A newbie on board

MzelleRicaine

Hi ladies,Just wanted to take a mo' to introduce myself. Future Mrs. Mormand, an ex-pat in France, which is where we'll be getting married, so it'll be a destination wedding for those who are States-side! Planning on a July 2011 wedding. I've got a lot of ideas for the big day, but right now I'm just trying to get a sense of the myriad of abbreviations that are in use on Wedding forums!TTYS *m*

Good morning and welcome to the board. Future Mrs. H is getting married in France as well. She also has a great list of the board abbreviations in her profile. The ladies here are great and if you have any questions just ask :-)

Welcome :)By the way, my fiance is still making fun of "STDs". The joke of "You want to give our guests STDs?" is still very much fresh in his mind.France - how romantic

Yay! Another France Bride! Welcome to the Board! On my Bio under The Good Knottie Guide there are a bunch of abreviations comonly used in this board and some other info that can be really helpful to you. Where in France is your wedding gonna be at? Happy Planning!

OMG thats such a cute idea, for the felting. I have been thinking about what I could knit for the wedding... lol. I havent really thought of anything good. I was thinking a shrug/shawl, but um, definitely wont need it in the Virgin Islands!!!

LOL yeah, it's hard to think of what you can knit for a summer/tropical destination wedding! It'd be a different story if we were doing this somewhere cold! Martha stewart weddings had a super-simple idea for a ring-bearer pillow. Theirs was made to be extra cosy for a winter wedding but I'm going to summerize it:*Take 2 squares of fabric that you like a bit bigger the size you want the pillow to be. Sew together right side in, turn inside out, stuff with batting or whatever and stitch closed. * knit a square that fits the surface of 1 side of the pillow and sew it onto the pillow (I'll likely use a summer thread from my stash, like linen, cotton or bamboo). * add a strip of ribbon to tie the rings on and taadaa!Plus this is like the easiest damn knitting project - you're basically knitting a swatch so you can do it in whatever stitch you want!I also saw a friend's sister crochet all the flowers for her BP bouquets! that was pretty intense!xoxo*m*
