The (non) fart club...Do you do it infront of each other??
I saw this article on thenest.com and thought it was cleverly fun haha. This is totally me and Dave, we don't "toot" infront of each other, we just don't! Are you like this couple or are you more of a "free-winded" couple?
The Article is called: In Defense of (Non) Fart Club Lest anyone think that Holly has somehow browbeaten me into not farting around her, I just want to go on record and say that the whole non-farting thing just happened (or didn't happen) organically. I'm the type of guy who would pretty much never fart in front of ANYONE (sure, that rule may have been broken once or twice, but come on). In fact, farting would probably never have even come up in conversation between Holly and me if we hadn't gotten a dog. But the dog is a total stinker, and that sort of broke the ice. But the fact weve never forged through the farting frontier (at least the human one) is probably just an extension of the way Holly and I behaved when we were dating, which had everything to do with us being young, vain, and crazy self-conscious. I guess Ive always pictured a husband the way I did as a kid: old, disgusting, and just sort of a Dad archetype. I've never seen myself that way, and I definitely don't want to be seen that way. So I act accordingly. I realize Im a dying breed. One of my friends just doesnt give a f*@# about letting one loose in front of his girlfriend. She actually told me that he comes into the bathroom and drops a deuce while shes taking a shower! That completely blew me away when I heard it. It's like wait five minutes, dirt bag! To me, that complete lack of modesty equals "I don't care what you think, which is no attitude to have in a relationship. So heres the verdict: I'd like to preserve the integrity of Holly's image of me for a little while longer...as long as possible, actually. Tell me I'm not the only guy out there who feels this way. Anyone? Anyone? -- Jack The article with comments is here: http://ideas.thenest.com/love-and-sex-advice/my-married-life/Blogs/my-married-life-in-defense-of-no-fart-club.aspx?showfull={A5845161-33DF-4615-A5E4-1FAFE3DB1039} |

I'm Trashing My Dress!!!
...Nervous and excited!!
After finding out how much it would cost to clean my dress and possible box it I've decided to do a Trash the Dress shoot instead.
The cleaning was priced to START at $175 and then boxing the dress would be at least another $40. I spent about $650 on my dress including the alterations so spending more than $200 to get it cleaned and boxed just doesn't seem right. I have a friend who's a photographer, he's really good, creative and very much my style...he said that he would do my shoot, Even though he wants to do if for nothing I'll be giving him some money to cover his time and whatnot but I'll still save quite a bit....and if I still want to I can always decide to clean the dress afterwards. We might even get to do it this weekend!! When I do and once I get pictures back I'll be sure to post them:) In the meantime...here are the pictures we're using as inspiration ? |

Ask a Question
Name Change: Ontarians, are you 'assuming' or 'electing'???
Okay so I thought I knew what I was going to do for this whole name change thing and I THOUGHT it was going to be super easy. I read it over though and now I'm so very confused!
As Ontarians we have 2 options: 1) To assume your parteners name- this does not change your name 'legally' but if you assume your name all of your cards (licence, health card...) contain your new name...everything except for you birth certificate. It seems like this is very common practice for Ontarians and saves paper work (since non is required you just need all new cards). 2) To Elect your partners name - This changes it legally and therefore everything including your birthcertificate changes. It's a little more work (you need your wedding certificate and need to fill out a form and send it in) Both ways seem to be free as long as you do it within 90days of getting married (after that it looks like it cost $15 for the Electing option). So my question to you....What are you doing? Assuming? Electing? and WHY? I feel like Electing would be the best option, so that my birthcertificate is the same as everything else...it's an extra paper to fill out, but I feellike I might as well go full out and take the extra step, either way I have to change most of my cards anyway,right? Is their other reasons that people do one over the other?? I'm pretty confused:S |

Ask a Question
Storing and cleaning costs? What to do with the dress after the wedding?
So now that the weddings done I need to move my dress off of the old couch and either store it...or whatnot. Only I have no idea how much cleaning and storing should cost? or how it's done?
I was told by one friend that they don't box them anymore? that they just clean them and you're supposed to hang it? I don't have closet space for this! Are there other options? What are you planning on doing with your dress after the wedding? Any idea on price points for doing whatever it is? |

