This is mintcy's Pink Wedding!

Since I never really gave an introduction.

Junebug and I met while in high school. i was in the 10th and he was in the 11th. We had a mutual friend who decided to hook us up. At the time she was dating Junebug's uncle, who was only about three yrs older than us. anywho. Since she thought it would be cute for us to go out she told the both of us that the other was asking about them. We didn't figure this out until years later. So everytime she see me she would tell me Junebug said what up and when we were going out, and she will tell him the same thing. Lucky for her we decided to talk and went out on a date. We dated for a year in high school. Which was really fun because I was a cheerleader and he was in the band and the school mascot.

After breaking up for now an unknown reason maybe use just being young I don't know, we ran unto each other back in July of 2002. It was funny I was taking a back road to get to teh gas station because I was completely on E and praying that i make it and he took the same back road home from work. We past each other but noticed each and and we both hit our breaks. He backed up to me and now the rest is history.

We have been through all the ups and downs a couple can go througha and has survived through them all. We have really grown togeher.

Did or does anyone feel like changes their date is like starting ova. Although I have a good bit of things there are a lot of things i still do not have.

Ok so I have added on to the theme. From Underwater treasure to Underwater Treasure Island. because I want it to look like they have stepped into a city that's under the water. I will try not to do any reposting.

bling nails just a little fun to much for a wedding may do for bridal shower.

first attempt at arrow street signs to use to direct people through the tables to their table

cookie cigar buffett. I always wanted a cigar and ice cream buffett but gave up on the idea because of the budget, well now I can actually have it Yey.. It will not be cookies but I thought it was so cute. The cig buffet will be a DIY project. i will decorate me 3 yr old shoe boxes

desert station gota have one to go with the coffee and tea station, which would also help me with cutting the cost of my cake. This is being donated by one of my servers. Now QUESTION? you know the deserts come on those white foam platters should i keep it that way or purchase platers?

Ice cream buffet. also a DIY project, iceam cream is always on sale 2 for 5 so I will get different flavors and different toppings. pic 2 is more of the set up I am going for.


I love the white birch bark. Do anyonwknow where I can get it in Miami?

Nothing with the cake other than it is different not what I would want. Thelast pic i found looking at sea glass. While I don't care for the table set up I do like the way the runner was cust on the edges, so i kept it for an idea.

1. place cards with clothes pens as holders
2. cake pops very cute
3. poms to throw at teh bride and groom
4. same

We all know the more thime we have for planning our wedding the more changes are going to me make. My wedding colors has changed from pink and brown. Although both colors will still be in the colors the colors are now SEA FOAM GREEN, OCEAN BLUE AND PEARL PINK. Of course I can't drop my pink it's my favorite color.

I have been so busy I have not been able to log onto this site as much. FH had surgery on his shoulder and will be in a sling for the next 6 weeks. So pushing the wedding back was ver y smart of me to come to my sinces. LOL

Anywho! My sister has decided to be my planner, she does planning on the side the only thing is she is in SC and I am in Miami. I have purchased a few small things nothing big. Since pushing the wedding back it gives us more money for the wedding which I love. I am debating with myself with going for the vendor i absolutely love (which are the pics to the left) or the vendor that is really cheap. Now the one I love really go with my theme, the other one is like $55 dollars a hour but I will have to do all the deocrating and they do not allow alcohol. Don't know

But I am glad to be back.

I have been scanning through some BTB and leaving message but hasn't been loggin in.

Congrats to all the brides whos big day I have miss and to the brides who's day is coming up.

I want to tell all the Haitian my heart is with you and I am praying for everyone in Haiti. My FH stepdad is over there and we have not heard anything about him yet. FH is becoming a little worried but is having full faith in GOD.


from the mouth of my 3 yr. old dueces Smoochez. lol!

