do any of you ladies

[ckrickett]

do any pre pre pre wedding planning (I know you do I just wanted to ask).
Like I pretty much know EXACTLY what I want for everything, and I''m stoked.
Just waiting for my honey to get his arse into gear.

What about you, got everything planned already?

Oh yes I''ve got my wedding band narrowed to about three or four choices. I''ve got a platinum jewelry designer ready to make it when I''m ready.

I''ve picked my flowers, shoes, nail polish colors, make up and hair. The only thing really I need to work on is the dress and finalizing which ring I want.

I''m not really doing any ''planning'', but I''ve been known to stalk ''bridal ****'' sites, gathering ideas, and inspiration..

In fact, I have a ''wedding'' folder, just crammed with stuff..

My BF has been eager to start the planning, but I keep telling him that I don''t wanna plan until I am engaged. It seems like getting the babies'' room ready before you are pregnant - don''t wanna jinx it, ya know????

Um, yeah, that would be me. I can totally relate!

 

[Erinleigh]

I dream about it daily... constantly trying to find colour schemes I like, dresses/hair I like... I think my biggest problem will be narrowing it all down!

 

[ckrickett]

I find it''s all I ever do anymore.
at least on my free time away from SO.

 

[NewGirlnTown]

I, too, have a wedding folder. My bf tells me to order my dress and my reply is... we're not engaged! Isn't it bad luck?!??

 

[ckrickett]

I''m already mulling over some DIY ideas like making my own bouquets out of handmade paper flowers and maybe doing ugly mugs. as favors.
I spend alot of time on
off beat bride.

LOL. i have a friend IRL who''s also waiting for an engagement...so, we hang out on our computers looking at all things bridal watching the WE channel on tv & complaining that our BFs need to get their booties in gear!! we''ve been known to call each other to share websites or rings/dresses that we''ve discovered! so glad we''re not only (although, i didn''t think we were the only ones

)

 

[Nomsdeplume]

I''ve known exactly what dress I want and the type of location since I was 16.

Well said! I jinxed it once last time. Now, eventhough I am on here, I don''t have the "wedding fever" anymore. In retrospect, I was being selfish by wanting to rush things like engagement and the wedding. I never stopped to enjoy the little things with the ex FI. So, now, my philosophy is "let it be". Life is not a race, nor a destination, but a journey. Enjoy the baby steps of a relationship! Date, live separately (trust me on this one) and give eachother space.

I suppose having and idea of what you want is a good idea. But, at least for me, I''ve tucked getting married in to the 10 years from now category because it''s a big deal and I don''t want to be cavalier about the situation like I was 5 months ago.

Best of luck with the pre, pre, pre planning. It never hurts to look!

i do it too, and it soothes my LIWitis. maybe it''s an addiction?

I totally went through a phase where I was constantly looking up different wedding stuff. I wrote out lists of all the color schemes I''d use based on season, I found my dream ring, my dream dress. I''ve looked at bridesmaid dresses, wedding hair, and venues! I have a folder on my computer of all my favorites. BF used to (lovingly) make fun of me for and say that I''d have it all planned before he even asked! Which is starting to seem true.... it has since calmed down a little, but I think thats mostly cause I''m running out of stuff to pre pre plan!!!

So if any of you have more ideas on things I can research.........bring ''em on!
