This is jeffersonsbride09's Pink Wedding!

Hi Beautiful Brides!
Its been awhile since I have posted on WBC! I have been
so busy and with the hoildays coming my time has been
really tight!!
I hope your all doing well and are moving right along with
your Wedding Plans!!

I found these cute chair labels I think I am going to use.
I was wanting to do something special for my mom who
passed away last summer and I was thinking if I use these
labels then people in Jeff's family who don't know about my
mom will understand that that is where she is going to sit!
I wanted to have my brother, sister, dad and I all carry a
special flower and when my father walks me down the isle
we can all meet at my mom's chair and place the flowers on
it together.

Are any of you girls using chair labels? I think they are cute!

Since most of the planning is coming from me, Jeff stated
that he wanted to build our Ceremony Arch as a surprise to
me. I am very excited, we went into the mountains hiking this
weekend and we found a lumber yard with the the wood I was
wanting for the arch! I know I probably sound like a crazy woman
all excited about Wood! But I really only liked certain types of
wood for the arch to make the whole wedding come together :)
And I am excited to have Jeff make it and surprise me with it!
The wood came with bark and all, so he is going to have a lot
of work on his plate, but I guess since it is the only thing he is
really helping with, It shouldn't be a problem for him to get it
all done in about 6 months.
I want to have the arch decorated with fabric, like the pictures
I have posted! I love the clear Tulle looking fabric, but I do also
like to have things colorful, so we'll see what I come up with!

I have been searching high and low for the perfect dress for
our little flower girl, well, she really isn't that little, she's nine
and going on 16 she has been so unbelievably picky about
her dress! First she wanted to wear the same dress as mine,
then we couldn't find one like mine that wasn't for 2 and 3
year olds. So, then we started looking for something more
like the bridesmaids dresses and I think we finally found one
that we both like. Well, I have liked most of them, I guess its
her that has finally found one she likes!!

Jeff and I were engaged one year ago today! :)
I can't believe how fast time flies and before we
know it May will be here and we will be getting
married!! I'm so excited for the wedding and to
be spending my life with someone so wonderful!!

I was questioning him this morning on what he
bought me for our 1 year engaged anniversary and
he looked at me funny! I think it's a special day!!
I deserve flowers or something!
We are Huge Office fans so he told me I can have
Pam's dundie for longest engagement and thats
my present. :)

I bought some lanterns!! I think it will go perfect with my
new idea of a moonlight evening wedding. I'm so nervous
and excited at the same time! I have always loved the idea
of having Paper Lanterns hanging from the ceiling at our
reception so I'm excited to get them to see if they are
everything I have made them out to be. On the other hand
I'm a little worried that the shades may be a little off, but
if they are and I can't use them then I guess its back to the
drawing board, but I really hope that they are going to be
perfect. Cross your fingers Ladies!!

I also want to make some Pom-poms and see how they
would look together. I love the Pom-poms also. They are
very cute. I am going to run to Hobby Lobby tonight to get
the supplies and try to make them over the weekend!
I'll let you all know how they turn out!

If any of you are thinking of making the Pom-Poms here is
the directions for the big ones and the littles ones that you
can use as Napkin Holders! I'm going to try both!

How to Make the Pom-Poms
You'll need tissue paper and 24-gauge white cloth-covered
floral wire.

Hanging Pom-Poms
1. Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make
1 1/2-inchwide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.

2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over
center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of
tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.

3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.

4. Tie a length of monofilament to floral wire for hanging.


Napkin Rings
With just a few changes, these follow the same steps as
the hanging pom-poms.

1. Stack four sheets of tissue. Cut a 10-by-5-inch rectangle,
going through all layers. Make 3/8-inch-wide accordion folds.

2. Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, slip over center
of tissue, and twist to secure. Trim ends of tissue.

3. Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.

4. Bend wire into a loop to fit around napkin, and twist end
around loop to secure.

GIRLS!!!!!!

A friend of mine found a website with a calendar that
has the moon phases and the sunrise and sunset times
for the upcoming years and there will be a full moon on
the night of Our Wedding!

It changes everything!! I am so loving this right now, I
love the idea of a late moonlight ceremony!

SO what I am thinking now is that the sunsets around
8pm and the moon rises around 9. I would like to have the
ceremony around that time. It will be so beautiful!!

If I have the ceremony time around 8-830 that would still
give us some sunset time and the moon rising. I think
it is going to be great!
I cannot wait to start planning some of my new ideas!
Its almost like I am starting all over with planning the
wedding.

