wedding update questionare

How far along are you in planning ?
                     kinda just started
What have you accomplished recently that has you really excited  ? 
   My cousin just agreed to make/design save the dates for me so i can save some money on vista print ... you can do that if you upload your own design...i did not know this she is a graphic design person and is giving me two designs on sunday i'm so excited... And my bff justin and his dad are going to do the pictures pretty much for free minus gas and whatever I decide to give them ... yay

Are your parents/mom driving you insane yet ?
                           Dad said he would give us a budget, he has not , we came up with a venue closer to my FI house /area and it is a great venue etc. But I think my dad would prefer to have it here instead... BUT no where in this area is getting back to me and or has my date.... So we are frustrated with my Dad because I feel like I'm going to loose the date and the venue near the FI because he won't except that things in this area are not working out .... OYE !! 

How helpful is your FI?
                 He got us appointments for venues at a days notice, he also has a bunch of his addresses already to go ! I was so impressed.
How helpful are your Bmaids or MOH ?
                                Trying to get them together but my sister is being a lil difficult... Other then that they are txting alot with updates etc and I think we found a dress yesterday... YAY
Are you remembering that God is in control ?
                              I'm trying really hard to do that but it's difficult with the venue issues and not being able to talk to my dad he is sometimes not available.

  • How far along are you in planning ? 
    We have pretty much everything decided. FI needs to pick out the tux's for him & his brother and our dads. Other then that, its assembling the programs, assigning tables, escort cards and other odds and ends.                    

    What have you accomplished recently that has you really excited  ? 
    We booked the bag piper last week and that really has me excited. Bag pipes ties in to my families history and I can't wait to walk out of the church to them.

    Are your parents/mom driving you insane yet ? 
    no, my parents have been so amazing. They have given FI and I everything we have wanted. They are so supportive of our relationship and wedding day and could not be happier for us.                         

    How helpful is your FI? 
    He isn't in to the details like I am but has been helpful with anything I ask. He likes to procrastinate but always seems to get things done that need to get done.               

    How helpful are your Bmaids or MOH ? 
                                    None of them live near me so they haven't been as involved as I would have liked but they are all excited for me and can't wait for the big day to get here.

    Are you remembering that God is in control ? 
                                  Yes. I was upset over last weeks drama with the junior bridesmaid and shower hosts but have come to the thought that it is what it is and at the end of the day it doesn't negate the fact that I am marrying the love of my life who God has brought into my life as my soul mate. I am so blessed.

  • How far along are you in planning ? 
    We've got all the major stuff done. We're just working an all the endless little details. I've been pretty laid back about the planning process so far, so I still have plenty to do and need to start picking up the pace.                    
    What have you accomplished recently that has you really excited  ? 
    We've got our invitations almost ready to go out! They turned out so pretty! Just exactly what I wanted! 

    Are your parents/mom driving you insane yet ? 
    Not really. My mom and I rub each other the wrong way from time to time, but most of the time we've been working really well together!                         

    How helpful is your FI? 
    He is going to school full time and working full time, so he just doesn't have a lot of time to devote to wedding stuff. He helps as much as he can and would like to be more involved, it's just not possible with his schedule. But it's important for him to be working full time so that we'll have enough to live on after the wedding, so he's doing his part.               

    How helpful are your Bmaids or MOH ? 
    I currently don't have any bridesmaids in the same state as me, so it's a little hard for them to be involved. My FSIL lives the closest and she has been super helpful! She is really creative and so she's helped me just think through and plan a lot of stuff!

    Are you remembering that God is in control ? 
    I have to keep reminding myself that this wedding is all about God, not all about me. Without Him, we wouldn't even be having a wedding!

    All major vendors are selected, and deposits made. Right now just at a point where I am plugging away at DIY projects and waiting for time to pass before I can do anything else. I think I am ahead on the DIY projects too, even made my bouquets already and everything.                

    What have you accomplished recently that has you really excited  ? 
    I got my reception dress in, and got an update from my sister on the status of the alterations on my mother's dress for the ceremony :)

    Are your parents/mom driving you insane yet ? 
    My mother lives 6 hours away. I don't get to talk to her anywhere near as often as I'd like, so when I do we're excited to talk wedding!                     

