I'm not married or engaged, but I'm in a serious relationship, so maybe soon ^^
Congrats! <333 I hope its a great one, I'd totally come! |
i got married at a lovely local italian restaurant. The ceremony was in the garden, and then everyone got drinks and little fruit and cheese and cracker appetizers and then we had dinner in the biggest room them had. I had about 70 people, it was really wonderful.
We did have a wedding shower, my inlaws hosted it for us, but we havent been married before, and i still lived with my parents so we needed alot of things. Our family really help us. Of course i didnt register for a ton of junk like alot of people i know do just so they can get shit. I registered for what we really needed, like pots and pans, a vacuum a microwave. The family actually bought EVERYTHING on my small list in that first party, i had to go back and put more on there cause people were contacting us saying that they went to get us a gift and there was nothing to pick. We ended up getting alot of money at the wedding itself too, i was so shocked at everyones generosity. Alot of people invited i think found out that my husband and i paid for the wedding, and wanted to help. I think if you already have everything you need to live/are already living together, the whole shower gifts thing is silly. What i would do is have an engagement celebration. A get together of close friends and fam to just have a good time, no gifts or ridiculous games. I hate shower games so stupid lol I think themed weddings can be really fun, i think most people go WAY too far with it and it gets really tacky. I prefer elegance though. If i did a themed wedding, i would have done simple touches, like with the table decor, the cake, small things to add to a timeless style to make it elegant and lovely. Of course you still want to do enough that people know what the theme is xD As far as the dress goes, thats all up to you, you will know when you find THE dress. I was open to color or white, i actually wanted some color in my dress. I ended up with a fitted all lace sweetheart strapless dress though, it was really lovely. It was a little uncomfortable, i think if i would redo it, i would have gotten that dress for pictures and the ceremony and a looser, more simple dress to eat in so i could eat in comfort lol Oh and dont underestimate the photographer! In the end, THAT is what you have left besides your memories, dont rely on other people either to take pictures with their cameras! the absolute best thing i did with that wedding was hire a photag i loved and got along with Edit: Oh i would TOTALLY dress up in costume, but i adore costumes and personal pet peeve, when the bride and groom open gifts infront of everyone. I didnt want to do it at my shower, but so many people were asking and begging that we decided too. I dont think the wedding is really the place to do that though |
I want to get engaged the next year or so then get married the year after that. Then again.. I need to finish college to become a psychologist then set that down.. then save money.. :3

Congrats!
I'm not married, but i would love to be eventually. I've never thought of a themed wedding, but if things keep going the way they are now, It will be very Irish/Celtic. I've actually drawn out the dress I would like to have, haha. It is white and olive green. I don't want a big ceremony, just close friends and family and a small reception. As for honeymoon, hehe, I would rather a secluded cabin in the woods for a week or two over Aruba or Jamaica. . . lol |
Firstly, congratulations!
I myself am not married. Being young and somewhat stereotypical on the matter, I'm a bit hesitant to do something as life-changing as marry. I've only watched weddings on television, and never considered having a themed one myself. Generally, I suppose, many couples marry in parks and churches. I've heard of a few bizarre locations such as underwater, or on some far-away and hard to get to islands. I'm sure that some of those magazines they have at the checkout queue in grocery stores would have some lovely ideas. I don't think I would attend a wedding in a renaissance theme. :sweat: |

I'm engaged, it's going to be first (and hopefully only) for both of us *knocks on wood* It's funny you have your dress already, I keep hearing that's something that takes the longest. Personally, I'm having more trouble with bridesmaid dresses, got my gown right away ^^;
We'll be getting married near Christmas, the hall is already going to be decorated for the holiday so I'm leaning towards just having a red theme to go with it. I'm not a big theme person anyway (love simple, seems more elegant), my big concern is actually getting the I do's done with little family drama. |
I'm LDS (mormon) too so we can't really plan our weddings, its all there for us. It's weird though cuz my current bf wants me to marry him, but he's not a member so i don't know what'll happen. We've talked about this and all, but i guess we'll just have to see what happens.
Anyway i wish you the best of luck and years filled with happiness! :D |
First off, CONGRATS! :D that's so fantastic to hear.
I myself am too young to be married--just turned 18 in febuary--but i've had two people propose. ... yeah, i wish i was kidding.. As far as I'm concerned i don't know what kind of wedding i want, but a themed wedding would be just too weird for me. I've never been much of a fangirl over anything in particular....However, I'd LOVE to be involved with a renaissance themed wedding, sounds beautiful! I'd probably go traditional white dress myself, but I'd definitely have an accent color if i did. And yeah, wedding showers are pretty pointless, but its all in good fun. :D |
1. Not even close T_T
4. I'd probably stick with white, or white with a little colour. 5. Psh, my mom got married twice, so it doesn't bother me one bit. She's happiest now anyway. 6. Are awesome, but I'd say mostly for couples starting out, because if a couple was living together for a long time, you are already well set to live together. I could be wrong though. 7. Mints and bubbles. |
We're wanting to go out of the country for the honeymoon and are having the hardest time trying to decide where and get all the passport information together. I didn't even know there was so much INVOLVED in leaving the country. They said that it would take about a year to get everything approved so it's a good thing i'm starting now.
