Gal, my friend, I am so sorry things are going beserk for you and the Big Guy. Just think, in 7 (?) more weeks this will all be over and you'll be finished with trying to get things to go right. Girl, you go after that woman with everything you got tomorrow. They should even throw in something very nice for free for all the trouble they have been. I'm telling you, come on down here and I'll take care of everything. Love you!!

I have to respectfully disagree with this statement. My wedding is taking place in Vegas and there has been plenty of muss and fuss, and probably more on the way.

Well Gal, how goes it today on the phones? you'd think your stationary should make an impression or two!! Wow, someone doesnt want to book a honeymoon suite... oh I know they are waiting in case someone more important shows up, yeah thats it, so what would happen if say OPRAH came to town? You cant just book those nice rooms just in case you know?!! (sheesh, the nerve!)

and how can a tuxedo shop not know you paid for it? Sounds like a nice racket to me, I've often wondered about just buying one you know!! You wear it once, and hey, it sits in a closet... oh wait...

never mind!

Hope you find some humor, and time to enjoy!!

(oh the bushes, what about planting something to jump out of them, doves? butterflies??? lol j/k of course!!)

Gal, Don't forget to stop and smell the roses during the planning and big day. Overgrown shrubs, screwed up tuxes, etc. make for great memories later on. The church where I got married decided to erect scaffolding around the exterior the day before we got married. I guess churches need to be painted too!!

I know everything will be just beautiful! Congratulations to both of you!

LOL! I was shopping with my cousin last week for wedding stuff and we saw that cake topper. There's also a few more like it: one where the bride has a ball and chain around her ankle (I think), and another where the groom is trying to "run" away with the bride grabbing his coat. I hate all cake toppers, but these made me laugh. I was thinking the same thing Texannie, use one for the grooms cake, or even the cake at the rehearsal dinner!

OK, the Marriott has lost our business forever and we're giving it to the Hilton. Not going to tell that to the Marriott organization though 'til I set all their hair on fire with a letter I'm already drafting and they give us a free honeymoon to one of their resorts. Then I'm going to order 55,000 points worth of merchandise with our rewards points, right before telling Colossus to pull all his company's travel from the Marriott, too, and give it to someone else. Marriott must be in cahoots with Disney. Same people, different phone number. "Well, I can't do anything about it even though it's our fault we failed to book you after all your attempts; sucks to be you." At least we won't have to sleep in the car for our wedding night now - Hilton booked us a very nice suite without my having to pull the "my Mommy said" card. And they're not charging us $400.00 a night for a room they don't intend to give us anyway. Do you know that chick at the Renaissance, after I repeatedly stressed this was our wedding night/weekend, asked if we could negotiate some different dates? No wonder Colossus pulled out the GD word on them Sunday.

GAL - You raise hell! It's YOUR Wedding day! The nerve of those people at Marriott asking if you could negotiate different dates. Um, hello?

I'm also using roses as my cake topper. The regular run of the mill cake toppers I'm finding are just NOT my style. I did find a Frog cake topper that I am buying, but will just place it on the guest book table or somewhere...just not on the top of the cake, lol.

I also need to vent regarding RSVP cards. People, for the love of all that is holy, SEND THEM BACK! Regardless if you're attending or not. Regardless if you think the bride and groom will "ASSUME" you're attending. Regardless. Just send them back! Grrrrrrrrrrrr As some of you know, I have two cousins getting married VERY soon. I am now acting as wedding planner/coordinator for my one cousin's September wedding. Her RSVP date has come and gone. Still missing over 30 RSVP's. My cousin has no clue and just wants to not include them in the final count. I, on the other hand, say they must be called and asked what's the deal, are they coming or not. My fear is that she'll not count these people and they'll all of course show up, which translates into excess charges from the reception site. Grrrrrrr I swear some people need help! She also had a ton of people just call her to tell her they were coming, or better yet, hand-deliver the RSVP card. All that postage down the drain. Some people even had the nerve to tell her that she could steam the stamp off and reuse it. Oh my God! Honestly, it's a pre-addressed, pre-STAMPED envelope. All you have to do is write your name, check a box and send it back. Is it really that hard???

It isn't even my wedding and I stressing this much. Dear Lord, help me!

I having been watching the Style networks "Whose Wedding is this?" marathon all day. It was interesting on so many levels. First, I was loving this darling homosexual planner (and he made a point of this, not stereotyping) from Dallas. He went to a family reunion and it turns out his brother is a good friend/neighbor of ours! How's that for a small world! LOL

Also, they kept talking about the 'bridal portrait' being a southern thing. I knew the groom's cake tended to be, but northern brides don't get their portraits done?????

Some do, but most do not. Not to my knowledge anyway. I'm not planning on having "bridal portraits" done prior to the wedding day, but will of course have my photographer take some shots of me by myself after the ceremony.

OK, so I went to a fantastic CASUAL wedding this weekend. This was a guests-in-linen (as well as the groom), summer dresses (with some women in flip-flops) type of casual event -- by design. That's the way they wanted it, and it was lovely.

One thing they did that I'd never seen done before -- instead of having a cake, they had cupcakes.

Honestly, I wasn't too keen on the design/colors of the cupcakes themselves (though they were delicious!), but it was an interesting idea. Here's a photo:

People in this area put a picture of the married couple in the paper. For the engagement announcement, they generally use a picture of the couple, as well.

This area too Mak, in the midwest we put a regular ole picture of the couple together or after the fact in the wedding announcements you use a pic of the wedding...

and the cupcake thing, has anyone else but me watched the TLC show wedding on a budget? They quite often do cupcakes, so I wonder if that's what is happening??

ummm Froggie, I am hanging my head in shame... my dear cousin (2 yrs younger, we're very close btw) her son is getting married Sep 25 in the same town as my mil lives... well the cards were due back Sept 1 - and i havent gotten a response from dh, nor from my ds'... I know I'll be there... where I'll (we) stay is so up in the air... I have called cousin tho... she says "I am so ticked off at her dad that I'm putting down 5 - but cuz I dont want you to pay for 5 dinners - she says, finally I got that man to pay for the reception, nothing else, but by god he's paying for the reception" ok then, stepping quietly back...

It must be a family thing !! (anyway I tried to apologize, and thier wedding is buffet at the VFW, so no, I dont feel bad as far as head counts go, but I feel bad not letting my cuz know...)

Texannie, bridal portraits are a big thing in Louisiana! The latest trend is black and white outside photography that is just exquisite!

My best friend does special events and weddings and one of his brides a few years ago had the best photo. In a rural country scene, she was sitting on a dock on the side of the water in her $8000 wedding dress, barefoot. Her big toe touched the water at the minute the photoghrapher took the pic. The ripple effect on the picture was fabulous!!!

Same here. Black and white and outside settings. They use the Magnolia trees when they are blooming and it really is gorgeous. Maybe it's the "southern belle" thing!!
