Pa Brides & Wives

[Becki]

I know there have to be some other brides in the northeastern part of PA, so come on in and share your location and details :)

I'm getting married in Stroudsburg at Stroudsmoor. Anyone else????

[Poloke]

Me! Me!

I'm Paula- we are getting married in Hazleton, PA. FH is from Scranton, I'm from Bethlehem but have family in Hazleton.

We're getting married at a lovely all inclusive site with English gardens. I can't wait.

Hope to see more NEPA brides!!!

[Poloke]

where is septbride? she is from our area too!

[septbride]

Here I am!
I'm Beth and we are getting married at the Quality Inn & Suites in Pottsville.
Can't wait to share ideas with everyone!

[Poloke]

WOOO HOOO septbride made it.... my date twin diva!!

[septbride]

Wouldn't miss it miss_sparky :)

[Poloke]

Beckii- How is your planning going? you are coming up fast on the wedding! Getting excited? Nervous?

[septbride]

This doesn't seem to be picking up miss sparky :(

[Poloke]

I know.... I know.... ugh, what can we do?

[septbride]

Thats a tough one, it seems we aren't a very popular area :lol:

[Poloke]

Thats a change from the norm! On the "other" site it was a pretty booming area... meh, well, more for us! LOL

[angie]

Maybe the "northeastern" part could be cut out for more visitors?;)

[Poloke]

Yup angie i think you are right! Just "PA" brides!

[septbride]

The more the merrier! :)

[Poloke]

alright, so how do we go about this? do we appeal to beckii since she started the thread OR to a MOD? I don't wanna piss anyone off

[septbride]

I would talk to Beckii first!

[Poloke]

Beckii?

:tumbleweed:

[septbride]

No luck huh?

[Poloke]

nah no luck... what should i do? PM her?

[septbride]

either that, or just change it!!!!

[Poloke]

i PM'ed her , so lets give her til wednesday to reply....if she doesn't then I will ask tanya...if that is ok w/ everyone?

[Becki]

Ok, so I'm an idiot. I started this thread and then for some reason it didn't make it on my subsciption list, so I never noticed anyone posting. That of course meant I haven't looked at it since the day I started it :caught:


Oooops.

I didn't want anyone to think I was ignoring them. I really wasn't... I'm just an idiot sometimes :goofy:

[septbride]

Well it's great to see your back!!!

[Becki]

So anyway... now that I'm here, what'd I miss?

[septbride]

Not too much, someone suggested changing the name of the thread to just pa brides to get more visitors!

[Becki]

I guess I should explain the original title. Since I live in Florida and am getting married in Stroudsburg, PA I always like to meet up with other people who might be in that area. I know a little about the area since my parents live across the border in NJ and I went to college in Bethlehem. So that was the original reason behind the title.

Of course, if we can get more PA brides here then that'll make me happy so I happily changed the title :floating:


I just noticed that although I changed the title of the thread, it is showing up the same as before. Any ideas?

[septbride]

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with many of the options on here. I can't help you out, but I'm sure miss sparky can, whenever she decides to join us again!!!! She is the best

[Poloke]

Aww thanks beth!

Um, beckii... maybe you should ask a MOD (*Tanya*) what to do...if worse comes to worse, start a new thread w/ PA brides... and ask for this whole thing to be deleted. I know there are a few more ladies from out lancaster/ hershey way that i have seen around and would love to invite them in and have a big ol' happy bunch of PA brides goin'. :)

[septbride]

Ok, nothing was changed yet! How is everyone doing??? Really don't want this thread to die yet :)

[Poloke]

Thats it, i'm going to tanya...lol... gonna see if she can do anything.:)

[*Tanya*]

Heeeeere I come to save the dayyyyyyy!!! :music2: :bliss: :lol:

All done. :thumbsup:

[Poloke]

Thank you!!!

[LVCRose]

Hi ladies! I'm a PA bride. I grew up outside of Philly and I'm now living near Hershey and our wedding is taking place near Hershey.