I wanted to send a warm shout out and thank youb to peachy bride 09. My apologies for the delay. I check my e-mail from my new phone at the time, and yes i had received you gift. I thought i save it so i could answer it once i got off from the computer but i deleated it and couldn't find it. But i did remember you snet me an e-mail about receiving the gift. i haven't opened it yet waiting on tomorrow. Hope you have received yours. Merry X-Mas

OMG, it seems as if this has been the worst year ever. I have to change my date again i guess three times the charm right. I'm am just so aggravated that I have to change it again. Fh hasn't worked since Sept. He is getting unemployment but it's not the same with work he got OT, plus he brought home more than the unemployment check bring in. My car has not been working since June, so we are sharing his car which only runs on premium fuel only so we are using a lot of gas. He started looking for another job but there really isn't a lot out here plus he doesn't have a lot of education to put on his resume. Urggggggggg. On top of that he has been having problems with his shoulder and going back and fourth to the dr. a lot, who has been sending him to therepy a lot so it made it even harder to find a job. Now Miami has had a few cold days and Fh shoulder was stiff one morning had to take him to the dr. and now the doc is talking surgery sometime in Feb, something about removing some scar tissues. I have been holding down the bills and we have been using his check to take the kids out, gas, house supplies. We still have things that need to be paid for the wedding, I know I am nnot going to be able to pull this all off on my own. Although I am so excited and want to have my wedding already, I know financially I can't afford it. i was going to try and do it last minute with my taxes, but I really do not want to be that bridezella that I know the last minute stress will bring to me. BUT OMG I WANT MY WEDDING! This year in April. Ughhh.

Right now we are looking at pushing it back a year, because I want an outdoor ceramony and anything after April is hurricane season, all the way until the end of Nov. when we will be experiencing our little winter days. The thing with that we can't predict what days would be cold and which ones would be hot. I hate to pick a day to have an outdoor ceramony by the water and it's cold out. So were guessing we have to go with the early part of 2011. Ughhhhhhhh. Everytime i think about it that's all I could say.

So how many ladies had to change their date more times than wanted?

Ok ladies so two pst down I said I had found my gold boxes for $10.00 for 144, so i go to purchase them tonight and i get hit with a $10.00 handling fee, and it tells me Your order total includes a $10 small order handling fee. To avoid this handling fee, increase your order subtotal to at least $100.00 by adding more products to your shopping cart. Then i had to put in my city, state and zip for it to tell me what my Shipping - UPS Ground fee would be and it came out to $9.02. so everything totalled $37.92. Are you serious?

Ok DIY ladies. if you purchased you table linen did you also purchase the chair cover or did you get the disposable chair covers? After planning for so long you would think I had this under control but after having to change venus it putme back into needing linens. the old venue came with linen and chair cover.

Ladies i am going to make my own table linens because the prices are just crazy. Anyways what is the most common fabric for the table linen I am thinking silk but not sure. Also do anyonw know about how many yards i should purchase to make enough for 12 tables that are 90'

I was playing around on the net a few day ago and found this pic and loved it. Since my theme is underwater treasure and I love pink i have been using it as inspiration. What do you ladies think?

******************Update*********************
Thanks to all you wonderful ladies. I have found these @ bulkpartysupplies.com I get 144 for $18.90. I am going to order them this weekend i will most def. give an update once I rec.







Ladies I am in need of your help. Because of my budget I am changing my favor, I cannot afford the treasure chest with all the different candies I wanted to put in them as previously posted, unless i could figure out how to make my own treasure chest.

Anyways, i've been thinking and thinking what would go with my underwater treasure theme. So I thought of gold bricks. I am here now googling them trying to see where to buy them and what they run. I am also googling how to make them myself.

Do you ladies have any other ideas on what I could use as a favor that go with the theme? I am really at a lost now.

Thanks ladies

ok ladies i need your help with picking the right hot pot for the coffee and tea station.

A few weeks ago i went to the salvation army, goodwills and thirfts looking for things for the weding main a tea pot and stainless steal dessert pans; however my luck was no good, they were no stainless steal ones and the few pots i seen were pricey

So i went searching for a new one, here are a few ones i found tell me your picks

So FH doesn't wear jewerly. All I have ever seen him wear is a watch although for the past few years he has been talking about a necklace he hasn't brought yet.

