[BJ'sBabyGirl]

Time, money and stress would all be saved. Who woulda thunk that the guy is the one saying no?!

[Marisa]

I believe you - mine says no whenever I bring it up as well...

[BJ'sBabyGirl]

Oh well I guess I will suck it up and have a big ol' purty wedding! I just don't want to pay for it LOL.

[Winter_Bride]

I'm already married, but may I say I sympathize? AND we were actually offered by his folks to fly my family (there's only 6 of us. Really.) and his brothers down to vancouver island where his parents live and we could get married on the beach with only immediate family in attendance. The offer was HARD to pass up!

[Marisa]

Yeah - Everyone gets to party and we get to pay.... The pictures will be great though :cabbagepatch:

[Christa]

I think the only thing keeping me from eloping is wanting my family (aunts, uncles, cousins) there.

I couldn't agree more!!

[BJ'sBabyGirl]

Ok, this is totally random. But Bruce and I just opened a joint checking account!!!! We did it so I can track his credit (for free) so we know what to expect when we apply for our mortgage, but it just excites me a little knowing that any day now there will be checks in my mailbox that have our names on them!

[Christa]

Ok, this is totally random. But Bruce and I just opened a joint checking account!!!! We did it so I can track his credit (for free) so we know what to expect when we apply for our mortgage, but it just excites me a little knowing that any day now there will be checks in my mailbox that have our names on them!

We opened one in May and I was really excited. I keep track of all of our finances so it only made sense to only have 1 checking acct because it would be easier for me. I never wrote out checks but now that we have them with both of our names on it I find myself writing more checks :)

[jillian]

We had a joint account before we were engaged. He had to close his account because his mother was also on it and she kept taking his money. He went without one for a couple of months before he asked me if I'd open one with him.

[Marisa]

We had a joint wedding savings account and then once we purchased the house last November we opened a joint checking account for household expenses. Since we won't move in until September, the only thing we do with the account is pay the electricity bill.

[BJ'sBabyGirl]

I am glad that I am not the only one oddly excited about this. He won't have checks or a card (and he is the primary) but his name will be on the checks. It may end up being the house account later, but who knows.

[jillian]

Hi Katie, Hi Jessica

This thread is too slow. Let's start chatting with a QOD

What is the best and worst part of being engaged?

[Christa]

What is the best and worst part of being engaged?

The best part is knowing that you are getting married and the worst part is the wait!

[MsJessica07]

The best is planning the wedding and knowing that we are getting married...and I think the worst part has also been planning the wedding and the fights it's caused with both FH and my parents...his parents aren't really interested enough to get angry...

[soulmates]

The best part is knowing that you are getting married and the worst part is the wait!

I second that!

[Deidre98]

The best part is knowing we are one step closer to being married and spending the rest of our lives together and the worst part is the planning because everyone is trying to add in their 2 cents on what they think is best for US.

[Marisa]

What is the best and worst part of being engaged?

The best part is the preparations for a strong marriage. The worst part is the focus on this one day that doesn't ensure that the rest of the marriage is sound.

[Hughto]

The best part is knowing that you are getting married and the worst part is the wait!

I also second that... I guess third it :giggle:

[jillian]

To answer my own question: The best part is knowing you are getting married and the worst part is planning the wedding.

[*Sarah*]

The best part is knowing that you are getting married and the worst part is the wait!

I will fourth that one!!! :thumbsup:

[Christa]

To answer my own question: The best part is knowing you are getting married and the worst part is planning the wedding.


Planning is the second worst part for me

[jillian]

I am not an organized person that's what makes it difficult for me.

So another month is almost upon us, what is on your to-do list?

[Deidre98]

Find a stupid venue!!!

[Coze]

Hi hi-

What's on my to-do list?? Not to freak out as I finalize all the 'stuff' that still needs to be done and paid for... *sigh*

Cangratulations Bri!! :cheer:

[*Sarah*]

Congratulatons Bri!

This thread doesn't see much action..maybe we can revive it a little with QOD...

What is the last wedding related task you crossed off your (never ending) list??

[*Sarah*]

For us...we put the deposit down on our florist!