[angie]

Where outside Philly? Anywhere near me? :heee:

[LVCRose]

Actually, I lived in Bensalem until I was 9, then we moved to Doylestown. I went to college in Annville (near Hershey) and that's where I'm living now. I used to live near Struble (sp?) elementary school.

[angie]

Cool!

[Poloke]

HIIIII & welcome LVCRose! I'm very near Doylestown!

Glad you could join us here...wow you are almost to your wedding date- have you started a journal?

[septbride]

Welcome LVCRose!!! Great to see there are other PA brides out there :twirl:

[lk718]

Hi ladies! I'm actually a PA bride AND wife. We eloped before my DH's deployment and now will be having the formal wedding on October 14th, 2007!

I'm from Harrisburg... and we're getting married outside of Mechanicsburg!

[Poloke]

HI LK718! Welcome & thanks for joining us! how is the wedding planning coming along?

[septbride]

Hi lk718! You aren't too far from me. I am also in 2007, how is your planning coming?

[*Mandy*]

:wavey: Hey girls. I'm Mandy, I'm from Duncansville. (about 1.5 hours east of Pittsburgh)

I was married 9/13/03. Back in UW days, there were a fair amount of PA brides, but I'm pretty sure most of the ones I recall are married. I just came back because I love weddings, I'm great friends with Lacie (one of the CLs) and my little sister is getting married next year (tentatively) and I am her MOH.

[Poloke]

Hi Mandy- welcome back! Great to have you here!

[septbride]

:welcome2: Mandy!!!

[*Mandy*]

Thanks chickies :kiss:

[LVCRose]

Thanks for the welcome! I did start a journal. I just posted my e-pics in there!

[septbride]

Will have to check that out LVCRose!!!!

where is everyone???

[Poloke]

i'm here .....

[septbride]

Ok, I take it this thread died!

[Poloke]

naw it didn't die...lol... it just has its ups and downs. LOL.

[septbride]

TOOOOO many of them :)

[Poloke]

yeah, the only ups and downs any of us have should be in bed! LOL! OMG HAHHAHAHA

[septbride]

Good one!

[Poloke]

I can't take all the credit, i heard that one somewhere on tv. Comes in handy on some occasions though, huh? lol!

[septbride]

I would say so!

[lk718]

Oops! I posted in here once and then completely forgot! :lol:

[Poloke]

LK718...its alright! you made it back here! How are things out your way?

[lk718]

Very well, thanks! How about with you?

Is everyone loving this weather right now? It was 78 here today and SUNNY! Tomorrow it's supposed to be 70 and sunny! Perfect weather!

[angie]

Yeah, it's supposed to be in the 70s here all week!:flower2:

[Poloke]

I don't know what it was today, but I'm not far at all from Angie...

...so i guess it was the same? A bit humid in my book but uh, fall IS coming right? :)

anyone up for a blizzard? LMAO

[angie]

I'll pass on the blizzard, thanks.:heee:

[septbride]

oooh, I love when it snows!!! :snowflake:

[Poloke]

i love the snow too! Its gorgeous here today. feels like fall, yippeeee!

[septbride]

I know! I love the fall! and the snow, just not the freezing weather that comes with it

[Poloke]

here is a question of the day- what is your favorite thing about fall...aside from halloween?

[septbride]

I love the cooler weather, not freezing, cooler. love all the color changes. And the decorations are the best!

[Poloke]

To answer my own question: The cool brisk breezes, hot apple cider, county fairs, the smell of burn barrels, and the look of the mountains with all those vibrant punches of color dotting them. And of course the throw back from childhood- jumping in a huge pile of leaves!

[angie]

What I love about fall...

fall foliage, fall decor, the attire (darker colored clothes and wearing pants vs. shorts), baseball playoffs and my birthday.:heee:

[septbride]

And its finally here!!!!!

[Poloke]

wooohooo

[angie]

Today is 6 months til my wedding day!:dancingbanana2:

[Poloke]

oooo angie congrats! getting nervous? is everything almost done?

