firework display




I plan on having 'fireworks' on my wedding night regardless of what kind of wedding ceremony I have

less than 3 months to go and i've been highly impressed that particularly my family have stepped up to help. [especially since they kindly don't approve of me being in church]. also we have had amazing and wonderful help from people in the church. they have a good idea about where we stand financially and they have been a blessing to help out as much as they are. but just wanted to give you guys a quick update.

sounds like things are rolling along smoothly 

[Jennie-lynnie]

yay! Sounds like everything is coming along! I was hoping you would come along soon and let us know how it was going! Keep us updated! *

[Heather]

definitly. today mom and i are going to michael's. they have glass vases and decor rocks on sale for cheap. we are going to use those for center pieces on the tables.

[TRAV]

Y'know, Michaels often has sales in the local paper with a coupon for up to 50% off any purchase. Might want to look into it. Nice thread, btw. I've really enjoyed it.

[RandyWayne]

Very nice looking!!!



Now I need to ask.... Did anyone have a DJ at their wedding?
(I run my own part time DJ business as well as going to school full time.....)

[nicolejoy]

I had a DJ - it was provided as part of our reception hall package... It was nice to have someone else looking after the music!!

we ordered our wedding bands yesterday. they are very plain 10 kt white gold. should be in in about 2 weeks.

[Heather]

our wedding bands are in!!! is it bad i want to wear mine even though it's still over 2 months til the wedding? lol.

[acjmom]

   that was quick!  went from 2 weeks to 4 days 

[Jennie-lynnie]

Yay! This is so exciting! *

[Heather]

  that was quick!  went from 2 weeks to 4 days 

yeah i know. i was way surprised whenever they called to tell me they were in.

[nicolejoy]

This is totally irrelevant - but I bought a book from Amazon the other day and it said it would be sent within 2-4 weeks, and it ended up being sent within about 3 days or so!! I'm happy though coz I need the book pretty soon (it's a textbook for my course...)

Someone was talking about wearing flip flops to their wedding. I though this pair was kind of cute!!!!!

[NessasMama]

My wedding was pretty cheap. I got my dress at Fashion Bug. It was a long velvet evening gown. I only paid $75 for it. I wore black 2 in. heels. My maid of honor had a velvet evening gown also. My husband wore a black tuxedo and his Best Man wore a really nice black suit.

We used lots of tulle!!!!!! It was draped around the altar with clear lights inside of it. It was also on the seats.

The reception was held downstairs in the churches fellowship hall. The ladies of the church did all the decorating for it and the food. 

I think all total we might have spent about $300.

[Jennie-lynnie]

Those flip flops are really cute!

[littlegal]

I think they are ugly, but I don't like flip flops at all, so... :grin:

[myhaloisintheshop]

I don't like flip flops either.  I prefer sandles!

[*Christi*]

I do like flip flops but not platform ones... and those are a bit much!!  LOL

[SippinTea]

I don't like flip flops either.  I prefer sandles!

I'm with you!