[Coze]

Hi hi-

Uhm... uh... uhm... let's see... uh... just starting craft project count? What about finding an additional photographer... wasn't really on the list, but ya know... uhm... I found Sporrans for the boys... that's something I crossed off my list.. And you're right... never ending...

TTFN...
D.J.

[Deidre98]

I have nothing crossed off. We are still trying to find a stupid venue...but hopefully that will be accomplished soon!

[*Sarah*]

just starting craft project count?

Sure it counts!! We're just getting some discussion going!

I found Sporrans for the boys...

pardon my ignorance, what are those?

[*Sarah*]

I have nothing crossed off. We are still trying to find a stupid venue...but hopefully that will be accomplished soon!

You decided on the groom! That's a big accomplishment!! :laugh3: And it looks like you set a date! So you've got two things right there!! :hehe:

[Coze]

Hi hi-

We are having a Scottish Renassiance Wedding and Sporrans are those things that hang in front of the kilts... It's like a purse... The problem is that most of them are made REALLY big for like men and our boys are not anywhere close to men. The smaller ones that I found were expensive or just pouches and that's not what we wanted. I found a lady online who custom makes them and viola! $80 for two custom made sporrans with shipping... Considering Honey's cost me $210... $80 for two was nothing...

TTFN...
D.J.

[*Sarah*]

Ahhh...$80 for 2 of them does sound good! Yay for getting what you want and at a good price!! :whoop:

[Bri]

What is the last wedding related task you crossed off your (never ending) list??

Set the date! We agreed on 06.07.08 (cuz it sounds and looks nice, hahaha, and it's a little farther from Memorial Day weekend).

Next up... the venue, I want to have that set so I don't have to stress about it.

[Deidre98]

You decided on the groom! That's a big accomplishment!! :laugh3: And it looks like you set a date! So you've got two things right there!! :hehe:

Actually the date is probably going to be October now!!! But, I do have the groom decided upon so that is something!!! :laugh3:

[Kathy]

I'd say the only thing we've done is set a date, and I don't think we're going to get anything more concrete done until December, when we're both on Christmas break.

[jillian]

The last thing... we picked our invitations!!

The thing I need to cross off... booking a DJ!

[Hughto]

Bubbles, ribbons, and napkins.

Next thing, book videographer (Monday?)

[Coze]

Hi hi-

I can't cross the craft projects off my list yet... I put another coat on the horseshoe today... (we're using it instead of a pillow for the rings)... and I went in search of a mini red carnation but no stores have them right now. They are on their fall collection... I even know the girls at the Shari's where we live and they didn't have any either... yes, I know Shari's is a resturant, but they have those fake flowers all over the place... I just need one little mini carnation to finish one of the projects I'm working on... *sigh*

Uhm... other than that... nothing going on... at this point, I am not above stealing a mini carnation if I see one in an arrangement or something. Honey and I were joking at dinner about me calling him because I got arrested for taking a red mini carnation from somewhere...

TTFN...
D.J.

[*Sarah*]

Okay...I have another question...

How much time would you estimate you spend working on wedding-related tasks, lets say in a week? Has it been the same all through your engagement so far?

[Coze]

Hi hi-

No Way... some weeks I don't do anything, but then on other weeks I'm going crazy doing things... these next couple of weeks are going to be crazzzzzy... Too much to do and not enough time to get them done in.

TTFN...
D.J.

[Kathy]

So far all I'm doing is researching wedding stuff, and I do that at work, between classes, at home after class ... pretty much whenever I can get to a computer. It's been pretty much the same the whole time, I'm just a little more focused now :)

saaaaame here.

FH hates it, LOL. "More wedding pr0n?!?"

[soulmates]

Hi girls!! I haven't been i here in ages.

QOD1: The last wedding thing I did was order butterflys for the bouquets and flower patals. Next to do is mail a BM newsletter about the dresses.

QOD2: I don't think I actually spend a lot of time on wedding related things (on line a lot but thats just fun). I think b/c we've been engaged so long we were able to spread it out and it hasn't been a huge focus.

[Vanessaness]

Last wedding related thing we crossed off our to do list was hiring the Harpist and sending her her deposit.

