So_Happy and Dixie
Just wanted to drop a line and give you the website I finally ordered from (and received) my roses from -- I got the Friendship rose which is listed under novelty on the site. You girls had been wondering and looking just like I had, and I just basically picked one from a hat, luckily the rose... |

Hey -- I just wanted to chime in and say again Don''t Worry About The Size Of The Dress!!! I normally wear about a 10 street clothes and I tried on samples from different designers ranging from 6 - 18 which all fit about the same. When I finally went to David''s I found they had the "clo... |

My envelopes were bright red - I wanted something a little different - and kind of felt like waxpaper - I was a little horrified about printing on them. My FI picked them out, and god love him it was the only thing he picked out so I didn''t have the heart to tell him no. They smudged li... |

Guys first off I just wanted to thank y''all for all your replies -- I was feeling really down and just couldn''t even look at this forum (I know it sounds silly, but I wanted nothing to do with anything wedding related) As for the withdrawal I did know about it at the time, it was $100k to avoid a ... |

Because of some issues with FI''s 401(k) he now has over a $15k tax bill and told me yesterday that he can''t contribute anything to the wedding. He finally tells me this just a little over a month out bc he says he didn''t want to let me down... Anyway, where we are none of our reservat... |

Hopefully sparkel will chime in here - she''s a florist and gave me some really good information. The one thing I will say is that there are flower wholesalers with much lower prices, just search for wholesale flowers - some come with wedding packages where the bouquets and some of the arrange... |

I agree with everyone, I think that silver would look wonderful or that champagne would do just as well -- Both are nice neutral colors that almost never clash with anything and also are very classic looking |

My officiant flat out refused to take money from us, so we''re going to be making a donation to the church in the amount of $300, which is what I figure I would have spent. |

I made my first payment to the photographer in cash which he said worked out great for him - no income to report - and for me as he wouldn''t charge me taxes which would have tacked on an additional couple hundred bucks -- He is the only one to suggest this, so you may try making your deposit in cas... |