    How helpful is your FI? 
    He's actually planning our entire honeymoon with a friend of ours that is a TA so that I don't have to put any thought into it at all! 7 nights in Cabo!!!  

    How helpful are your Bmaids or MOH ? 
    My bridesmaids have been amazing and SO helpful! I am pretty sure I would be like a thousand times more stressed out if it wasn't for those amazing friends/family members that have helped me with SO much!

    Are you remembering that God is in control ? 
    Due to some other things lately, NWR, I have been praying ALOT just to get through understanding and coping with challenges in life. I am so thankful to have an amazing church family to turn to as well.
  • How far along are you in planning ? 
    We're getting very close - 45 days to go!  So we're down to the details.             

    What have you accomplished recently that has you really excited  ? 
    We planned out the ceremony with the pastor recently, which has always been the most important part to both of us, and I like how it's come together.

    Are your parents/mom driving you insane yet ? 
    My parents are terrific.  They are so happy for us, and delighted that we are doing the planning (they basically had to plan my sister's wedding) that everything we suggest they say ok.               

    How helpful is your FI?
    Amazingly wonderfully helpful.  I cannot say enough about this.  So helpful that he gets annoyed when I don't tell him some details.  Things would not get done without his help.

    How helpful are your Bmaids or MOH ? 
     As helpful as they can be.  My MOH lives in Thailand, but is spending the week before the wedding with me helping with all the last minute stuff.  And my bridesmaid is willing to help, she addressed about half the invitations and is planning my "girls night" party. 

    Are you remembering that God is in control ? 
    For wedding stuff, sure, no problem.  I'm very low key with that even when we have random people double booking themselves.  For the other big things in my life (defending, job search, etc.) it's a little more of a struggle some days, but I try to keep my eyes on Jesus.

    How far along are you in planning ? Not much left to do except figure out favors and programs/menu cards. I have a full on wedding planner which has made my life SO easy. 
                     
    What have you accomplished recently that has you really excited? Not much in the wedding field but a ton in school related stuff!

    Are your parents/mom driving you insane yet ? Not my parents.. more my grandparents, lol. 
                           
    How helpful is your FI? He is wonderful!! He won't start talking about the wedding on his own accord but he's always helpful if I have questions or just want to talk!

    How helpful are your Bmaids or MOH ?  I only have a MOH. She is super busy with her own work (grad school/phd) but she is always willing to chat, email, etc. I don't expect (or ask!) anything from her except love and support.
                  
    Are you remembering that God is in control ? Yes! :)

  • How far along are you in planning ?
    Not far at all. Well, I've been planning all I can, but there's about 50 factors that get to decide even our date and what country it's going to be in, so really I'm just diong what I can...

    What have you accomplished recently that has you really excited  ? 
    I started a "Wedding Inspiration" board on pinterest

    Are your parents/mom driving you insane yet ?
    A little. Mom wants to drag her heels about everything, but at this stage there's only so much I can do, and a lot of it I want to involve her in- her heel dragging either means I have to "stay still" in planning, or shake her off and I don't want to do either.

    How helpful is your FI?
    In general, exceedingly helpful. When it comes to wedding stuff, he listens (which is great) but that's about it so far... but there's not too much else for him to do.

    How helpful are your Bmaids or MOH ?

    My matron of honor is being especially helpful. She's actually been inspiring me, and she's always encouraging. My maid of honor, not as much, but she's actually in her very first ever relationship and isn't as much of a soppy romantic as me. One of my bridesmaids is very helpful as well... my sisters? Well one seems supportive but we never really talk about it, and the other is being very mean and awful about the whole thing, but since she's my sister I've learned to not let it get to me usually.
            
    Are you remembering that God is in control ?
    Yes. If I wasn't remembering that, I would have taken control a long time ago. I do forget for some minutes and start freaking out, but  the reason I am being so flexible is I know what He has planned for me is better than what I can do, so I long ago made God my wedding planner. I do trust Him... I just wish He'd update me more frequently on progress!
