peoniespearls on "Unsure Whether To Include FSIL"

peoniespearls — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:41:44 +0000

I would put it off a little longer, I believe you said you had another year (?) until the wedding and I think as long as you "offically" annonce it 6 months ahead of time you'll be good. Perhaps by then she'll have matured a little bit....you could try including her in some wedding stuff & see how she reacts when she doesn't have to "show off" for the fam. Personally, my FI and I are including his his sister (she'll turn 21 on our wedding day) in the wedding party because as <a href="../profile/mmmarries">mmmarries</a> put it- she'll be around the rest of your married life!

@honeybear: lol we've talked, that isn't the issue with him. the issue is he knows i'm a control freak and he is a control freak and he wants total control over this because he knows once it is done it's my turn (bwa ha ha ha)... and he doesn't even like the fact that i know that he's thinking about it because he wants it to be a complete and total surprise. <img src="http://z.about.com/d/chemistry/1/0/y/h/madscientist.jpg" />

Just restating what others have said, but when it comes to things like expressing yourself on your wedding day... forget what's "right" - as a lot of posters have mentioned, the tradition of veils has a lot to do with some unsavory anti-women's rights practices... so just do what makes you feel beautiful!

Congrats. I know how exciting this is for you! We got engaged in late January, closed on our home in April and moved in June to a new state (where the new home was located of course). So, there has been lots of transition and lots of planning. It gets overwhelming at times, but totally worth it. Enjoy your new home !

Yeah, its really annoying not having control over this issue, I guess im starting to get used to it lol. I think maybe you should sit down and have a serious talk with him about your concerns. Everything you are saying is legit, I mean it is YOUR life.  as far as the other thing goes, i guess he knew i was listening and trying to throw me off. But thats sooooo mean to say its sooner than what it would actually be ya know???

mountain.bride on "FMIL issue.. not sure what to do?"

mountain.bride — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:36:59 +0000

I can sort of see her point, but presumably there will be other people around who can be her support during the (short) ceremony. I think she should mostly be very pleased that her son and husband get along so well, and that her son wants his father to be a GM. That is a really lovely thing and I think it's a bit sad she doesn't see it that way.

Are there any interesting spots at West Chester University?  I'm in Thorndale, but I don't know the surrounding area very well.

Hopefully tonight is it! It's been fun, but I'm ready to go back to my regular scheduled programing lol So far so good though Both teams using the bullpen already could make for a long last couple innings though....

I'm not dwelling on divorce. It's not like every conversation we have is about divorce. We've had 1 discussion about it. ONE. That's it.  I don't wish divorce on ANY of you! I am not "pro-divorce". I will do everything in my power to avoid causing such hurt to my future family. I made a poor choice when I used the phrase "run money". I don't ever plan on running. I'm in it for life. However, if something comes up I'd like to be prepared. I live on the west coast & we're supposed to be struck with a massive earthquake. I've been hearing about "the big one" ever since I was a child. We even had earthquake drills in school! I have a first aid kit in my car, I have an emergency survival kit in my laundry room... do I want this massive earthquake to strike? NO! It scares me to my core, but if disaster strikes atleast I have a few tools in place that will help me survive! Am I wrong to prepare for a natural disaster? How is this any different? Every time this thread pops up on the board it makes me sick to my stomach. I honestly wish this would go away. @all the posters who have been kind in their replies, whether you completely disagree with me or not: THANK YOU!! You are perfect examples of why Weddingbee is such a great community! I really do appreciate your comments & views on this topic!

I just wanna give this a little bumpy bump and say that i am so glad to see im not the only person who deals with stuff like this i think our size difference still takes the cake ... i am 4ft 9in and my soon to be is 6ft 6in. I love my big boo bear but i do wonder about how we can dance and pose for picture without looking alkward because we do usually sit to do pictures and such

Congratulations!!!

FutureMrs.Harless on "Huge Height Differences???"

