LOL I probably should have just sent a text, but since we were here, I figured why not.
Brandi- Yes we've moved, but we put in a change of address so it should be sent here.
Rachers- No, we did not do pics IN the water, but BY the water. I just accidentally went in. We actually did them at Garvan Gardens by one of those waterfalls.

Well, "I hope they'd want to spend the day together" is way different than "I hope they'll AT LEAST get their nails done for my wedding". So, yeah.

Oh the flucking napkins. Yeah at that point I could not have given less of a flying rat's rotting ass. My mom kept asking to see all these different ways they could be folded and OMG MOM, THEY ARE STUPID NAPKINS. WHO CARES.

Sorry, I'm about to fall into post-lunch food coma. My writing isn't very clear. :)
When I found out Brandi was engaged I sent her a text telling her to come here. She told me she was already signed up so I figured I'd run into her sooner or later. Seeing her post actually made me post quite a bit more. I've lurked for an embarrassing amount of time.
1. I too would probably quietly GBCK. I'm sure there must be someone on here I know... and if you recognize me please do me a favor and don't tell me.
2. Napkins? I'm supposed to be caring about napkins? Something people wipe remaining crumbs and sauce off of their faces with? No. I refuse to care about napkins or the place settings in general. Seriously, I doubt anyone gives two hoots about whether they had a square silver plate vs a round white plate.

Well, clearly that can't be true. Since the bride is a wedding "photographer" (yes, the quotes are necessary) she'd have known better.
We have this like 7 page long questionnaire to fill out on the particulars of our wedding for the venue. It covers EVERYTHING and scares the shiiit out of me.

I didn't even know until the night before the wedding how I was going to do my makeup. Luckily my SIL stepped in and worked her magic. I just wanted to get the wedding over with.
It would depend on who was on if I stuck around. And depending on the person, I'd totally stalk them to see how they posted.

The only thing I cared about with the napkins was that they weren't white or ivory - beyond that, they're freakin napkins. Please just make sure they're clean and on the table somewhere.
lbarr, I've seen one or two gorgeous TTD photo sessions but I much prefer the Rock the Dress ones.
Why is everyone using the term UN now? For the longest time people refered to it as a SN, but all of a sudden changed.
Also. More with the flamable confessions, less with the wedding recap talk.
As large of a wedding as we wanted, I am secretly glad only a little over 50% of the people we invited are coming. We are saving so much money this way. And the thought of a 400-guest wedding was kind of scary. I'm sure our wedding date is what we have to thank for such a low acceptance rate. That and a vast majority of FI's extended family is out of state.
