Wedding Flowers
Flowers...I'm just not sure...
anymore! I don't know if I really want the flowers that have been made for me anymore. I have always wanted something simple like calla lillies and now I have these buches of flowers. I can't really do much about them. I just don't know if it is my style. I love the color orange it is my favorite, but when they were made it seems as though the yellow over powered the orange. I did ask if some yellow could be removed, but I think it was too late and I was told that it will be okay. More orange will show than the yellow. I hope that is the case. I know what your thinking, you have the right to change it, it is your wedding. Well my mother in-law made them and I know it is too late to have them redone. All my center peices are silk flowers and most have been made as far as I know. I had orignally had two ideas. My colors are orange and yellow, but wanted less yellow. Uggghhhhh....Its just too late huh!
The more I think about it the worried and upset I get. I was talking to my mother earlier and she said everyone thinks that you are going to have an elegant wedding...what the heck does she mean by that?! That the flowers that have been made are not elegant! Sad part I don't feel they are me! If they were this picture then yes, but what has been made for me, NO! What do you do? What can you do in 19 days? |

Bridal Shower
7/18/08
So the ladies at my job had a bridal shower and I invited a total of 12 people and only four showed up that included the two ladies from my job. So there was a total of 5 people there. It really hurt my feelings because it just made me realize that I am pretty much out here alone with no true friends. Now I don't want to sound as if the ones that did come weren't my friends because they are and I was so thankful for them even thinking about me! What really made me sad was that my FH mother did not show. I talked to her earlier that day and she stated that she would be there. We called before we started the games and she didn't answer. Til this day she has not called and said anything. I thought she would have called and apologized, but it is okay. I am learning slowly, but surely. I did have fun!

Wedding Photography
So excited!
This morning I went to take my pictures for my bridal portrait! I know they are going to turn out great! I took them in my wedding dress and shoes....WOW, the dress is really the one. The way it shined it the light and how it complimented my skin. It was beautiful. The grounds were beautiful, the inside of the building was beautiful. It was really fun, this is the only time that I felt as though it was just about me! I didn't have to worry about the perfect shot because I was the perfect shot. I felt beautiful! Although photography was not in the budget it was well worth it!
I also told my auntie about the deal that the photograper gave me and she said if he could add on a limo at a great price she would pay for it! God is really working things out for us! |

Meant to be!
I had been looking for another reception site. Yes, I know I now have 20 something days til the wedding...Today, I took a whole day and went to all the places I could think of. Needless to say I ran into some dumps! Well one of the places I just happened to stop by they had an in house photographer and I was sent to ask him about some facilities here in San Antonio, TX. While speaking with him, he asked if we had a photographer and ended up giving me a deal I couldn't turn down. We didn't have one lined up do to finances and just so happen it the most reasonable price I ever heard. I am sooo excited! I did not find a new facility because it just wasn't meant to be, but was directed to another path that lead me to somewhere I was meant to be! Through all we have endured, God has truly been good to us and I couldn't be more thankful!

Ask a Question
I am lost, hurting, confused and don't really know what to do now!
Good morning BTB! I am at a lost, hurting, confused and don't really know what to do now!
When I started planning the wedding a certain someone on my side of the family had offered to assist me financially. She was suppose to take care of the invitations, wedding cake, and the food for the reception. Of course the invitations were purchased by her. The cake we (my FH ordered) were over the desired amount she wanted to pay so we paid 100.00. The food for the reception needs to have a deposit put down two weeks before the reception and the rest on the night. Well this weekend I talked to that person and she complained of major financial issues. To make a long story short she does not have anymore money to pay for what she had committed to months ago! She never really said that she couldn't help, but we got into a big arguement over it.... To make a long story short, we (my FH and I) Have to come up with the money which is over $700 dollars in less than a month. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but ladies on top of everything I have to still get. Wedding favors and tons of balances! What do I do?! I'm lost, hurt and would have never thought she would do this to me! WHAT DO I DO NOW!??? MY WEDDING IS A MONTH AWAY! |

Ask a Question
What does your wedding date mean to you?
Why did you choose that day? What significance does it have? Were you open to chosing other dates or that date was final, no if ands or buts about it?
For myself, that was the day of our first conversation on myspace.com! When we started planning that date happened to fall on a Saturday. Wooohoooo....I was sooo excited! I wasn't willing to budge on that date and didn't want it any other way! |

Addicted..
to this site....
I found it by accident yesterday 7/2/08 and now can't get off or close the window. I find myself logging back on to see any replies, new ideas, or just feel that excitement again of knowing that I am about to marry the man sent to me! I also look back on here to realize that I too am not alone in my frustrations, second guessings, undecided decisions, confirmations, and reassurance that is needed in order to plan a wedding! I really feel as though that this site helps me in more ways than one. I am excited!

Ask a Question
Uncomfortable situation...
So I am wondering is there anyone out there that is marrying someone that was previously married???? My FH ex-wife is a great person in all and the mother of his children, but I think she will be at every holiday gathering that his family has. They were high school sweethearts, the relationship lasted several years, near 13 or so. She has built a relationship/friendship with the family and I don't think it will change. In a way I understand, but I am a little uncomfortable with it. Especially when they are all talking about the past and I am sitting there clueless. How would it make you feel?
