shopgirl24 I love it!! Do you have a date selected?

No, not yet. We want to pick the venue and then go with a date based on availability. We're thinking Aug/Sept but after seeing this place it would look gorgeous in fall decor so maybe Oct?

The venue was really pretty and I'm definitely leaning towards choosing it.

I'm back after being gone awhile and don't know your story. Are you getting married?? If so, tell me all the details including when, colors, cake flavors, and dress

Kthnx

chad5285, yes I'm getting married. FI proposed just before Christmas and we're finally getting around to planning ours. We're trying to pick the venue/date at the moment.

Feel free to tell me all about it as you go. I wasn't into planning my own wedding but I love hearing about other people's

Not to worry, I'm sure everyone will get tired of my planning updates. 😉

Feminism to me is being so bad at cooking that your husband insists on cooking.

FFWC: I'm not nearly as bad at cooking as MH thinks I am.

Never. Most of us started on TK. Wedding planning is everything.

One crucial thing I want to throw at you is make sure that you have a backup ceremony location in the event of bad weather.

Also did you get your dress yet?

That's good advice, thanks! Especially since you never know what you're gonna get in WA. The venue I looked at today can easily host it all inside if need be.

Make sure you discuss that with them and have a plan written out. Never assume they will just think to do it.

I'm also pro-cupcakes. I feel they are very unappreciated at weddings.

We had so many cupcakes. But none of the guilt of asking someone to cut cake for us.

I am fast approaching my 5th anniversary. I've been thinking strongly about finally making an album.

She mentioned it to me when she was showing me around but I'll make sure if we sign a contract.

No. I kinda want to put it off as long as possible in case I GKU. I don't want to go through a bunch of alterations or have to pick another one. Is that wrong?

As in I have no idea who to pick as my maid/matron of honor? Who I would have used bailed on me and everyone we know about two years ago. I could pick my sister who won't be much help (I planned a lot of her wedding for her) or a GF I've gotten to know really well and am close with but only because FI grew up with her? I'm leaning toward my GF though, screw family politics.

Sometime late next summer. We're choosing the venue and then the date.

That's unfortunate. My sister was my MOH and I was hers.

Do what feels right? Or do you have a cousin or random penpal?

My sister and I have never been super close so part of me is sure it'll be okay if I don't choose her and part of me is worried about the fallout. As in she may not speak to me for a while.
