Ahh the goldfish thread was highly entertaining, thanks for posting that yesterday Brianna. Although if I had mentioned it to my DH before our wedding he probably would have said "Yes! We have to have goldfish!!" Everytime he comes home with a Petsmart bag I am afraid to ask because its usually a new fish.. ugh.

Just from what I hear from you girls, there are quite a few people out there who feel that showing the "+" on the pee stick is an awesome way to announce you're pregnant to the world. Gosh, I guess I'm going to be really lame if and when it ever happens to us. "I'm going to have a baby." Yeah, I guess I can live with being lame.

My friend just got married and she was pregnant. She didn't tell everyone at the wedding (she's four months along) but she did wait until the wedding to find out the sex of the baby. The day before she had her ultrasound. The technician wrote the sex on a piece of paper and gave it to her grandmother, who was making her cake. She tinted the bottom layer of the cake blue or pink so that when they cut into the cake they would find out the sex in front of everyone. I thought it was cute.

Brianna,
She is dumb, she is so dumb. You can run and tell that.

I think that is cute! I just don't want to see someone's pee stick...

Tiffany618 · February 2011

I think the cake thing is cute at a pink or blue party, but not at a wedding. Especially if the guests don't know about the pregnancy.

Sorry, I just don't think it is the time or place. Your right though, better than a pee stick.

[QUOTE]If the engagement is supposed to be the happiest time of your life, what do you call it when you're finally married? Have a kid? See the kid score his first goal or at her first dance recital? See them graduate? See them get married? I was happy during my engagement but I sure wouldn't have called it the happiest day of my life. May 9, 2009 has been the happiest day of my life so far. I know that others will come though. And priorities, people, have some.
Posted by juliebug1997[/QUOTE]

YES!! The last 6 months being married to DH have been 10000000x better than being engaged in the "happiest times of my life" department.

NMac2010 · February 2011

Stephie- LOVE IT. That made me tear up a little. Personally I think telling people you're pregnant at your wedding would steal the thunder away from getting married. The rest of your life will be about that child. The wedding day is about the two of you. Let it be that.

serlace · February 2011

I think the post about budgets was a bit much. I think it started out "All the small stuff really adds up and is a struggle to keep up with - financially". But, then she went into, " Well there is no fluff and I can only cut the cake, invitations, rings, photography, etc.". That was a bit dramatic.

You either have to cut your guest list, cut other expenses or push your wedding date out. I agree with Julie when she said (in a different thread), that you don't have to have a wedding to get married.

Get real and either figure out how to make it work or figure out what your going to do instead of what your doing now.

NMac2010 · February 2011

I have no idea what y'all are talking about as far as announcing pregnancies but I agree with the stick. Especially via facebook. Tacky. I do want to come up with a creative way to tell our family when we have a baby though. It won't involve urine.

NMac2010 · February 2011

TK is acting weird. SteObie I LOVE that idea. Announcing you're pregnant at your wedding to me would take away from the fact that you just got married. The rest of your life will be all about that child. The wedding day us about the two of you. Let it be that.

ScarletandDavid · February 2011

I wouldn't say being engaged is the happiest time of my life either. There is so much dang drama about this wedding that I am fed up. I would say when our children were born were the happiest times, buying our new house, etc. Those were happy times. But being engaged... not so much. I think I will be glad when its over so we can start this chapter of our life. I know at first I was so excited when he proposed but once we started planning the wedding....the excitement is over, lets just get married already lol

serlace · February 2011

I tried posting, but TK won't post. So, I am off to lunch. I retyped my post twice, so if it eventually pops up a couple of times, I'm sorry.

I got pregnant in May and I told my dad by giving him a "Grandpa" card on Father's Day.

This is a little OT but I'll never forget seeing a blog on Lynn Michelle's site where a woman told her husband she just wanted to do a post-wedding photo shoot and she whispered it in his ear during and Lynn got his reaction. I thought that was just beautiful. Then she had a sign that they both posed with that said "We're having a baby."

serlace · February 2011

Maybe I'm boring, but if/when we are pregnant, we'll probably just tell people. No sticks, no cakes, nothing.

[QUOTE]Bobbileigh - YES! To be quite frank, if you are not mature and responsible enough as a couple to budget for & plan for a wedding ... then it might be a good idea to hold off on getting married anyway. Why? Perhaps because "real life" is certainly not going to treat you any better. There will be unemployment, unexpected expenses, emergencies etc. and they aren't going to come at convenient times. You have to learn to deal, cut, and make sacrifices. If you can't do that for your wedding then you won't be able to do it in life. Just sayin'.
Posted by Tiffany618[/QUOTE]

I agree with this 100% that is why I didnt even comment yesterday on that post. Matt is still unemployed, my windshield cracked this week, my mom needed surgery. Sh*t happens, if you cant deal with it now you wont be able to later!

As far as having happier moments in life. I think I will have happier periods, such as being a newlywed but we have no intention of having children so as far as one specific day, I am hoping my wedding will be the happiest.

Posted by brooke.anne[/QUOTE]

Brooke.anne--Can you have them install a chain or other kind of lock that only locks from the inside? After a year or two we finally asked our landlords to do this, and I feel a lot better knowing some dude isn't going to barge into the apartment to change our lightbulbs while I'm taking a shower. Our landlords were really cool about it--I don't know how your apartment management is, but they should have no reason not to do it.

I don't know if this is directed at Bethlovesjim or not, but to be fair I don't think she was saying that she expected her parents to pay for the wedding. I think she was just saying that she was disappointed that her mom said she was going to pay for the dress and then didn't. I think there's a difference between being upset that your parents aren't helping out and being upset that your parents offered to do something so you were counting on it and then they didn't follow through.

Merritt - I think we were just talking about overall lack of maturity and responsibility.

To be fair though, I think even ladies whose parents pay for their whole wedding should have to budget. It's good life experience.

Budget doesn't mean cheap... despite what everyone seems to think. It means making a financial plan and sticking to it. No matter how big or small it is.

Yes!!
My father is paying and I could not imagine just going crazy because it's someone else's money and not my own.
I'm even cheaper with someone else's money than my own...I think doing otherwise is just rude/inconsiderate.
