DON"T TRIP ON YOUR WEDDING DRESS! :P

skaorsk8 #2 skaorsk8OG 2002

don't invite people who are going to bring their babies to the reception.

mandie #2.1 mandieOG 2001

It's Adult reception, with the exception of my 18 month old niece and Mara's little Jaden because he is cool and cute. :)

forrestina #3 forrestinaOG 2002

you've planned and stressed...smile for the cameras and enjoy your wedding day!

rocksupastar #4 rocksupastarFounder

wow... i dunno... im not nervous yet, but i have around 5 months until mine... thats gotta be cool to be just a week away, CONGRATS!

deanh77 #4.1 deanh77Founder

yeah, mine's in 4 months. we just decided on our photographer and now we're looking for an apartment. lots of stuff to do.

mandie #4.1.1 mandieOG 2001

you guys, its going to go soooo fast! I swear, it seems like me and garrett just got engaged last week. Enjoy the planning, and don't get caught up in the stress of it..or try not to get caught up in the stress of it. It's the weirdest feeling, i want the wedding to come, to have fun, to go on the honeymoon, and most importantly, i'm so excited about seeing garrett everyday for the rest of my life...but in a way, i don't want it to come. I've spent all this time planning and dreaming about it, i almost don't want to give it up. It's very strange.

ilikebirds #4.1.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

well i suggest the day before the wedding, break it off.. and get engaged with someone else.

seit2see seit2seeOG 2002

yea like me.. will you marry me?

delliott101 #5 delliott101OG 2002

This is one of the most STRESSFUL times in life... man, when I was married, we just SLEPT for almost 24 hours straight. We got to our honeymoon Sunday around noon... checked into the hotel and didn't get out of bed (sleeping that is... get your minds out of the gutter!) till about 10:00 the next morning...

deanh77 #5.1 deanh77Founder

sounds exciting.

delliott101 #5.1.1 delliott101OG 2002

We were soooooo exhausted... I want to just elope and stay home next time.. If I'm blessed with a woman who can put up with me, that is...

hunkpapap #5.1.1.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

ilikebirds #5.2 ilikebirdsOG 2002

hey, this is a reference to our favorite movie, stef! To anyone who hasn't figured it out, here's another clue. "wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?"

deanh77 #7.1.1 deanh77Founder

this reminded me of the time two people both said they loved the most popular movie of all time and were surprised and both got up and hugged each other.
The conversation went something like this:


Guy 1: "You Know what movie I like a lot? Star Wars. I think its awesome"

Guy 2: "Me Too! Thats so cool"

Guy 1: "No way? You like Star Wars too? you're awesome!"

skaorsk8 #7.1.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

ok4now #9 ok4nowOG 2002

have fun!!!!!!!

beachbum #10 beachbumOG 2002

I know exactly what you mean-you don't want the excitment to end. Try to savor every second. The day goes by really fast. Just live for every moment of it. The only nerve racking part to me was actually walking down the aisle w/ 300 people staring at me. I just kept telling myself "It's only 20 seconds of my life. In 20 seconds it will be done. I can do it." And don't worry about tripping-that is why you have your dad (or whoever is giving you away to hang on. Congratulations and I hope everything works out just perfectly for you. Have fun.

reaf #10.1 reafOG 2002

haha, thats one thing I never thought about thus far, is tripping down the isle.

beachbum #10.1.1 beachbumOG 2002

I thought about it constantly-i'm such a clutz!

skaorsk8 #10.1.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

no, i think you're a "klutz"

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

thanks for the correction, spelling boy, champion of all that is good and correct on ezabel.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

that's what i'm here for. making sure that the little guy gets his fair share, that reaf one day will get rid of her jeep, and that all spelling is at least somewhat correct.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

mandie #10.2 mandieOG 2001

Thanks. I wasn't to worried about tripping, I do that all the time, everyone knows i'm like that..hhahaha...but yah, i'm so nervous about having all those people staring at me. but that's a good way to look at it. thanks. I'll be sitting there during the talk thinking "man, this is the longest 20 seconds of my life" hahaha.
