Weekend plans

KrisKenny — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 14:40:58 +0000

For those of you not getting married this weekend, what are your plans?

Anyone wearing their hair to the side?!? I need inspiration!

zeke17us — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:53:23 +0000

I am trying to find pictures because I think I totally changed my mind from a full updo to wearing my hair to the side in a "pony" fashion, like this maybe....

but I never see brides with their hair like this...!

Where to get bags for welcome bags?

julbgordo — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:39:54 +0000

Good morning. So working on those last minute details, we are putting together welcome bags for our guests that will be staying on property. I'm looking for where to buy the bags. We would need about 50 of them. One place I found online had great bags at a great price, but then the shipping was just insane. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

June 16th Brides!!!

Single digit countdown!!!

Tell me, what's the one thing you're MOST excited for and the one thing you're MOST nervous about???

I'm most excited to see my FI's face when he first sees me at the aisle. I'm most nervous that it will rain since MA seems to be in a rain rut!!

We got our....

Marriage License today! It's official, we get married in 16 days come hell or high water!

We're Married! And Blogged! (PIP)

psuxdoll — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 14:04:30 +0000

Our wedding day went fabulously! Every single detail was perfect and I truly feel as though we owe the majority of the credit to our vendors. I would recommend each and every vendor that we used to future brides, happily. Looking back I would change NOTHING about our day. :)

We were blogged by out DJ. And he also put up video highlights of ceremony and reception! http://www.pifemaster.com/blog/the-chadwick-wexford-wedding-rudy-andrea-colaizzi/

Also, here are some photos, Enjoy!

This was pre-ceremony. We couldn't see each other for this one! It was so neat to feel his hand and know he was there. This was probably the most calming part of my day. :)

Happy Wedding Day

To all the lovely ladies getting hitched this weekend!
Many blessings to you and your H(almost!!!).

My time to sign off....

littleluckypenny — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:01:35 +0000

As today has been a seriously hectic day, which started on VERY shaky ground as FI almost gave himself a concussion and broken nose at 5:30 AM this morning (lost his balance and severly slammed his face against the wall; luckily he only had a bloody nose and no bruises or broken bones or swelling), I won't have any time for TK until after the wedding!

Tomorrow promises to be even more pressed for time and crammed as I eagerly anticipate my wedding day on Saturday!

Good luck and best wishes to all those getting married this weekend, and continued success for those still planning their fabulous June weddings :)

Did anyone do QOTD? Here's one!

hose85 — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 18:34:18 +0000

When you were a little girl what did you want to be when you grew up and are you that today?

What's your cake flavour(s)

MMCBRIDE4 — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 20:44:00 +0000

Our cake is a 2 tier ice cream cake:
bottom layer is chocolate chip and top is gold medal ribbon

We are also having vanilla cupcakes with butter cream icing

It's here!

ryaneann — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 13:18:35 +0000

I don't know if any other June 9th brides will check here today, but I wanted to tell all of you congrats and good luck! I hope your day is everything you dreamed of! Luckily I don't have anything to do until we leave for the hair salon at 12. Everyone ENJOY YOUR DAY!

Remember that Etsy vendor I was having issues with...?

peachykeen26 — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:03:40 +0000

Well, I FINALLY got my refund today. A week after it was promised. I emailed Etsy, PayPal, and the owner several times today and threatened BBB if I didn't get my refund by 6/13, two weeks after the promised date.

It just makes me sick that people run businesses poorly and are irresponsible with other people's money and orders.
I'm trying not to be too critcal because my first order was great, but now she sucks.
To save you, the etsy seller is NoviaArtesana.

I still need to put up a garter, wedding undergarments, jewelry, my jr bridesmaids shoes oldest daughter, and clip/pen for my hair. Are there odds and ends you still need to tackle?

OMG June 9th Brides ......

MIZCNEL — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:37:59 +0000

Only 2 days left ! What are you doing today and tomorrow ? Today I'm going to get my nails done along with my 7 year old daughter who loves having her nails and toes polished. I'm hanging out with my hubby to-be until it's time for him to go to work we have a few errands to do like buy his grooms gifts, flower girl gifts,odd and ins for the guest bags, and dropping off candy at the Marriott to our event planner who's putting our candy bar together. Then later I'm meeting up with my MOH to pick up our dresses that have been steamed (my recep dress) and her bridesmaid dress,and picking up flowers for my bouquet along with corsages for my aunt & FMIL.

Tomorrow I have a pedi scheduled at the spa , check into my hotel room once my MOH and I pick up my dress from her house then of course is our Wedding Rehearsal at 4:30 following will be Rehearsal dinner at the church up next my Bachelorette party beginning at 8:30pm !

Whoo I'm tired already just thinking about what needs to be completed by tomorrow evening.

Tips

matt&brit — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:03:08 +0000

Do we have to tip the dj, cater, anyone like that??? Its so annoying to pay all this money and have to tip on top of that..

9 days to go, and my dress won't zip up :( (vent)

aor9487 — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 23:00:02 +0000

So, I had my final fitting yesterday and we couldn't get my dress to zip up because "the girls were getting in the way", as my alterations lady put it. Now, I am in NO way well endowed and I have never had a problem with my boobs getting in the way, so I was dumbfounded.

I am supposed to be starting my cycle, so I'm hoping that it's all just bloat and that it'll be gone by Monday. If not, she said she'd have to let the dress back out in the chest region (which is the only place I had taken in in the first place).

I think I'd be more at ease if I could get back into my darn dress. First, it was an issue with my rib cage being too wide, and now it won't zip up at all because my "huge little B cup boobs" are getting in the way. FML...

