Hi - This is my first original post - but I have been lurking for quite a while. Just wanted to say "hi" and introduce myself. This is my second wedding, his first. My first husband passed away in 2005 - I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks later. I have a wonderful son - now 4 years old. Fiance' doesn't have children (other than mine now, of course..). I was scared to actually start dating again, especially with having a child. I am absolutely blessed to have found a man who actually looks forward to being his father. My son is as lucky as me!
We are getting married on 9/24/11 at Lake Tahoe CA (we live in Reno).
We have the venue and DJ so far, and I am checking into photographers (wow, are they expensive...). Now that we are actually making plans and paying deposits, it is starting to seem "real", if that makes sense. Exciting (kind of scary)!
Oh, and last weekend I found and ordered my dress!! I love it. I just hope it doesn't make me look like I'm trying to be a teenager (I'm 43, fiance' is 40).
Anyway, I have definitely gotten a lot of good advice from you ladies, and wanted to say thanks. I'm sure I'll be writing again in the future, as the stresses of all of this planning are taking their toll!!