Here is the website that we found all this information on
StarDate Online | Sunrise & Sunset Calculator

Just incase any of you want to check out the times! :)

Pink:
This color embodies the gentler qualities of Red, symbolizing love and affection without passion.
Women who prefer Pink tend to be maternal.
Pink desires protection, special treatment and a sheltered life.
Pink people require affection and like to feel loved and secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate and fragile.
Pink people tend to be charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.

Green:
The color of harmony and balance, Green symbolizes hope, renewal and peace, and is usually liked by the gentle and sincere.
Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any price.
Green people can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, so they may get exploited by others.
They are usually refined, civilized and reputable.

I think it is fun how these colors match who I am and I love it, I picked the perfect colors! :)

Ok ladies,
Here is my annoyance for the day or last month.

I have been wanting to rent a photo booth, so I
was doing some research trying to find the best
deal.
Well, Jeff's mom, grandma and I went to a bridal
show a couple weeks ago and there was a photo
booth company there. I was talking to them, they
had some really good deals that came with the
scrapbook table, which was also what I was wanting

Ok, well the sales people at the bridal show couldn't
book my day because they didn't have the books the
owner did, so I had to call him.
They said if I booked today I got 20% off and if I book
within the next 2 weeks I get 10% off.

This was on a sunday and the sales people made it
sound like I could call the owner today.
I tried calling the owner and no one answered, so I
left a message about 7 that night I got a text from this
same number that said whats up which I thought was
weird. I texted back wanting to talk with you about a
photo booth I'll just email you tomorrow.
He sent a text back saying my email is down I will
email you the contract later in the week.

Well, I got the contract, but I felt weird just sending
a contract and MONEY to some guy I have NEVER even
talked too.
I tried calling him and it went straight to voice mail, so
I left a message this was last Mon. Never heard anything
so on Friday I called him again and left a message.
Still nothing. I then sent another email on Sat morning.
He wrote me back yesterday saying he's having troubles
with his phone and wondering if everything was set or
if I still needed to talk with him.

OK, now I still have yet to talk to this "owner" and he is
thinking that is fine, just Wondering if I need anything else.

Do any of you girls see a problem with this or am I just
overreacting?
I think it is bizarre that he is very unprofessional as a
business owner, texting his clients?
Why is his email and phone always having troubles if
he is a business owner? Wouldn't you have a back plan
if your cell/business phone just wasn't working?

I just think it seems sketchy? What do you girls think?

I know you've probably already seen this cute
little boy mad about football!
I fear this same picture may be taken of our
own child someday :)

My hubby to be is a football junkie! Him and his
buddies are crazy!
It doesn't matter who it is thats playing, they
usually have a favorite from every game!
He is a Huge Broncos fan, but he plays fantasy
football and he has other players through out the
league that are on his fantasy football so he
has to watch them too!

On Saturday he has his college football favs that
he watches and Sunday is the same thing.
I am laughing at him right now because I can hear
him screaming at the TV right now!

Do any of you girls have football crazed men in
their life?
I love watching football too, but after a few hours
I can't do it anymore!
I love the Packers, born and raised in Green Bay
and we are diehard fans, but at what point are you
considered a nut job :)

I do get a lot of stuff done on Sunday's because
when football season starts we barely leave the
house!
Today I have already cleaned the house, and have
most of the laundry done,
I made chicken noodle soup (its cold here),
I gave our dog Marlie a bath, and now I'm hanging
out with you girls :)

Happy Sunday!

My goodness! I don't know about you girls, but
I am obsessed with my wedding colors!
Everything has to be pink and green! Its almost
out of control!

I have always loved pink and have always been
a little obsessed with it, but since the planning
started, it has become much worse and its not
only pink! If I see anything that has any pink or a
lime green color, I have to have it!!

All of my girls presents for standing up are all
pink and green so far. I know that kind of goes with
the whole wedding stuff, so I don't feel its as bad,
but it doesn't stop there!!

My friends are even starting to make fun of me for
it, they tease about how everything has to have
some form of pink/green in it.
A good friend of mine she just had surgery
to have her thyroid removed and she is one of
the friends who makes fun of me the most -
She was in the hospital for a few days and I went to
the gift shop to get her some flowers and balloons
and just for jokes, I wanted the ballons to be pink and
green just to mess with her, the only ones they had
for pink were its a girl and the only green ones they
had said over the hill, so I ended up walking into her
hospital room with Its a Girl and Over the Hill balloons!
At least she laughed :)

I also have pink drinking glasses, that I've had for years
that I always use to drink out of WELL, the other day
at hobby lobby, and I found GREEN straws! So now I
even drink pink and green!

