Pope, your dress is really lovely!!!! You got quite a buy on it!!! That's great! The gifts that you have picked out I really like, expecially the hankies!!! Very sentimental! I can't wait to see other details that you've picked out.

Thanks guys. Our photographer was actual a family friend. He had a little too much fun with colors & such on the pictures....some turned out really well & some not so well. The first picture is my hubby & i's favorite. We're both making the same weird face & it was in no way planned, we have no idea what we were supposed to be doing. My friends call it the zoolander shot....it's like our blue steal look.

I'm so excited for you Becky! The dress, and the veil are beautiful!!

All of everything is beautiful! Keep posting - even the chicken cutlets! This is so exciting!

Marilyn.....you might want to post some pictures here!

My daughter's wedding is not on discs and mine certainly weren't!

pope i love the dress and the theme you are doing, sounds beautiful! i can't wait to see more pictures of everything you get!

Becky, definately DONT skimp on the photographer!!! Trust me on this one! My first wedding, the pictures sucked all of them. We didnt have a single nice one. This time around we skipped the whole wedding, got married by the jp and then had a photo session. Those pics are really super good! I love them. It cost me about 700.00 total, and I dont regret a penny.

You know, it's been a long time since I went to the aquarium....let me check my calendar!

Hey! I already knew about her honeymoon, and I think I displayed great restraint!

I knew there was a reason I always liked you so much Becky! Disneyworld for a honeymoon would totally rock!

I love all these pictures! Man, you guys are all so lucky. We couldn't afford a photographer at our wedding, we had a family friend take pics. There's some neat shots, but like the black and white with the color bouquet and whatnot...I would have loved to have had something like that!

Becky! Your dress is beautiful! What a steal! I would have loved to wear my Grandma's dress, but I'll never be skinny enough, and well, you know how family gets when a loved one dies? My aunt stole it.

I love the theme. Your wedding is gonna be beautiful!

Wiley, your daughter is lucky to have you! Her wedding will be beautiful and the best day of her life.


I am not married, but my little baby bro got married a little over a year ago. They did a masquerade theme. The ceremony was actually at a church marriage retreat in San Diego on a dinner cruise ship, so only immediate family was allowed. Then they did the masquerade reception at a friends house. It was very low budget, but turned out amazing. Here are some pics:

My brothers (they were each others' best men) - this is toast from lil bro to big bro, long story, but it was cute:

Awwww, Heathers baby brother!Thank you for the pictures Heather, very unique.
The picture of them in front of the cloudy evening sky looking at each other is awesome!

So how do you get along with the sister in law?

Bring it on Bev, I live in Baltimore, I can handle it lol

If I had the money, I would order gag tshirts from harmcity for the out of towners that say "innocent bystander" & "unarmed citizen".

Ok, so I just wrote about a six page rant about my SIL because I am annoyed with her right now, but erased it because this is a happy thread and I don't want to hijack. I really do love my lil SIL. She has a really good heart, she's sweet and funny. And my brother loves her. I do worry about them sometimes because, maturity wise, I don't think they were ready to get married. I worry because they disagree on some big things, like kids. Well, they both said they don't want any, but then she started bugging him for a baby after the wedding. She drove up here with me when I moved to Seattle to help drive and get me settled in, and I am very appreciative of that. She is a really wonderful person, but my biggest complaint about her is that she is a big time flake. That's always been my complaint, and that is why I am annoyed with her right now, as she has flaked on helping me with planning my other SIL's baby shower. So I am now stuck planning a shower in California FROM Washington. Good thing we didn't go with all her elaborate and expensive ideas, huh?

But, they have surprised me quite a bit. I thought they would have problems early on, but they've done really well. My brother's only complaints are that she does NOT clean and she spends all of his money! Her complaints are that he likes his alone time (something I tried to tell her before they were married and she shot me down). But, overall, they do well. They are learning to compromise...she is finding hobbies, he makes time for her, they do a budget so she can spend $XX amount. The cleaning is still an issue, but she apparently does better now that they have their own place. So, I am happy for them and wish them the best!

So I take it she doesn't work. This wouldn't fly in my house. If you don't work outside the home you are responsible for all the work with in the home. Plus I didn't work when I first got married & i didn't feel right spending money because I didn't earn it, but that's just me. Her dress was gorgeous by the way.