RIU Palace Aruba
Honeymoon spot - review
For those of you planning on staying at the Riu palace in Aruba (or for people thinking about Aruba for their honeymoon...here's what I thought of it:
-Number one thing that I would recommend would be to email the hotel ahead of time and stress to them that you're on your honeymoon and would like the best room available (in the riu---rooms 436, 536, 636 are top notch (we stayed at 536:)). Dave emailed the riu at least 1 month before our honeymoon to request a good room/highlevel/ oceanview and whatnot, then he emailed them again the day before we left just to say "can't wait to come to the riu for our honeymoon....blah blah blah, and left the old messages attached).....our room turned out to be amazing! We saw another couples room, who were also on their honeymoon and it was nowhere near as great (still nice but without the extras). -The food was delish, we both like it a lot, although the room service didn't have a ton to choose from. I would recommend the Krystal restuarant (it's modern cooking), we went to it twice we liked it so much:)...you however DO need to make reservations every morning for those restaurants and for 3 of them the guys have to wear long pants. -The pool was amazing, it was well kept, just beautiful, and the pool bar gets an A-plus!:) -The beach- clean, nice sand, not too hard to get an umbrella in the morning. One thing we liked was that there weren't a lot of people coming around constantly trying to sell things, I think we saw one person. -snorkling is awesome all around the island (go to baby beach, close to the rocks and you'll find tons of fish) -Hotel itself is very clean, room service was good (we kept laughing about how many towels they kept giving us).. -Casino is fun...we did blackjack a couple times:) -night life is pretty much nonexistant unless you do a night package (I would not recommend the "tattoo boat" the food is kinda gross and it's just not that much fun. -They close down most bars at like 12:30 so you kinda have to go to the sports bar after that. -I'd definitely recommend renting a jeep---we took one all around the island (the island is really small so it's easy to see everything). -----the ruins and look outs are pretty awesome and baby beach. ------the caves are cool too but don't be fooled...the "tunnel of love" there are bats in it! (not "lovely" at all!) ------baby beach was our favourite!:) ---Natural springs is supposed to be great, but we couldn't get the jeep up the steep "roads" and for some rented jeeps they make you sign a waver saying you won't go up there...lol All in all it was an awesome island, great food friendly people and great times. |

The Wedding - how it all went down!
The good bad and the ugly!
The GOOD:
-We hit a beautiful day, sunny and warm, but not HOT. It was pretty much the perfect weather:) -We met with the day coordinator 2 days before to go over everytthing that he and the hall needed to set up for me. (so helpful) -The aisle runner got a lot of comments (and nobody fell...although some high heels did poke through it) -Writing our own vows, although this task was a little hard, and we kept putting them off, they turned out great (mind you I cried through a bit of mine, but it was something that we'll never forget) and so many guests said that it was one of the most touching ceremonies that they've ever been too (how cool is that!!?) -Glad I did the coloured shoes (honestly EVERYONE commented! it made a statement, and THAT I loved!) -There was a LINE UP at the candy buffet! Most people that came to the wedding had never seen one before so it made a great impression, everyone is STILL talking about it! -The blue coloured napkins, I'm SO glad I paid the $50 extra to do that upgrade, they pretty much MADE the room. They we're a great added splash of colour. -We did table numbers with our photos in them, and had some guests ask to take them home with them! (they cost us $1 each!:) -Our photographer - she was awesome, she blended right in, she took her time with us and even ended up staying later than she was supposed to:) -My jewellery was a hit (I never expected to say that) but everyone was asking me to tell them the story behind my necklace (they all thought it was vintage/antique) haha -I ended up attaching my grandmas necklace (without the chain) to the back of my necklace. She was incredibly touched, and my aunts we're excited to see it as well:) -Photobook as the guest book was awesome! Glad I did that! It looks great and won't be stored away in a box! -The food was delish, the cake was just what I wanted(and tasted awesome too).... -The guys tuxes got comments, classic and just what I was hoping for. -Flowers - Got them done at a place called "herbal Touch" and it was fantastic, she took her time, details we're fabulous, and the turquois ribbon on the stems we're perfect....I loved the way they all popped!:) -The dance lesson was WELL Worth it!!! We felt comfortable, and people noticed...definitely a good buy! -Both of my brothers we're crying, It was probably the MOST touching thing for me throughout the entire night (minus of course me marrying my man:)) OKAY THE BAD...and I Suppose the ugly: -The handfans never made it to the seats for the ceremony (the coordinator forgot this), I didn't notice at the time and although they would have been better where they we're intended for it's not a HUGE deal. They ended up giving them out at the bar instead so people still enjoyed them during cocktail hour and dancing:) -I wiish I had more time for pictures. Although the photographer stayed late, we only had an hour and a half during the cocktail hour to get pictures of the wedding party/siblings./parents/ and dave and me -----by the time everyone else was finished we were only left with about 15min for me and dave.....That is one thing I would definitely have changed somehow. -My dress ripped near the end of the night. It ended up dragging too far in the back and I had to hold the end while I danced the rest of the night away...it was a bit sucky, but I didn't let it get me down! SUM UP: All in all it was a GREAT day/night. It was perfect in my eyes, it was emotional, love FILLED, and FUN! Everyone that went we're CLOSE friends/family of ours which made a huge difference (so glad we kept it tight). Now I'm a married woman and right now I'm just enjoying that fact and looking forward to our days ahead together. |

 Me being crazy!...we'll call it my 'happy dance!" David and me - christmas at my folks house:)   |
Just a quick happy dance...
...'cause I'm getting married in like 3 days!!!
I've just passed the stress part of the planning (it's ALMOST done) and now I'm heading into the "I'm so excited I can't stand it" part!
I can't believe that I will be married in just a few days!!! It doesn't seem real, I'm SHOCKED that I'm not nervous or questioning things, or afraid for dear life! I was SURE I would be, I mean in every past relationship I was shaking in my boots whenever things started getting TOO SERIOUS! I guess when it's really right the nervousness is, for the most part, replaced with just a sigh of relief, a content happiness of knowing that this is the way my life should be......gosh I love that feeling:) I'm SO excited to become a Mrs to my Man:) |
