Oh! Best wishes to you, Anna! and congratulations to the lucky guy. Have to wonder what took him so long, but then:Its funny how you can look in vain,
Living on nerves and such sweet pain,
The loneliness that cuts so fine
To find the face you've seen a thousand times

Thanks everyone!
I swear, I´ll be a wreck in no time -- only a few months left! Gah! 
The reason we want to get married in August is because we fell in love with each other in August 1996. 
However, I do have some ideas already....but it feels slightly over-whelming at times.
It will be a rather small wedding with 40 guests or so, no more, and we will have the reception at home in the garden. The weather here is usually warm and lovely in August.
The ceremony will be held in a nearby church which is the cutest little church you ever saw.
So, that takes care of the location at least. *sigh*
All you married couples -- how was your weddings? How did you deal with the general crazyness? Do you have any good advice for me? Please, tell me! 
Nancy, what took him so long, you ask...
Well, God only knows.... actually, I know! Why fix something that isn´t broken?
Also, he really, really doesn´t like his relatives! Hmm....that would qualify for the understatement of the week, I think....
So, we will invite our closest families and friends, that´s all.
Anyway, I´m off to do some more planning!
Thanks again, everyone! |

I hope that your soon to be mother in law doesn't arrive to your wedding late because she is drunk. Or that you and half the wedding party get food poisoning the night before from tainted rehersal dinner. Or that you don't find yourself driving down the interstate in a wedding gown at about 80 because you are almost late due to some idiot at the make-up counter making your maid of honor look like a clown. Or that the person who took the wedding video erased it. Or that you accidently sling the train bearer into a rose bush causing her to get scratches. Or that you go to toast and realize that there are no bottles on the tables for your guests.
It's a stressful time but the good thing is you probably won't remember much about the day until you see the wedding video. I'm sure yours will go much smoother than the list above that happened to my wedding in 2002. Having around 40 people will make it easier at the reception.
Anyway thats just my poor attempt at some humor to calm the bride to be down. Your wedding will be a dream.

We wrote our own vows.
It seems nonsensical to me to use the copy of a copy of a copy, the same old stuff that a bazillion other couples have sworn to over the last how many 100 years. Take some time to research, read the vows, lots of different copies and versions, be sure you understand what they're saying and what they mean.
Edit them to reflect your personal beliefs and lifestyle, make them something you believe in and something you can live by - make them more than just a recitation of what someone else thought you should say. That was them - this is you and the rest of your life.
I started with the traditional vows used by the church I grew up in, and modified them after a lot of reading and soul-searching. Everyone was very supportive, the ceremony was beautiful and that much more special, and as the years pass, it is a memory that is still important to me.

LMAO! my first wedding - we actually started about two hours late becuase we'd (*he*) lost the marriage license! I should have run while I had the chance!!
Second wedding, much smaller, happier, ... but the ring was tied to the ring bearer's pillow, ... you can see my father in law in the video getting his pocket knife and passing up to us ... we also managed to catch the curtains on fire with the candle part of the ceremony!!! It was put out quicky enough to avoid damage to anything but the decorations, but it made for an interesting video.