[septbride]

congrats angie!

[Poloke]

Septbride,

Good luck gown shopping tomorrow! I hope you have a good experience at the shop and enjoy !!

[angie]

Thanks ladies!

I'm not nervous yet. I'm a little excited esp. since we're close to booking our honeymoon. :lotsalove:

Almost done? Err... no. I'm pretty on target with where I should be at 6 months though according to the wedding timelines.

[Poloke]

where u going on your honeymoon angie?

[carolb106]

hello i am from altoona PA just thought i would say hello to other PA brides how is everyone doing hope everyone is well

[Poloke]

hi carol!!! welcome! my we are getting to be a pretty good crowd of PA brides/wives!

did you start a journal carol? I'd love to hear details of your wedding planning!

[angie]

Paula... We are looking at a 7 night southern Caribbean cruise.:hearts:

Carol...:welcome:

[carolb106]

yes i have a journal and it has all my pictures so far of the dress and things like that check it out and let me know what ya think

[Poloke]

angie- ooo a cruise sounds lovely! I hope you have fun! Did you see Kari's pics yet? they did a cruise and omg it looked amazing!

Carol I'm off to check out that journal!

[Poloke]

Carol- i posted in your journal but omg everything looks awesome so far & you have a beautiful, wonderful family!

[septbride]

Welcome carol! I'll have to check out your journal as well!

Paula - dress shopping wasn't the experience that I thought it would be. at first they wouldn't let me go back and look at the dresses myself

[carolb106]

thanks for checking out my journal i am a lucky woman i have found an angel in my FH he is a great guy have to pinch myself often lol, our girls are so excited for mom and dad to get hitched thats what my oldest daughter says......... i am supposed to be napping because i work tonight 3rd shift but FH took my daughter to cheerleading practice, so i am cheating and on the puter lol shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol i am going to post pics of my little girl in her cheerleading outfit in a minute you have to check her out she looks sooooooooooo sweet .

[Poloke]

Beth,

I got my gown at that shop and when i asked on teh phone before i got there they informed me that they bring the gowns to you. I guess that is how they did it. I dunno, it worked for me...4th one they brought was the one. Its okay that you didn't find the gown on your first trip out gown shopping... each store is different and unique, you'll find one that fits your needs and will have YOUR GOWN!!!!

Good luck, don't let this experience discourage you.

[angie]

Paula...No, I haven't checked out Kari's HM pictures yet. A couple people suggested that to me too!

Beth...:confused: That is really weird about the bridal shop not allowing you to look at the dresses on your own. I went to 5 different stores (one store twice).I tried on over 30 dresses before I found the one I knew was "the one". It was discouraging midway through searching, but it is so worth it in the end.

Carol...Your girls are darling.

[Poloke]

Angie,

Beth went to the shop i got my gown from. They've been in business for like 30 years so uh, i guess this is just how they do it. I was at several other shops before this one, and this was the ONLY shop that brought gowns out to you. It was odd, considering my prior experiences, but then it was nice too and i didn't mind.
Basically the lady asked me what i liked and wanted. So i did and told her what really looks horrid on my(stapless, halters, cap sleeves) so she brought out stuff that more suited my likings. She hit my style dead on, on gown #4. That dress was everything that I could not find in a gown anywhere that i looked or even online. The gown posted in my journal is almost 100 percent identical b/c there is no pic of my gown online.

I hope everything works out fine for Beth, and I know it all will. I was discouraged after all the shops i went to and said that this was the last shop i would go to before just ordering one online. I was so nervous & worried, I joked w/ mom on the way to the shop...we were leaving Bethlehem- my hometown(also where the marshmallow Peeps are made) and saw the yellow peeps VW beetle car go by. I said to mom- that thing is good luck, maybe its a sign. Well, i ordered my gown that day, so maybe it was :)

[septbride]

Hi Angie - this was the first time I tried on dresses, so it was weird to not be able to pick them out. My first time in a bridal shop was at davids bridal, just to look around. didn't try anything on. But I am still on the search for the perfect dress!

