LOL! Meggie, I must admit I'm jealous of you. I get to see girls in pretty dresses all day long but don't usually get to see them in their fully made up, hair "did" glory. We always ask for pictures, but I can count on one had the number of wedding photos I've seen and have only seen ONE of MY brides photos. I was so excited I hugged her neck!

So a word of advice, if you liked your wedding consultant .............. come back and show her the photos!

(I also ask for leftover cake and have yet to get any of that, LOL!)

Clio if you were in my area I guarantee you would get photos! We always take care of all the other folks who are part of the wedding.

Come to think of it, I really really wish you were here because every once in a while a bride is wearing a dress that makes me wonder who the heck let her pick it. I know you wouldn't do that (i.e. strapless on the wrong beauty if you know what I mean)

Meggie, I loved the photos on your web site! You really have a gift for photography--I wish you had been in this area for my daughter's wedding last May.

I now know that one thing we will do when daughter #2 marries is provide a list of additional poses/groups to the photographer before the wedding. Ours did everything we asked for (i.e., had checked off on the official list), but did not do many additional creative ones. So, I guess my tip to others is to make a list of anything you may have seen or dreamed of for your wedding album--it's a one-time opportunity so plan ahead.

We have been giving our couples 800 plus photos- if it moves or looks good, we photograph it!

Pass the Xanax this way, Ms. Spy. Today I learned my officient, a judge for whom I clerked on the court of appeals, has been grounded with heart problems and will be unable to travel to Illinois to perform the ceremony. Now on the one hand, I don't care as long as the judge is ok - he is a second father to me. On the other hand, I have a couple of hundred guests showing up for a wedding in 3 weeks and no one to perform the rites. (Insert hysterical laughter here). Truly, I was sitting at the hairdresser with foil highlight wraps in my hair this evening thinking "how appropo - I'm having my tinfoil moment now. I should climb that lightpost outside to make it official." I'm in my happy place, I'm in my happy place . . .

Anyone can marry you- just have someone really important to you get Universal Life Church credentials on the internet and they can do it.

GAL, I'm sorry about your friend and hope he improves. I'm wishing you the best in finding a suitable replacement for your nuptials.

Your Bridal wedding cake will be fabulous, but I was wondering why you don't just let Colossus have his 'Groom's Cake' be the chocolate chip cookie cake? That's what they do here in Texas. The Groom's Cake is always for fun and can be any flavor or shape, and is a second choice for the guests.

I was wondering the same thing, Grace! LOL
Maybe it's a 'suthurn thang'.

I agree with it originating as a southern thing. I first saw/heard of groom's cake in the movie Steel Magnolias, and now they are very common here in TX. Here are some groom's cakes from the site of the cake guy we used for my daughter's wedding in May:

Here's an article with a little bit of history about groom's cakes:

OK, they had Groom's cakes in Dennison TX!! And my very elegant Northern in laws, had no idea what the heck I was talking about!! Its still one of my fav memories, having my grandma and her sister come all the way from TX, and see that Groom's cake, knowing it was honoring them...

GAL - my ds's gf came to the wedding this weekend and was so excited we knew about the dollar dance, she said she was in charge (from Lake Zurich IL) of her sis' dance, she had a TIMER - for a $1 you got 30 sec, $5 2min 30sec......

so are you having the $1 dance??

ROTF - NO DOLLAR DANCE, READER!!!! Do ya'll remember the original name of this thread? Dollar dances suck LOL. No, that's very helpful to young'uns who marry and are just starting out in life. Colossus and I will have 90 collective years under our belt the day we marry, so we won't be dollar dancing. He's already griping about the extra garage he had to buy to move all his shit into so we can move all the wedding/shower gifts into the house (true story LOL).

Pcakes - MISS P-CAKES!! Are your really an ordained minister? We would LOVE to have you perform the ceremony, but you would have to karaoke "I Touch Myself" as we make our exit down the aisle. Think you can do that for us, girl?

Actually, after some ENORMOUS panic on our parts (most of my judge friends are from Indiana, which helps not when one is marrying in Illinois), my mother contacted a judge who is also a professional jazz musician/old professional musician friend of my brother who is in Afghanistan, is going to perform the wedding ceremony. We had dinner Saturday night with my judge who is having the heart problems (bless him, I just love this man), and he has already written the entire ceremony and committed it to Word format, so the Illinois musician judge is going to perform the ceremony my Indiana mentor judge created for me. And so life proceeds as it is intended. I am enormously distressed that my judge is unable to perform the ceremony; I am enormously impressed that a judge who is a longtime friend of my brother who cannot attend will perform the ceremony he intended in his stead. I am truly blessed.

Yes, my mother and I had last minute organizational meetings and pulled our hairs out making decisions while our men (Daddy and Colossus) played poker with the chips we got from our Vegas trip, but it seems like all systems go and all will be as it should. I asked Colossus' mother to provide a "borrowed" item to go with the "old, new, and blue" and she is working on it. The weather here has been fabulous, please lord let it hold for the wedding - our reception is outdoors. But if it doesn't - there are always the flaps on the tents. Sigh. Man, this wedding business is 'SPENSIVE!!!!

Love you all, I am so sorry I've been such
a stranger lately. I'm always watching and reading, but have had little time to post. Colossus even moreso - we are dog tired, and struggling to find sleep in the middle of everything else we must do in the next 3 weeks. We'll check in tomorrow and hopefully will have had at least a few hours sleep between now and then. Kisses. Kimi.

GAL..the love you and Colossus have is immense. I know you want the perfect day to celebrate and share those feeling with others. But that is not what matters. Don't worry about the perfect day. No matter what, the love the two of you feel together is what is important. You will be a beautiful bride and he will be a handsome groom. But what matters most is the relationship the two of you share afterwards, which is going to be a lifetime of love..and that is what matters.

I adore you both..you are a "perfect couple"..I wish I could be there for you on your wedding day and will be thinking of you on that day..and I am still going to flirt with him the next time I see him

Hang in there, GAL!!!

Glad that "tinfoil moment" passed!

It will be a gorgeous wedding no matter what the weather! And if not, I'll devote a chapter in my "I can't believe THAT happened at the wedding" book that I really should write!

See you soon!
