yeah yeah I know..

but what I don't know is if you recieve gifts? How traditional are they? I like to prepare myself for these kind of things.....like iwht thank you cards and such....

I know I am fussing....

You usually do get gifts I think, it's kinda like a shower.

Damn I knew we shoulda had one... nothing like more pressies lol

Although I'm guessing if you get an engagement present, the wedding present isn't going to be as big.

How about an 'AOS immigration warming party'? Like a house warming...but a country warming!? Presents included!

Yes I hope to be going over in Sept. We have 2 weddings to attend this summer and I am supposed to send our paperwork out next week. However with this IMBRA stuff I am really confused.

Did you have a large wedding here in the states?

Thank you

It was a small wedding, family and friends and a very special day. How these people organise a huge wedding in so little time I'll never know!

Yeah this IMBRA thing is a pain in the ###, I hope it doesn't hold you up too much and you'll be together soon.

ohh I want details!!

Did you wear a white dress???

Did you have a wedding cake??

We are thinking of not having even a wedding cake. Just a bunch of desserts.

Now I am all curious!

You must feel like you are floating a bit.

I wore an offwhite dress (pic attached!)

I don't like wedding cake, so we went for 3 dessert cakes and then a sheet cake (most of which got trashed as nobody likes wedding cake!) pics attached of these too. The dessert cakes were sooo yummy and it worked out alot cheaper than a wedding cake. I'd recommend it!

I've been floating since I arrived back here for good, not planning on coming down for a while yet

Helen

grrr i can't edit my post!

Just wanted to mention the union jack on the cake being off centre was due to the silly bakers folding the printed version over dohhh!
