We consulted with our parents on the date and everyone agreed it would work. We are inviting aunts and uncles, but drawing the line and no cousins are invited as we do not know them that well etc.</p> <p>Fast forward to Feb of this year. FI and are at a big get together for his side of family (this is quite unusual so there are many family members I have not met and he has not seen in several years). One of his cousins comes and brings his own FI and another aunt mentions, as she introduces us, that our weddings fall on the same day! What???!!! It was so awkward, but I just smiled anyways.</p> <p>So then I was chatting with the cousin's FI - turns out they have nothing booked yet, no venue, no offiicient, nothing. So I was kind of hoping they would realize that our guest lists would have many of the same people, so it would make sense to change their date (since they had nothing booked and we have almost everything planned, incl. STD mailed out).</p> <p>Now, the situation is that they are keeping their date and the grandparents are not going to EITHER wedding. I totally understand this, since it is awkward to pick one and then get accused of playing favorites, etc. But this is seriously upsetting that my FI's grandparents will not be attending either wedding. Not to mention, I don't know yet if any other of this aunts and uncles are going to attend either. This is so unbelieveably awkward and upsetting. I suppose it is possible that the cousin did not know of our wedding when they set their own date, but his parents would have already received a save the date back in Oct.</p> <p>Oh and I would be more than willing to change our date, but like I said, we have booked everything! And several of my family members have even booked plane tickets, so changing our date is totally out of the question.</p> <p>I'm so upset...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-friend-thats-in-ring-competition-1#post-3223548 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:58:59 +0000 yellowshoe 3223548@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm sorry to hear you have a friend like that, but sadly....that's a lot of the girls I know. And the main reason I don't have many girl friends. Girls are very competitive and can be very snarky. I just shrug it off and tell myself that it's a compliment that they feel the need to compete.</p> <p>Sadly, my BFF makes snarky comments like that ALL the time. It bugs me from time to time, but I remind myself that's just her personality.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dollar-dance-in-new-england-not-for-debate-please#post-3223547 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:58:24 +0000 SuperKate 3223547@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>No, I have never been to a wedding in New England that had a dollar dance.

So freakin excited. It will be a great motivation for me to start running and hopefully lose this baby weight.</p> <p>The honeymoon will have to wait a few years, but maybe by the time DS is 3? My mom/sister could watch him. I'm not even picky about where we go, but our "honeymoon" was a four-night stay at a local B&amp;B so we didn't even leave our boring state. I want a real vacay with DH.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the house... we had to make the responsible decision that we're not financially ready, even though we had been pre-approved and were looking. We backed out after awhile and I think that was the smartest thing we've done.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck to all you guys with your lists! I do wish I had done more before TTC, so stick with it if you can :)&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/2-story-vs-ranch#post-3223537 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:56:01 +0000 BoiledPNut 3223537@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>How long do you plan on living in the house? &nbsp;If it's your forever home, go with the ranch. &nbsp;That way when you get old you won't have to worry about climbing the stairs. &nbsp;Plus you don't have to worry about lugging laundry and a vacuum up and down the stairs all the time. &nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/who-decided-your-wedding-date#post-3223536 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:55:39 +0000 cant.wait.to.be.mrs.d 3223536@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>FI and I chose it, well he narrowed it down and I agreed with the date he picked.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dollar-dance-in-new-england-not-for-debate-please#post-3223535 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:55:11 +0000 hotchildinthecity 3223535@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I've been to two weddings in upstate New York where it's been done.&nbsp; Didn't like it either time.&nbsp; It always seems to occur when everyone is having fun dancing and then you have to sit at your table for-ever while the dollar dance goes on for several songs.&nbsp; I personally never joined in because I just don't want to.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/bacon-bouquet-for-v-day-heck-yeah-i-am-making-him-one-question/page/3#post-3223534 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:55:00 +0000 KristenGettingMarried 3223534@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Has anyone considered tinkering with the temperature?&nbsp; Like maybe 350 for an hour, then 425 for 15 minutes or whatever?&nbsp; Sounds like the middles just aren't cooking.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/jcrew-principessa-gown-in-lace-038-organza-or-white-by-vera-vw351011#post-3223533 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:54:59 +0000 redpinkorange 3223533@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p><img src="http://bios.weddingbee.com/pics/174217/photo_2.JPG" />I'm actually crazy too! &nbsp;I first bought the silk principessa gown from JCrew, then returned it and bought lace and organza one.... but since then I have returned it too! haha!</p> <p><img src="http://bios.weddingbee.com/pics/174217/photo_1.JPG" /></p> <p>Apparently, I'm a lot more finicky with gowns than I thought I was! &nbsp;Now, I'm making my own dress... or actually skirt... and I"m going to purchase a top/coctail dress with a bodice that I really like/feel comfortable in! &nbsp;I don't know what size you are, but I'm 5'9" and I got the size two. &nbsp;It fits really well and it did feel magical, but it wasn't the dress for me in the end. &nbsp;The white by vera wang dress you bought is beautiful!!! &nbsp;I would stick to it if I were you. &nbsp;In the principessa gown you don't get the form fitting look AND the website makes it appear as though there is more to the skirt than there actually is.... when I was prancing around in the jcrew lace and organza I noticed that I could see my pink undies! &nbsp;Too see through!!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/one-million-moms-boycotting-jc-penney-bc-ellen-is-the-new-spokesperson/page/3#post-3223532 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:54:58 +0000 Miss Orchard 3223532@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>THEY ARE NUTS.