Ok, girls!
How bad is too bad? At what point does it become too much?
Are you girls having the same obsession or am I crazy?

Hi Girls,
I'm am having such a bad day today! Well, I wasn't
until I got to work!
I am an Ophthalmic Tech at an Ophthalmology clinic
there are all girls and one gay man and the women
are all great, I really could not say a bad word about
any of them!
I have worked in clinics before where the girls are so
caddy and it sucks well, not here, we all got lucky to
find such great women.......
The problem in our clinic is the gay man! He is Horrible!
Now ladies DO NOT take this wrong I am not attacking
every gay man, JUST him!!!
I have had A LOT of gay men as friends and most of them
are very caring and have feelings for others feelings!
Well, NOT this guy!!! He is the meanest man you will ever
meet! He has told me I am fat, and I am not the smallest
twig the bundle but I wouldn't consider myself to be fat!
He is the HUGEST Drama Queen, he will say anything to
hurt your feelings
I got in this morning and he starts in, I was crying before
I was even able to put my purse away!
I just wonder why people are like that!
Well, with him I think I know why he is the way he is...
He is so miserable within himself he want people to
feel the same way he does!
Sorry girls for the early morning vent, but I just needed
to get it out before I started swinging! At him!!!

I saw this on Ms Soontobemrskeiling and I thought
it was neat. It almost scary because mine was very
much like me. I am a gemini, so any of you that are
gemini's here are yours also :)
For any others here is the website to check out your
own!

Your Bridal Style -
Funky, eclectic, edgy, fun

What's Important to You -
Fast-paced action and excitement
Cutting-edge style with dabs of tradition
An awesome music mix by the best DJ
Lots of variety and crafty touches

Wedding Mantra
"Curiosity is my companion and guide."

Wedding Dress -
Let's start with rule number one: Gaudy and girlie gowns must be "eliminated" (to quote your fellow Gemini Mike Myers of Austin Powers fame). You're a sporty sign that looks great in basics like tank tops and cargo pants, so why veer from what works? Gemini rules the arms, torso and waist, so choose a gown that flatters these areas. With your biceps, you've got the right to bare arms, so go strapless or wear a simple, spaghetti-strap style with a jeweled sash at the waist. Gemini women often have a boyish build, so create some curves with a corset or wrap-style bodice. Avoid boxy shifts and overly structured styles and go for soft and fitted instead. Striking a balance between masculine and feminine and structured and flowy is key. If you're small-busted, a halter or high neck gives you the chic, sleek look of your Gemini sisters Angelina Jolie and Courteney Cox. A unique or avant-garde gown, even a short dress, might suit your personality well. Gemini rules the hands, and if you're good with yours, you might even pick up needle and thread to make your own one-of-a-kind creation. A splash of color goes far, so don't feel trapped in "bridal white"—let yourself dip into the rainbow for a dress you truly love.

My Ring
Gemini rules the hands, so your ring should be a great fit, since it's sure to be noticed. As the sign of duality, try a double ring or a contrast of masculine and feminine styles. Jeweler Isaac Gottesman of Chicago's Dimend Scaasi (dimendscassi.com) recommends a tension-set ring with a funky modern metal band that's also curvy and feminine. The tension setting makes the diamond look like it's floating magically. Choose a princess-cut stone, which is square and ultra-sparkly and has lots of facets.

My Girls
You put the "party" in bridal party, Gemini. Pack a limo with your loudest friends and hit the drive-through window en route to the chapel. As for dresses, there will be nothing stiff and formal for your maids! More like short, sexy and racy—or at least above the knee. You might even put your bridesmaids in costume—they can dress as hula girls, for example, and put leis on guests' necks as they arrive. You're not big on having your bridal party look like clones (even if you are the sign of the twins). To mix it up but keep some coordination, send your maids to a place like David's Bridal, where they can choose from a range of tops and bottoms in the same color and fabric.

