I guess you can say I am new. I joined the knot when my son got married last year, but started lurking again when I got engaged in December. I am 43 and my Fiance is 55. We are getting married on Oct 13, 2012. We have both been married before. I originally expected us to elope or have a tiny ceremony, but we are now looking at 40 guests, a church ceremony and a nice reception. The planning has me excited but a bit frazzled!!
Counting the days until I marry the man of my dreams.

Re: Hi Everyone!
Voila ...
I havent picked my shoes yet. I am dying to go shoe shopping!
The dress I bought was a sample dress. I got a tremendous deal!! It will need to be hemmed even with the highest heels, so I am going to just find the perfect shoes and hem the dress to work with the shoes.
Oneday12, I am freaking out too!!! My fiance thinks we have so much time and wonders why I am in such a rush to make decisions and get things done.....I think we have so little time and we need to get it huurrrryyyy! LOL
I think the cake will be just a small one. Does everyone do an extra layer to save the top layer? We are planning cake testing in the next couple of weeks.
Lucyhc and dotdash, here are my 4 legged babies--
This is the real Lady Daisy, my Chinese Crested Powderpuff:
And this is Jasmine, my Hairless Chinese Crested:
I also have 4 kids, the youngest of which is 17, and my fiance also has a 22 yr old son.
We are doing a church wedding, which I am very excited about and we then also found such a nice place for our reception.
I feel crazy to be so excited over a wedding at my age!!
