Today we went and booked our limo! Our BP will have 9 people (including my personal attendant) and I didn't want to get a 10 passenger car and be squished. Prior to the visit I was email quoted the same price including tax & gratuity for a 12 passenger car, a 12 passenger Ford Expedition or a 16 passenger luxury coach bus.

We went with the coach bus because it is designed like a limo on the inside and you can see everyone in the vehicle, not just sitting in a straight line having to crane your neck.

The other thing I got done today was buy sheet music for "Bless the Broken Road" which our soloist will perform. My brother is the pianist so I bought 2 copies and mailed one to him today!]]> Invitation Question: Enclosure https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/951085/invitation-question-enclosure Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:24:56 +0000 May 2013 Weddings FLGatorGal88 951085@/discussions LIMO https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/950177/limo Sun, 21 Oct 2012 20:35:19 +0000 May 2013 Weddings DivaJenD 950177@/discussions I'm at this point in my planning process, and to be perfectly honest, I have no idea what I should be looking for... I also have no idea what a good price is either... and I know that's more of a "depends on where you live" thing... but the Western MA board is dead so it's impossible to get local input...

Since May is prime time for outdoor weddings, I thought I would post a link to my site (if that's ok!) I ended up buying a lot of stuff off of other brides on TK and really appreciated it so I wanted to give you the chance to see if you need anything from me. =)

Good luck with everything ladies!

We also got more supplies we need (almost everything, actually) for our popcorn bar.

On top of that, Patrick received a job offer which he was looking forward to getting, however the pay is less than he was expecting it to be and he had another opportunity related to going back to school come up, which seems to be a better fit. He's doing well with his transition and only has 9 days until he's officially retired. I've loved having him here with me each day, but I'm really seeing that he's developing the need for something more (school, hobby, something....) so hopefully he'll find that soon.

My brother and his GF and her 2 kdis came to visit last week and we went to the texas state fair... perfect timing since today Big Tex (the 52 foot icon of the state fair) caught fire and burnt down. Yikes. Got a pic of all 4 kids in front of it though  before he was gone. :)

Mine are the middle 2 kids.

P's exwife is giving us issues. She split up with her longtime partner/fiancee back in June and started dating some other girl right after. 3 weeks later they got engaged, and now they are etting married 2 weeks before us. Everyone in the family is sure it's a race and is all upset about it. I'm not. I figure if she's this good at racing to the altar, she'll probably be just as good about racing to the divorce lawyer ;)


That about wraps it up in my world. Things are going well and I hope to post some pics here shortly.

Hope you all are doing well and I'm about to dive into the boards and catch up on everyones stuff. LOL]]> Stupid wedding nightmare... https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/949645/stupid-wedding-nightmare Mon, 15 Oct 2012 12:57:39 +0000 May 2013 Weddings CamiB30 949645@/discussions
IIn my dream, we decided to forgo the caterer and make the food ourselves. At one point in my dream, the entire WP was in my kitchen making PB&J sandwiches, lol! I just remembered I was so stressed because I didn't think we were going to finish in time. It'll be a long time before I'm able to eat another PB&J sandwich.]]> Dress isn't too big! https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/949381/dress-isnt-too-big Sat, 20 Oct 2012 01:03:37 +0000 May 2013 Weddings sarahaleen 949381@/discussions

Even though I've flat out refused this several times from a few different people, my man of honor is insisting on throwing me a bachelorette party probably in April.  I just don't want to have a bachelorette party without my other best friend, but she doesn't have the money or time to fly out for that party in April and then come back again in May for the wedding.

My man of honor wanted to throw a combination bachelorette/bachelor party for me and FI since he's great friends with both of us.  FI's suggestion was to have the party in... Vegas!  I was like "NOOO", but he said then my best friend could come from LA easily and my man of honor would totally be up for it (yes he would).  We have a couple other friends that I'm sure love to go to Vegas with us, but I just think Vegas is too much.

I'm not sure what advice I'm asking for here.  It would be rude to ask my man of honor to do Vegas anyway, right?  Does anyone else think Vegas is way too much?  Any suggestions about getting man of honor to understand why I don't want a bach party?

In the meantime, I will have a chance to start looking for other opportunities more agressively. The good enws is that we are continuing to save money while I am still here. We are going to hold off on booking honeymoon plans for the next month or so, and I think at this point we are still thinking Europe in May. We might just hold off on some household upgrades we were planning on doing that and reserving those funds instead.

So I just wanted to update you all. Its been a tough week and Im looking forward to getting back inspired with wedding plans again next week.]]> PSA - wedding stuff on Gilt Today https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/950928/psa-wedding-stuff-on-gilt-today Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:49:50 +0000 May 2013 Weddings Mhanley4567 950928@/discussions

I was married at the age of 21 back in 1999 and the divorce was final in December 2009. So it's not like I've rushed from one marriage to another.

Do you think some of FI's guests that don't know me yet will judge when they find out it's my second wedding?

FI doesn't judge me, neither do his parents or sister, my parents knew I was in a bad relationship before I did. I guess I don't know why I am paranoid.
