Hardest- is dealing with FH family… it seemed as soon as we got engaged I was attacked. If they didn’t like something they made sure I knew it. But I have learned to deal with it a lot better

Stressful- I really haven’t been stressed… the ONE thing that did annoy me was my original limo company was giving me the run around. He was a family friend so it was hard. But now I have an amazing limo company and couldn’t be happier with what happened with the first company.

Easiest- really everything… FH and I have agreed on everything we never once got into a fight about any wedding planning. If we don’t agree on something we have talked and met in the middle.

Fun- Being engaged has been sooo much fun. Going to all the different vendors and bridal expos have been great. We make it fun. I looove getting new ideas. My bigest idea is I want to try and be different not have the typical wedding. So when I find something new and FH loves it that makes everything a lot better. i could be engaged forever

Hardest was having a friend of 25 yrs say no to being in bridal aprty. She has had some bad experiences in weddings and basically could not get past those esperiences to join my wedding but i am over it as i only want willing and interested participants in the wedding party

easiest part was saying 'yes' when he proposed

I guess the hardest part for Me & FH was that we werent sure if we were going to have the big NY wedding or do a destination wedding. So that was hard for us because we had alot of family upset about us possibly going away etc.

The most fun has been the planning & our EPARTY! Thats was the best off the hook party! lol

The hardest/stressful part for me was having an interfaith wedding. FH and I knew we wanted justice of the peace to marry us beacuse I'm Jewish and he's catholic. And to make it easier we just wanted to make it simple.
People voiced their opinions and after going back and forth we are having a rabbi and a priest marry us...and gues what???? It turned out that we are so happy with this this decision. We met with our clergy and it was truly amazing. It will be nice that both relions will be corporated into our ceremony.
So eventhough it was hard/ in the begiining it turned out to work out for all of us.

The planning has been easy from that day on....

the hardest has been family/friend stress that we have gotten---

the EASIEST-------> FINDING GIORGIOS!!!!!!

The Hardest Part of wedding planning was figuring out how the wedding was going to get paid for.

The most stressful part is finding a photographer that I clicked with and dragging fh to these appt.

The most easiest part was finding our DJ it was so much fun.

Hardest - I would say the same as above - trying to navigate the 'what-I-want' versus 'what-others-think-of-what-I want'. Also, my sorority sister that I LOVE said no to being in the BP because of time/money issues.

Most Stressful - finding a photog I loved

Easiest - Picking the Bourne!

Most Fun - Registry!!!!!!!

Hardest-Figuring out how we are going to pay for everything!

Stressfull- picking vendros! Some have been so easy and others are just so hard it keeps me up at night!

Easiest- choosing our hall

Fun- Regestiring, going to visit our hall, talking with our friends about the wedding and everything wedding related, I am obssessed!!

I have to agree with everything you said!! Except we didn't start registering yet.....Im excited for that!!

Hardest part: is the money, and saving money for this wedding.

Easiest: is watching it unfold and everything falling into place and planning this wedding.

Hardest: Has been cutting back on all the extra expenses so we can afford this wedding and trying to lose weight.

Stressful: Making the guestlist. I STILL change it all the time and finding BM dresses!

Easiest: MY DRESS!!!!!!!

Fun: Going to all the bridal shows and meeting with vendors and getting ideas from this site!

Hardest: Trying to find bridesmaids dresses that make everyone happy. I have looked at probably a thousand dresses at this point and I either hate them or they hate them. And on top of that I have to constantly listen to lectures from every person on earth that I need to be considerate of them when picking out dresses.

Most Stressful: Dealing with my mother. (As referenced in another post).

Easiest: Working with the FH. We have such similar tastes that everything I want or like he does too or vice versa so there's no convincing or compromising that has to happen.

Most fun: FH is very involved in all the planning, so it's been great for us to go out and do things together. And any time we do food tastings that's definitely the best.

Hardest: When we found out we couldn't get married this year. We really didn't want a long engagement.

Easiest: Falling more and more in love with FH. Ever since we've been engaged, he's turned into this amazing family man. Planning for our future, protecting me from getting hurt and just being so understanding and supportive. It's been so amazing!!!

Fun: Trying on brides dresses, I could do that everyday. And going to catering halls (sort of glad we still are looking, it's so much fun). And just being able to be as creative as you'd like, it's so much fun. And being able to share all this will the LIW girls.

The hardest: looking for vendors on my own...FH lets me pick who we want to go see and then comes, he also tells me its my choice who we pick....he wants me to have whatever I want, it would be more helpful if he gave his opinion though GRRR

the easiest: booking the RH, I knew as soon as I saw it that this would be where I was getting married yayyy

hardest---videographer because they are too damn high and the dress becuase i couldnt find many dresses with sleeves


easiest--reception hall , caterer, and DJ

The hard part is dealing with all the drama of family... Which can be impossible


the most fun is spending time with the fh planning it...

hardest: dealing with my mother and our different taste in certain things, and our very different ideas of how things should be. it's actually becoming easier the longer we're engaged.... i think we're both more open to suggestions now and we're taking more time to enjoy things instead of trying to control the outcome of them.

easiest: saying yes to marrying FH!!!! I him soooo much!!

most fun: planning in general, talking about the wedding with our families and friends, being engaged in general and enjoying this very short lived time in our lives!!!

Hardest - Trying to convince FH to invite his mother's new husband to come to the wedding and engagement party. His parents had a bad divorce and he really didn't want his mother's new husband there and his mother wouldn't come without him. Needless to say there were many tears and a lot of compromising.

Easiest - Picking our RH. Chris and I knew before we got engaged that we would have our wedding at Leonards. We went there once put the date on hold, then went with my parents [since they are paying] and then we booked. Nice and EASY!!!

I don't think anything really had stressed us out.
Everything has been easy and fun, that was one of the reasons why we picked 2009 so we can pace ourselves.
