tinkerbellkj Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I bought my first bride magazine today and I was like dancing up to the counter, haha! I'm thinking of having both of my parents walk me down, but I don't know for sure. We're going back and forth about whether or not to get married in the church or not, I am leaning more towards no, because I would love to walk down the aisle to George Strait "What do you Say to that" because he loves it and sings it to me in the car and not have him know until I walk down, but I definitely would not be able to do that in the Church.

tinkerbellkj Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I am obsessed with all wedding shows, esp. Say Yes to the Dress! That is my absolute favorite show! I have seriously considered flying out to NY just to go to Klienfields! Link to comment

savagegirl Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 OMG Say Yes to the Dress is the best show.. and so is Four Weddings!! Where four brides attend each other's weddings and then judge them! I LOVE that show and you can always get original ideas from it! My Dad is walking me down the aisle. I'm lucky, my parents are paying for my wedding, I just have to pay for limo and dresses and makeup and invitations and things. I am thinking of actually getting my mom AND my dad to walk with me, but I don't think my mom would be into it. Unfortunately I have to get married at a church because of my fiance being greek. If I had my way, I would totally go destination wedding or elope to Vegas and skip the entire planning process of a 175 person wedding. But, alas I cannot, gotta make some sacrifices to marry the man of my dreams! Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 A little bit, and since I cannot afford Pnina Torni, I really like Maggie Sottero! Since this is still a secret from my family (because we are waiting until the 10th when we fly to see them) I haven't made any big plans, but once we tell them, I'll be trying on dresses! I've been waiting my whole life for this! Link to comment
savagegirl Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Maggies are gorgeous! I ended up with an Anjolique gown, but my runner up was a Maggie. But if I could afford it, I would SO go with Pnina Torni. Holy cow the most gorgeous gowns ever! Have you been to the Maggie web site? Alot of the gowns also have pictures of real brides wearing them which is really cool, you can get more of an idea of how it will look on a real girl instead of a model! Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Yes! I was just saying that to my cousin, I love that part of her website, seeing the dresses on the actual brides they look so much prettier. Maggie is definitely my style, but my heart (however, not my bank account!) will always belong to Pnina, she is AMAZING! Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Tinkerbellkj, why wouldn't you be able to go down the asile to George Strait? There was that huge YouTube sensation that danced down the asile to Chris Brown's Forever. I think it's the Jk Wedding Dance on YouTube. Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Many of the Catholic church won't let you choose your own music. Well, let me re phrase that, they give you the traditional choices, and you can pick one from there. This has been what other brides have told me that have been married in the Catholic church, but I might be wrong, I hope that I am. Link to comment
hers Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 I am so glad to see this thread taking off with people other than me! makes me even more excited! My manager at work told me tonight that he and his wife got married at this place down the street from where Jared and I just moved. He said they paid $25 to use the outside area of a banquet hall, no extra charges, and the $25 goes to the charity of your choice. Sounds too good to be true so I'm gonna get full details when I can from him...he told me in haste tonight. But I know where he's talking about. It's very pretty with a gazebo and nice green grass, whihc is what I want (a garden type of wedding). So excited to get full details on it and check it out! Link to comment

Okay, and I know you're not big on flowers but if you're going for a garden-esque theme... and the gazebo area doesn't have many... you could always go to a greenhouse and get a couple of hanging baskets (I've seen a few with really pretty orange osteospermum in them!) for some extra color. image removed Link to comment
hers Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Jenn, sent you an email. Also, LOVE those flowers. I like bright and non-mainstream like that. Link to comment
hers Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Since some people brought up songs, let's hear what songs you want to do! First dance, mother/son, father/daughter, bridal party dance, bride entrance, vows, etc... I'm not having a mother/son/father/daughter dance. Neither one of us is too crazy about our parents (with the exception of my fiance's relationship wtih his dad) and we'd rather save ourselves the annoyance. I want our first dance to be something by Barry White. That's a definite. And I will for sure be dancing to a RENT song with my old roommate (we'll probably choreograph that one). And I will walk down the aisle to the first 40 seconds of "Seasons of Love" from the RENT movie soundtrack (b/c the play soundtrack doesn't have the 40-second song intro). What are you guys using?

babii doll Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 the bride entrance music will be pretty traditional , nixing the father/daughter dance. me and my fiancee are really bad dancers so im kindof dreading this part of the wedding lol. i brought up going to a dance class or two so we can atleast do a first dance together so we wont look like total idiots on the floor. the 1st dance song is sade- by your side Link to comment
jengh Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Jenn, sent you an email. Also, LOVE those flowers. I like bright and non-mainstream like that. I thought you might. You tend to like the daisy-style flowers like I do. I responded I looooove the vintage-y ones!!! Link to comment
hers Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Wow you commented on all of them! That was a list I sent to Jared (you were bccd for ease) b/c he wabts to have a say in my dress and wants to see what styles I like most. But I figured I'd send it to you too!! Link to comment

hers Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 I don't have the numbers in front of me...on my phone now. I like ones with little sleeve covers. The first one is my ideal one! Link to comment

I REALLY did like the first one!!! It was one of my favorites! I think it would look really good on you, fit your body type well. Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 As I said before I reallly want to walk down to George Strait, but if not, it'll probably be Canon D or something, my dad I'd like to do "I loved her First" by Heartland, and as for us my pick is Brad Paisley "Then" (as you can see I love country haha) but I think he'd rather something from Frank Sinatra, but we may be able to compromise on something by Michael Buble, such as "Everything" which is a little more upbeat, which might be kind of fun... we def need to take lessons, though! Link to comment
jengh Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Canon in D is always a great choice. It's one of my all-time favorites. If I wasn't doing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, I'd do Canon in D. I think Frank Sinatra would be great!!! I love him. Link to comment
tinkerbellkj Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I was in the mall tonight to get my sister a bday gift and I walked by a bridal shop and the lady was so sweet and let me try on a cathedral length veil on and I almost cried, oh god I can't even image trying on dresses, I'm going to be a mess! Hahah! Link to comment

tinkerbellkj Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm definitely excited, but I'll be more excited when we can tell my family! They still don't know because my fiance could not wait to propose so he did it early! But him and my dad planned a special night in Boston, so we don't want to ruin it for him, because apparently he's very excited. So, it's hard, but it's still fun because I still don't know what this 'special night' entails, so I get two proposals! I just can't wait to see the look on my mom's face! Link to comment