Anyways, we went to my jewerly man today because I have been trying to surprise him with his band but honostly i don't know his style since he has no jewerly. So today I took him to look at a few band he wants gold but i am allergic so I wear silver. Anywho he did find one that interest him, but then asked if he could get a watch instead of a band. Chris (the jewelor) has a g shock with diamonds and the works I must admit it was bad and i know he will wear it. He usually wear brently watches. Now the G shock had a sports band so it could be worn everyday, the one we saw was green but Chris said he can get it in black for him. I haven't answered FH yet, but i am considering it.

Plus my last day at work we were talking and the guys was saying wearing their ring brings them more attention than what they got when they were single. Don't get me wrong I trust FH, but i do not trust a single woman, I use to be one althoug i can say I have never messed with a married man.

Is anyone else FH doing something else for an alternative to the band.

Anyone having any entertainment for the wedding, cocktail hour, or recption?

I want the african dance from coming to america the movie done at the reception right after they announce the new mr and mrs. the dancers come out, then we come out.



Sorry couldn't get it in english

these are baby breath. I think this is so pretty and simple. what do myou ladies think

ok ladies i did my monogram in powerpoint and when i saved it for you ladies to see our names did not come out. Can you ladies suggest anything? I would love for you to see it

I saw these on divine disposables. these are clear shell plates what are your thought on these. Since the theme is underwater treasure the shell will work but i am not so sure about the clear.

Please give honest opinions.

Has anyone ordered from them. I was playing on the net and found them. ther are located her in Miami but ship everywhere.

I like some of the things they have and wanted to know if anyone has worked with them already. If not i will be the first and advise you ladies.

Check out the website divinedisposable.com.

If you ladies would please look at the link and look at the table setting and give me your honest opinions. My brother says the paper cups make the table setting look like it a kids party instead of a wedding. I am not using those plates either. i am getting the fake china but using papers cups for water cups will help a lot with the budget.

I am having a buffet style dinner. Shold i do menus? I am thinking it will help the guest to already know what they want when they get in line.

What do you ladies think. Of course I will do them myself but i'm not sure if people have them only for the formal dinners of buffet as well

Which free wedding website would you ladies say is the best. i am ready to put one together for out out of town guest to know whats going on with the planning and everything but i don't know what site to go with.

I would love to go with a site that also music

Ok so i don't know if i want the china look or the square please help. I asked FH and of course he was no help he said they both look good which one you want. i'm like if i knew i wouldn't be asking now would i? Argh.................

What do you ladies think

Fh and i had a lunch sale to raise money for the wedding. We did pretty good to.

We had:
Baked chicken or fish
peas and rice
green beans
dinner roll
slice of chocolate or vanilla cake
pepsi, seirra mist, or tea

The lunches went for $8. Of course a few people complained the price was to high but I felt like it was a great deal you got an meal, dessert, and drink for one price.

Anyways my friend and i cooked all day Sunday, FH, my brother and his cousin fixed plates and delivered the food.

Has anyone else done anything for their wedding. i did sell avon for awhile but i am to busy for that it didn't work for me.

Has anyone had to cut their guest list?

Ok so I am on Smarty had a party checking out the prices of the plates and everything to order this weeken and I have to spend a lot for 150 people. Their cases don't even come that big they are 120 at the most. i am thinking of cutting my guest list so I can just purchase a case and no extras.

I am searching for plates for
Dinner
Cocktail hour appt. plates
Salad bowls
Goblets
coffee/tea mugs

Did anyone have to do this and was it hard to cut people. Or know a website that's cheaper than Smarty?

Just wanted to let you ladies know that Smarty had a party has chocolate fountains for sale @ $99.00

Hi ladies in all my madness i forgot to change my date.

A while back i explained to you ladies that i had to find a different venue because the person who orginally booked me also booked someone else so they cancelled both of us. Anyways after seaching forever i found a place that was half the price we had orginally paid. and the outside sideing is much nicer.

Where do you ladies go to get the colored fake flowers. I have been looking and looking and only seem to see fall thngs no roses or anything. Please help. I want to try and do my own bouquet.