Paula - great to hear you found your dress that day! They were great down there. I was just disappointed since the dress I loved, I couldn't find at first, since I thought it was white. But now I am going to continue my search, and if I find nothing, Pink it is :)

[Poloke]

Beth, I would love to see that gown in Pink. I can't wait to see what will be "the one" for you!

[septbride]

Can't wait to find "the one"

[Poloke]

Beth, have you made any more appts for gown shopping or are you taking a break?

[septbride]

I am thinking of going to one tom after class, but I'm not sure yet. Don't have much free time, but I do need to get the ball rollin, and right now it's a boulder, hard to move!

[Poloke]

I'll get out my hammer and we'll break the boulder up into little rocks!

[carolb106]

i got my hammer to miss sparky lol lets get her butt in gear lol, just kidding good luck with the shopping its something you dont want to rush you want to find the perfect one!!!!!!:heee:

[septbride]

Little rocks I can deal with :) pass me a hammer too

[Poloke]

heheeee hammerin away

[septbride]

Love your avatar paula! I need to learn to do this

[Poloke]

its easy... do you need help? i'll walk u thru it...

[septbride]

I will definitely need some help, but I need to finish my project for class tom first, so I will let you know, thanks :)

[angie]

I love your avatar too Paula. It's a beautiful picture.

[Poloke]

thanks guys. septbride let me know when you want some help with the avatar.

[septbride]

Oh i definitely will :)

[Poloke]

ok

[septbride]

You're just full of avatars!!!!

[Poloke]

Yes i am... i'm doing a new one for each day this month... I love the fall !!!

[septbride]

:)

[Poloke]

Beth are the leaves changing up there yet?

[septbride]

They are starting to!!!! Just drove down a street today after work and had a bunch fall down on me!

[Poloke]

lol, that is the only sucky part, having to rake them up !

[septbride]

oh yeah, or you could just wait til the wind blows them away :)

[Poloke]

That would be my choice but we would have to wade thru 2 ft. of fallen leaves just to get to our door so uh, that won't work.... shucks!

[septbride]

ok, bad idea!

[Poloke]

LOL! we could make a huge pile of leaves to jump in...but i would be afraid of the creepy crawlies that might hang out in the pile.....

"honey, you go first"...LOL!

[septbride]

Yeah, over the years I have become more and more afraid of any bugs or stuff like that. I used to love that stuff when I was younger! Everything just goes downhill when you get older, literally :)

[Poloke]

LOL, yeah Beth... gravity sucks doesn't it? lol

[septbride]

I take it we are the only ones left in here paula!

[Poloke]

Beckii gets married next month at the stroudsmoor (sp?) inn, in stroudsburg, pa. Angie should be floating around here somewhere. Leslie is from hershey so her butt should be in here... lol. There is also a single chick on the boards that is from out that way also. Then there is carol (07 bride) she's from up your way. I'm sure there are more.. but I guess its you and me holding down the fort here for a while till everyone starts to trickle back in.

[septbride]

Well let's get this party started then :)

[angie]

Paula, you are right. I am floating around here. :floating:

Did someone say party? Can't have a party without some balloons.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h176/angiecr/Balloons.jpg (http://s64.photobucket.com/albums/h176/angiecr/?start=#imgAnch1)

[angie]

Argh! I can't understand why that picture won't size right. Every now and then I have that problem from photobucket.

[Poloke]

its a fine size and I love balloons!

[septbride]

me too!

[Poloke]

it is raining like hell here ....

[septbride]

only got a little it seems. i just got back from school, so I don't know how much we really got. just a very light rain now

[angie]

Beth...any more luck with gown shopping?

Paula...what's new with you?

[Poloke]

Hi angie!!! Not much here, going to visit mom n dad saturday. Still waiting on the bm gown try on thing. John and I talked a bit about ideas for the invitations, about when to book the honeymoon and other little tidbits of fun for the wedding. Things are pretty good here, how bout you- gowsh 5 months & change and you are down the aisle! Do you still have alot to do?

