Anyone around for an Evening Thread?

Re: Anyone around for an Evening Thread?

  • That is pretty special, Musu.  It's like having the Queen acknowlege you.  Daff and Midge were the first regs to really talk to me.

    I think I only had like 150 posts when I first introducted myself... via my very own intro thread, which I now know are considered lame, lol. But people were nice and told me to jump in and start posting, especially in the chit chat threads. I think Loopy, Eagles and that NYCFoodieBride were the first people I talked to... although NYC hasn't been seen since that FFF where she told everyone her fiance often likes to say the "n" word and people were like, wtf, why are you marrying him?

  • oooooh, i forgot about that one, Angel!  I hadn't noticed that she's not been back since then. That one was a cluster.

    ...not as good as the Cindy FFF though.

    I missed this... I don't know if it was before my time or I just didn't read, but either way, I missed it. Who is she and what happened?

  • Haha that is a good way to describe it, MUNI. I did feel very special. I was happy when Steph made up my nickname too because i hated that people would either call me my full SN or 'musical' and that is a lot to type, hah.

  • oh, Cindy was so special.  She was from Long Island and had 26 passed hors douvres at her wedding and if she couldn't have provided for that for her guests, she would have just eloped.  And she went down in FLAMES and was banned after getting into a fight with pretty much everyone when she got flamed hard for coming into a thread where OP asked "hey, i can't afford food during cocktail hour, what should i do?" and she came in and talked about her Long Island cocktail hour and how they do it in Long Island and how if you aren't from Long Island, then your wedding is tacky as shiit.
  • I'm never in tim efor the FFFs. Which is sad because they sound epic. 
  • Getting a nickname was pretty exciting for me too, honestly.  Midge nicknamed me.

    Wow she sounds like a peach. Although I'm going to have 30 to 40 butlered hors douvres at my wedding so.... ;P

  • Poke, they are either epic or we end up talking about tea parties and Hunger Games by page three.  There seems to be no middle ground.
  • Yeah thank god you got one too, MUNI. Your SN is too long too haha.

  • People have pretty much called me Angel from the getgo. Edie once called me Astar, haha.
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • Also, Angel, I just noticed that your wedding is in January. I quite approve of that. ;) I had a January wedding too.

  • Yeah, Musu, TK forced me to enter a username back in 2010 when I was trying to read something and I was like "whatever, I'm NEVER GOING TO USE THESE BOARDS"  

    ...2k plus posts later...

  • If I'd known I was going to use message boards, I don't know that I would have used my 13 year old girl SN but oh well.

    Musu - You're seriously the only other person I've come across that had or is having a January wedding... evidently nobody gets married in January. It works though, I've had my pick of vendors so far. It's also a Friday, so literally nobody else is getting married that day, haha.

    Haha yay for Jan weddings! Mandysmear had a Jan wedding a few years ago. I wanted pretty snow pictures. It was 45 degrees and sunny. :( I had a Friday wedding too! It is definitely nice to have the pick of the vendors, I hear ya.

  • The only reason I am not having a winter wedding is because I want to have an outdoor ceremony - and winters in GA are way too unpredictable for that.

    I am actually annoyed that I am having a June wedding. But that was the best time for his family to make it over. Oh well.
  • I'm soooo afraid we'll get a blizzard and nobody will be able to make it. My friend had her wedding in early February in 2010 and we got a huge snowstorm... I think 1/3 of her guests didn't make it. That best not happen to me. I would love a light snow for pictures, but that's it. I don't know how many outside pics we'll get anyway.. the ceremony starts at 5 and it'll probably be dark or almost dark by the time it's over.
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • Have you thought about doing a first look, Angel?  
  • We'll do a "don't blizzard" dance for you when it gets closer to the time : p

    I've wanted a winter wedding for as long as I can remember. December 8, 2012 had been my dream wedding date since before I was even with FI. Yeah, I'm kind of weird. We couldn't get that date though, apparently December is a popular month, but January is not at all.

    Yeah, but honestly, I really don't want to. I really want to be traditional and have the first time we see each other be when I'm walking down the aisle. I know most people who do the first look end up saying they're soo glad they did, but it's just not for me.
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • I'm pretty excited to do a first look.  We'll be able to get all of the super dramatic posed shots we want without feeling pressed for time.

    Also, my first wedding was in January.  But it was in Florida, so clearly I didn't get snow.  It was 70 degrees.
  • I don't think I knew you were married before, Muni.

    Poke - Yes, go online and learn some "no snow" dances so you can be ready when it's time :)
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • We did a first look so we ended up having lots of outside pictures in the light. Of course, the 45 degree weather made the pictures much more bearable as well, haha. The winter prior to this one, we had over 40 inches of snow by the same time. We had NOTHING on the ground this year. I was a little heartbroken about it, but in the end I still love my photos.

    We did pictures as a group starting at 3 since the sun was to set at 4:30. We had the ceremony at 7 and took several more pictures afterward outside just the two of us during cocktail hour. The only reason we did that is because our venue was right next to the downtown park that has tons of Christmas lights on all the trees still. I love those photos.

  • I didn't think I was gonna like seeing J before walking down the aisle. I still got all wobbly and emotional as I walked anyway. ;) It was pretty hilarious when I tapped J on the shoulder and he turned around. He was like "Whoaaaa." It was adorable.

    <div>We're doing a first look. FI has already seen me in my dress. He's really not very sentimental whereas I am a hopeless romantic. I know this - and I know that I will be slightly disapointed if he doesn't get all teary eyed when he sees me in my dress for the first time. So I showed it to him to avoid that disapointment. My mom will be disapointed that we're doing a first look, but she can GTF over it : p</div>
