FFT?/GOOD MORNING AWESOME EENERS!!!

andy71781

Its just a fun trip with H's best buddy and his girlfriend who I love.  We were really close in Chicago.  Its a quick weekend trip - I can't wait!

I used to live there so its fun to go back.

Where is your dress going?

xyrius

now i'm even more jealous that you used to live there, lol

are you selling your dress?  i think i would just take it out and look at it one last time

andy71781

Its going to Brides Against Breast Cancer.  I'm donating it for a good cause because I couldn't bear to sell it.  I am waiting until the very last day to do it per H's and my agreement.

kellyjellybelly

Andy, you're the sweetest person.

I had mine cleaned and boxed up all pretty.  Then it was sold, and I just sent it away.  I wasn't that emotionally attached to it.

kellyjellybelly

I loved your dress Snippy.

andy, I bet you didn't even know I was looking for a reputable place to give my dress to, huh? Well, I'm thinking I'm probably sending it to Brides Against Cancer now. What an incredible project! And so much better than my dress just swimming around the bottom of my guest room closet.

andy71781

oh yay!  That makes me happy manda.  Its a reputable organization for sure.  The $40 processing fee was a little annoying but whatever. 

I know it sounds sweet but honestly I do NOT want to do it right now.  Its like going to the gyno right now.  I know its good and important and I signed up for a reason but waaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaha

xyrius

i was actually intending on keeping my wedding dress and wearing it each year for our vow renewals... hopefully it will fit year after year!

Navy blue and apple green.  And we have not one single name of overlap, so everything has been thrown out there by one of us, and all of them shot down.

I haven't found anywhere that didn't require some kind of cleaning money. You're right, it's a little annoying, but the whole thing is tax deductible so, whatever. And honestly, I feel like it's going to cost more than $40 to clean. I had an out door wedding (dirt on the train) and drank red wine against my coorinator's best wishes.

xyrius

don't know if you like this one squirrly, but my fave boy name was noah

and i was going to be all cheezy and decorate the nursery like noah's arc...

FI didn't like it, good thing we had a girl, lol... FI wanted to name the boy "Rudiger"

we got another cat and named him Rudiger instead, lol

If H and I ever have a kid, it would be a fight to the bitter end for a name.  He would want Xanadu or something like that.

xyrius

and navy blue and apple green are such pretty colours!

yes.  me too.  and we had chocolate cake.  and I went barefoot.

Totally off topic, but does anyone know if Fishy made her flight? That would really suck to have the weather cancel getting to see your friends.

andy71781

oh AND the fact that we had a photoshoot on the beach in a life guard boat before the reception.  I basically had a trash the dress session on my wedding day.

xyrius

emily - i think i saw her post on snarky brides that her flight had been cancelled but she was able to book another, not sure if she got on it or not

mica178

I can't believe this thread is still running

squirrly

Emily, I don't see any updates either way on anybody's FB pages.

kellyjellybelly

IT'S MADNESS MICA!

kellyjellybelly

I really think I'm going to have to send H out of the delivery room for some reason and quickly name the kid while he's gone

mandapanda78

True story: family friend named his kid Samwise Gamgee (first and middle names)

xyrius

kjb - nope, i was trying to be funny.    though, i'm tempted to tell that to FI to see what his reaction would be.  lol

kellyjellybelly

Ok, I thought you were kidding, but I wasn't sure

xyrius

i wish i would have put amy's middle name as "danger"

then she could say "danger is my middle name"

*drum roll please*

.... ok I think I hear crickets chirping

alixzafiris

fishy is at the airport hoping to get on standby.  it's fucking "ghey."  and so is making yesterdays FFT thread into the good morning thread. 

signed,

mandy

kellyjellybelly

xyrius