FutureMrs.Harless — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:32:01 +0000

Well I have always liked taller guys usually only around 6ft though this is a little much but i love my big ol tall boo bear ... I dunno i just like a big tall manly man i suppose. I am not a heels girl at all! So I doubt i will be wearing much of a heel on my wedding day. It really doesnt bother me that people stare or poke fun we are so happy together it doesnt matter...besides standing on my tip toes all the time just gives my legs and rear a workout :P   LOL I am glad to see that there is other people who somewhat know what I am going through... Honestly in everyday life we barely notice the difference until someone points it out.  I guess the first time we really noticed how funny we looked together was we were walking through the mall the other day and came up a window that was reflecting like a mirror and I said hey baby look... and it was so funny and he stepped infront of me and said where did you go ... we were just laughing about it ... everyone was probably thinking we were crazy.   I will see if i can find some pictures of us standing next to each other... most all pictures we take together we are sitting down.

I think all of those traditions are just silly - do what you want!

We close on our new home in less than 3 weeks!!  I will be moving in until the wedding and then he will join me.  We are both very excited!  It has been a little stressfull with wedding planning and house hunting/moving, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.  Anyone else also dealing with a big life decision on top of the wedding?

September 18, 2010 and our colors are chocolate and ivory with orange. Also incorporating leaves and fallish decor. Sounds like SoontobeMrsFlushe and I are on the same page!!

peoniespearls on "I want candy - candy buffet inspiration............................"

peoniespearls — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:29:19 +0000

I was just at a wedding this past weekend and they had a similar display as the pictures above, however for about 1/2 of the candy they had "groom's fav./ MIL fav / Brother's fav" listed on the candy. And everyone collected it in mini take out boxes. It was a hit! Howevere, there was still a LOT of candy left over.

amanda.lynn on "FMIL issue.. not sure what to do?"

amanda.lynn — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:29:13 +0000

I can definitely see her wanting to be with her husband on that day, BUT I think that telling him he can't be a groomsman is taking it too far! He should be able to do it if he wants to - it's something that will mean a lot to both him and your FI.

Mattel on "best & worst wedding favors"

Mattel — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:28:31 +0000

My sister gave each guest a $1 lottery ticket. I had never seen this done, but I thought it was really fun and wasn't something that would just collect dust. The guests loved it. also, I went to two weddings in a row where they gave out photo coasters with cute words and stuff on them - between th two of us, I think I have8 or ten coasters that I was able to use old pictures in and I love them. I use them all the time - especially since I was looking for just the right coasters at the time! Worst - there have been a lot. One of my cousins gave this strange plastic champagne glass thing filled with lime green gel candle and at the bottom of the gel was this set of those plastic wedding rings. My mom just found all of ours and we used them just on the food tables at our Halloween party - we didn't know what else to do with them.

I guess the real question is... do people automatically assume you're NOT a virgin if you don't wear the veil over your face? lol.

elizabeth.blankenhorn on "How many times a week???"

elizabeth.blankenhorn — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:27:59 +0000

I'd say about 1/ week. In college it was up around 3x/night, but these days that's just not possible - we both work looooong weeks and have one kiddo in the house so...

CorgiTales on "Interesting WP question my mom brought up..."

CorgiTales — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:27:11 +0000

I'd say it falls under the category of nice but not necessary. I wouldn't expect someone to pay my hotel room... it is kind of part of what you agree to when you say "yes" to being an attendant.

6 sounds good to me! I go often on Friday, and they are always up for doing their Friday finds thing a little earlier than 6, too... So, if we get there at 5:45ish, I'm sure they'll hook us up... :)  However, do we think we will have a group?? perhaps we should do another Friday if this one doesn't look good for anyone but me and cali??

I'm planning to do the same thing as you. Legally I will be MyFirst MyMiddle MyLast HisLast, socially I will be MyFirst HisLast, and professionally I will go by MyFirst MyLast HisLast (I'm an attorney... my degrees are in my name and all my classmates know me by that name).

Coconut- I am a private person, so would be upset if my husband shared something personal with his family.  What did he tell them?

ellenphant on "Am I obligated to share all my pro pics with my MIL?"

ellenphant — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:22:45 +0000

If it were me, easy option, i would pull them. But if that means that you'd have NO shots of some "groups" of the family, I actually might even ask the photographer to digitally edit them. Not sure what kind of photographer you went with, but most these days should be able to touch them up so that it looks more modest (i am a photographer myself, but do not do weddings).
