August 2012 Weddings

Hi August Brides! (Added a few PIPs)

I used to be an August 18th bride, until about February, so I'm not sure if some of you will remember me or not. (We bumped up the wedding to July due to two pregnant bridesmaids.) I was around for secret santa stuff!

Anyway, we've been married just over a week now. It seriously was one of the best days of my life...I know it's cheesy and so many people say that, but it's just amazing to me how many people came together for our big day, and everyone did everything in their power to make it fabulous!

My biggest piece of advice is...it WILL work out! And if you can, let someone else handle everything you possibly can on the day of the wedding. Try to relax and let things be out of your hands. Everyone kept telling me something would go wrong, and a couple of tiny things did, but every one of them worked out. I just had to brush it off and take in everything that was going on because I didn't want to miss a moment!

Feel free to ask me any questions...congrats to you ladies! I can't believe August is just around the corner!!! I'm going to P&R for a few, but I'll be back. Our wedding was in Indiana and we just got home last night and the fridge is bare lol so I need to go grocery shopping :)

  • Congrats on being married!  I have a question for you, was there anything you found that you forgot to do for the wedding that you wish you would have done?  Fiance and I are trying to figure out if there is anything we haven't thought of

    <div>Thanks girls!</div><div>
    </div><div>Hmmm...honestly, the only thing I'm wishing would have happened were a few pictures. I had told my photographer, but he is also my uncle and I did tell him informally. I should have written it out to remind myself, of nothing else. We had these chalk board hearts that I had my cousin write "thank" and "you" on, but we totally forgot to take a picture with them :( </div><div>
    </div><div>But as far as planning something bigger that we didn't do, I can't think of a thing!</div>

    <div>I only had one couple no show, and a cousin, but I'm not sure if he had been RSVP'd yes or no. My 87 yr old great aunt had written the names on the RSVPs and we had two...one for the IN reception and one for MA, and she wrote one name on each. I think she may have been confused and he wasn't coming after all (even though I had mailed him and his wife a separate invite but they did not send their RSVP...I put him on an escort card anyway). I then realized later that there were a few other no shows...at least one child and one adult. Otherwise, I would have no more, but I found out like, the day before that a couple of other kids couldn't be there. I don't actually know our final head count, but it was around 80, if that helps. Nobody showed up that RSVP'd no, or did not send one in, though!</div>
