Wedding Stories & Ideas Galore!

I want my hair to look like this!

Too bad that Grecian looks works best on blondes and my hair is only shoulder length. Things are all in place for our Barcelona nonlegal ceremony! Photographer and makeup artist are flying in from the U.K., dress is altered, ring has been redipped, wedding rings are purchased and our vows are nearly done. Yay!

those hairstyles are very pretty

I hope the Barcelona ceremony is everything you dream of

I proposed to her at the Ait Benhaddou kasbah (the one from the movie Gladiator). We got married at sunset on Maui.

A great resource for understanding Tuxedos styles (great pictures in the hollywood section pointing out what works and what doesn't) for people wanting to rent Tuxedos but boggled about what to choose

Thank's for that. We need a tux for the best man and haven't a clue where to start. Tom's wearing uniform so that's one less thing to worry about!

Terri, that's beautiful!

I want an updo like that too... my hair might not be long enough for it and I'm not thinking I want to pay for added pieces/extensions to make it full enough to look good.

I was just looking online now for places to go and check out locally... I gotta tell ya.. I'm not impressed with what I see! Scary! Maybe I'll do it myself... hmmm... even scarier!!!!

There are loads of youtube tutorials for hair and makeup. It's worth checking out!

Hello!

I just got "officially" engaged a few weeks ago. Even though we are still waiting on the interview packet, I wanted to get started on some of the wedding stuff. I do have a couple of questions though.

1. Does anyone have a good free wedding planner website?

2. Is there anyway we can fill out paperwork a head of time so that my fiance's parents can get a visa or some sort of permission to be able to come to the wedding? They are from Mexico and have never had any type of visa to enter the U.S. before. It is important to my fiance and I that they are able to make it though.

Thanks and happy wedding planning!

THANK YOU! I'll have my daughter watch them with me... see if she thinks she can manage any of them. I love updos down side is lots of curls and pinning - so we'll see if she thinks she can pull it off!

Thanks again - you are the wedding god Terri!!

Sorry you haven't been answered yet! Seems the thread took a dive to the depths of the forum!

I don't have any planner sites for you - and I'm drawing a blank for the latter question too.

Hopefully this post will bump the thread up and someone in the know will answer! GL!

Our plans are switching up a bit - we found someone else to perform our wedding and they have facilities to perform weddings at their house that backs up to Ocala Ntl Forest so we're going today to check it out. From what they say it's beautiful! So it might not be in our backyard after all!

ok... ppl amaze me.

Their house was barely as they described it. Yes. their back yard was meeting the forest and there was a fountain in the front... but - um there was also JUNK everywhere... old cars with covers in the yard... semi trailers parked around... just NOT a "wedding location" at all. (sigh) oh well... back to plan A.

so that's where this wedding was held

yep! I mean there's only a few places that honor - let alone perform such special weddings.

...... damn - wait. Which one's the bride anyway????

Hard to say who is who

We are evolving...gone from a courthouse 'do' to a 'wedding' wedding...and in another state no less. His parents are elderly, and not able to travel very well, so it looks to be us travelling. Virginia to Arkansas, my SO wants to drive that distance, and take his daughter and the two kids...who have ADD. *sigh* Read road trip from hell. We can't even get from here to the shops without war breaking out in the back seats, aboiut a 15 minute drive.

We've had a plumbing disaster in the flat, the water heater tank blew up and we were ankle deep down there. Just getting it right the end of this week, we have stuff all over the place drying out...and would you believe it is not so long to the wedding and I have no blessed idea on what I am even wearing?

Oh wow. Virginia to AK? I was thinking 'road trip from hell' just as you said it and the plumbing disaster... Nick and I just had a bit of one - I nearly wet myself laughing as he was in the bathroom yelling "hold my pants!!!" because he didn't want the bottom of his jeans to get icky! ahhh I love him!

And on the bright side hun - at least you're together

Do you have any ideas about a gown? Or have you looked at any?
