I wanted to take a moment to thank this wonderful, supportive community. There is no way I would have been able to plan my wedding in three months if I didn't have this place to come to when the stress got to be too much. 

@jenbrandner: Your eyes do not deceive you, that is indeed pumpkin pie. It was one of the three things my husband (!!) insisted on: 1) Pumpkin Pie 2) Apple Cider 3) That he and his groomsmen wear tuxedos. I would have been perfectly content with suits, but as he repeatedly put it " 'Coz every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man". (No really, he would sing it. Every single time).

Thanks so much to everyone else. It was a stressful few months, but we had a lot of help, from friends (a baker friend made the cupcakes and the tree) to my mother in law (who found us a caterer willing to make a full Thanksgiving dinner for a very reasonable price). A lot of things didn't go as planned, but in the end, we were married, and that's the important part. 

@JenniMichele: It is from David's Bridal, and was quite comfortable. I didn't have any problems sitting in it or anything. I did have a problem with threads coming loose and the pearls on them falling off. The night before the wedding, my MOH had me stand in it while she "pasted" all the loose threads down with clear nail polish. I also had a small problem with dried leaves getting caught in the train, but that was my fault for having the train out walking outside over dried leaves. Overall, I loved the dress, I loved the way it fit, everyone thought it was way more expensive than it actually was. 

Congrats - I love your flower girl's dress, it is so cute!

@theeekingeek: I raided the fall floral department at Michael's for my bouquet, my girls' bouquets, the boutonnières and the corsages for our mothers and grandmothers. I'm not really a flower girl, and decided I'd rather have something that I can keep longer than a few days. Plus, it was insanely cheaper. I think I spent just over $100 for all the flowers. 

Love the pics! Thanks for the shout out! and your dress is amazing. . .I think that covers everything

@Mrs Sarah McK: speaking of flower girl, her dress is so cute! where'd ya get it?

@elliestan: My sister-in-law made it. This was the inspiration photo I emailed her: http://www.projectwedding.com/photo/browse?photo_to_show=2346740&sort=newest&tag=orange&thumbs_page=18

She bought a couple yards of fabric (mostly tulle), cut it into strips, and knotted one end of them onto a piece of elastic, and layered the strips all around it, attached it to a simple halter, and then sewed the flowers onto it. Aptly named Lily looked like she was floating all day. Sorry, don't know the technical terms, not much of a seamstress myself.
