I don't know why anyone would think that *I think* I have the best answers ever... maybe just because they're different?
I'm pretty much take it or leave it with anything I answer, FYI!
I just put my experience or thoughts as to what I would do... which is usually towards the budget/DIY vein, as fancy weddings aren't really my thing, although I did go through my sister's not too long ago.

Differing opinions and perspectives are welcome and expected around here, for one. A lot of your responses come off as rude, misinformed, and off-base.
Also, the majority of posters here did not have/are not having "fancy" weddings so that statement is pointless.
You are so stressful lately. Please calm down so I can stop thinking about you allll the time.
I still love you because you are an awesome job...but pleeeassseee!!!

Dear tree company,
The work you do is really cool...but also really scary. Please don't drop a tree on our house or on our neighbors or anything. Also, you smashed an azalea bush and broke a branch on one of my dogwoods...that's not cool...but also understand you have a lot to work around and some stuff is bound to happen.
Love, the people with oodles and oodles of trees even after you cut down 39 of them!

Dear FI,
I love you sooo much! Thank you for letting me pass out last night and doing all the dishes! You are the best!
Love, me

Dear HM,
I kind of would like it if you would plan and pay for yourself. I hate making such big money decisions right now. I hope it all works out!
@lapeanut1018 they cut down THIRTY NINE trees?! holy bejesus you have a lot of trees! all the vibes that they don't ya know, drop any on your house though!
@phira also so glad you are feeling better today!

@lapeanut1018 I think my username might be the hardest to tag ever. Oh well. I just feel bad for whoever @blue is cause she gets tagged a lot

I am beyond jelous of your g2g this weekend. I miss your faces (well hummingbirds I haven't met yet, but i still miss it). Why can't you all migrate a little bit south and live near me so I can see you whenever I want??
Can't wait to take the boys to do something with you this summer!!

Dear Neighborhood We Want To Buy In,
WTF. Please present us with a home and then don't let there be competition from 3-4 other couples and 1-2 investors who just want to do a cruddy job flipping the home and then sell it to some poor shmuck.
-Future Homeowner...Hopefully

Dear H,
I know you are frustrated with this home buying process. And I'm sorry I cried in public Monday night when we heard the bad news (again) because of my frustrations.

Dear Self,
You are down 2lbs in 2 weeks...keep it up this time.
@minskat30 Best of home buying vibes!!! Our lender called today to see what we wanted to do with the house and he's all depressed we're probably not going to be able to buy it (since the seller is likely not going to decrease the price THAT much) - aaagh, new house please show yourself!

@Blue&White I'm sorry about your house buying troubles and yours too @minskat30! Blue, it's probably better that it doesn't go through. If the house appraised for 40k less that's a huge difference...and even with a 25k reduction in the selling price I'd still be really uncomfortable. I'm certain the right house for you and your H will come up soon!!!
Dear Mom and Dad who are divorced from each other,
I'm glad you guys are BFF and all, and I'm not even totally weirded out by the fact that you're going on vacay together, BUT. don't come back and complain to me about each other afterward. Y'all were together for 23 years. You know what to expect.
But in all seriousness, I do truly hope you guys have a good time and enjoy spending time together (as friends!)
Love,
Your daughter who just can't even pretend to be surprised by the back and forth anymore

Dear best friends,
I'm excited for our trip in the fall! I can't think of a better way to celebrate graduation than hanging out with you all, and I'm super-happy you all still want to hang out with me after 14 months of neglect. We are gonna have a great time.
Love,
Your soon-to-be-free home girl

Dear mock codes tomorrow,
I am scared of you, but I'm glad tomorrow is just a practice code on a dummy with my instructors close by. Time to make all my mistakes so I'll be ready when it actually counts!
@CLoGreenEyes - thanks! We're not doing anything out of the ordinary since we're long-distance right now (he's working overseas), but we are having a Skype session tonight/tomorrow morning for him. Just acknowledging that we're pretty gosh darn happy that we've been doing this for a year seems like enough to me--if we were in the same place, we'd probably just have a nice dinner.
