Second Weddings

So many new SW brides and intros...

Welcome, welcome to all the new SW brides!  I have been remiss in reading the “Intros, please” thread but caught up this morning on posts since early March … woo hoo!  Congratulations to everyone.

@susie morc:  No, silk flowers are not taboo.  My former coworkers’ bouquet was silk.  I think that MikesAngie may have had a silk bouquet.  Oh, Angie??

@Jells2dot0:  Try searching stylemepretty.com for a wedding with just bride, groom and officiant.  It was stunning.  I think it was posted there about 3 months ago.

@anayajami:  I’ve been unemployed since Sept ’09, so I genuinely feel your pain.  Thankfully, FI sold his house last month so that’s an expense gotten rid of.   Hang in there!

@Lolaamor:   I planned my first wedding (19 years ago) in less than three months.  It was fabulous.  You can do it!  Good luck.

@RkyMountainRose:  Sorry about your diagnosis.  I’m sending positive vibes your way.  Hang in there!

@terrifiedbride:  Sending good vibes to your FI!  I hope the surgery goes (went) well.

@mightyoakes:  Show me the shoes!  It’s all about the shoes.  LOL!

@OldBrideKady:  You’re not the oldest bride here, babe.  Enjoy your bliss.  Congrats!

For the 2012 brides, enjoy the extended planning window.  I look back on my engagement (18 months) and although it seemed ridiculously long – could have been pregnant and given birth twice – it worked out fine.  And here I am, with just 53 days to go.  Amazing!  Have fun and enjoy your engagements.

    Lisa, not only was my bouquet silk but ALL of our flowers were silk including the centerpieces.  So no silk is not taboo and it makes a very nice keepsake and you can resale them. (Which reminds me I need to get that advertised).

    You cannot tell in the pictures that the flowers were silk, and they held up to all the abuse that flowers go through on the wedding day.

    anayajami - Was marginally employed until 07/09 and then fully unemployed and am still looking but managed to still put together a wonderful wedding with my DH that people are still talking about.  So it's doable.

    Here's to hoping that gainful employment happens for all of us that have been caught by the down turned economy!

    Yeah, we all need to keep the faith.  I received an email yesterday from someone interested in interviewing me.  He received my resume from <u>his</u> boss, who'd gotten it from a parent at my son's school about three months ago.  Interview is Tuesday.  Moral of the story:  Tell everyone you know, even folks with whom you'd not ordinarily share work war stories, that you're looking.  You never know who they might pass it along to.

    I'll be back next week with an update.  Woo hoo!
