Wedding Dress
Help me please
Its been almost 8 months since the wedding, and I have been trying to sell my dress since the night of the wedding. I need help. Does anyone know of any stores within the Niagara region that purchases used wedding attire? I really need the money, so donating it is not an option. Second hand stores dont purchase , they accept dontations, our consignment stores dont accept wedding attire.. I have placed ads on facebook, wedding girl, craigs list, kijiji. I have my dress, my flower girls dress, a bridesmaid dress that was never worn because she had to back out, and also 4 ties.

Finally Purchased Shoes
Another Thing To Check Off The List
If I can offer any advice it would be to not go looking for things... I have bene searching for wedding shoes for months now, and everytime I go out I tell myself I am not coming home without shoes, and I continued to do so... Yesterday I went to walmart with my aunt because she needed something. I had no intention of buying anything. And then I found my shoes :)
Walmart for $15. They're really cheap but they are sparkly so they look nice :) and i cannot wear heels so :) Please ignore the first two pictures, they wouldnt allow to delete them... mine are the silver, no bow though |

Ask a Question
Please tell me I am not the only one
It seems like on a daily basis I keep having atleast two - three people ask me why they were not invited. Or they will ask my mother, or post on facebook that they want to come - even though they were not invited its like theyre pleading for an invite..
The people I'm refering to I have not spoken to half of them in 5+ years. They have not bothered to call me to say hi, say happy birthday or even just to see if I am still alive. So my question is why do people feel that they should be invited to my big special day, when they cant even give me five minutes of their time to call and make sure i am still breathing. It doesnt have to be a phone call, it can be an email Ive had the same one since I was like 12. you could even IM me, or BBM me, you can stop by my house - oh thats right you have no idea I've moved because you haven't bothered to ask. Is anyone else dealing with this? How are you responding... at first I was trying to say you like oh we're trying to keep it small, or we're on a budget... but now I'm just starting to ignore people and I feel rude. I was having a major problem with my rsvps. I sent out invites for 95 people with a rsvp date for Sept 1. I sent out my invites the first week of July. I have since received responses for 59 people. I have been messaging people over facebook, my mother and aunt and cousin have been reminding people and people cannot even give me the courtesy of a phone call, what the heck ! So I finally got over that. My aunt said if they dont reply by sept 1 to just consider them a no, and to give my final number to the caterer. If they say they want to come after Sept 1 apologize and tell them they were to rsvp by the first. So thats what I plan to do. So today I get an rsvp which was declined ( my only one ) and its from an aunt and uncle and two cousins who I actually like. I was really hurt. They sent a cheque and wrote on the invite that they were out of the city that day. I wanted to rip up the cheque and send it back but my fiance said no. My mother aunt and cousin are all really mad at them. We gave over a months notice, and family is family. You rearrange your plans if you need to, I am only getting married once. |

Bridesmaids
Stress
Myself and all of my bridesmaids met on July 31 for dinner and to discuss the bachelorette party. I do not like drinking/clubbing/dancing and we have 2 kids in our bridal party. I made it very clear I wanted everyone involved.
When we left dinner we were all in agreeance. We had decided to go to the great wolf lodge water park the day before the wedding, go out for dinner and then come back to the hotel room, hang out, eat junk have fun etc. In the morning we would wake up, go to the nail salon all get our nails done, then go get our hair done then back to the hotel room to have makeup done and get dressed, then we'd be off to the wedding. We agreed that it would be approx $100 per person that would include their night at the hotel, their food and the pass for the day at the park. The GWL is about a 10-15 minute drive from the location that my wedding is being held at so I decided I would rent a limo to get us all around so a ) noone has to drive and b ) we can all be together. And then the drama began.. One bridesmaid " cant comprehend why we would want to go somewhere that was not closer to the wedding venue" - um excuse me but how much closer would you like me to be without actually sleeping at the venue. 15 minutes is not far and she is not driving so she should have no complaints. We all wanted to be in one room at GWL but since there was 10 people, we had to book two rooms.. So now that same bridesmaid is telling us shes not going, and she will not allow her daughter/my neice ( another bm ) to come either. so now we've booked this extra room because of her and now shes not even coming... YES we can cancel it , but what a friggin hassle. SO now my MOH is saying we should scrap the whole idea of GWL , go out for a night on the town on an alternate night, and then the night of wedding we can just stay in a normal hotel without the waterpark.. As I previously mentioned, I dont liking drinking or dancing, and we have kids in the bridal party - how the heck does she expect to pull off a night on the town with kids and people who dont like to drink. Only one BM has tried to organize this and put everything together, and like I said everyone was in agreeance... NOw that everythings been booked everyones saying they dont want to anymore... SO STRESSED! |

