations, Laura!! And thanks for the QOTDs They were so great this week!!!!
I'm not sure I'd be able to do it. If it had to be two months from now, that would be February, and I'd hate it because I hate winter and REALLY was committed to having it in the warm weather...BUT, I'd deal. I'd have to have the whole thing inside at my venue, which would be a huge waste, but in terms of getting things done...I would have to get the invitations printed, find transportation, and move everything up. Vendors would prob be available since it's Feb, but still....I have a lot to do and I'm not sure I'd be able to get it all done in 2 months.

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

I dont think there is any way I could get married in 2months. I still dont have alot of the small stuff, no tuxes, neither mom has a dress, no flowr girl dresses, no accessories. It would wayy too much stress!

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

Laura u know that ur a 10er forever no matter what ur date is :)
Can't believe ur only a week away!!! Yey!

I think I will be able to move everything if need be. Of course all depending on my vendors availability.
We are missing invites and haven't gone for the tux but I'm sure those 2 things are doable in 2.5 months
The only thing that would make me not to move is that my parents have their ane tkts bought and it would be tough to change them

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

honestly - no i don't think i'd be able to do it- without losing my job. It's hard enough as it is for me to get things done. between that and the upcoming surgery... .no way.

if i didn't have to have surgery, and i didn't have a job that pretty much took over my life, i'd say bring it on!!! having more time makes me laaaazy.

Laura - you know it already but you're awesome!!!! I cannot WAIT to see pics from your wedding and I'm so excited for you and G!!!!

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

I don't think we'd be able to do it all in two months unless we take out a loan- we have, thankfully, five more months to save and I still don't know how we're going to do it

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

No way!!! Technically I'm a year away. I don't have a dress invites flowers bm dress an officiant. I think if I had 6 months I could it.

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

nope no way I doubt I would be finacially ready to move it up unless someone gave us money.

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

I could move it up. It's called City Hall.

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

If I had to move our date it would def be a much smaller wedding on a beach somewhere!

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

YES! All my vendors are booked and only small details are left. As long as I could get my invites earlier than I am scheduled for now I would be fine.

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

i think i could..i still have stuff left to do, but i have 2 breaks from work between now and then, and im pretty sure it could be done..

LaurenJosh Posted: Dec 20, 2009 11:18 AM

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

I don't think I'd be able to pull it off. My invites won't be here for another month and still haven't gotten hair/makeup, limos, favors, veil, headpiece. Yeah, I've been slacking lately so there's no way I could get all of that together in two months.

mrsdraskin2009 Posted: Dec 20, 2009 11:33 AM

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

Yeah I could do it no problem...everything is squared away, I wouldn't want to since our date is sentimental, but I would if I had to.

JAAMS Posted: Dec 20, 2009 11:51 AM

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

There's NO WAY we could lol...

We don't have limos, flower, CPs...haven't ordered invitations yet...uhmmm what else have we not done?

No one has clothes...I don't have a dress... we def have not saved enough yet lol

ahhh! the thought scares me

Re: <<<QOTD 12/20/09>>>

You are so very welcome...you'll always be a '10er at heart. I wish you the very best!!!

I sorta wish we had to get everything done NOW!! I mean we really do, but FH just stalled with the preparations.