Has anyone decided to get one or make one.
Like this:

I was thinking about buying one on Etsy, butthe shipping to Canada changed my mind. I decided to make my own and it came out pretty good for my first effort. no pics yet.

2 weeks out and not stressing about the wedding..stressing about..

rasp.berry — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:45:12 +0000

WORK!!!

There's no one who is able to take on my work while I'm gone for our honeymoon. I'm only taking 7 work days total off (2 before the wedding, 5 the week after) but I've got SOOOO much to do before I can leave in order to not screw myself over when I get back.

It sucks :(

I'm working overtime this Saturday as well as next, but TBH, I still don't know if that'll be enough time to get everything done.

I know it will all be worth it to have 7 uninterrupted nights with FI, but *sigh*, it still sucks and is painful to get through in the meantime.

Anyone else feeling the pressure at work because of the impending vacation?

I'm married!

Zimsgirl — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 06:56:37 +0000

I'm on my honeymoon but figured I'd pop in to AW. Our day Saturday was absolutely perfect. We got so many compliments on it and had a blast. I danced all night and I'm so glad I did. So many great memories. My brother was one of my favorite people to dance with because he was absolutely hilarious. We also had a few little kids that were adorable to dance with. One was the sister of the RB. I was dancing with her and she told me she's dancing with the princess. She also told me I looked like Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. When it got to the garter toss, the DJ called the single guys and my brother and my parents' neighbors 1 yr old boy went up. My brother was holding him and cheering haha.

The two annoying things: my grandma put us a little behind schedule in the morning. She's pretty inconsiderate and forced her way to our hair appt. We figured ok it's just getting curled. Nope she had it temp colored. Then she didn't talk to like anyone and just sat at her table at the reception. 2nd I hate H's best man even more now and H isn't happy with him either. We had to yell at him for every picture he was in bc he'd be the one person we were waiting on (and we were fighting rain after). My sister gave an amazing speech and his was so painfully awkward. She typed hers up and he kinda made a dig at her saying I didn't write anything down bc if you wing it it comes more from the heart. We weren't too happy with that neither were my parents.

Funniest moment of the day had to be when I forgot my bridal underwear. I had others on and was just gonna say screw it but my friend was awesome and ran back and got them then helped me get into them with my dress on lol. Overall the day was amazing and absolutely perfect :)

Here are some non pro pics I got tagged in

Turtle&Star — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:11:57 +0000

Ok, I've got nine days to go (eee!) and I'm starting to get real twitchy. I'm excited that the details are all falling into place, but there's still so much left to deal with, and I'm finding that the littlest thing sets me off (relatives appear out of the woodwork to say "yes, of course we're all going to be there - did we forget to send in our RSVPs?" There's suddenly an extra $20 charge tacked onto my favors. Etc.) I end up snipping at FI or at my mom or my awesome sister who's doing all sorts of running around for me. I just feel like I don't have any buffer that would allow me to receive small irritations and respond to them CALMLY.

Any tips for how to maintain sanity in this last week and a half? I know that it's gonna get worse before it gets better, and I don't want to have some kind of meltdown at the rehearsal dinner...

June 16th!!! MOH/BM issues anyone??

shanay981 — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 04:11:00 +0000

It's almost here!! As of tomorrow our countdown will be in single digits! Crazy, considering my fianc and I have been engaged for just about 2 yrs. together for 10! It's been a long road : Although we are very excited for our big day.. Fianc I have been dealing with some crappy bridal party members. It's upsetting.. Especially since we are now 10 days out. To be more specific, our MOH BM are a married couple. They both have been our very best friends for the length of our relationship. Been through everything together! We would have never thought to ask any other people to fill these roles on our most important day. Weve always talked about and envisioned our day with them theoughout the years. All the planning and fun things together. Skip to present day, we are in the home stretch here and they are SO far from that reality. My MOH has not done anything with me through out our whole planning process. I've asked her to come along for appointments etc. to involve her bc I value her opinion, and she has bailed on me every time. I've always brushed it off...Never really showing the interest in our day as much as we used to laugh and talk about it in the past. There have been more issues than I can count. We had issues with her and my bridal shower, my bachelorette last weekend also my fiance's Stag. Basically they both have been nonexistent for everything. My mother for the most part threw my shower/paid for it etc. My bachelorette that my MOH insisted on handling etc. was uncomfortable and she was extremely rude throughout the whole weekend my fiance's stag was thrown and organized by my father! His BM left everything to my dad and didn't even offer to help! Don't get me wrong.. Our wedding is much more than these parties etc. It is more importantly about he I and our love for each other. However, I can't help but feel sad that with 2 weeks to go, the people we counted on to be there the most our best friends have been completely uninvolved in everything. But what are we to do?? "Fire" them 2 weeks out? So frustrating. Just wanted to express my feelings about this and ask if anyone else at this stage is dealing with crappy bridal party members?? How do you ignore their callousness and just enjoy your day?? I'm having trouble letting go of this.. feel I need to to be able to to enjoy our day. Anyone have thoughts?

QOTD 6/6

If you could fix one thing that drives you crazy what would it be?

Where are your gifts going after the wedding?

Elizabeth80 — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:10:51 +0000

We asked FIL's to house our wedding gifts at their home during the HM. We live in a really nice neighborhood but there was a burglary over the weekend and we don't feel comfortable leaving an apartment full of gifts for 10 days with no one there.

We will open gifts at the IL's when we return and bring them home at that time. They are pretty excited about our opening the gifts with them.
