Star Gazer Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I don't want to post it here, but I will pm it to you once we are under contract and ready to go, don't want to curse it before it's all set :laugh: It will be in September Totally understand! Yay!!
Author allina Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 So..... I guess 6 months really isn't that long to plan a wedding :laugh: I wonder what I will do when I find out that all the good djs are already booked I think I'm officially excited
Star Gazer Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Dude, when are you going to tell me where it is?? If it's within a 100 miles or so of me, I know a GREAT and inexpensive DJ.
Author allina Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 Dude, when are you going to tell me where it is?? If it's within a 100 miles or so of me, I know a GREAT and inexpensive DJ. It's like 5 minutes from where I live so I think that's within 100 miles. The funny thing is, it's going to be at a hotel, at first I refused to even look at hotels. But then I was like, wait, this would make sense, especially with all these out of town and out of country guests edit, well more like 20 minutes but you get the point
Author allina Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 When I tell people when I'm getting married they ask "2010 or 2011?" :eek:

And yeah, if it's that close to you it's probably like 60-70 miles from me.

Star Gazer Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Nope, I'll link you to it one of these days when I feel ready Okay....
Author allina Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 Definitely let me know about the DJ you have in mind. I'm looking at two companies online right now but I'm feeling a little iffy about them.
Krytie TV Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Don't let him have a bachelor party or enjoy porn.
2sure Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Marriages are not just about 2 people being joined in matrimony. Ideally, the marriage should be joining 2 families. Keep that in mind when making your guest list, planning the details, going into bridal -its-my-day mode.
sb129 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 When I was looking for a wedding dress I came across this place. I love all that antique type 30s glamour. Happy Planning Allina!
linwood Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Since elopement isn't going to happen I have vowed to have a better attitude about the whole thing. I'm going to become the bride that everyone expects me to be and I'm going to enjoy this. .... So LSers, share your wedding wisdom, advice, dos and don'ts. I know you`ve said eloping is not an option. My advice is to reconsider. I`ve been married ten years and both my wife and I still wish we had just flown off to Costa Rica for a week and did the deed . So much bull**** can be avoided this way.
Author allina Posted March 2, 2010 Author Posted March 2, 2010 Don't let him have a bachelor party or enjoy porn. Are you serious? :rolleyes: Marriages are not just about 2 people being joined in matrimony. Ideally, the marriage should be joining 2 families. Keep that in mind when making your guest list, planning the details, going into bridal -its-my-day mode. I'm really close to my family, my SO is close to them as well. Had we eloped to Vegas my parents would love him as their son just the same. Either way, we chose to include a lot of family, in part because we felt it was better for overall family happiness. When I was looking for a wedding dress I came across this place. I love all that antique type 30s glamour. Happy Planning Allina! Thanks! These are beautiful but look a little hard to pull off. I'm putting off dress shopping until late April, so I'm waiting as long as I can I know you`ve said eloping is not an option. My advice is to reconsider. I`ve been married ten years and both my wife and I still wish we had just flown off to Costa Rica for a week and did the deed . So much bull**** can be avoided this way. Too late to reconsider now
sb129 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 I thought that dress place was in SF, its in Seattle. Sorry Allina! You are right- I love that 30s glam look but I couldn't pull it off either. Good luck with the planning.
threebyfate Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Wow!! I love, love, love those dresses, sb! Are you sure you couldn't pull off that look allina? Seriously think about it. They're drop-dead gorgeous!
sb129 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Just imagine them with a white fur stole (faux of course!) diamond drop earrings and pin waved hair 30s screen siren style.. I would love to have a 20s or 30s themed "do". Maybe I will for my 40th. Themed weddings could be a little tacky IMO. Amazing how time flies- I was full of wedding advice this time last year, but its all been replaced by baby "advice" and information. Exciting stuff Allina!
Author allina Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 It is exciting, I'm really happy. The last few mornings I've looked at my fiance and it hit me that he is going to be my husband very soon. I don't think I've ever felt such joy at 5:30am before That's not to say that his mom has stopped with the drama, demands and hissy fits Oh well.
Star Gazer Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 That's not to say that his mom has stopped with the drama, demands and hissy fits Oh well. What's she doing now?
Author allina Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 I just want to thank you guys for all your advice Everything is almost set for the wedding I can't believe it! All that is left is the cake, his wedding band and the dress (which I'm ordering in early April).
SaintDragon Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 don't spend too much cause most likely the marriage won't last ...actually i'm not joking Any guy that doesn't want a lasting marriage with Allina is a dope head lol:laugh: Allina, thinking of you all brided up makes me want to fall in love again and be a groom lol.
SaintDragon Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Definitely let me know about the DJ you have in mind. I'm looking at two companies online right now but I'm feeling a little iffy about them. Whirlin disc DJ's?..... I have no idea if they are in Cali too, but we had them foprmy sister's wedding...they were awesome.
Author allina Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 Allina, thinking of you all brided up makes me want to fall in love again and be a groom lol. I hope that happens for you SD It's such a crazy feeling, getting brided up (I like the term ). I tried on dresses for the first time a few days ago and seeing myself in a white dress and veil made it so real and exciting. Whirlin disc DJ's?..... I have no idea if they are in Cali too, but we had them foprmy sister's wedding...they were awesome. Yes, like a DJ/MC.
