Let's keep it interesting

I read this board nearly every day for tips and tricks and to see what is the latest with Houston weddings. It's gotten kind of bland lately...I don't usually comment much but thought we could try to spice it up around here.

So, what are you all looking forward to most about your wedding? And what are you doing to make your big day more special and unique to you?

    yeah we've had this discussing before (about it slowing down).
    Too many brides just want to talk about the usual wedding questions, and too many people get their feelings hurt by others' opinions. :-\

    I"m looking forward to paying it off in Sept!!! Aside from that our tastings are this summer. And the day of... Just walking down the aisel. The thought of this makes my heart race.
    I'm so glad we got a DOC b/c I think this will give us the opportunity to be carefree and enjoy ourselves the way we see fit. :)

    A few weeks ago when we were doing the different questions everyday got people talking. Maybe we should try something along those lines again?

    My wedding was back in February, but we did a lot to make things special and unique to us. I didn't want to have a generic wedding because anybody can do that. We added little touches from a custom cake topper (because you can't find a cake topper for a male with long hair), to handmade centerpieces and invitations. We just inserted ourselves in any way we could and people are still coming up to us, now almost 4 months later telling us how "us" the wedding was.

    And now we are as one

    Well, my wedding is still almost 2 years away, so I'm sure I'll be more active in asking for advice in recs later on.

    But I'm most looking forward to the wedding ceremony itself.  My FI and I are devout Catholics, and I just cannot wait to kneel at the altar with him and receive communion for the first time as husband and wife.

    Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my ideal image of the reception, the food, the music, the centerpieces, etc.... I keep forgetting just how amazing it will be to say our vows and be married!

    As for how we want to make it special... for the most part, we're trying to keep it simple.  Very traditional catholic ceremony.  We want an elegant, but simple reception, but with lots of people and lots of dancing!  Just a night of fun.  

    FI is an artist, so he's actually going to sculpt cute wedding toppers with our likenesses.  We'll probably end up putting them on the groomscake though, and just keep the wedding cake elegant and simple.  

    If he has the time, I may get him to design our wedding invitations too, with some neat drawing or something.  

    We also are super picky about the music.  We hate a lot of typical songs played at weddings ("we are family," "celebration" etc.) and we really prefer a lot of indie or pop songs that have meaning to us.  The challenge will be finding a DJ that is willing to work with an extensive list of "Play" and "Do not play"

    We'd also like to set up a wall or table of various pictures of our families and us.  Just some stuff people can look at if they want to (but don't have to).

    Now I'm rambling.  :)

    These are all awesome ideas!
    I love when couples really try to make it unique and not the cookie-cutter wedding typical stuff.
    When we got engaged, the first thing I decided was the throw the "rule book" out the window. There's no right way to do anything really, as long as it fits what you want, then it's perfect!

    I'm looking forward to seeing 1 1/2 year worth of planning coming together. But most importantly having our family and friends witness us make a commitment to each other before God.

    FI and I did not have a perfect dating experience and we made it through a lot of ups and downs. We are both happy to celebrate our hard work!


    I disagree when people say it is only one day and don't make a big deal of it. IMHO, it is a great BIG deal. To find someone that loves you as much as you love them and wants to be legally bound to you. Not everyone finds this.
