I Think I''ve Finally Got A Wedding Date!

[iheartscience]

I guess I finally have an official wedding date! 7/11/09!

So, um...add me to the list, please?

Wait...does this mean I have to start planning everything now?

 

[fieryred33143]

Congrats on the date!

LOL we can help you start!

 

[kittybean]

Hooray for setting a date! That was the biggest relief for me. I like your choice of date--my good friend is getting married that day, too. Seven-eleven is also very easy to remember!

But...I don''t want to start!

Actually, I think I''ll be okay...I have a wedding venue and a reception venue, and those are the most important things, right?

How long does it take to get a dress in? A while, right? I should probably get started on that soonish...

Yeah, it''s a good date, I think! Plus it''s funny! We''ve already started joking about the Big Bites, Slurpees and doughnuts we''re going to serve at the reception!

awesome! dont forget the big gulps! congrats on setting the date!

 

[FrekeChild]

Woot!!!! Awesome thing2!!!!I''m pumped for you and FI!!!!

I can''t wait to see what you get for a wedding dress!!!!

(Not to even mention shoes!!!!)

 

[iheartscience]

Thanks DMB and Freke!

Freke: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO FOR A DRESS!!! I have a feeling I''ll never find one I like! As for shoes, I''ve got a few ideas...and don''t kill me, but they''ll probably be...flats!

 

[FrekeChild]

Wohoo!!!Don''t mind me, but I''m excited that you don''t know what to do about a dress!!! Any ideas on silhouette? For some reason I''m imagining a little funky, something unique and fun!!

Where are you guys thinking you''ll have the wedding anyway?

And woman! I don''t care you''re planning on wearing flats! Shoes are SHOES!!!!

I definitely plan on my dress being funky/unique/fun! As far as silhouettes, I''m not sure! I love empire waist dresses and they''re more me than the more va-va-voom silhouettes, so if I had to guess I''d bet my gown ends up being empire waist! With that said, I have yet to try on a single wedding dress, so watch me fall in love with a strapless princess-y bridal gown!

As far as actual wedding gown designers go, my faves are probably Amsale, Pronovias and Claire Pettibone. Buuuuuut I''m somehow practical when it comes to this wedding dress thing (even though I will drop way too much $ on bags, shoes, etc.) and I don''t want to spend too much $! So that pretty much rules out Amsale and probably Claire Pettibone, too! I think Pronovias is semi-reasonable. I really don''t know what I''m going to do! Thinking about going custom, too, or trying to find a wedding-y designer gown to wear.

I''m planning on doing the wedding at a historic theater, and the reception will be at a museum in a converted warehouse. Both places are gorgeous! I am considering having both the wedding and reception at the museum, though. I can''t decide! I''m pencilled in at both places, so I guess I can always get erased at the wedding place!

I have to go study soon but talking about wedding stuff is so much more fun!

I LOVE that date - you''ll never forget it, and you''ll hope that your lovely FI doesn''t forget it!

Yay! Glad I''m not the only one who loves that date! And my fiance definitely won''t forget it-he loves it, too!

 

[Skippy123]

Congrats on a date Thing; you and your sweetie are adorable!!! Great news!

 

[Blair138]

Woo hoo!!! Congrats on picking a date! We are date twins!!! I ordered my dress in September and it''s coming around the first of the year...it is a Pronovias too. I know I''ve had friend who''s dresses have come in much sooner, it just depends on the designer and the salon you get it from...GOOD LUCK!!!

 

[iheartscience]

Thanks Skippy and Blair! Yay for date twins!

Blair: thanks for the dress info! Sounds like I've got some time, then! Which Pronovias did you get? I'm off to try to find out right now! Anything to avoid studying for my two tests tomorrow!

 

[Blair138]

I got the Daifa...Here''s a picture from their website.

 

[iheartscience]

It''s gorgeous! I''m getting really excited to try on gowns!

 

[MaggieB]

Congratulations Thing! Future Mr. Thing is a very lucky man.

I''m wearing a Pronovias for my wedding. Good luck dress hunting!

 

[Deelight]

Congrats thats really exciting, love the date LOL

I don''t know if this is anything like your style but you said you like empire waists I think this one is really pretty Sophia Tolli

 

[Sparkalicious]

T2o2!!

That is fantastic! Great date!! Congratulations!!!
YES!! You have to start planning now ... you know what ... I think that you might have some fun doing it too ...

 

[iheartscience]

Thanks, Maggie, Dee and Sparks!

Maggie-which dress are you wearing? I do love those Pronovias!

Dee-that dress is gorgeous! I haven''t heard of that designer before...I''ll have to check her dresses out!

Sparks-but I don''t wanna plan! WAH! You''re right, though-I''m sure I''ll like it once I really start doing it. I just have to graduate first!

 

[Deelight]

If I remember correctly IWPO had a Sophia Tolli dress, I am sure thats how I found out about her I think that dress is just beautiful.

 

[galvana]

Congrats! 7/11/09 is MY wedding date too! you are going to have fun planning. I pretty much have everything done. i went a little crazy in the beginning!
good luck with dresses! YAY!

 

[neatfreak]

Congrats Thing! If you are anything like me (and I think you are!) regarding planning it isn''t an insane burden as long as you''re not concerned with picking out every single detail and fretting over the decision. You just make a decision and move on.

T2o2 - I think that you are a closet bride

Once you graduate and you have some time and energy to focus on it ... you'll get into the planning process and get the job done. I'm SOO excited for you!!

You are always so supportive of me and I would love to help you in anyway that I can!

I remember sort of being anxious when I thought the time was drawing nearer for FI to propose because we have been dating for so long and it has been fine and I knew that once he popped the question that we would be thrust into a maelstrom ... I was not relishing the thought. Little did I know that I would eat this stuff up! I love it and, for the most part, making the decisions and trying to get everything sorted and in order has been really enjoyable. We are both trying to embrace it as a once in a lifetime thing and progressing through the process as such.

I can see it now ... you are going to have an amazing wedding. I can't wait until you start to share all of your details. Woo!

eta - I love Pronovias dresses as well!!

That''s great news thing!! I''ll add you to the list now! Enjoy the planning!

 

[MaggieB]

There''s a pic of my dress on my wedding thread: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/my-wedding-thread.94710/

I''m having some pangs for not getting a more traditional wedding dress, but had I gone bigger it really wouldn''t have fit the wedding. I do get jealous seeing all of the other PS-ers beautiful dresses though! Can''t wait to see yours!

Aw, thanks, Sparks! I''ll be sure to bug you once I get going! I think I''m definitely going to get way into it if my diamond ring obsession is any indicator!

 

[meresal]

Thing 2 we almost picked that date!! I loved it, and actually had an idea to serve slurpies at the reception

You do get to start planning now!!! I''m 2 weeks later, and we''re less than 9 months!!!
