LMAO!!!

Yeah, we're thinking my uncle and two very close friends of FH (a married couple, who will read the prayer of the faithful) and, maybe another family member of FH's. Not sure how many readings we're going to have yet, since it's outside of the church.

Re: January Brides! Check in.

Another thing....... is it okay to NOT get a jacket for over my dress? I'm just not feeling it..... and I'll hardly be outside (and, as I have mentioned before, I am a sweathog)

AND, another thing..... is it okay to book a makeup vendor w/o a trial? I know who I want, and, I love her work, and, who knows..... she might be booked on my day, but, I'd rather just call her and book, and then worry about the trial later.

What do you gals think?

my dress probably already smells bc i had like a crying/sweating fit when i tried it on when it came in LOL

and i booked jenn AND oksana without a trial and i am so glad i did!

Re: January Brides! Check in.

Okay, I just called Jacqueline Nicole to see if she is available on my date.

I hope she is.

If not, back to the drawing board.

FH's Aunt kept telling me she was too old too! im like your never to old to be in a wedding when they want you in it!! lol ... But thats soo nice you added your brother and sister, it prolly means the world to them!!

I actually finally picked my readers, my boss ((were actually really really close)) and FH's step grandma, loove her and shes been so helpful, she would take days off of work just to come see me try on gowns and stuff, so I knew we wanted her in the wedding somehow!

Re: January Brides! Check in.

Ugh I have so much left to do!! BM dresses are being ordered this weekend. One of my girls lives out of state and hasn't gotten her measurements done and we've been waiting on her. At this rate she might not be in the wedding at all
Invites are ordered, but I have to submit a list of addresses to be printed.
We need wedding rings
I need a corset
My shoes have to be dyed
I have to write my vows-- FH is done with his
Get marriage certificate
Get gifts for my crew

There's sooo much more, but it will all get done

Okay, so, maybe I'm crazy..... BUT.

Anyone hoping for a tiny bit of snow??? I am, it'll be so nice, and make for great pictures.