[angie]

Paula...Is it much of a drive to mom and dad's house?

Yeah, there's still a lot to do wedding-wise. My favors came in this week though and I ordered my tiara a couple days ago. :bananasrock:Bill and I chose our invitations w/ the wording and we'll probably get those ordered this weekend.

[septbride]

Hi Angie!! No luck on the dresses yet, but I do go next week, so we will see! Sounds like things are falling into place for you!

[Poloke]

Angie,

Far drive- nooo. We live just north of Doylestown and my parents live in Bethlehem (next to Allentown). it's a 1/2 hour ride unless the traffic or weather is bad, then its 45 minutes.

[angie]

Beth...Hope you find your dream dress next week!

Paula...30 minute drive is good. My mom is 20 minutes away in Yardley.

[Poloke]

Yardley, heard of it, never been there. The name always reminds me of England and that brand of soaps. heheheeee

[septbride]

Thanks angie!

[angie]

Paula...Yardley is about 10-15 minutes south of New Hope along the Delaware River.

Beth.. You're welcome!

How's everyone's weekend so far?

[Poloke]

Ahhh that is not far for us! New hope is like a 1/2 hour drive for us. We are planning to do some christmas shopping in peddlers village!

[angie]

I love New Hope and Peddler's Village. Have you started any Christmas shopping yet? I haven't.

[~Sara~]

Hey ladies :hiya:

I wanted to jump in here because I will become a PA wife in August! DH and I just found out that he got into graduate school at Shippensburg U (near Chambersburg/Gettysburg) so we will be moving this summer! It's a huge move for us (about 7-8 hours away from home) so I'm trying to do my research about the state, apartments/houses, jobs, etc. Thought this was a good place to start :heee:

[Poloke]

Angie- I have not started christmas shopping yet, God help me! LOL

Bgsara16- welcome to the state! If you have any questions, feel free to ask, we'll all help you as much as we can! :)

[septbride]

Bgsara16 - ask away! we will be more than happy to help! Oh and its great to see another PAer!!!

[~Sara~]

Thanks for the welcome girls! :heee:

First question...am I going to be shunned because I'm a Browns fan and not a Steelers fan? :hehe:

[Poloke]

no, you won't be shunned- not unless you are living very close to pittsburgh.

Butfor Philly- if you ain't an eagles fan there, er, um, don't advertise it. LOL

[septbride]

Don't care for either of them! :)

[angie]

Welcome Sara! I was thinking Shippensburg was closer to Philly than Pittsburgh, so you might run into more Eagles fans. Who knows though because the university isn't particularly close to either city.

Eagles fans are umm....err... rather passionate. Like you can gather from what Paula said, you can expect some trouble.:hehe: It could be a lot worse though. If you were a Cowboys or a Giants fan, you'd have to endure A LOT of ribbing!

[Poloke]

More questions! more questions!

[septbride]

Waiting.....

[Poloke]

tickity tock.... lol

[~Sara~]

:laugh3: I'm thinking! I'm thinking!!!

[Poloke]

:laugh3: I'm thinking! I'm thinking!!!

:pointlaugh: :laugh3: :rofl:


...we're just anxious to help.:kimgrill:

[septbride]

always!

[Poloke]

good luck today beth!

[septbride]

thanks paula!

Hey ladies, anything new in here????

[carolb106]

well guess what girls I am BACK lol have you all missed me? things have been hectic, lately but starting to calm down alot now so i can actually post, i have posted some more pics on my journal things more to post but have to get more pics taken soon so, will do that asap, well getting the E pics done sometime this weekend so that should be neat to see considering the fact that the FH is really making a compromise on this with me he has this weird belief that every time he gets his pic taken he gets sick ( his native american heritage) but he agreed to do it for me cuz him loves me lol. we have been making some more decisions on things about the wedding little things but making progress going to look at cakes sometime this week, gettn the e pics done, little things but they seem to be helping i feel like i have 50 tasks started and none of them done lol, i can only imagine how i am going to feel as the countdown is getting closer, hey anyone have any idea when i send out STD's? i am so wedding illiterate lol, well i will post more again later off to the bank and then home to do some housework boy that could take me until the wedding to get done lol, damn maid i am going to have to fire her she never shows up anymore lol :laugh3: :laugh3: well chat later all tootles

