October 2012 Weddings

A few random wedding things from my day

FI and I went to Men's Warehouse a few weeks ago and set up tuxedos for the wedding.  After talking to a few friends and readng reviews online, I've found they aren't the best option.  I prefer local places, but FI's father lives an hour away and 2 groomsmen live 1 1/2 to 2 hours away, so I didn't think this would work.  Today, I went to a local place and the man was so friendly and helpful.  He told me that it would be no problem with OOT groomsmen to get tuxes and he could even open early the day of the wedding to ensure their tuxes are perfect (I do know they are accommodating as my brother used them last year for his wedding).  They are a little more expensive than MW and FI is unsure about it.  I just need the piece of mind knowing everything will be correct.

Our wedding rings are ready and we are picking them up on Saturday.  I cannot wait to see what the woman did with my ring.  I wanted a Hearts on Fire ring, so I gave her the model number, asked her to use less diamonds, but make them bigger.  She told FI it looks amazing.

I sent out invites on Monday and FI mother and sisters received them today.  I went on Facebook to find my invitation on one sister's page with me tagged and on my FMIL's page.  I asked them to take it down.  FMIL did and apologized.  FSIL did, but with an attitude.  Am I wrong to not want my invitation on Facebook, with me tagged, when there are a number of "friends" who assumed they are being invited, but aren't? (People I've lost touch with over the years beside FB contact and assumed because we were BFF in college that they'd be invited to my wedding)  When I politely asked them to take the the invites, I said I would prefer if people who were not invited did not know the details of my day.  I know his family is excited, but come on!

  • I am personally using Men's Warehouse only bc of decent prices and the SUPER helpful sales guy-i know i know thats what hes paid for lol (my fiance was in a mood where he didnt care what he got he just said "honey you go figure what you think i should wear and work your fancy magic of getting me something great for waaay cheaper than I could get it and i'll be very happy"!
    Your ring sounds wonderful! please please please post a pic when you can! About the invite thing on FB i am 1000% behind you on that one! Aside from the fact that ppl you are not inviting to the wedding will see it-people you don't even know might decide to crash the wedding or something (i'm probably overly paranoid lol) but invites have personal info on them that you may not want everyfriend of a friend of a friend to see!

  • We also are using Men's Wearhouse.  We were able to find a tux we liked for a reasonable price, and the salesman was very helpful.

    Your ring does sound very pretty.  I am picking up our wedding bands tomorrow - yay!

    And I definately do not think you are over-reacting to the invitation on Facebook thing.  I wouldn't want my invites posted for everyone to see either.
