Well, we got in a fairly substantial fight over the place of the wedding last night. He wants Mexico and thinks I only want this place because my parents want it. Not true. After fighting half the night about it, and getting nowhere, I looked for the trustee of the chapel, got her in contact with my mother this morning and had mom make a deposit on it to hold the day we want. It's not much, we can cancel without it being a financial problem at all, but nonetheless Himself hasn't approved it yet so my ass is grass if he finds out. And please, let the archiving COMMENCE!

Right now I want to tell GAL that the chapel is beautiful! I wanted to have my ceremony in a historic mansion but the rooms are all chopped up inside and the biggest could only hold 75 max. I was heartbroken, but we'll at least be able to take pictures there, thank goodness. Our ceremony will now be in a huge old stone Methodist church and FI's dad will officiate. We're also having a candlelight ceremony with candlestands at each pew. It'll be beautiful. Our reception will be in my hometown in a gorgeous hall with candles everywhere. I picture it to be very elegant! The drinks will be flowing from cocktail hour until the last dance. An awesome party it will be! we need our own thread!

Right now, I'm saying wow, Froggie - your future FIL is officiating? That's a dream scenario. Yes, we need our own thread - should we call it "The Wedding Bell(e) Blues?"

GAL, I will chime in that (1st I'm a Hoosier, born and bred, but have Texas blood running thru my veins, trust me, my heart is in Texas!! Dh's family upper class thinking but "poor" they looked down their snobby noses at us "hillbillies" ok?!! ) DH and I were married and it is a family tradition to have a Dollar Dance, and then announce who won more money the bride or the groom, and you bet its a pride thing (my daddy wasnt about to lose LOL I ended up with a couple of $100 bills!! Thanks to daddy!!) It is also a family tradition NOT to go to college and to get married right away!! I went to college(graduated), and we got married before dh graduated - so money is tight, or down right non existent!! I've not been to a dollar dance since those early '80's, most of the weddings we've been to here in Illinois have been with friends that are (ok what's a polite way of saying not just out of school? and working? sensible???!!) and so I can see where you would feel out of place having a dollar dance, I wouldnt now... but my cousin in Indiana her son is getting married in Sept, and I'll let you know, but I'll bet they'll have the $$ dance, they are going to be moving in with mom and dad until they can get enough money for the security deposit on a rental apartment... Now you say your family was in the booze industry? Have you heard of the Polish tradition of dancing with the bride or groom and you either take a shot before or after? I attended one of those weddings, and they did this instead of the dollar dance (which they never heard of!!) and I promise I'll keep your secret, and I love the location you've chosen, I've been there... its lovely!!

I can usually be counted on to ramble for paragraph after paragraph and have on many occasions filled most of a page all by my lonesome (sp?) but Right Now I really don't have anything to write about - but I'll try to think of something.

yes GAL, my future FIL is officiating. he is a Rev., and the church we are getting married in was his church for 10 years. he took a job as chaplain of a retirement community about two years ago and had to step down as their pastor, but is so happy he gets to perform our ceremony at his old church since it holds a special place in his heart.

Me too, Froggiegirl - and money dances do suck. Actually, I think I'm going to tell Colossus when he gets home. I can take whatever he wants to dish out, and I don't want him to find out later I asked Mom to hold the facility - he'd be much angrier if found out I lied (which I haven't yet). I mean really, what's a $100.00 deposit in the larger scheme of things?
