Ask a Question - From im2babyblue4u's post

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 11:48:00 PST

I think she rose an interesting question when she asked: what celebrity guest would you invite to your wedding? Right away the first thing that popped into my head was.... ROBIN WILLIAMS why that was the first thing i dont know but he is pretty hilarious...

Inspiration Board - Possible change in color

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 08:17:00 PST

okay i know i decided to ignore everyones advice and chose rose petal pink over the hot pink, you all told me to go with the hot pink, my bridesmaids said hot pink, but i went ahead and decided on the rose petal pink. you were all right i was wrong. my dress came in and instead of the beading being rose petal pink it is..hot pink..for what reason i dont know. but i guess i'm going to have to make the best of it and instead of having light pink and gold as my colors i might have to switch to....darker pink and peach. i think this way might actually be better, they definatly do pop better.

Clashing - with fh's family

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 07:40:00 PST

thank you all for the advice. i think i need to move out until my fh realizes that he isnt really helping them but just making it easy for them to take advantage of both him and me. the bathroom situation, just send me over the edge. i will be speaking with my fh tonight and my parents this weekend about possibly moving back in atleast until i graduate in may. so i spoke with my fh about how i have been feeling and he agrees that i shouldnt have to put up with everything. the brother has a month to find elsewhere to live.

Ask a Question - replacing the hor'dourves

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:51:00 PST

okay so we met up with the caterer and for budget reasons had to axe the hor'dourves...simply because i think paying between $1000-2000 for a snack is too much. the thing is I LOVE SNACKS especially before dinner...soooooooo i started thinking, that we ARE having a spanish style wedding, at a spanish style venue, and my dad really wants a mariachi there. so i thought: CHURROS! since we are having the ceremony and reception in the same place the caterer was really pushing the hor'dourves to keep the guests occupied while we did pictures between the two. i thought the mariachi could come in after the ceremony (outdoors) and while we strike a pose we could have a refreshment table outside with aguas frescas (we already own the glass fresh water holders- whatever you call them) and we could buy like 30 churros from costco for $30 (they are HUGE) and cut them up into mini churros and have chocolate and strawberry dipping sauces. is this idea lame? too much? what do you think?

Reception - we officially have our venue!

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 08:40:00 PST

we will be having our ceremony and reception at the padua hills theater! we put our deposit down last night...yup last night was def. a night to remember....we put our deposit down and now the wedding seems really REAL, we went to vote and got free starbucks with our voting receipts, then we got home and it was QUIET for good this time. we couldnt have had a better day if we tried.

Inspiration Board - Kids table?

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 08:23:00 PST

if i decide to have one i think the only candy will be in the take out boxes...maybe a miniture centerpiece that is hard to break or a fruit one...i like the idea of putting a white square sheet over the table so kids could color "on the table"

Example of why I love my honey - I am devastated

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:11:00 PST

*On Monday it was my sister's birthday so me and FH went to go visit, afterwards we went to a movie but had to leave because FH was feeling dizzy. We went home and were both feeling pretty tired (i'm recovering from a cold). 8pm- I fell asleep with my two cats Mango (in pic) and Lola next to me. FH said he would join me when he finished cleaning the litter box (a third cat, a kitten named Babar was sitting with him watching him clean). That's the last thing I remember. *As a note I should add that Babar is the son of a neighborhood stray, we took him and his siblings in a few months ago and he's the only one that wasnt adopted. *On to my story, the next day we were getting ready to head out. and FH was feeding the cats and asked me where Babar was since he's usually the first one there when he hears his food. I pointed at a corner where he was sitting watching me brush my hair. FH walked over to him, picked him up, and carried him to his food while Babar cried. When FH put him down Babar sniffed the food then ran limping behind and under our dresser. When FH tried to pick him up again he did a kitty scream so I ran over got on my knees pressed my head against the floor and extented my hand to him. Babar let me rub his head and meowed high pitched when I picked him up. I wrapped him up in a towel and held him up and noticed his leg was just dangling there. I was horrified I didnt know how to react..so I cried. My FH was trying to comfort me with no sucess and didnt know what to do. I told him I had to take him to the vet but since it was 6am they were closed. FH took control. He called his work and said he had an emergency so he wouldnt be coming in, helped me get Babar comfortable, harrased a vets secretary until she called the vet at home so he could come in early. Drove me over there with Babar and talked to the vet about everything since nothing was making sense to me. Paid for the xrays and co-applied for the payment plan. (Babar's femur is broken and needs surgery- he should make a 99% recovery but it will cost an estimated $1285) and FH is planning already for when Babar comes home on Friday. I was a complete mess because I still cant figure out how it happened our cats are indoor only, one story house, only thing to jump off in our room is window sill, bed, and dresser. I had just quit my job so I didnt know how I was going to pay for it. and it was killing me seeing one of my babies in so much pain....so FH saved the day!
