How do I do the seating of the parents? Obviously it will be FI's parents, and my dad and his girlfriend, but who does my step-dad walk down with since my mom is walking me down the aisle? Should I pair him with FI's grandmother as an escort?

Any input is appreciated :) I just don't want him to walk down by himself.

Oh man...this whole wedding thing has really creeped up on me. Haha. It is so hard to believe that it is almost here, and next weekend I will be married to my best friend! =)

Getting teary just thinking about it...

Anywaysssss...we are about 96% finished with everything.
The only things that we have left are to stock the bar for the reception, finish making escort cards, make a couple final payments, write a "day-of" schedule to give to the parents and bridal party, buy bridal party gifts ...AND WE'RE DONE! Holy moly.

And I do believe that we are UNDER our 5k budget, ...somehow. Details on that and vendor reviews to come shortly after the wedding! =) Thanks for all of your help and advice over the last 10 months, girls! Couldn't have done it without you.

Yay! *happy dance*

My FI's aunt already has a timeshare saved for us to go to Spain (our original honeymoon destination). She went through a lot to get that for us. We feel awful to tell her we will not be using it now, so FI suggested maybe doing a honeyfund?

I feel torn between this, as I see a honeyfund as being kind of greedy. Like , HEY pay for our honeymoond and give us money!!" But on the otherside, we really would be using it for this honeymoon we are looking forward to havning.


What should we do?

I'm new to the boards. I just got engaged in July and we're aiming for an April 2012 wedding. :)

We're looking for a venue that isn't outrageously priced. We live close to downtown Orlando, so I am interested in Winter Park venues. I did, however, get a recommendation for the Lake Mary Events Center and was wondering if anyone had any experience here? The place is gorgeous.

I was also looking at Leu Gardens, but I keep hearing terrible things about them. The website makes it sound like they're so strict, I feel like I would have so much more added stress if the venue is so cold and unwelcoming!

Anyway, I'll probably be lurking around, but it's nice to say hello. So. "Hello!"

Invites: sample paper ordered, design finished. Just need to order the paper, get them printed and assembled. We want to have it done by Thanksgiving due to the craziness of the holidays, and I might be wierd and send them out December 31 so I do not have to pay the postage increase.

Hair and Makeup- Booked! Originally my one Aunt offered to do my makeup, I was skeptical about it. My other Aunt (my Mom is 1 of 80 didn't like the idea either, so she is paying for my makeup. Using Makeover Station.

Flowers & Centerpieces: I cannot wait for my bouquet! Mine will be all white with Orchids, Roses and Calla Lilys while the girls have Hydragena, Roses and Blue Scabiosa.  Here are centerpieces

At our apartments, there have been teenagers, or university girls skateboarding in the evenings IN THEIR UNDERWEAR!! There are elderly people and families with young kids that live around here, and I think that its totally inappropriate for them to be exposing themselves around our apartment complex like that, I mean, geez!! And not to mention the fact that I almost ran one over because they're ALL OVER THE PLACE, darting out from behind cars and sh*t. Anyways....the REAL story is this: I wrote about the incidents on our apartment's Facebook page to see if they could put an end to it or something. The apartment employees were very polite about the whole thing and I haven't seen these naked girls since. Ok, cool, its done. But there is this old guy that lives here who ALSO commented on my post and said this:

"They are just teenagers and college kids having fun and not bothering anyone. It reminds me of Sesame street. I remember when skateboards first came out and we were riding them in the street and the neighbors called the police on us. I thought that was really unfair and uncalled for for the neighbors to do that."

To which FI responded "Girls in underwear reminds you of Sesame Street?"

And btw old man...not bothering anyone?? wtf, I almost killed one with my car!

Anyone else think that is weird though? I'm not just losing my mind am I? Grown grils in public in their underwear...ughh. weird.

All I will be having done is a simple bussle and straps attached. Just trying to get a ballpark figure so I can have somewhat of a guess...

I got my dress at Davids Bridal and chose to go there for my alterations, and they called me to confirm my appointment and told me payment will be due tomorrow for the alterations. I was kinda surprised by this as anywhere else it seems you pay for services once you've received them. Has anyone else gone to Davids Bridal for their alterations? Should I push back on them and say I dont want to pay the full cost till I've seen the finished product?