Next thing to do on the list is deciding on a florist/decorator.

Also...

On average I think I spend maybe a couple of hours a day working on something wedding realated. Weather its calling vendors to get quotes or just looking up inspiration pics on the internet or magazines its always something. :D

Your date isn't that far away. I met another bride last weekend witht he same date and she was already pickign out her invitations (where I work we sell invites)

[Vanessaness]

Wow lots of new brides!! :welcome:

[*Sarah*]

We should have a QOD so we can get some conversation going....anyone have an idea?? :dontknow:

[MsJessica07]

Ummm....

QOD: What's been the hardest things to find/arrange/set up/etc so far in planning? What about the easiest?


My answer: The hardest so far has been finding an officiant, and the easiest...the venue.

[Allyson]

The hardest so far has been finding a florist. I've been looking, but so far I haven't come across anything that I really like.

The easiest was the reception location for us.

[soulmates]

QOD:
easiest: Picking a date. We did that like the day after we got engaged and it really was just a matter of looking at a calendar for the exact date because we knew whan we wanted it.

hardest: the reception hall. We are on hall number 2 right now. The first one was giving us conflicting numbers as to how many people would fit in the room so we had to find a new one.

[jillian]

Easiest: Picking a date. I knew I wanted a March wedding and he loved the idea of it not being hot.

Hardest: Paying off everything.

QOD: Easiest thing to plan was the location of the reception and the hardest is finding string players in the middle of Illinois!

[*Sarah*]

I think the easiest thing for me was picking my MOH and BMs. Hardest....so many things have been difficult for on reason or another...guess I'll be general and say planning from 1500 miles away.

How long together: 4 years, 4 months
How long engaged: Almost 2 months (engaged on December 9, 2006)
Wedding date: September 15, 2007

[Kathy]

I think the easiest was choosing the season/month for the wedding - we were actually discussing having a winter wedding in our conversation that turned into the proposal. So that was definitely easy.

I don't think we've gotten to anything hard yet. The most frustrating was finding the perfect BM dress, in the perfect color, only to find that it's been discontinued. We're still far enough away for it to not be a big deal, though, so I'm not too worried about it. We'll find another dress :)

[jillian]

what is on everyone's to do list this month?

[Kathy]

Booking the venues, which we're doing tomorrow :)

[jillian]

Ohh that's exciting!

Mine is to finish getting everything for the centerpieces, possibily getting our marriage license.

[Dmsangel]

Our big to-do is find an officiant. I guess that's an important one :lol:

[soulmates]

Hmmm........not sure what's on this month's to do yet. I think more shower related things need to get done. Oh, and I've been trying to get to FMIL's for over a week now to see if I need anything else for the centerpieces.

[Vanessaness]

The easiest thing to do for us has been booking all our vendors

Hardest is figuring out where the bridal party and myself will get ready. Where we'll spend the night and who's gonna be there. So many thing up in the air right now. :sigh:

This months to do list in enourmous!!!

1. Finish putting together our pew decorations, door wreaths, tieing together our refreshment napkins and forks and decorating baskets to put them in.

2. Make appointment with Harpist and Soloist to figuire out ceremony music.

3. Make appointment to order tuxedos

4. Visit with Travel Agent to plan our honeymoon. FDH is doing this tomorrow! :yippee:

5. Type up our program information in spanish for printing.

6. Finalize ceremony plans with Priest

7. Confirm sponsors for Arras, Laso and flowers to Mary.

8. Purshase my wedding day shoes! :D

9. Shop for Day of survival kit

10. Purchase cake knife and server set.

11. Determine something borrowed and something old.

12. Get address of all people on invite list. Remind Jim to provide addresses for his aunts and uncles from Michigan.

13. Send directions to Church and from Church to Reception and email them to Lynn who's doing our invites.

14. Set up meeting with Terrie our DJ and go over play list.

I think that's it! :faint:

QOD: Easiest part was picking the date. We didn't have one set, we went the one reception hall, fell in love with it(plus the prices were really reasonable) and picked a date that was open. The hardest thing is trying to plan the rest of the wedding. I have been slacking a lot!
