I See You Looking =) Come On In!

mahoganieyes · September 2010

AAW is collection of wonderful, upfront and creative ladies and I noticed on the "roll call" topic we have over 200 posts. So where are you? I see the same 15 ladies posting everyday on here. Don't get me wrong, I like them but....let's just say out of 200 maybe 30 is married now but that still leave over 170 of newly engaged or upcoming weddings. Post and share something with us. How about for the next 4 weeks, can you post atleast one comment a week? If you post something on my topic, well that's your post for the week.

I'm planning a wedding, in nursing school, nannying and just sent my baby off to kindergarten...

At the end of most days i'm too tired to take off my scrubs, let alone be on the computer.

But I promise I will try and pop on when I can.

OF COURSE!

I will REALLY send you one the next time I make them...I have to do some next month for sure...

LSAS · September 2010

Hi ladies,

My job does not like too much internet activity, so I try not to come on much during the day. I am nursing school and have a very active 15 month old. The wedding is over a year away, too far out to book vendors as it is a destination wedding.

Too tired sometimes to come on at the end of the day after being in front of a computer all day, but I will definitely make an effort to post more.

I was actually due June 6 but my little one came May 28...

What did you do for her 1st birthday?

passionate81 · September 2010

I had to change my name from mzpassion to what is now but i've been here just been mia since i went to training and be back out sorry so since my pics r still under my old name haven't really been in the mood to post under my new name but i'm still here.

sweets18 · September 2010

I am guilty of lurking too! But I have been trying to do better! I love reading all of your posts daily though...lol!

ChocolateDelight · September 2010

I pop in once in a while to lurk, but I am here.  I love looking at the daily gorgeous weddings (Thanks Cincy2011 and Mahoganieyes). With work and family obligations, I rarely have the time to post as much as I would lik, but just know that I am cheering you ladies on from the background.

Planning for my vow renewal is coming along. The RSVPs are slowly but steadily coming in.  Based on the recommendation by AlfDallas, my wedding cake has been ordered. I am trying to lose weight before my next fitting day (Oct. 4) but it is hard staying on a routine when you are on the road alot. I have all of my vendors booked except for transportation.

I love you ladies, but I can't always come out to play. The law is a jealous mistress, who does not like to share. So in order to keep my license, job and a roof over my family's head, I have to be a silent partner who ventures out once in a while.

Cheers and happy planning,
CD

We did a circus theme and had a clown...it was so much fun BUT it wasnt so much fun after I balanced my check book...LOL...

It was all worth it though.

The challenge for 2011 is her 2nd birthday party, our wedding AND my 30th!!! My money will be soooooooooooooooooooooooo sad from May until August of next year...ha ha ha

Hi ladies,

I've enjoyed reading all of the posts here on this board, been lurking for about a week now and have found some informative information. My wedding date is a year away so I know between now and then I will be posting.

Thanks for making all of us once upon a time lurkers feel welcome.

@Yas whats wrong with the original photog? I missed it.

@Ty those at home parties are a killer. The cheapest we have ever spent on a party was 500.00 and that was at home. These BDAY parties get out of control sometimes!

Totally understand this!!! I was crying about the costs the whole time, even though it was a lot of fun. However, we decided not to do anymore big parties until he is 5. Focusing on the wedding for next year!!!!

We was scheduled for E-pics in Atlanta labor day weekend ( We live in North Carolina). The Photographer confirmed a month before and the morning of. At 3:30 he emailed us asking can he reschedule because he had a stomach virus from the night before! Hummm.. didn't you know that you was sick this morning. I had already seen more than 20 horrible reviews about him doing shady business, but wanted to give him a chance. So when he started to rush us to come to the site and took 57 pictures for 15-20 mins! I just think he is flaky and I don't want to have to worry about that on the wedding day. I am scared that he will want to reschedule on the wedding day!
