Sharing wedding plans!

[pope1982]

Please post your own wedding pictures, or for those of you who have daughters with weddings coming up, share them here. It is an exciting time and I'd love to see the different themes


Our wedding is going to have the colors that remind you of glamorous old Hollywood. Blacks, Ivory, deep charcoal greys with pin strips... Lavender and chrome accents. I will carry a bouquet of Calla lilies, and my two brides maids will carry either hydrangeas or orchids.

Here is my ten dollar eBay purchased wedding dress lol It is a vintage form fitted pencil skirt type that comes off the shoulders.
These are some close ups of the detail in the bodice in much better lighting than me trying the dress on in the thumbnails attached.

We will be married at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, and honeymooning at Walt Disney World

Here is the veil, it needs some fluffing, and I will wear it probably a bit higher towards the top of my head with a long wavy false pony tail, since my hair takes forever to grow!

Hey Pope, I just love every thing you have picked out. It is so you!!

I will try to share what I have so far with Tonya's wedding.

I got married 5.5 years ago. I would call it very simple & traditional. My brides maid wore simple 2 piece teal dresses & the groomsmen wore grey 3 piece tuxes, with european ties. The only thing i really cared about was the music & it was good. I married in the same church, my parents & grandparents did.

these are the only pictures I have on my computer of if. We honeymooned in hawaii.

Thank you Tammy! Keep them coming Your daughter is going to be one stunning bride! Is she having a large wedding?

Pony, I absolutely love the first picture. It is so beautiful. That effect makes it looks vintage and a bit dark Looks like you got your moneys worth in a photographer!

That is my next step once I secure location, and priest. Something I refuse to skimp or settle on too lol I already have a few sites of locals favorited in my wedding folder, we'll see.

Though I love my piercings, I think for the actual ceremony and some pictures I won't have them in.

I love everything this lady is wearing on her head and neck lol

All the pictures are just lovely. Back when I married 30 some years ago, there sure wasn't the choice of dresses you all have now and the photography is out of this world now...just wonderful.

Pope, you NEVER should have said you're honeymooning at Disney World! When Gwen reads this, you KNOW she'll be making plans to join you, lol!

I didn't know they did weddings at the National Aquarium-that sounds really neat.

I love your gown, and it sounds like the flowers will be beautiful. I'm so excited for you!

[pope1982]

lol Bev *does the army crawl across the floor looking around nervously*

Actually, the lady who runs these events is kind of excited and shocked that I asked her for permission like my priest instructed me to before I went ahead with my plan making.
She said she hasn't been able to get a priest out there to actually marry someone. I am so pleased with my priest (what I've gotten to know of him through emails...) and I hope I still am after this first real life introduction! I'm not horribly worried about that though

Is it customary to give gifts beyond the parents and the wedding party?

This was my wedding.

I also got my dress on ebay, which ended up kinda being a disaster, but it ended up okay.

I love the picture of you laughing.

We had 3 weeks to plan my wedding. The dress came 2 days before the wedding and didn't fit at all. The company asked for my measurements so they could cut it to fit me (I'm really tiny), but it was sooo big on me and there were beads falling off. The dress cost $150, but after alterations I might as well had bought a dress from a bridal shop.

goofywife, she was a beautiful bride as well!

Yikes Ashley! Glad you enjoyed yourself anyhow, like I said your happiness and beauty in your pictures shined