[Poloke]

Hi carol-

I'm glad to see you here! We know you have a billion things on your plate but dang, its great to hear your updates. Std's are sent SIX MONTHS prior to the wedding, meaning yours should be in the mailbox by MARCH 4th. I know how you feel about 50 little things started & nothing finished- I feel like i have a ton of loose ends to match up!

We are getting our e-pics done this weekend too- please don't forget to post them!:)
The thing your FH has about the pictures is not so unusual... Amish & Mennonite do not allow themselves to be photographed as they say it is not good for their souls. Wait until the wedding day, FH is in for a shock....shhhh don't tell him that. LOL.

YOU have a maid? pshhhhtt! I'm soooo jealous! I wish i had a laundry fairy!

[septbride]

Hi carol!!! Great to see your back!

[carolb106]

yes i have a maid lol ME i am the maid and i should be fired lol, i think i made some progress yesterday after i fell asleep last night with dust rag in hand lookn like cinderella FH said i snored so loud that he will help with the housework cause i must have been beat well......................... if i had only known that was how i could get him to help i would have faked snoring lololol. thanks for the info on the std's, things are coming together finally if i could just get one task completed lol, i will post E pics and you post your as well,. well i am off to get my hair colored its starting to show that i am not a natural blonde lol, need to get that taken care of because i use my hair color as an exscuse for all the stupid things i do lololol :laugh3: talk to yoiu all later on

[Poloke]

hi happy monday....



... i shout be shot for using those words in the same sentence! lol!

[septbride]

I was thinking the same thing Paula!!!!

[Poloke]

*hides in hole*

[septbride]

:) come out paula

[Poloke]

well, now that its Tuesday, I think I'm safe..... *climbs out of the hole*

[septbride]

After those beautiful dresses you found, you can say whatever it is you want!!

[Poloke]

I'm glad you liked some of the gowns, I wasn't sure if I was hitting the mark for you or not.

[septbride]

of course you did!

[Poloke]

thats cool!

I know things will turn around for you in the gown shopping dept.!

[septbride]

I hope so, keeping my fingers crossed!

[Poloke]

crossed fingers make it hard to zip your zipper!

[septbride]

that may be a problem !!!!

[Poloke]

LOL, so any snow flurries up there?

[septbride]

not that I know of. but we don't have any windows in our office. But nobody said anything. how about your way?

[Poloke]

nah, we are too far south to get anything yet. Not normally until like december or january.

[septbride]

Well you are further north than I am right?

[Poloke]

no, I'm south. I'm south of allentown. I'm in Bucks county. They call it bucks b/c if you don't have alot of bucks... you're screwed here.... LOL.

We won't buy a house, we can't afford a 300k home even if both of us were FT. Its sick around here. Ahhh eventually, one day, we will move and have a home:)

[angie]

no, I'm south. I'm south of allentown. I'm in Bucks county. They call it bucks b/c if you don't have a lot of bucks... you're screwed here.... LOL.

Oh my! Ain't that the truth!:happytears:

[Poloke]

Oh my! Ain't that the truth!:happytears:

Angie I only imagine its worse down your way! the closer to philly you are the higher the prices go!

[septbride]

Wow, I am completely wrong, I thought you were in the hazleton area! Where the hell have I been??????

My sister lives in Coplay, and they can't afford a house either. A house that you would buy in my area for say, $60,000, runs about $250,000 down her way. Makes it hard for people to buy a decent house.

[Poloke]

Septbride- I know where coplay is- just outside of whitehall in the valley!

