~*~Official Brides in Waiting List~*~

[blacksand]

And YES! I remember both you and amc from LIW. Crazy that you'll be a Mrs. in a few short weeks, that she's been married for almost a year and has a GORGEOUS baby boy. I remember lots of ladies from when I first joined LIW including sunnyd and freke, both now married with little ones.

This makes me feel really...old. Lol. I feel like I've been engaged for a hundred years. Part of me just wants to be married (and have a baby!) already, but another part of me wants to slow everything down and just enjoy the moment. Trying to stay sensible here!

Ok, let me post a poll and see what everyone wants to do. We can make a rule just for the ??/??/??s, or have it apply to everyone still waiting, or have it apply to the entire list. I don't think it makes much sense to have it apply to alumni, since they're already married and will be removed eventually anyway, but we can do whatever the majority want. No complaints here.

If I'm allowed to be OCD as well, I would change the word "alumni" to "alumnae," because as far as I know, we are all female (If any grooms would like to join up, though, you are more than welcome!). See, I can play, too.

 

[audball]

Aww, don't feel old! I've read several ladies here wish they had been engaged for longer so that they could enjoy the "just being engaged" part! I'm so looking forward to seeing your pictures in a few short weeks!!

I think it's good to leave it up to the current BIW. I really think the rule should just be for the ?? since if they've given a date, at some point they'll be removed by that date even if they never come back. And I agree, alumnae for the win!

May I be added? 03/02/13

 

[blacksand]

Absolutely, chloeishere! Welcome to the list, and congratulations!

[SCDP]

Can I be added as well? My wedding is September 14, 2013. Thank you!

 

[blacksand]

Monday time!

Welcome, SCDP! We are glad to have you join us, and congratulations!

Since the majority voted last week to implement the new rule that all BIWs listed as ??/??/?? must post at least once in six months to remain on the list, I did some cleaning up. You will notice the ??/??/?? list is much shorter now. Just one lovely lady! lotsofsparkle, gigglebuns1186, Ashley21, Cinna, kagordo4, if you are still around, just let me know and I'll be happy to add you back to the list. TopoDazzle has posted within 6 months, but has referred in several recent posts to her "husband," so I am going to consider her already married and offer up my congratulations! TopoDazzle, I will happily add you to the alumnae list if you let me know the date.

So clean-up is complete. I hope everyone is okay with the changes. Feel free to suggest any further changes at any time. We can always put suggestions to a vote. Let's hope this helps keep the community vibrant.

Hi ladies! Time for an update. The BIW list is getting shorter and shorter. New folks, come and join us!

vanilla87, you wedding week is here! Congratulations! I hope you enjoy every minute, and come back to tell us all about it.

My own wedding is fast approaching, and I think this will be my last update. We need a new listkeeper! I'll start another thread to look for volunteers.

I wish everyone a wonderful week!

Squee! vanilla87, hope you have a great wedding! Congrats!

 

[Mico]

I guess I should jump on board, we are undecided about a particular date, but spring 2014 is the goal

 

[jitterymo]

We need to pick a wedding date... I'm thinking it'll be sometime in the year 2013 (We'll probably not do any wedding planning until after we get back from Vegas in Feb)