The After Party
Originality and diversity are the keys to your special day, Gemini. To satisfy your need for variety, think in contrasts. An indoor-outdoor wedding keeps things exciting and surprising. Find a caterer that specializes in "dinner by the bite," where your guests feast on portion-size tastes of many fun dishes. Since your mate is probably quite different from you, consider adding a unity candle to your ceremony, and have family members from each side light it to symbolically bring you together. Aim for funky decor, like a chocolate-brown aisle runner with sky-blue or hot-pink variegated stripes. Bright, patterned tablecloths and chair covers can carry the color scheme onward. As an air sign, you love to feel the wind on your face, so stage your wedding on a cliff or in front of dramatic windows. With your love of adventure, you could even skydive into your own reception and recite your vows while airborne—why not? Theme weddings are great for Geminis too. Hire a mariachi band and go south of the border, or round up your favorite fiddlers for a hoedown barbecue celebration. The key is fun, fun, fun. You are the kind of bride who jumps into the pool in full bridal regalia, getting the whole wild night started!

My Glamour :)
Emphasize your Gemini-ruled areas: arms, hands and torso. Adorn your wrists, even your upper arms, in cocktail rings, jeweled cuffs and intricate bracelets. Or if you wear a super-girlie dress, create the striking contrast your sign loves with a tough leather wrist cuff. Gloves look sharp and unexpected on you, especially with a strapless dress. You love to surprise people, so skip the dyed-to-match shoes and throw on some heels in shocking pink, neon green or electric blue. Tuck a flower behind your ear or put on a fun headband—wear your hair loosely or flowing freely. A few hair gems and sparkly touches keep you feeling fun. You get bored easily, so you might even wear your hair one way for the ceremony and in another style for the reception. Come prepared!

Thanks Soontobemrskeiling!

I never really told you girls about my proposal Jewlery.
I have already told you all about the proposal, but Jeff
didn't propose with a ring. He proposed with what will
be my wedding day jewelry.

To start from the begining, my mom and dad were in
an accident a year and a half ago and my mom ended
up passing away a few days later. My mom and dad
had already had a living will and since I was the oldest
daughter I was given her wedding rings. Plural because
she had her first wedding ring and then my dad bought
her a new one later for whatever reason.

Anyways, I had talked to Jeff after that and told him that
I would love to use my mothers second wedding ring
my wedding "band". I will be giving my sister my mom's
first ring as a MOH gift to her.
Jeff had just stated that since he doesn't want to try and
buy a ring to match my mothers, he would just get me
something else and after we were engaged we could
find a ring to match my mothers for my engagement ring.

He ended up buy ing me the Journey of Love Diamond
necklace and matching earings. I love them!
I think they are so pretty and I am going to wear them
for my wedding day jewelry.

I also took pictures of the ring that I found to match my
mom's ring. I am more of a white gold type of girl, but my
moms ring was yellow gold, so I went with that.
I have pictures of them apart and together, let me know
what you girls think.
I think they look pretty good together.

~Sorry the pics are blurry, I tried to get them clearer but it
didn't work~

Yay!!
I am so excited, I finally found Jeff's Ring!!
I have been looking high and low for
the perfect ring for him!

I wanted it to be silver and I didn't want too
much Bling, and either did he :) He's not a Bling
kind of guy!

I thought finding his ring was probably the hardest
part about the wedding so far.
The planning has been easy, I already know
what I want so I just have to put it all together, and
that has been pretty simple for the most part,
But his ring was hard to find.

I guess, it wasn't that hard to find the right ring,
I just knew what I wanted in my head, finding at the
jewelery store was the hard part!

Hi to all of you beautiful B2Bs or brides already!!
I have been so busy this week, I feel like I haven't
been on WBC for so long!
But I guess when your use to spending 24 hours
a day on this website, even the slightest decrease in
time makes me feel like I haven't been on in a month
when technically its only been like 24 hours, if that. :)

I just wanted to see how all of your wedding planning
is coming along.
Work has been so busy this week, I really haven't had
any time for any of my wedding planning stuff!
Which is a bummer, because I love planning my
wedding!
I Never thought I would enjoy planning this much, and
I Never thought I would ever become so obsessed!

My biggest planning priorities in the next week are....

1. Need to figure out who I am going to rent the photo
booth from (I already have 2 places I need to choose
from) and book it for our day, so I don't end up losing
it and then I am going to be so bummed!!

2. Need to call Sarah, who does my hair and get something
set up with her.

3. Need to finish getting a few guests addresses and send
out the rest of the Save The Dates. I have 8 addresses
to get and it has been so hard trying to get them. We are
either playing phone tag, or I'm waiting on someone else
to get me their address, since they want them on the list!

4. Need to get ahold of our photographer and let them know
the days we are open to get our engaement photos done
this month. We have been putting this off til now, because
I love fall and the beautiful colors, and I wanted to have our
engagement session after the trees have started changing
colors.

