Oh Froggie! Thanks so much for sharing your bio! I have registered at theknot as well. I haven't used the site much since I've kinda put planning on hold since we have no clue what's going to happen with my fiance and iraq. Question, how do you like the guest list organizer on theknot?

Jewels - Thank you so much! You're too sweet! Time has flown by...people kept telling me it would and I didn't believe them, but boy was I wrong! I love the verse on my invitations, too. Both sets of parents got a little misty when we sent the proof to them to ok. I plan on framing that section of the invite and hanging it in our bedroom after the wedding. I can't wait to have a slice of our cake! Chocolate with peanut butter filling was a must have for us, it's our favorite, too. Everything is coming together. I was a bit apprehensive about the color choices, but the dresses turned out great...as soon as I saw them I just knew I made the right decision. I think the flowers are really going to be the highlight of the wedding and pull everything together. Happy Anniversary, even though it's a few weeks early Saxy - Once you get back into planning, you must get back onto the Knot, most importantly the message boards! It is soooooo helpful. I believe they even have a discussion board for military brides that may help you. As far as the guest list organizer goes, I never used it. I tried to set it up but just couldn't figure it out. I ended up just putting all my guests addresses in a word document. Probably not the best thing, but it worked well for me. Good luck to you with everything!

Froggie...I joined "the Knot" as well. I love it. Especially the guest list thing. It makes keeping what you've done and what you need to do yet straight easier. I don't know about anyone else, but never having been married or involved in a wedding as much as this entails I have no idea what to do! Things like that are a saving grace...Along with loved ones that are willing to help with it (thanks SS!).

I have posted samples of my wedding favors in my folder if anyone cares to take a gander. I would appreciate any further ideas.

Thanks War, Sea, and Twinkie. I can't wait until I'm able to share wedding pics with you all. Only 61 days to go... I had my first shower yesterday! It was supposed to be a surprise, but I kind of figured it out anyway. It was still fun and exciting and we got some awesome gifts from my side of the family. There was soooo much food too, my girls really went all out. The decorations were fall themed - they had fall colored rose petals on the table and cinnamon scented candles...the room smelled so yummy! For favors they gave everyone a chinese take-out box filled with rootbeer barrels, and cinnamon and butterscotch candies. Everyone loved them. They played some fun games and gave out some really great prizes - Bath and Body Work stuff wrapped in gold tulle and tied with a dark brown ribbon. Everything was just amazing! I don't have many pics yet, but I do have one that I'd like to share with you all - the cake! It was the cutest thing I've ever seen! Steve is half Syrian and his mom and him both collect camels since it's part of their heritage. So I have my frog collection and Steve has his camel collection. This is what my younger sister had them do for our cake...

Oh, I forgot to mention that my tiara came in last week. I actually ordered it online because I fell in love with it and just HAD to have it. It's beautiful, so delicate and feminine looking. Exactly what I wanted! I can't wait to have my hair trial to see how it works out. Here is a pic...
I'm going for my second dress fitting on Wednesday and will be taking pics. I will post them as soon as I can!

Love the cake, Love the tiara! Holy cow.. talking about SECOND dress fittings? LOL I went in to get one dress yesterday and walked out having bought another! LOL Thing is, it fit perfectly, like it was meant for me. LOL Only thing they have to do is bustle it. I'll have to take a pic of my tiara up close later. Right now, I must be off to return my fiance's car to post!

I have a question that I can't find on any of the wedding sites. What is the proper order that the parents/grandparents of the bride/groom are seated? There is also a stepmother involved. I do understand she is seated before the other parents. Does it go grandmother of groom, then gm of bride, then mom of groom, then mom of bride? What about dad of groom? Where does he fit in?

Abby, As far as I know you have the order correct. Usually the dad of groom would walk a step or so behind the mother of groom and her escort.

Froggie I can't believe it's only two months to your wedding!! Your tiara is beautiful. I love hearing about your plans, and everyone else's in here. Saxy, are you getting married this weekend? Best of luck and a beautiful day. I'm sure it will be perfect.
