Wow Pricilla,

Is this the guy you met shortly before you started school, how long has it been now?

Well, as they say beautiful spirits attract beautiful people, you deserve it! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

Way To Go!!!!
Congratulations!

Always remember it takes alot of dedication and work to keep a marriage together. Just remember to:
1) Never go to bed mad at each other.
2) Equally compromise.
3) Talk to each other. No matter how small the
problem or annoyance.

Might want to have a friend who sews make you a velvet loose short jacket without buttons or zips in the same color as your dress. I have a friend who used to do wedding dresses and she's made a few. Can be handy if you have to be outside for long.

Wow.....I never thought of Miss Manners and the internet. Let's see, first wedding for bride and groom you can say where you are registered to all who ask and are invited to the wedding or showers. This is supposed to keep perfect strangers from buying you stuff and guilting you into inviting more people.

And wherever you register the proper thing now is to list a cross section of costly to not so expensive things so people can choose what they can afford. So if you want 8 beautiful crystal goblets then register for them. Then you may get 1 from each of 8 guests or all 8 from your rich Aunt. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif Regstries will show what is left on your list after each purchase so no one will feel like they need to outspend someone else.

I have know casual type people who have registered at Crate and Barrel. And two friends who each owned their own homes before marrying at 45 or so and they registered at Home Depot. He sold his place, they rented out her condo and they bought a new townhouse together. All they wanted was the stuff to make a deck. So friends were buying 2 X 4s and 4 X 4s and the like.

But if a certain friend of yours who knows you as Glitter Girl wants to pass around something you might like to say.....another CareCure friend, I don't think Miss Manners woud mind and most of us live too far away to try and crash your wedding in Texas. We just might like to send a card or something. Although DA might show up to object...

But I do wish you loads and loads of love and happiness and all that other mushy stuff. Oh..and the not so mushy stuff, great sex! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

Congrats, Glitter. I wish you luck!

As for registering 'n' such, I always thought it was tacky. If I have anything to do with it, I won't be registered anywhere for my wedding (if/when it happens someday), it'll be a small wedding, and nobody will be allowed to bring presents. I want those invited to just come, wish us luck, and have a good time at the reception. But I'll probably marry a girl who wants a huge, formal wedding and wants to register at Macy's, Lord & Taylor, and Tiffany's...nah, i don't think I'd want to marry a chick like that. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

GGod luck, Rus. Been there, done that and had to return 5 crock pots, 3 electric blankets and a couple of can openers. If you say "no gifts" people WILL assume you want cash instead. And setting up money trees at the reception is tacky! My second time around we were pretty well set up and were married in Rome so we didn't register anywhere. We got a pair of very cool handblown Venetian candlesticks that I still love, a handmade decorative bowl done in the neatest leaf pattern and a few other things. It was a small wedding. But here in the States I suggest you let the bride do what she wants or you'll start off with in law troubles of the motherly kind. :-) I mean who can't use 12 or 24 Waterford crystal beer steins? http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif

[Scorpion]

I see the practicality in registering, I just think that assuming people are obligated to bring gifts of any sort, money included, is tacky. If my fiance insists we register, I'll register at Wal-Mart. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

Cill - Getting married was the best thing I ever did. For years I travelled around the country working contract computer jobs - always moving to wherever paid the most, never staying anywhere much more than a year. Always making new friends but rarely ever having a girlfriend. I lived alone without even having roommates for fifteen years. It was very lonely. Loneliness is a big problem in the SCI Community. You're one person who deserves a relationship. I know you will give give give. Your husband will be very happy. Congratulations to both of you!!!!

[Carl R]

congrats!

I agree with Sue. My wife and I registered at Home Depot, Foley's and target. We got lots of great stuff from water hoses to cordless drill. We receive more gifts from Home Depot, then the other two stores. I think people like buying the practical stuff more than the crystal stuff, but my wife would argue that differently.

Don't forget. . . While the bride plans for the wedding day, the groom plans for the wedding night.

[Sue Pendleton]

I think a lot of people are getting more practical about gifts and more individualistic about their ceremonies and honeymoons. Our friends who were older when they married had a very classy wedding. Small, intimate and just family and old friends. But they chose 2 things I thought were great. The wedding cake was traditional looking on the outside with 3 layers (actually 6 but in 3 sizes)and it was a shortbread like cake inside with whipped cream and fresh strawberry filling between layers! It was a strawberry shortcake made and decorated like the traditional wedding cake. Tasted great!

And each table at the reception had a small basket with match books, the little netting bags of those pastel coated almonds and a throw away camera so each table could take "candid" shots of the reception. They were left on the tables and the maid of honor dropped them off for developing the following day. They still had formal pictures of the wedding party but some of the best shot's I've ever seen were the candids.

BTW, Rus, you also buy your groomsmen and bestman gifts and the bride buys presents for her bridesmaids and matron or maid of honor. So it kind of evens out. But each wedding can also have its own rules. 'Course no one ever said you actually have to have a ceremony. Not telling your parents you're actually married until their 3rd grandkid is born is always good for a movie of the week...

Tons of joy to Cilly and Charlie however they exchange their vows.

[glittergirl]

I like the idea of writing our own vows and Charlie said he thought it would be neat. I have been soooo busy. We are registered at JCPennys and I really can't wait to make him the worlds happiest husband....If I can i will get a photo of my ring up..

I think the fact that I've been to a million weddings and been a participant in no less than 5 (the first as ring-boy at age 5) has kind of jaded me to the formality of it all. I've never been much into pomp & circumstance anyway, and I didn't even attended my college graduation ceremonies. I've been a groomsman on 2 occasions and a best-man once. I think getting the groomsmen gifts is the least the groom can do considering the cost of tux rental alone. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif I was never brought up to make a huge deal out of myself; I never had a birthday party where other kids came over, and I turned out to be a happy, well-adjusted individual I think. But if I ever do get married, I'll let my bride have whatever kind of wedding she wants. After all, guys don't grow up imagining their wedding day, chicks do. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

JCPenney is a good choice, Glitter. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif Are you having your wedding in Shiner or Austin? Will you drink Shiner beer at the wedding? http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'm in Houston and live on the west side, so if you need any thing, I can't put my wife on it. She loves all that stuff, and went way overboard on our wedding. I'm sure she can get you names of flower people and caterers, etc. shoot me an e-mail if you need any thing.

We did the all-day Catholic wedding ourselves.
