I would love to have groomals of David! LMAO! that word is really funny to me.Another reason I want to do bridals is it gives the photographer a chance to see if he needs to change anything when photographing me because of my dress/hair/makeup whatever. Plus it gives you an idea of how you will look in your wedding pictures...the hair and makeup you think looks awesome in person may need to be tweaked a bit to look awesome on camera too. Just my thoughts on that anyways. Or if you don't like the back of your hair or how your train falls or your bustle or something silly like that. But I am basically getting mine for free because my photog is a family friend he is charging me 2/3 the price for e-pics or a bridal session and I am getting both.
I have to disagree...If they were fabric or special markers, I think they would have made sure we knew about it. Sometimes I wonder if their stuff sells when I look at for sale items and they are really expensive! If I am going to pay alot of money for something, I would rather buy it brand new myself. IMO
Maybe they were something she used at a kiddo table. If she has no kids there is no reason for her to keep them, another bride that is planning on a kiddo table will find those useful.
I didn't do bridals for the reasons mentioned. I just felt weird having a picture of me without Colton since the wedding was about both of us, but I love looking at them. I think they are beautiful. After doing TTD pics, I can totally understand why people want them. Its nice to wear it as much as possible. lol
I am glad people put small/trivial things on their "for sale" blogs. I bought 16 envelopes from the Brides collection from a Bride in Ohio off Trash to Treasure for 3 bucks. If she had not put those up for sale, I'd have had to go to Michael's and spend $40 on another invite kit just for 16 envelopes because I was short. I also can't wait to do bridals! I've dreamed of my wedding day since I was a kid and I want to have as many pics of my dress and me in it as I can.Lastly, I can't wait to change my last name to Justin's.
I like looking at them, too, everyone always looks so pretty! I do think it's a little strange to look at pictures of a bride without a groom, though. The thing I think is the most ridiculous is when someone has pictures from engagements, bridals, boudoir, the wedding day, and TTD! That's a little excessive to me. I'd rather pay more money for a really top-notch photographer for the wedding day than have to spread it out over so many sessions.
I like my current last name (which is my old married name) better than my soon to be married name. And I dread changing it. It just simply sounds better. Plus for the first time ever, I will have to change my initials since my maiden name and old married name both started with H.
I don't really think people are scouring over people's bios for markers. Just chalk it up as a loss and throw them away if you have no room or give it to the kids that used them. There is no reason to sell them IMO.
Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping or changing your last name when married. I think it's personal preference and I can see both sides. I actually have a lot of respect for women who decide to keep their last name.
I had engagements, boudoir, wedding, and TTD pics. Plus family pics for our first Christmas cards and I had an excellent photographer. If you have the money/time/desire...I say do it. I love ALL my pictures and wouldn't have done it any other way.
Lindsay I'm so sorry! Cancer sucks and kids's cancer is the worst. If they don't try make a wish, they should try Kidd's Kids to get another chance to go to Disney.
Don't get me wrong - I also think if you have time, money, etc. to do all those pictures then run with it! I just don't think it's what I want. But, like I said, maybe I'll change my mind as it gets closer to the wedding. I'm still 15 months out, I might feel like I'm missing something if I don't do all the other stuff too.
I felt weird changing my name as well. But I think I'm starting to get used to it. Not only was it a lot of work to change every account or bill I have, but I felt like the "old me" was going to be forgotten or somehow I wouldn't be the same person. It sounds silly as I type it, but it's like part of your identity is just gone. Plus I am going from a very uncommon last name to a very common last name that literally every Vietnamese person in the world has. And when I went to the doctor a while ago, the lady that called me back to the examination room seemed really shocked when she saw that I was not Asian, and she even double checked she had the right person. Yes, I'm white. My husband is Vietnamese. It's really not that complicated.

I didn't do bridals because of extenuating circumstances, but you can bet your a$$ I'm doing ttd's! I don't really plan to do much trashing, but I'm excited to do bridals knowing that if anything gets messed up, it's no big deal.
Even though I've agreed to change my name (it will take me a while - I'm lazy), I know the old me will never be forgotten because for some odd reason DH likes calling me by my last name when we're being casual. Probably has something to do with his theory of our relationship - "It's like a buddy cop movie, except with sweet sweet lovin."
I'll never give blood again unless someone I know is in seirous need. Ever. I was poked in both arms before doing it and proceeded to pass out afterwards (even though I had breakfast)... I'm changing my last name because mine is difficult and I can't wait to get rid of it. Doesn't have anything to do with my identity. I love bridals and will do them for sure, and display them for sure....but when I see them on an easel at a wedding it always reminds me of a funeral. Also, wedding dresses seem to make people look big. I've been looking at pictures online and otherwise non-overweight people look overweight in many of them.
While I would think about doing this and then decide not to, this is such a cute idea since the whole first dance into baby got back etc is gaining popularity.[url]<a href="http://tinyurl.com/ljpsw8" rel='nofollow'>http://tinyurl.com/ljpsw8</a>[/url]
Tiffany, I agree with the wedding dress thing. I have seen many pictures of brides and all I can think about is Princess Fiona. Now when I try on my dress my mom says a quote from Shrek. Its pretty funny because she has a different one every time. You can't really cry at how beautiful you look when your mom is singing "Welcom to Duloc, such a perfect town..."
Since I last complained about the dog upstairs on Tuesday, I literally have not heard a peep from the dog or the people stomping around! Perhaps they took a vacation... maybe a couple weeks! Sigh, here's to wishful thinking!
