We had alone time after the ceremony too, thanks to sage advice from knotties and our photographer... we made sure we planned a few little "getaways".  

Actually, regardless if you do a reveal or not... everyone please make sure you have a few moments alone at some point.  It really is wonderful.

Lakewood has a balcony, but we won't have any guests up there. I'm really hoping we can steal away for a minute or two and be able to watch all of our guests having fun.

Me too! We are waiting until the Aisle walk to see eachother and I know it's going to be crazy. To each his own and while I love the pics from some people's reveal. Just like Brianna, it's not how I wanted it.

THIS!!!  Take Tiffany's advice!  My favorite part of the evening was the 10 minutes we had alone in the limo between the ceremony and reception.

I could be a little biased, but I think it was really special because DH and I didn't talk to anyone else besides each other in the moments following our "I do's". I don't know, it couldn't have been more perfect.

Man I leave for one day & I miss everything!

I just don't like plastic plates & silverware because they seem wasteful to me. I like to *try* to be eco-conscious and those just aren't to me. I hate thinking about all of that plastic going into the trash! And you can't say you're going to recycle it because you would have to clean it all of before you do, which takes away from their convenience.

UGH I flame my FI's brother (and sometimes mom). They are always asking me questions about the wedding & then making fun of me about my answers. Mostly his brother and then his mom joins in. Like they asked where we will be sitting (I think FMIL wanted to sit with us) and I said a sweetheart table... which I ended up having to describe to them. They asked why I was doing that & I said so that we can have a little alone time together since you are never alone at all during the wedding and they said that was stupid since we would be alone for the next 50 years! How about you just stop asking me questions!! And quit asking me if I'm going to have a full bar, our wedding is not just for you & your immature friends to get wasted! Grow up! I want his brother to just quit talking to me!!

Ok I feel a little better.

I started planning our wedding about two weeks before Bill gave me the ring.  He had already asked my dad and he couldn't get Jared of Lewisville to get the idea of a round ring down.  He had planned to ask me in early November (I knew why we were going down to College Station and what we would be doing) but Jared messed that up for him.  In regards to what's the rush:  we had right at six months.  I am a teacher.  I had to get through prom planning, final exams, and TAKS before our wedding.  I needed to have my act together and not sit on my butt and wait for stuff to come up.  It made our engagement much more enjoyable because I didn't have to spend every waking moment planning the wedding.

Now, onto the kids.  I get that the newly married couple should have some alone time and, if Bill and I were newly out of college, I would definitely agree.  However, Bill is 36 and I will be 36 in two months.  My dad's mom didn't make it to 36 with her ovaries and uterus.  My mom didn't make it to 40 with her uterus.  My mom, my grandmother and my mom's aunt all had trouble getting pregnant.  My mom's aunt could not have children of her own and my grandmother only had my mom.  My parents tried for a couple of years before I came along and they had been trying for about five years before my brother finally entered this world.  I have a lot of biological history working against me.  If I waited for five years after our wedding to have kids, I'd be 41 and 59 by the time my kid graduated from high school!!!!  No way.

I get the different stages in life. FI and I will be 26 and 30 but there will be no TTC talk any sooner than 5 years!

Renee!!! You're getting soft! It's you had a nice long summer to relax without the kiddos at school--right

I'm one of those crazies that would LOVE to have a baby at 22. Jay would too. Being the oldest of 5 and 6 child families, respectively, has a lot to do with it, though. If Jay was not in med school, we'd probably have no reservations. We still probably will have one during med school anyway--got start early when you want 4-6!
