When is your wedding?

[Maeyken]

82 days left... and some things left to do!
- get last 3 invitations sent out (waiting on addresses from fiance...)
- get final dress fittings
- order flowers (we're doing our own so we just have to order them like a month before)
- meet with reception hall (about food, decorating, and set-up)
- fiance has to find suits for groomsmen and himself
- we have to find somewhere to live! (house-hunting with real estate agent on Friday)
- last premarital counselling session with pastor on Thursday
- I'm sure there's more things to do!

So... things are coming together, and still some significant things left to do, but I am trying not to worry about them!

I'm so jealous of you all! ;P I simply cannot wait until I'm engaged and planning my wedding! Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later.

Just wait and be patient, you're time will come. I really thought I'd never be to this point, but now I have 89 days! I still can't believe it. God will lead in His time. I still feel like there is so much for me to do. I'm making headway on addressing my invitations which I need to send out soon. Little by little things are getting done Less than 3 months! yea!

Ditto to what JPL617 said... It's exciting "thinking" of planning a wedding, but in my experience, it's not only the fun details, but thinking "oh my... where wouldi hire 'tablecloths' from?!".

But in another respect, planning for the future, talking of having children, our future, extra training, where to live, ways to live etc... that's fun and exciting!

 

[lacedinlavender]

I know my time will come, but it's difficult to wait patiently sometimes. LOL.

I don't want a big wedding at all, so I don't think I'll encounter the really negative points of planning.

Hmm true... (Don't get too much of an idea if you have a strong family or his is strong... that makes your big ideas fade into the distance a little...)

i'm fed up now my fiance and I have been engaged since January 2005 and we were going to get married in september but his parents went mad and basically said that they were going to disown him if we did it but now I am really unhappy because we have been forced into doing something which is not right for us.

 

[lacedinlavender]

Kiora, I think you have to do what is best for you and not everyone else. Your fiance is marrying you, not his parents.

too late wha can I do now because we have booked the receptiin and paid deposit for next june etc, but I don' know what to do because it is making my really unhappy

 

[lacedinlavender]

Getting married is such a happy time; you shouldn't have to do something you don't want to do just to please others. I honestly don't know what you could do if you've already got plans underway for next June, but maybe if you and your fiance talked with his parents you could reach SOME kind of compromise so you could be married sooner?

Honestly? I could care less about all these details - I ended up letting mum organise a lot of them, because at the start I said I didn't see the point, but SHE said she wanted to make my wedding 'lovely', and I needed these things for that. Those things included cake, flowers, stationary, ornaments all of that.

I compromised and MADE myself get interested - I had to. I wasn't excited about the planning at all - frankly I hated nearly every second...

I am not the typical bride.

Sasch...I'm kind of with you on that one...I enjoyed planning at the beggining of it, but some of it just seems to overwhelm me and I just wish things could get done on their own. My wonderful mother has helped me tons as well As far as decorating, I'm pretty much leaving that up to these ladies in my church that I know will do a good job. They know my colors and everything, so they will make it beautiful

 

[Restoredsoul]

My wedding is on 27th May!! i still need to find a cake but have done everything else myself - have been very decisive and i can't wait!

8 days to go, and it's all organised. All that's left is picking up my dress, getting my hair/nails/wax done, and meeting with people for the final time on the Friday the day before.

SOOO glad - couldn't think of anything worse than having to do orders of service next week or something!

Sasch

Heh... true... We are still to book caterer even... But hopeflly will do that on not this but next weekend...

We are a bit behind... but i really needed to rest after i returned from my trip... Starting to come together now..

 

[HisLittleHazelnut]

I have no clue when or if I will ever have a wedding. I would like to but we both come from VERY poor families, and we're long distance, so it's not like we have one common church willing to pay for it for us. I am hoping to get a job, and then we could be married anytime as soon as this summer to a year from this summer (depending on if I send him to Bible school again so he can be spiritually secure enough to be the spiritual head of house or not)
