    originally I was planning on doing our vow renewal THIS YEAR as it is our 18th wedding anny but instead I concentrated on celebrating milestone b-days for my oldest son (16th on Feb 9), my DH (40 on March 6) and me (40th on July 5)...I'm now sorta burnt out on party planning so I'm taking a break until the first of the year to start back up with planning our vow renewal celebration...oh and I love all things weddings, I love to decorate and I absolutely love PEACOCKS...mmmk, that's it...LOL!

    Miss2mrs- Hell I wish I could cut my guestlist down myself. Girl only thing I can tell you is to try and cut out all the ppl you haven't talked to in 6mths. Then see where you are at? If you have less than your target number then add back a few more ppl. I decided that my single friend/family cant bring a guest. HTH

    Date? 9/2/2012 - trust me I will need all the time I can get to plan it

    Any other info you want to share? Finishing up RN degree, with graduation set for 12/2011. Trying to balance school, work, kids and fiance until then. Wedding will be large since FI's side of guest list is over 125 (large family). Wedding is the talk of the family on both sides even though we don't have any details to share except that it will be at Disney World.