Ok, I'm originally from bethlehem- your sis can tell you that is just across the lehigh valley from her! However, I now live in bucks county, 1/2 hr. south of the lehigh valley.
The wedding is in Hazleton, which is where both my mom and dad's families are originally from. My mom grew up in Hazleton, my dad in Bethlehem, and when they married they stayed down in Bethlehem b/c my dad worked at the Steel. My aunt M (mom's sis) still lives up in Hazleton, amongst other relatives (mostly cousins & aunts) so I am very familiar with the town.

John had worked in Hazleton after college, so he's familiar too. John's side of the family is all from Scranton or farther north of Scranton, so in all fairness....Hazleton is the half way mark for both his sides & mine to travel to. That is how we ended up having the wedding there. Ok, and slight confession- we get way more for our money up there than we would down in Bethlehem, or anywhere in the lehigh valley, or anywhere in bucks county. *whew* hope that makes sense how I wrote it all...

[angie]

My town borders NE Philly, so yeah, the cost of living is higher. When we were looking for our wedding place, I suggested possibly going into the Poconos or Lancaster area for a more reasonable rate. Bill wouldn't hear of it as the vast majority of our guests are in the Philly area and it wouldn't be fair to have everybody travel. It would be different if most of our guests were OOT.

I used to date a guy for a few months in White hall! I think it's Whitehall. White something outside of Allentown...I can't believe I forgot.

[Poloke]

yup, Whitehall. The lehigh valley is sadly going down the dumper! Too many ppl are moving to the area and crowding it up. there is hardly any farmland anymore...its all those new fangled condos and cookie cutter houses. *ick*

[septbride]

Wow, now I understand! See, all this talk about your wedding up near/in Hazelton threw me off!!! That's why I assumed you were from there. well I learned my lesson from assuming :asshat:

oh and Paula, what is a cookie cutter house?

[Poloke]

Its those expensive ass developments where the houses are like 400K plus, and they use one designer/builder/architect to make all the houses. So you have like 4 or 5 models of homes to decide from when you buy land in the development. That is how I came about saying "cookie Cutter" houses.

[septbride]

Oh I get it now :) Don't mind me, I'm a little slow!!!

[Poloke]

*dee dee dee* (Carlos Mencia) LMAO (you know i'm just teasing)

[septbride]

ok, here's another moment, I have no idea what you are talking about!

[carolb106]

ok hello all i have posted my epics on my journal check em out and let me know

[septbride]

I will have to check them out!

[septbride]

How soon????

[Poloke]

this month i think right b4 thanksgiving

[septbride]

wow, that's really soon!

[Poloke]

yeah she's getting married up at stroudsmoor inn, stroudsburg....

[septbride]

I'm excited for her!

[Poloke]

So am I, and she will probably have gorgeous outdoor pictures from up there... I've only seen the website but it looks magnificent!

[septbride]

Is her wedding outside???? That is so beautiful, I wanted to have mine outside but I was afraid the weather wouldn't cooperate :(

[Poloke]

I dont know if its outside or not but they can go out on the grounds for pics afterwards.

I wanted my wedding there but omg it was just too pricey for us.

[septbride]

There aren't too many that aren't pricey anymore :(

[Poloke]

Tell me about it beth... I wish I was doing the small destination wedding like Raychel... but our families would not travel ten hours (or even four to the Maryland beaches) for us to do so.

[septbride]

i know, I read that if you do that you should supply hotel accomodations for your guests, well that gets expensive too :( I would love to have a ceremony on the beach! would be beautiful.

[sweetiez]

i hate how it all so much money!! BOOO!!!!!

[septbride]

I agree with you Amber!

[sweetiez]

beth you should reconsider saturday.. i was gunna pay over 5000 for our reception now just since its friday it will only be 3000
the food and drink mini was only 2,500!!!

[septbride]

THat would be something to consider, but what time would the church marry us? I dont think our church did friday nights

[sweetiez]

have u called and asked? LOL seriously i'd look into it with both of them and just see. u'd save $$$$$$$

Now i can go on my honey moon :jump4joy:
So beth if you go to rivier amaya. i may see you there!!
