    [QUOTE]Not a *HUGE* deal bc nothing was set in stone (translation: no contracts signed, no money put down)... I was a bit disapointed bc the date, 7 Aug 2010, is our 3.5 yr anniversary, so it did have special meaning to me. However, Toby's mother is a school teacher and just called with her new school year schedule and with our date she wouldnt be able to travel from Guam. Obviously, not having his mother there is silly just to keep our date. One good thing so far about the date change is that the venue we originally looked at is available in July while Aug 7 was already booked. I am soooo excited and plan on seeing Loulu Palms this week :-D I am however irritated with one of his aunts bc as soon as I put out the July date she responded that she had already made reservations at a hotel for the Aug date. I have not sent out Save the Dates and I have made it clear that August was the *month* we were shooting for. NEVER did I state that anything was set in stone .... I guess I shouldnt worry about any of this as it wasnt my mistake, and lets face it: as a bride I have a lot of other stuff on my plate

  • LOL I thought it was a person or something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I heard that it's illegal to get married on any date that is not your half anniversary. Kind of like marrying your cousin. I think you'll also increase the chances that your baby will have webbed feet.

  • I find it funny that a 3.5 anniversary has meaning to the OP.  I do not even know our dating anniversary, let alone a half one.

    Maybe the OP can pick the same date in July so it could be her 3 and 5/12 year anniversary.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • Who the eff counts a half anniversary as anything unless you are in middle school?

    We have a guest who sends flowers to his wife on the 12th of every month for the last 20+ years.  Even on vacation. That was the date they got married.

    <div>I'm pretty sure I could buy some really nice stuff for the cost of flowers 12 times a year for 20 years.</div>

  • I grew up with a girl that got a full party and presents on her real birthday and her half birthday. I hated her.

    Even sillier?  My grandmother used to buy my cousins and I "un-birthday" presents when it was one of the others' birthday so we wouldn't feel slighted.  Seriously?

  • TR - My parents did that too. They still do it with my son and my dad's son. I've never understood it either.

    My grandfather tried to do that with us.  My parents said absolutely not.

    My friend's boyfriend used to do that. His longest relationship before her was about 2 months. After 7 months he basically said, "Ok, this is dumb."

    OMG!!  That Aunt is being soooooooooooo rude!! You know what? You should call her and tell her she is UNinvited!!!


    --Is that what you were after? I could throw in some curse words?

    How about you email the aunt and apologize that she made her plans early and that it is very important to (FI) to have his mother (her sister?) there and that you hope she will be able to change her hotel reservation.

    I'm a quasi-lurker, but that doens't seem that difficult of an issue.

    Well, lurker, you're much better than me- I couldn't actually see the 'issue' in the OP's post to begin with.
  • This isn't really relevant to this board (does it matter?) but september's bride, that picture in your sig is gorgeous :)
