What part of the reception are you looking forward to the best?

What part of the entire wedding day are you most excited for?

tuarceatha

What part of the reception are you looking forward to the best? The first dance. I friggin love our song. And having the reception start with us dancing is spectacular.

What part of the entire wedding day are you most excited for? Getting into bed with my husband and discussing the highlights of the day.

<strong>oh gosh. So much. I'll focus on the more interesting to do's:
 - Construct my veil. If I fail at that I need to purchase one ASAP
 - Locate or purchase jewelry to wear
 - Purchase BMs' gifts
 - Hire a makeup artist
 - Select/book honeymoon activities

Thing you're least excited about for the wedding day:

Honeymoon?

K Everdeen12

Are you doing the old/borrowed/new/blue?  If so, what are your items?

tuarceatha

Thing you're least excited about for the wedding day: I'm worried certain people will cause drama. Not really for me, but between them. I'm also worried it will be challenging dancing in a long dress. I wish I had time to practice that.... ha

Honeymoon? Saint Martin from the Monday after the wedding to the next Monday. I can't wait!

St. Marten sounds so wonderful, what activities are you hoping to book.

So exciting! If you don't end up being able to do your veil, look for joyousillusions on etsy. She made my veil in three days to my exact specifications for $60 (and it was floor length!).

What is your first dance song?

Did you make a list of photos you want to have? (It's a good idea. I thought it was silly, but looking back, I wish I'd done it. We didn't get a picture of DH, me and our FG    )

What is your first dance song? I Won't Let You Down by Alex Clare. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1rnuXZgTPk

Did you make a list of photos you want to have? (It's a good idea. I thought it was silly, but looking back, I wish I'd done it. We didn't get a picture of DH, me and our FG    ) No I haven't. We are meeting with the photographer tonight. I'll have to share my wants with him then. We just got both of our parents' wedding albums to scan for a photo table and I want a recreation of every picture in his parents' album (it is from 1965 and it is adorable). My parents got married in 1989... their album consists of a lot of photos of people lined up together in front of a faded blue velvet curtain while standing on a faded blue carpet.

"What's that, mom? It was newly renovated?... Seriously?"

OMG!  WE'RE DATE TWINS!

I'll interrogate you!

-How are you feeling?
-What has been the most stressful thing for you so far?
-What major things are left on your "to do" list?
-Has it hit you yet?
-Where are you going on your HM?

[QUOTE]OMG!  WE'RE DATE TWINS! <strong>I know! </strong>
I'll interrogate you! -How are you feeling? <strong>Some where between annoyed with people (Mainly those folks that haven't RSVPed yet) and so ready for it to be here!</strong>
-What has been the most stressful thing for you so far? <strong>My parents. Their crappy marriage has cast a shadow over the wedding planning process far too many times.</strong>
-What major things are left on your "to do" list? <strong>We need to decide who will cater our rehearsal dinner. FI keep suggesting BBQ and I love BBQ, I just hate the idea of my Northern family coming and being like, "Really, BBQ? She <em>is</em></strong><em> </em><strong>a southern now isn't she." (Not that there is anything wrong with that!) I always imagined a nice sit down, maybe Italian fooded rehearsal dinner. His ma is paying, and so he has taken on picking the specifics for her, since she is not on top of it.</strong>
-Has it hit you yet? <strong>I dunno. In little waves. Like I went to schedule a makeup trial and the lady said July 28th and I was like "Jesus, Mary, <em>and </em>Joseph. That is the weekend before!</strong>"
-Where are you going on your HM? <strong>Saint Martin, staying in an all-inclusive resort. I just bought a bikini from Old Navy. First bikini in 6 years. It doesn't look good on me, but dammit I want a tan body!</strong>

I love your song, too Jen Jen!

How did you and your FI meet?

What is the biggest fight you've ever had?

How did he propose?

tuarceatha

I love your song, too Jen Jen! It melts my heart.

How did you and your FI meet? We went to high school together, and had a class together senior year. I recognized him as one of my friend's friends and introduced myself on the first day of class.

What is the biggest fight you've ever had? We went away for a night to Annapolis. During the night I said something about having kids together one day in the future (we were probably dating a year at that time, I'd guess). He refused to confirm or deny whether he'd want that with me. I was severely offended and we didn't speak the rest of the night and through the morning. The hotel room had two beds and I slept on  the other bed with my back to him. I refused to utter a word until he did. So we were silent for 9 hours or so. I think I broke down and started probing him with questions once we had checked out and were in the car. Probably not the most exciting story but it was an awful time for me. I can't believe I held out that long without talking.

How did he propose? We went away for the weekend (ha) to celebrate three years of dating. On the last night there he gave me an anniversary gift: a book he made of pictures from the last three years of dating. On the last page there was a picture of a ring, and he got down on his knee and asked me

 -How are you feeling? Stressed.

-What has been the most stressful thing for you so far? Planning everything on my own...and on top of that, having everyone make their problems my problem...like what they're gunna do with their dog, the cost of a cabin rental, etc.

-What major things are left on your "to do" list? Order the wedding cupcakes.

-Has it hit you yet? It comes in waves.

-Where are you going on your HM?  Hawaii.  Big island.

What kind of cake are you having?

What meal choices are you offering?  Do you know which one you want to eat?  Are you worried you don't be able to eat on your wedding day?

Is your house done being built?

jorja86

Awww, Jen Jen! I didn't know you were HS sweethearts!

That fight sounds exactly like the kind of fight BF and I would have...except he would never make it 9 hours without breaking the silence...he can't stand it. I, however, am stubborn as isht, and refuse to apologize first.

haha FI is the KING of silence.

Nono we never dated back then. Not for a second.

What kind of cake are you having? Three tier, lemon cake with raspberry filling and butter cream frosting. We're also serving cookies and brownies made by his sister and sisters-in-law.

What meal choices are you offering?  Filet Mignon, Chicken Tuscany, Fillet of Salmon, or Grilled Vegetable Wellingtons.

Do you know which one you want to eat?  I'm leaning towards the salmon, but I haven't decided yet.

Are you worried you don't be able to eat on your wedding day? I'm hoping it is not an issue. I asked to do a receiving line instead of planning on going table to table, but I dunno if that gets us out of that...

Is your house done being built? Nope! We went yesterday to explore it after hours, because they put up brick and dry wall this week. It is getting there. They are aiming to finish by mid-September.

Whoo Hoo! So close!

Any pics of your wedding band?

What is your fav DIY accomplishment?

What color are your shoes?

The cake sounds so yummy.  I love wedding cake.

Your cake sounds delicious!  I love lemon cake.  

Which wedding band did you pick?

tuarceatha

Not the cutest angle... but that's her!

What is your fav DIY accomplishment? None. I haven't DIYed anything yet. My craft skills are nonexistant. To be cheap, I am going to attempt to create my veil. I bought tulle and a comb this weekend. I also watched 3-4 tutorials to get an idea of what I am in for. Here is what I want it to look like: http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/picture/313982
Not too elaborate, right?

What color are your shoes? Ivory. I may draw a heart on the bottom of each shoe. I liked those shoes flygirl bought. Whatever happened with those, flygirl?

The top tier is something else. I forget what. We picked it in December... I think like chocolate something with chocolate filling? I dunno it was tasty at the tasting--So I'm sure it'll be good.
