    I confess that my patience is wearing thin with most people. I try not to let it show, but it's getting harder and harder to hold in...

    I'm a huge lurker and occasionally post things, and have found all of you girls to be helpful, wonderful, and fun!  I admit that checking The Knot every morning while I drink coffee is a great way to start the day :)..I'm getting married on 6/11/11 In Newport, Rhode Island

    Ok here's my confession.  My bridal shower is this weekend in Houston and I confess that even though I am not planning it, I am super tired/exhausted/frustrated from preparing my house, cleaning, and shopping to make my house look nice.  FI and I moved in together a few months ago and the bridal shower will be at my house.  I am nervous as to what my "conservative" aunts will say (aka talk behind our backs) when they see that we are living together before we are married.  I personally don't care, but I feel bad for my mom who has to deal with all the gossip.  My mom said it's no big deal and she prefers to have the shower at my house because we will be more comfortable there rather than a restaurant.  But I know once the gossip starts, she will feel bad.

    Well, I've posted once or twice now, so I should de-lurk...

    Hi!

    I'm from the US (Pennsylvania) and FI is from Goa, though he's been here for about 10 years.  He still has a lot of family in Goa...and everywhere else in the world!

    We're both Catholic, so a lot of the customs and traditions discussed on this board are unfamiliar to both of us, but I love reading about all the details!!

    We're getting married May 28 in my hometown (about an hour north of Philadelphia).  At last count, we've got people coming in from seven different countries so far for our wedding, so we're pretty excited!

    Hi! I'm new to the board but so far all that I've read has been very helpful to me since I am just now beginning to plan my wedding which is on 12/30/2011. I'm from Houston and FI is from Austin so it's kind of difficult trying to find venues, and since the wedding's going to be in Houston I feel like I'm going to be doing most of the planning which is really starting to frustrate me but hopefully it won't stay like this!