I think that is about all I need to do this week, which doesn't
leave me too much time since tomorrow is Thursday!
I have Fridays off though, so if I need to, I can get most of
list done then :)

I hope your all having a Wonderful week!

Ok somehow my first post got deleted,
so we are going to try this one more time.

Happy Sunday!
I thought I would introduce you all to my side :)

My little sister Tane' - I love her!
She is my Maid of Honor

My brother Paul - I also love him :)
He is going to be MY Best Man.

My BFF since middle school Jena - Love her too!
She is my only bridesmaid :)

I was just wondering if any other brides are having
the opposite sex stand up on their side.

I had thought about having my brother on Jeff's side,
but Jeff has a friend from high school Christine and
he was wanting to have her stand up on his side.
She lives in Conneticut and I have never met her, so
I didn't want her on my side, Right?
So I thought screw it, instead of trying to figure it all
out, I'm just going to have my brother stand up on my
side and Christine can stand up on Jeff's side.

Any of you having your brother or buddy hanging with
you on your side?

I thought it was neat to see what has happened
on your wedding day in history.
I went on to look at mine and it goes back to BC
weird huh?
You girls should go check it out, and see what has
all happened on your day!
Here are a few things that has happened in the
past on May 9......

1092 Lincoln Cathedral is consecrated
1502 Columbus left Spain on his 4th & final trip to New World
1671 Thomas Blood, disguised as a clergyman, attempts to steal England's Crown Jewels from the Tower of London.
1754 First newspaper cartoon in America-divided snake "Join or die"
1868 The city of Reno, Nevada, is founded
1899 Lawn mower patented
1955 Sam and Friends debuts on a local U.S. television channel, marking the first television appearance of both Jim Henson and what would become Kermit the Frog and the Muppets (AWESOME!!)
1962 Laser beam successfully bounced off Moon for first time
1965 Bob Dylan played the first of two sold-out performances at the Royal Albert Hall in London
1992 Final episode of "Golden Girls" airs on NBC-TV

There is so many more, but these were some of ones,
I picked out!
Have Fun!

My FH and I keep arguing about this....

I was thinking of having a registry at somewhere
simple like Target or Kohls. We don't really need that
much because we both had full households when
we met and when we moved in together we combined
all that stuff, so we have so much stuff, we really don't
need much. We actually gave a lot of our double stuff away.

Jeff thinks we shouldn't register anywhere, because we
really don't need anything, and he would rather get money
or gift cards for gifts.

I think that we should at least give them the option of money
or a gift.
I know we really don't need to much stuff, but we can always
use extra towels and some fun stuff like a wine fridge, or
bedding.
Also, I told him how are people suppose to know where to
get the gift cards if we don't register anywhere. Right?!?!

I really don't want to ask for money or gift cards either,
I think its tacky.
My soon to be MIL received an invitation in the mail a few weeks
ago and they had a registry card in there for the different places
they were registered at, which I feel is fine, but then at the
bottom, they put Gift Cards Appreciated
And we both thought that sounded tacky and pushy.
I think if your going to buy someone a gift, you shouldn't have a
say in it.
I don't send people cards on my birthday saying gift cards appreciated.......

What do you ladies think about not having a registry?
And where have you all registered?

Ok, here is the story.....
(I'll start from the beginning so you can all enjoy my excitement!!)

I had seen a couple brides talking about send-n-seal.com,
so I went online and looked at the invitations just to see
what they had.
I was a little doubtful about the whole send n seal, but when I
got to the website I found these really cute invitations that I fell in
love with!

The colors were pink and green......

BUT I couldn't tell the shade of pink, so I ordered a sample
And guess what......
I got the sample in the mail today and they are PERFECT!!!!
The shade of Pink is just Perfect

They are so CUTE, I don't even know what to do with myself, I am
VERY excited!! And the send n seal isn't that bad, It folds up and
you can place a clear sticker on them and done!
OH, and the best part.... they will only cost me about $150.00

I love them, they are going to be just perfect for my invitations!!

<<<< I posted some pictures for you so you can also see how cute
they are!

I was just wondering how many of you are paying
for your own wedding or getting help from parents?

I was feeling bad this morning when I got the check
from my parents for the wedding. I never really asked
for the money, I just expected it.
I know they want to help, but I guess I could have been
a little more respectful and asked.

My dad really doesn't like giving his money to me, but
I think he also feels abligated because of my mom.
My mom passed away last summer, and my dad isn't
really wanting to help, but he knows my mom would
have spent A LOT on the wedding, so I think he is ok
with giving us money, because he would have spent
a lot more, if mom was still here.

