April 2013 Weddings

Fellow April 6th-ers

4 months to the day!!!! I can't believe it, 4 months will fly by. I'm kind of terrified because I really need to get in gear and lose the 10lbs I've recently gained, just so everything fits right! It's plenty of time, but still- scary lol.

Anyone else have some major goals they want to accomplish in the 4 months we have left before we all become wives??

  • I'm April 20th so I have a couple of extra weeks, but I hope to try to get some killer arms so they look good in a strapless dress.  I started working out 2 weeks ago so I just gotta keep it up!

    And I'll be moving in with FI when we get married so I've got to start packing when I have free time!

    I have spent most of today worried sick that there are only 4 months left and half my bridesmaids haven't ordered their dresses! I have no idea what to do. Two of them have been telling me for weeks "I'll do it this week." Another one hasn't responded to any calls/texts in over a week. Help?! I hate being a nag, but every time they tell me I'll do it this week and don't, I feel the need to ask the next week!
  • I'm not an April 6th-er but I'm an April 7th-er - can I count?

    I'd like to get back into our sit-up/push-up routine, that we were really good about for about 2 months, then a whole lot of shiz went down in our lives and we stopped. I'd like to get back to it.

    Other than that, just get ready for the wedding and make it happen. I'm actually at a really happy blissful stage right now. The big wedidng stuff is out of the way, the fun little stuff is to come. We live together, so no stress there (and we've decided to stay 2 more years in our apartment and reanalyze then...our apartment is pretty sweet so we're happy). Christmas is coming, and we're baptizing my nephew (we're the godparents) after Christmas so I'm super excited about that (plus - seeing baby's first christmas...he's going to be 7 months, so I'm sure the wrapping paper will be the best part but...still...pretty awesome). New Years will be with FBIL and FSIL seeing Louis CK in concert which will be awesome. Life feels pretty dang good right now :)

    I actually haven't asked my BMs if they've ordered dresses...wonder if I should do that at some point...think I can just find out via David's Bridal? I hate being a pest.
  • Hey, it's 4 months for you today von! And yes, I think you can find out through David's Bridal if they ordered their dress. lpick- can you order the dresses for them and have them pay you back so you know for sure they are ordered? Or maybe have them over for a lunch soon and order them together?

  • My goal is to get a dress. It is terrible that I haven't bought one yet. Shame on me.

  • Still have to sort out flower girl dresses, menswear and lose 10-15 pounds...... Man my seamstress really pulled my dress in tight so if I want to be able to sit to eat at the wedding I better get cracking,
  • I live in Washington DC and the remaining girls live in Dallas. (1 ordered today--yay!!)
    I've offered one to order for her, and she assures me she'll go today or tomorrow, but I've heard it before. The last straggler, well, if she doesn't get in touch with me by this weekend I might have to cut her from the wedding. I hate to do that, but I've sent so many texts/emails (every time Alfred Angelo had a sale on BM dresses I sent to them as a reminder but also so they could get the discount), and last time I DID talk to her she was like "I need to get that done, they're at David's Bridal, right?" SERIOUSLY!!! I'm just sick of worrying about this, to the point that it just makes me sad my friends aren't dependable. :(

    Yes! 4 months today! I'm so excited. Why isn't it here yet? :)

    And thanks for the DB tip...maybe I'll try calling them. I'm pretty sure my girls have gotten the dresses (they all tried them on in record time!) so I don't want to be a nag if it's not necessary.

    Eek! No dress? But wait.. are you getting married in April? It says 9 months on your ticker - that's plenty of time. If April- hit up David's Bridal- you can get a dress pretty fast there!

  • I still have to find a DJ and plan the litle details in the wedding...My reception dress came in yesterday!!! YAYYYYY! It will need altered so add that to the to-do list..I'm still working on Invitations so thats the biggest project I have RIGHT NOW!!!
  • anyone have the farmers almanc for the weather on April 6th?
  • I REALLY need to get his butt in gear, mens wear, rehearsal dinner, first dance song, finding an apartment, taking care of his sister, finding a second job, and getting my dress altered all come to mind, but ultimatley INVITATIONS need to come first, im sending my STD tomorrow, well most of them. 

    than after christmas, I need to finalize my flowers, and get in touch with my one bridesmaid who wont aswer my calls, texts, or emails. At this point I'm ready to start sending her smoke signals!!