Wedding Planner
Two Months To Go !!!
two months to go... the time seems like its creeping up so quickly.
I feel like I still have a bajillion things to do. On a positive note, there seemed to be a bit of drama between one of my MOH and bridesmaids, before they even met eachother but it has been cleared. Myself and 6 of my bridesmaids went out to dinner yesterday, and kinda sorta figured out the bachelorette party. Things to do: Give numbers to Dave ( reception manager ) Create seating chart Determine picture time/location Order cupcakes Designate someone to pick up cupcakes Ask Margie if I can borrow her cupcake stand Give the BMS checklists Find a veil Purchase a veil Purchase supplies for cardbox Create cardbox Purchase mens bathroom basket stuff Have sand ceremony box drilled Gather pics for slideshow Create slideshow Designe scavenger hunt signage Designe bathroom basket signage Pay humane society donation Determine rehersal dinner plans Schedule rehersal Book engagement photo session Book my fitting Create list of reception songs Confirm cermony songs Determine how to skype Find Annas clothing Purchase Annas clothing Purchase shoes for 8 bridesmaids Purchase shoes for flower girl and ring bearer Purchase shoes for me for the shower Purchase shoes for me for the wedding Find and purchase dress for shower Find and purchase reception dress Determine wine list Determine linens Designate someone responsible for gifts/cash Determine if having MC Purchase memorial candle Purchase guestbook Purchase disposable cameras Purchase ring pillows Confirm menu Write vows Write speeches Write out thank you cards Purchase thank you cards Find someone to do my hair and makeup Have hair and makeup trial Determine transportation Determine post-wedding accomidations Ensure the ushers have checklist.

Good Idea or Bad?
For the past week + I have been searching for someone to do mine and my 8 girls and my mothers makeup for the wedding. FW springs on me yesterday the idea that she doesnt think its necessary for the bridesmaids to get their makeup done.
The absolute lowest price I found was through an experienced family member who worked at a salon for many years. She said she would do mine and my mothers free, and each bridesmaid would be $30.00 I thought this was great considering it was the lowest I found. Then when I started to think about it, I would be the one paying for the makeup. Thats $240 for 8 people to get makeup done....All the bridesmaids are my FWS sisters except two, so she said to ask them if they dont mind doing their own makeup. All of them said they dont mind, they can help eachother.. Is this a good idea or bad idea in your opinion? My photographer will be edit any imperfections ( zits, blemishes, etc ) anyways so its not like they need makeup to cover that.... and Ive always had a fear of makeup artists making my girls look like clowns. |

Wedding Invitation
Let the addressing begin
Guess what ! My invitations are FINALLY done and FW is picking them up today at 3:00. I really wish I could be there but I am working, and can't take the day off because I did so yesterday.
Quick question: For your invitations are you writing out peoples names and addresses on the envelope, are you putting labels on and then wrting out their info, printing out labels from the computer, or having a calligrapher do them?? I'm a bit lost on what to do ... I dont want to hire someone to do this, and my printer decided it no longer wants to be friends ( its not working ) so I was thinking of writing everything out but dont want it to look tacky. Will add pictures tonight. |

David's Bridal - Dress Your Wedding
Same Sex Relationship
I noticed a post from another bride on here regarding davids bridal-dress your wedding tool so I thought I would check it out, it looked kind of interesting to me. So I logged into DB only to find that it only gave me the option to use 1 bride and 1 groom. I was not able to locate an option for two brides, or two grooms.
So what did I do , I emailed Davids Bridal. Here is my email: My question is in regards to the " dress your wedding" tool that you have available. I was in the process of using this, and came to find that I could only use one bride and a groom... I dd not see an option to use two brides, or two grooms. Does David's Bridal not support same sex couples? They responded: Hello Brittney,Thank You in you interest in David's Bridal. We have forwarded this inquiry to our marketing team to add to there to do list. I guess I didn't really get an answer. Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this.. Wether you are in a same sex relationship or a biracial couple? I feel like people should be over our differences by now.. Its 2011, we have flying cars!! When FW and I first got engaged we had an appt with a travel agency because we were going to have a destination wedding. the woman told us that we should have told her we were gay on the phone before coming... needless to say, we didnt go back to her. |
