well we aren't bringing any furniture with us, so that part will be easy, but i dont think one bag is gonna cut it for me i have tons of books and cds which are heavy and sooo annoying

Well if your books and cds are that annoying, get rid of them

Rae - I think the long BC is standard - I had to have the long version too

Maybe it´s not standard I only have one BC and it´s not too long

By long I mean one page though rather than half Like A4 or whatever equivalents you have in different countries

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

I think I have it like half of A4

yea, maybe youre right...ive thought about getting rid of the cds, theyre a pain in the #######...the books i have to keep, because a lot of them are from school and were very expensive and also have a lot of important info which i am sure i will need to refer to when i start grad school next month...lord help me lol...one day i will put all of the cds on my computer, but it all comes back to procrastination, now doesnt it?

another thing, does anyone have any thoughts as to something i can wear to the wedding reception that isnt a poofy white dress? i hate white and try never to wear it, and would absolutely prefer not to do so...why is it such a requirement??? god, i hate tradition!!! what else can i go for???

Actually black is quite fashionable at the moment

You could go for something sparkly or silvery or gold? In August I am wearing a white skirt and a white blouse and maybe a silvery or pastel pink vesty top underneath

omg i would LOVE to wear black...i mentioned it to my mom and sister and of course they frowned upon the idea

your outfit sounds cute, i cant wait to see the pics!!

I think you should wear whatever you want.

I have noticed that a lot of people have strong opinions on what I should do or wear on my city hall day (which to me isn't even the real thing since we plan to do a big ceremony later), and it really bugs me. This is your day, not your mom's or sister's. I mean, sure, you don't want to piss them off or anything. But letting them know that you'll be happier doing what you want to do should mean something.

Oh and it doesn't have to be a big poofy dress either. I went with the white "requirement" and just got a simple white summer dress from Anthropologie.

But if you want to wear black, especially to your reception, wear black!!

Black wedding dress HERE

Though it´s said black dress bring bad luck The marriage of this couple ended after 6 months...

You could try somewhere in the middle, like a dark silver.

Our ceremony was like your's Rae - for the paperwork, except with no plans for a big hoopla later. I wore a red silk wraparound dress. It went to half way down my calf. Underneath I wore a big flouncy hippie skirt that I was wearing when my OH and I went off on our road trip together (3 days after meeting). It was just visible below the dress, and provided the 'poofy' element, while being something very personal to me.

yeah, and I'm sure it was the dress, and nothing to do with the fact that maybe they weren't suited to one another

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

She could wear black and prove the saying wrong

So it´s May 17 already. Our timeline says AP news should arrive May 22 and EAD May 28 Hope it´s right. Not feeling like waiting too much longer right now It´s not like it´s an annoying wait or anything, but just wanna put this paperwork behind me for now already I know it´s still gonna take a while for the AOS though
