hers Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I really love Arwen's thread "For ENA moms and moms to be" and how everyone on there can go to each other for support and questions and basic pregnancy and parenting and baby stuff. Just reading the support on that thread makes me happy to be a part of this site, even if I've never contributed to that thread. So in that tradition, I'm starting a thread for ENA brides and brides to be. Feel free to post here for all wedding related things or marriage related things, or anything you need to regarding your big day and what follows it I'm newly engaged (just got engaged yesterday!) and I'm so incredibly happy. I just can't stand it (in a good way haha). I'm giddy. So my first question about my engagement... what the H is he now? A fiance or fiancee? What's the right word for me to write about him??? Ok that's all for now!! Link to comment
jengh Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Fiance with one e. You are his fiancee. Link to comment

tinkerbellkj Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Awesome! I love this thread already! Link to comment
hers Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Are colors still up in the air, depending on season? Fall orange and spring..? I think I really want to stick with orange, brown, and white. I think those woudl work for spring and fall both, depending on if we go with March 2011 or October 2011. Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Opps, just missed it! We are thinking between Sept and November 2011 as well, I love fall weddings! Link to comment

OptomisticGirl Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Oh Hers those colors would look gorgeous! You could always go for lighter shades if you go the spring route and darker shades for the fall if you wanted. Link to comment
hers Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Opps, just missed it! We are thinking between Sept and November 2011 as well, I love fall weddings! i do too. those are the prettiest for me. i woudl love this october (b/c next one is too far!) b/c that'd be our first anniversary but it's just not doable!

Yeah, trust me... you need at LEAST a year to plan... There are SO many tiny little details. Link to comment
jengh Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm going to try to come down sometime this year if you'd like and help plan? Check out caterers, venues, etc? Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Yeah, trust me... you need at LEAST a year to plan... There are SO many tiny little details. Granted it wasn't upscale or anything but we planned my best friend's wedding in a month (yay.. it's doable but I don't advise it for anyone lol). Are you going to have a theme Hers? Link to comment
hers Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Jenn, let us get a budget together first, set a date, pick out where. After that, I'll start working on the details. I want to do as much stuff as myself as possible, especially with food. I know it could get overwhelming, but I think it's manageable, especially b/c I know a lot of people who will help. I don't want a caterer if I can help it. Link to comment

Are you going to have a theme Hers? Not really. I just know I want those colors. Jared and I have made a promise to each other that any details we pick out or want, we run them by each other before we decide on something. even my dress...he wont see it but he does want a say in what I wear b/c I'm going to have a say in what he wears (tux or no tux, for example). like he wants to get an idea of what I like and he'll tell me what he woudl like to see me in best, if that makes sense. he doesn't want all of my tattoos showing, that's the one thing he cares about. i'm fine with that, but that'll take some careful manuevering!

jengh Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 do you still have my word doc? It's buried in my email somewhere!!! I would never delete a work of art like that! Link to comment
hers Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 haha i'll update it soon and send it to you! Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I think that's the way it should be. Civilservant (bless his heart) is from the school of the groom just shows up and says I do, everything else is about the bride lol. And while I love that in him (and will use it to it's full potential like you said, some things like the dress and the grooms tux def has to have a run by each other because at the end of the day, it is the groom's day too.

babii doll Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 love the idea of this thread you dont really need a year to plan a wedding, depending on the size you are trying to have, if youre looking to have a grandiose big budget style wedding then i could see a year of planning for that. we're having a small intimate wedding with under 20 ppl attending Jan 2011. so far most of the details have been planned. seven months to go! getting a little anxious.

jengh Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I found the document! I'm getting excited reading it. I remember sending you a picture of an orange cut like a flower. You liked that for a centerpiece idea, right? Link to comment
hers Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 yes! i remember it. i'm sure i have the pic somewhere! Link to comment
