BECAUSE I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I'M PLANNING MY WEDDING! GETTING MARRIED VALIDATES ME AS A HUMAN BEING AND I MUST LET EVERYONE KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT MY WEDDING PLANS AND REMIND EVERYONE THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD, THERE IS A MAN STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK SPENDING THE REST OF HIS LIFE WITH ME IS A GOOD IDEA.

Haha, seriously? I've never heard of that one. I guess that explains why 2 of my friends got married at half past. I was wondering why they did that.

If that's the case, my marriage is doomed. :)

Its just superstition so I wouldn't worry about it too much. :) Its right up there with "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Silver Sixpence in her Shoe" type stuff. :p

Well, I always originally thought two, so I could get my cocktail on like Lil' Hannah wants to, but this downswing concerns me, so apparently 2:30 it is. I figure the ceremony will be about an hour, we can go get our sex on in the limo, and get to the cocktail hour at 5 in plenty of time.

Well, when I get married, it's definitely going to be after 5:00 pm so the guyz can wear full dress tails and my huney can wear a tophat and cane and my girlz can wear full taffeta dresses with opera gloves. I'll wear my dream gown with the big poufy lace sleeves that I've had torn out of a Bridal magazine since I was 7. And I'll make my guests wear full black-tie apparel.

Oh wait. I'm already married. Damn.

ha ha ha... this is funny. Although seriously? Evening rules- cocktail hour! If I'm geting married it will be a party.

Because these little trixies that are asking advice are just PRACTICALLY ENGAGED--it's easy to be "engaged" when all you're doing is playing around on theknot.com and making fake registries. You're really engaged, and therefore know what it's really like to plan a wedding.

Oh you cynical judgmental people you...:D :p

I dont even have a full boyfriend but I think its fun to plan...many many girls do it without the advantage of fellow GCers & their fun ideas!!...I dont think its obsessive at all do play around with ideas HERE...it would be pretty sad if we were actually placing calls to caterers and photographers though ;)

I don't have my DSM4 in front of me . . . but yep, it's obsessive.


Having all this stuff planned out (not just "well i'd LOVE" but "well I've priced out") is a tier-1.5 deal-breaker . . . and tier-1 is 'molests children' or 'is insane'

This reminds me of the film Muriel's Wedding.

I like to look at the photos of wedding gowns, but I am not going to start shopping for a gown until I am engaged with an actual proposal and a ring and a date set. I now realize that this approach is wrong. Maybe I should plan the entire thing and hope my boyfriend shows up and says "I will" when I surprise him with a wedding. That's a thought! I think that I'll start calling the Plaza and the Waldorf Astoria to see when they are available! I'm hoping for a Saturday in May at 5:30. Fingers crossed! Next, I'll run over to Bloomingdale's and register. Of course, there is always a chance that he will back out. Fortunately, Bellevue is close, and I'm sure those nice people will be able to help me recover. :p

I drive a '95 Volvo 850 which is both quite stylish and gets me a lot of middle management compliments. Everyone wants to drive the Volvo and restructure the organization from the ground up. Not that I blame them.

Who wants to hear about my white trash wedding? Coors Light in the can in coolers on the back deck, and my bridesmaids will wear dirty white flip flops with NASCAR tshirts (ripped and then tied up in the back to bear midriffs, of course.) Everyone will love my wedding.

Britney?

if you drive a volvo (or subaru for that mattter) there's pretty good odds on your white trash wedding happening with another woman.


just saying.

Or you could just be a female golf instructor with broad shoulders, hips, and tattoos.
