Hey Girls!! Its been a long time since I have been on here. Actually a little over a year now :) We've been married for over a year and are trying to start a family.. I remembered this website and how great it was that there were so many other women to talk to about stuff. Does anyone know of a sister website to this for those of us who are already married and getting ready to start a family?? Don't get me wrong I would love to stay and post stuff on this website but I dont know if it would offend some girls being that this is really a "wedding" website. Anyway. I look forward to seeing if you girls have found anything and Ive missed hearing from you all!! Oh by the way...I know that THE KNOT has sister websites called THE NEST and THE BUMP but this just seems to be a much "personal" relationship with people.

Vows

What do you think of this one?

So Bryan and I were kind of throwing things at each other and this is what we came up with. Do you think its missing anything. Is it too short, ANY of your ideas would help. Dont even be afraid to add a whole line in here or something... This is what we came up with...

I ____ take you ______ to be my husband / wife. I will cherish you and love you more each day.

I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you and to comfort you in times of sorrow.

I give you my hand, my heart and my love from this day forward as long as we both shall live.

What do you think??

Programs

What do you put??

Im starting to think of puting out wedding programs together. At least a rough draft. Besides the order of the ceremony what else do you typically put in the program? Do you list the Bridal party or the grandparents. Im not quite sure what to do. Its hard to make a rough draft when you have no idea what all goes in it.???

Moving In

When to Start???

So, Bryan and I do not live together and we aren't going to until the day we say "I DO" We only have 2 months before we get married, when do you think I should start moving my stuff in and BEFORE I move my stuff in we need to organize and clean all his stuff too? See I know the weekends are great but In March, Im not lieing we have something going on every single weekend except ONE! Then its April---the first weekend is my Bachelorette party and the second weekend Im getting married. I don't want to move all my stuff in too soon, for obvious reaons because i wont have anything here. Any of you brides have any ideas? Any Brides that dont live with your fiance now that will be moving in before you get married...when will you be moving in Even ladies that live with their fiance I could use your tips and advice as well. Also we are looking at a house but we know that we wont be able to move in ( if everthing works out) the spring so we will need to be in his apartment for a while ( which is pretty small) if any of you ladies have any ideas of how to maximize a small space that would be wonderful!!!!

Thanks in advance. Its so exciting to be this close to the wedding where I actually need to start thinking when Im going to move stuff in :)

Butterfly Kisses

What do you think??

For my wedding Im going to have my Aunt sing the Song "Butterfly Kisses" If you have never heard the song its a really cute song for Daddys Little Girls. Anyway....as soon as I make it up the aisle to Bryan my Aunt is going to sing it before My Dad gives me away. ITS A SUPRISE----AT THIS POINT HE HAS NO IDEA :)

My guestion is.... I was thinking of having a slide show play while my aunt was singing---pictures of me and my Dad. My only problem is I don't know if it will take away the attention of the song if people are busy watching a slide show?? If you have heard the song before you know the last verse is about walking down the aisle and giving his daughter away. I was thinking of having the slide show STOP at the last verse so that everyones attention is on the words, but I dont know if it would be better to just skip the whole slide show. What do you think???

Tanning

When to start??

My wedding is in about 2 months and 11 days or so. Its coming so fast!! Ive been wanting to go tanning for my wedding since I first got engaged, but I knew it was way to soon. Now, with my wedding only being a couple months away is it too early to start now?? I was thinking about going 2 times a week up until the middle of march and then the last 2 or 3 weeks before my wedding maybe going 1 time a week just to maintain it. What do you think? My other guestion is how many days in between should I go. Like if I went on a monday and a friday by the time I go back on friday will mondays tan have disappeared? I have NEVER gone tanning before so I am all new to this. The days don't really matter because I live less than 10 minutes away from a salon. Also before I started working in an office I used to be tan all the time. Im the type that tans quickly and keeps it for a long time, but since I haven't been tan in such a long time I dont know if it will take longer now. Any suggestions would be great!! I am just really white and we are going to the beach for our honeymoon so a perfect foundation for the beach would be great. I dont want to look too dark in April I just want to have a nice color.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

Wedding Invitation

Envelopes???

So, I printed out all my invitations and response cards. We did a simple Martha Stewart inviation--where all you had to do was print on them. We are one a smaller budget and most people throw away the invitation anyways so there was no point in spending 100's of dollars! I will post a couple pics in a day or so. I do have a guestion---for the envelope that you are mailing everything in are you typing the peoples names and addresses---like off of a typewriter, or the computer or are you handwriting them. Either way is going to take a while to do but I don't know which way is the typical way. I know you handwrite all the THANK YOU CARDS but whats the "rule" so to speak for Invitations??

The Toast

Something a little different.....

So, My FH and his family and my family dont drink, pretty much all of my friends dont either. I mean neither wine, champage, beer---anything. So for our toast we were trying to find something we could toast with besides wine and champagne. We were going to do sparkling cider but its like $3 a bottle. We are on a tight budget and especially for just ONE toast we don't see the need to spend that much. We would have needed about 26 bottles. Instead my mom and I were shopping and we saw Cranberry flavored Ginger Ale we decided that the Ginger Ale would work perfect its something other than water :) and its still has the bubbly affect. We also figured one bottle could serve 2 tables so---- we figured we would end up spending no more than $20 on it for over 200 quests. Im really glad we found that? Are any of your ladies doing something other than wine or champagne?

Honeymoon

We booked our Honeymoon!!!

So Ladies! I am super excited. We decided to go down to Orlando Florida for our honeymoon. On Tuesday night we purchased the tickets for the flight, rental car and our Hotel. We are staying at a place called extended stay. Its not a honeymoon suite and its not a all inclusive its a normal hotel room but the reason why we chose it was it has a kitchen and living room. Almost like a mini apartement. We decided we wanted to get a kitchen so we can go to a local walmart and get some food for the week. Especially in tourists sights you can spend a fortune on going out to eat. Don't get me wrong we are going to go out to eat, but this way we can pack a lunch when we go to SeaWorld or something.

Last night we were looking at prices for tickets of different activities we want to do. We know we want to go to Seaworld, and a fun museum called Wonderworks, and most likely Cirq De Solei ( sorry if I spelled it wrong)

This wasnt our first pick for our honeymoon we were looking at jamaicas Sandals and Hawaii, but we are interested in a house right now and have our ties with the guy and we would really like to put as much money as we can to the house!

Anyways, Just thought I would let you know we booked it. I have been waiting impatiently to get started and now its finished :)

Frustrated

Annoyed by Littmans Jewelers

Okay Ladies. I ordered my FH wedding band back on December 22nd. They told me the day I ordered it that it would take a week and a half. I called them two days ago saying that it has almost been a month and I didn't hear anything. The lady took my name and number and told me she would call me back in a day. I get home from work yesterday and there was a message on the answering machine---says that the ring is being processed. I then get another call today when I got home and now they told me the ring is on backorder until MARCH! They don't know when in March. It could be the first week or the last week in March. IM SO ANNOYED BECAUSE NOONE CALLED ME. I HAD TO CALL THEM FIRST!! So anyways, Im geting a little annoyed. Right now we are going to wait it out, but if it gets closer to March and the ring isnt here we might have to order a differnent one. UGH!
