So, I think I'm the first one to marry since this board started, so I get to post the first wedding pix.. Woo hoo!! Thanks to my super efficient college roomie, here are a few:

My page is open, since my life is an open book.

So, a little background on the roomie thing. There are a few pix of me with two of my roommates and I'll be 50 this year; they will be next year, so we decided at the wedding that we're going on our 50th birthday party cruise next year. How cool is that? Just another nice added bonus bit of fun for the weekend!!!!!

Thank you all. We had a blast--exactly the reception we were hoping for: a big party for our family and friends! I'll let you know when we get more and when the pro pix go up. We had a great team of folks working with us. And, even better, all super nice!!

You looked gorgeous!!! So are you at all relieved that it's finally over? I love the planning, but I don't think I'll be too sad the day after...not only will we be married, but no more planning!!!

Hey Weezie--I actually wrote a response to you hours ago. Then work interrupted and I forgot to post it. Oh well. Basically, I said that I loved planning the wedding, but that it was time for that phase to END. We were ready, especially my husband. (I was a bit short sometimes toward the end, but I think brides--no matter what our age--feel some freakish pressure that most grooms seem to escape.

We had a long engagement (1/1/10), but it was broken up by a political campaign, so other than booking the big things that had to be done early, I did a lot of things after November. During the campaign, though, I was obsessing over this site, Style Me Pretty, etsy, and others.

It's funny, though, I really stopped checking out SMP daily about a month ago when I'd put all the decisions to bed. There really is a natural progression to this process. I still look at it occasionally, because I think it's a beautiful site, but it's not a conversation like we're having here, so I'm not compelled to check in.

I am, and will remain, compelled to watch Randy Finoli and "Say Yes to the Dress." Forever. Period.

I'm glad to hear it. We are having a long engagement too. In 13 days it'll be the year anniversary of when he proposed...and we still have another 13 months before we get married. I wanted a long engagement because I knew I'd be busy with other life things and I didn't want to stress about everything. We were in escrow for a new house when he proposed and I am still trying to finish up school. I am enjoying the planning, but sometimes I wish we were getting married this June so I can be done with it! : ) FI thinks it's going to be such a disappointment and let down for me after the wedding is over because I'll have put so much time into planning. I don't think it will be. I think you are right...the natual progress will take its course and regardless of how much fun I had planning, I'll be happy for it to be over with.

And I think I'll forever be watching "Say Yes to the Dress" AND "Four Weddings". I LOVE both of those shows!! : )