Jeff and I are paying for a lot on our own too, but my
parents and his parents are paying for the majority
of it. We talked about going thirds, so Jeff and I
are paying a third and each of our parents are paying
a third. That was my dads idea....

OMG! I found a great pair of shoes for a GREAT price!!
I am so in love with them!
I have been wearing them around the house all day long!
I bought them from Charlotte Russe.

If any of you girls are still looking for your wedding day shoes,
you should check them out. They have the cutest shoes EVER!
And you can get them in almost any color, you could dream of!

If any Pink Brides are looking for Hot Pink shoes,they have plenty
and for very cheap! I bought my shoes for $30.00!

I am so excited!!!! I love them!
I also posted another picture of a pair that I almost bought before
I found the ones I got!!

You can check them out online too
www.charlotterusse.com

I went to Victoria's Secret tonight and look at the cute
Pink stuff I got for my girls!
My soon to be Mother in Law bought me a wrap
for christmas last year, and I love it!
I was so exctied to find all this stuff.
Its just a start, but it is a very great start!

Alright ladies!
We're jumping on the bandwagon!
Its time to lose those extra pounds that have
been weighing us down for the past few
years!
FH and I have decided to get a little bet going
between the two of us to see who can loose
more weight by the wedding.
The winner gets to look nice in a swimsuit for
our honeymoon! ;)
We have both gained some weight since we
started dating and slowly but surely the scale keeps
moving up when we step on, and we want it to
start going down, instead of up!
So, wish us luck.........
I think we're going to need it! :)

PS!!!!!! Biggest Loser starts tonight!!!!!

Ok, I am wondering what everyone is doing for your RSVPs.
I went to lunch with a friend the other day who is getting
married in January.
She was saying that she is not having response cards
sent out with her invites. She was going to have everyone
RSVP on their website and for those who are unable to get
online, she's going to have them call her to let her know.
I have never heard of that.
I like the idea of the guests just RSVPing online, and it would
save you A LOT of money.
You wouldn't have to pay extra for the response cards, and
you wouldn't have to pay the extra postage either.
How many of you girls are using the old traditional response
cards and How many of you are having an online RSVP set
up on your website?

Happy Friday Lovely Ladies!
I wanted to tell you all about this new planner I got last week!
Its called the Anti-Bride Wedding Planner. It has a lot of really neat ideas and projects.
Here is how it fell into my hands!
I went to Barnes and Nobles last week with a friend and I was the tag
along, so I thought I would go check out the "getting married" section.
I saw this planner, And I am not really an anti-bride, I like a lot of the traditional and non-traditional wedding ideas,
BUT this book really isn't completely off the beaten path,
It has DIY projects for invitations and a bunch of other tools and tip on
planning your wedding.
Its actually very helpful, if any of you are looking for a planner, I would check it out.
Here is a website I found that gives you a little preview of the first couple chapters.

girl, and jr bridesmaids. I am going to get some

I found them on weddingstand.com

We Finally asked our friend Hans If he would be our Officiant.
He was very Surprised! We caught him so off-guard his first
words were "Me? Why?"
He did glady except the position after the shock wore off, and
is very excited to marry us!
Hans is a very good friend of Jeff's and he has been around
since day one! He is such a great guy and has a great personality for the job :) We are very happy he is going to be such a huge
part of our day
I was wondering how many of you ladies are having an actual officiant or if you are planning on have friends or family members marring you?

GIRLS!!!
We just got our Save the Dates in the mail today!
I am very excited, I can't wait to get them all addressed
and sent out!
YAY!!!!
Sorry the pics aren't the greatest, but you can kind of get the idea :)

I have a VERY good friend, who has always been there for me,
and her and her boyfriend of 6 years just broke up!
I feel so bad for her!
I really want to do something nice for her, but I don't have any Great ideas. I have some good ones, the ones I always use, like a card, candle, you know what I'm talking about, but I want something different.
Do you ladies have any ideas?

I think the final decision for whether to have signature cocktails or mocktails has been decided!
I was really worried about having alcohol at my wedding, just because a few family members have problems with alcohol.
I try not to get in others people business when it comes to what they do on their own time, but when it can mess with Our day, then it becomes my business.
So, I think we are going to stick with some good old fashioned pink lemonade and limeade mocktails for the big day!
Our colors are Pink and Green so that will go right along with the color scheme and I don't have to worry about anyone ruining Our Day!
