Ours was a dull brown color.

I don''t know why, but a white spider would have freaked me out even more. *shudder*

 

[sunnyd]

Um, yes. I keep having these irrational thoughts that FI won''t like me in my dress, or that I won''t be pretty enough to get the reaction I''m hoping for and that that will ruin my day. Jeez...

But my grandma called at midnight her time because she was so excited to come out in 2 weeks that she couldn''t sleep (2 weeks!!!! *&^%$@) and she told me she''s giving us a fatty check for our wedding gift!

Oh grandma...

So OTHER than the spider (

) how did everything go???

Morning everyone! DUSSSST MK!

Ha! If your FI didn''t like you in your dress, I''d B*&^% slap him. You looked AWESOME in your dress!!! His jaw WILL drop, I guarantee it. DH cried when I came down the aisle. Not like sobbed, but he actually teared up and had trouble keeping it together.

That''s hilarious about your grandma! and TWO weeks?!?!

Can''t believe how quickly my LIW class is getting hitched.

Other than the spider, it was awesome. I just heard from people at work that we missed the night club shootings in san juan by just a few hours! How disappointing.

No but seriously, the honeymoon was just what we needed. After all of the wedding stress, I couldn''t get enough relaxation. I feel SO good now.

 

[Lauren8211]

Also, DH and I are SUPER excited, because my mom saved a bunch of money for my wedding over the years, and since we kept the wedding so small, we get the rest of it for a downpayment on a house. She''s giving us enough that we''ll be seriously looking for a house next spring/summer. We are SO SO geeked!!!

Haha, thanks. That is so cute. That''s my favorite part of weddings - watching the groom lose it.

I know! It''s nuts. Pretty soon we''ll all be over in the TTC thread....

Uh, yikes. I''m glad it was nice though, and no hurricanes to deal with. LOL.

TTC!

We''re still a couple years out... what about you guys? Going to wait a bit?

Us too. 2.5 years or so, depending on where we are. I wouldn''t have an issue with sooner, FI said he has to be 30.

I just want to have a house and some cushion in the bank. Oh and we have to go to London, Disneyland and Vegas together first.

LOL sounds like us. House is next year, then a puppy right away. Then we need our "Big International Before the Baby Trip" (we''re thinking Europe and/or Japan for up to two weeks). Plus I''d like a good amount of savings, then TTC away!

DH is already 30, and I''ll be 27 on Nov 5... but no real desire for a baby yet. So I''m happy waiting until about 29-30.

 

[sunnyd]

Ah yes, the dog. House, then dog, then baby, with trips mixed in.

I''m actually really good, yes I''m sad, and yes I wish we weren''t going this route but I need to put my adventure cap on and realize that this opens the world up for me in a whole new way

You have such an awesome attitude about it. Seriously! I''m glad you''re looking at it as an opportunity. I hate when my e-friends have stuff going on that I can''t help with... because we''d definitely be grabbing a drink tonight if you were local.

Or some Ben & Jerrys. Whatever the situation calls for.

I''m also glad you''ve promised to hang around LIW still! Because clearly my needs are most important in this situation.

getting over the shock of giant spiders is a hard situation...
I'm glad I'm here to help..

drinks and ice cream sound sublime tho... sigh

 

[ladypirate]

LOL at all of us ending up TTC together! That would be hilarious. Although if I go through with this law school thing, who knows when that will happen for us.

I swear, I''m too young to have baby fever!

Elle, wedding planning is coming along. We''ve picked a photographer (see thread in BWW for details) and will have chosen a florist and baker by the end of the week. From there, the next steps are book an engagement session with the photog and get save the dates designed and ordered. Oh, and finalize the guest list. Bleh.

Hi Ladies! Just popping in to say hi!

Miss Kitty -- good luck on the interview!

Bia -- sorry to hear about the job. You''ll end up somewhere better!

Elle -- congratulations, and welcome home! ... pictures??? (of the wedding, not the spider - yikes!

)

SunnyD -- your FI will adore you in your dress, and he would think you were beautiful even if you were wearing a sack. Not to worry!

CK -- I''m sorry for what you''re going through right now, but I''m glad that you seem to be doing okay! yay, ice cream!!

Ladypirate -- you don''t want to go to law school. You might think you do, but..

Ladies, I''m trying to put together a Lady Gaga costume for Halloween. Tell me how this sounds:
black leotard
wide belt of some sort
fishnets (haven''t decided whether they should be sparkly or regular, I have both

)
long blonde wig with bangs
either sunglasses or a blue lightening bolt on my face
circle scarf

I also might stuff my pants. LOL!! Because true or not, that''s just funny.
Anything else?
