Illinois-Chicago

Good Morning!

  Good morning...even though it's a pretty yucky day out.

What is everyone up to?  Any big plans this weekend?

Man, the boards have been *so* slow lately!

    Slow is not the word!!

    Hey! I have Open House today @ my school. I hate staying so that 5 out of 30 parents show but it is what it is.

    This weekend is super busy. My FH has tuxedo try on and we are going to the Chicago Classic Football game. We went last year and had a blast.
    And the whole time, my future husband was in the room...... image image

    this board has been disappointingly slow :( 

    No big plans this weekend, although I *might* order my invitations from this seller off of etsy who is selling them for 15% off for a limited time... so we'll see.. I feel like its too early and i've been seriously throwing around the thought of eloping with FI.

    Ditto on the slow factor! 

    I am going down to my alma mater, U of I tomorrow.  I'm so excited to head down there.  Work has been ridiculously stressful lately, so I am definitely looking forward to a little break from the everyday and reliving my college days for the weekend!

    booo super slow board! I remember when I day wouldn't go by that I wasn't on the boards but that hasn't been the case lately, just because I feel like no one else is here!
    Going back to Michigan this weekend on business which is a little stressful considering I only have 2 weeks until the wedding!

    The opinions and "i want's" from the family/bridal party is spinning out of control... its just not fun anymore.  So we are thinking about just the two of us going to where we planned on honeymooning (Italy) and doing the whole thing there... I get more excited about that idea than marrying here.  I have some time to consider it all before making a decision... :)

     Back in the day (before the format change in November I think?) this board used to be super active.  Now, even our "busy" moments are still slow compared to what it used to be.  I miss all the helpful information, vendor reviews, pics etc.

    As for the eloping thing, I think it's pretty normal to feel that way sometimes.  I know sometimes I have thought that, but I think of the plus side: when else am I really going to have all the people I love and care for in the same room celebrating?

    Awww Love, I am so sorry you are feeling that way. It is bogus that people aren't letting you have your time and just go along with your thoughts and ideas. Well, whatever you do, have fun and take bunches of pics!

    thanks ladies :)

    Miss Courtney, where did you get the invitation counter in your siggy line??  I love them!

    Love,

    I feel the same way sometimes!  I travel for work....so I don't have time to sit and pour over silly wedding things.  That said,  I think I would be sad and regretful if I eloped without all my friends and family there....so that keeps me going!!

    I've thought about that... and I feel kinda bad but I think i'd be just as happy eloping!  I think i'm just really mad right now... perhaps I need a couple weeks for things to settle down.
