  • No offense OP, but I don't get the point of that at all.

  • I feel so incredibly un-hip after perusing that.
  • I'll be honest, it's really neat website design, but I feel like that couple might very well be completely insufferable.

    Well played <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" />

    Honestly, I can barely respond to that because it is so far from the point.   I agree with PP.  This couple seems insufferable.   "Look how quirky and unique we are!  Aren't we just the bestiest couple that there ever was?!"  A simple blurb in the paper will do, not an AWish over-the-top webpage chronicling their lives and meeting on match.com.

  • Haha, sorry everyone. 

    Stage, im pretty sure lucy was being sarcastic.

    And yeah i guess youre all right, they probably are a pretentious couple or whatever, but even if the site was about something else, i just really liked the design of it, that background image scroll effect is pretty cool, cmon.

  • I'll be honest here. . it's a neat idea, but I swear, Im just too lazy to put that much effort into a webpage that might be deleted after the wedding. :o)

    It's also a little too 'looky at me' like, but I'll give them credit for throwing that together.

    And for the record, I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for the insight.

  • Did anyone else read any of the text?  This couple looooves sharing very personal info.  I didn't read much, but I stumbled across September 2010 - when Jess sent Russ and link to the ring she wanted and he had to decide between paying his tuition or buying the ring.

    Why? It's totally entertaining.

    I also love how they were in the park and he turned to her and she joked "this is where you ask me to marry you!" And then he did. What?? I think my H would have asked me some other time just to spite me if I behaved like that.

    [QUOTE]OBX, where have you been? I was just thinking this board was slower than usual and when I saw your post I realized why. How's the new job?
    Posted by LucyHC[/QUOTE]

    Ahhhhh!!  I sooo miss you guys during the day!  :(  Can't get on TK at all during work and by the time I'm home, I'm exhausted!  It's great and I am really really happy that I took the chance to do something different.  Definitely a lot less stress and I just feel like a happier person all around. 

    Part of my family is coming in town on Friday and we leave Sat to go to the the beach (OBX) for a week and I am sooooooooo ready!  It feels like it's been 2 years since our annual family vacation, even though we were there last year for the wedding.  It was just a busy week and stressful at that, so we actually get to do relax this time and just enjoy it,  I am getting back in my gown though to take some pics that were missed....like me and my mom for starters!  Like really, how the eff does THAT get missed on your wedding day?  No worries, the photog is making it up to us and it's just another excuse to get in my dress again. 

    What's been going on with you lovie?  How is Mr Lucy doing?

    [QUOTE]He's doing great, thanks for asking. We're just waiting to find out whether his prospective kidney donor gets approved so we can get this show on the road. We're both tired of waiting and I'm practically tap-dancing trying to keep his spirits up. The wait is killing him. Literally.  Hey, did you ever tell us what kind of job you took? Seems like you mentioned interviewing with a surgeon at one point. Was that the new job?
    Posted by LucyHC[/QUOTE]

    I have faith that all will go well with the donor and that Mr. Lucy will have a bright bright futre with his Mrs. Lucy ;) 

    Yes, it's at an oral & facial surgery practice and I am doing medical admin.  It's a huge leap from property mgmt., but I haven't been this happy at work in a very long time!  As corny as it sounds, I really do feel inspired and motivated to go even further.  I stood in during a surgery the other day and I was thrilled that the surgeon was willing to "teach" me as he went along :) 

     

  • why is everyone so rude about this???

    I think it is awesome that these people have the generosity to help others to have clean water...

    I do not understand why people think this is ridiculous?? They are obv very creative people and the website must have took a very long time. That is amazing they have the patience to sit and come up with something like that..

    This site is freaking awesome! And I love that they are not having a registry with stupid gifts that are ridiculously priced and they will never use. It is beyaond amazing that they are willing to give up gifts for theirself to help others have nice fresh clean water that you all take for granted. !

    No, then this way the guests can see where their money will be going.. If you do not register people will be buying them gifts... Jess and Russ clearly do not want any gifts at all. This was the guests ALL know what is going on and the 50 dollars they spend on a stupid toaster will be better used going to a campaign like this.

    You seriously think that asking for donations for a third world country to help them with water needs is rude???

    It is rude to ask for gifts using a registry.. We didnt have a registry at all and the fact that these ppl are so selfless and want to help others is inspiring to me.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Cool engagement announcement.. wait, Terrible E Announcement! : You mean instead of just donating it themselves after the wedding?  That's true, but if the guest gives a check, the bride and groom can do whatever they want.  And if they didn't want gifts, all they had to do was not register. I would rather give them a check to do what they want with then be asked to give it to a certain cause, even if it's a great one.
    Posted by edielaura[/QUOTE]

    Well your quite odd then... Whats your reason for not wanting to donate to here??

    And not registering does not always mean you will not get gifts. We did not register anywhere and ppl still bought us a crap load of gifts..
