Guestbook book

So I finally got my trip to Jo-Anns in and I finally found a scrapbook for my guestbook. Yes, it is a top loading one but as far as I can tell that and a side-loading are the only ones that actually exist out in the scrapbook world...but glee!I got the one that is in the top left corner. As soon as I get it done and "pimped" out I will post pictures, promise. Me thinks I might actually go off and work on it and such now.

Some Wedding Jokes

DISCLAIMER: I just find these funny, I am in no way trying to be mean, cruel or whatever...just found this funny.

Joke 1: Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her
excitement, not even her parents' nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best
dressed mother-of-the-bride ever.
A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new
young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother.

Jennifer asked her step-mother to exchange it, but she refused.
"Absolutely not.

I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it," she
replied.Jennifer told her mother who graciously said,

"Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress.
After all, it's your
special day."
A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous
dress.

When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, "Aren't you
going to return the other dress? You really don't have another
occasion where you could wear it."
Her mother just smiled and replied, "Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing
it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding."

Joke 2: A happy marriage is a matter of give and take; the husband gives and the wife takes.

Joke 3: Grooms, once you get married remember that when you have a discussion with your future wife, always remember to get the last two words in: "Yes dear".

Joke 4: The celebrant noticed that the bride was in great distress so asked her what was wrong. She replied that she was nervous and afraid she would not remember what to do. The celebrant told her that she only needed to remember 3 things.
First the aisle, because that is what you'll be walking down. Secondly, the alter because that is where you will arrive.
Finally, remember hymn because that is a type of song we will sing during the service. While the bride was walking to the wedding march, family and friends of the groom were horrified to hear her repeating these 3 words. . . Aisle, alter hymn (I'll alter him!)

Joke 5: A man was speaking to God.
"God, why did you make women so beautiful?" he asked.
God said: "I did that to make you love them".
Then the man asked: "Well, God; why did you make them such good cooks?"
God said: "I did that to make you love them".
The man then asked: "But God, why did you make women so stupid?".
God said: "I did that to make them love you !"

Joke 6: The bride said she wanted three children, while the young husband said two would be enough for him.

They discussed this discrepancy for a few minutes until the husband thought he'd put an end to things by saying boldly, "After our second child, I'll just have a vasectomy."

Without a moments hesitation, the bride retorted, "Well, I hope you'll love the third one just as if it's your own."

Joke 7: As a new bride, Aunt Edna moved into the small home on her husband's ranch. She put a shoe box on a shelf in her closet and asked her husband NEVER to touch it.

For fifty years Uncle Jack left the box alone until Aunt Edna was old and dying. One day when he was putting their affairs in order, he found the box again and thought it might hold something important. Opening it, he found two doilies and $82,500 in cash.

He took the box to her and asked about the contents.

"My mother gave me that box the day we married," she explained. "She told me to make a doily to help ease my frustrations every time I got mad at you."

Uncle Jack was very touched that in 50 years she'd only been mad at him twice.

"What's the $82,500 for?" he asked.

"Oh, that's the money I made selling the rest of the doilies."

Joke 8 (this is one of my favorite):A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar loudly.

So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR all the way down the aisle.

As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the front. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was near tears himself by the time he reached the pulpit.

When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear." -too cute-

Invites and Other Fun Wedding Stuff

Because of you, I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream again.
I look forward with great joy to spending the rest of my
life with you, caring for you, nurturing you, being there for you in all life
has for us, and I vow to be true and faithful for as long
as we both shall live.
~a vow I am partial too~

So I am playing phone/email tag with my photographer...it isn't entirely her fault..she lives in valley and they are doing a bunch of construction around her little farm and her phone lines are down...but yeah...it will get all sorted outed. Galt will do a beautiful stuff..I will be an uber happy child created my bride book..and we will find out the photo booth isn't too large to fit in the elevators at Holiday Inn.

Um, the next task I have is to attack invites...I can't find one that is prefabbed that I love..they are just so generic and redundant. So I am working towards doing a really awesome diy'd pocket folder which will look something like this

Obviously it will have more decoration then that but that is just general sense of what it will look like...it will cost around $400 for the whole project but I will be able to send out a product I love...not something I settled for. I am excited..hope to get it ordered soon, so I can collect whoever loves me enough and change them to invite making over Winter Break (like ONE month away..THANK GOODNESS). I know Christine and such will help me..she has more or less promised. I hope to make it a whole like thing but who knows.

I also got to decide what I want the verse to be..but there are like 100 decisions in that too..both parents, brides parents only, no parents...formal, casual, religious...

There is currently a forum post on Weddingbook (a facebook application) called "Lets see who can find the ugliest wedding dress!". Oh golly gee, there are some UGLY dresses out there. Here are a few for your enjoyment

Another forum that had me on the floor laughing is more or less kind of random...this girl whose name is Something Cullen (having a brain fart) who chose the song "Twilight" by the Electric Light Orchestra for her bridal party entrance...without relizing she is doing it for a party full of mostly Cullens...how hilarious is that...yeah, I know Twnerd (Twilight Nerd)

Wedding things to do within the next 2 weeks:
-Order ceremony music
-Order/design invites
-Finally have chat with photographer
-Finish up guest list + addresses
-Excel gift log set-up
-Create job responsbilities for bridal party

Try not to get worried Try not to turn on to Problems that upset you oh Don't you know Everything's alright Yes everything's fine And we want you to sleep well tonight Let the world turn without you tonight

Getting shit done

So this weekend, we got my wedding band in layway

We purchased his ring (no picture, sorry)

And got our cake server purchased and engraved

It feels good to get shit done

Wish the Future-in-laws weren't driving me up the wall...but that is a whole other Oprah.

Newlywed Game or the Shoe Game

I didn't know this game existed until about 10 mins ago and I have to say I am in love. It is the shoe game sometimes called the Newlywed Game...where the bride and groom sit back to back..each having one of the shoe and then the M.C asks questions like "Who has control of the remote?", "Who is the better driver?" stuff like that...then they lift the shoe of the one who coincides with the answers...it is great

I really hope I can work it into my reception some how..I probably can..but yeah...it is great.

You Can't Please Everybody

Yeah, I know you can't please everybody..there will always be something or another down the line that someone will not like..it just happens. I truly am sorry that she is graduating the same day that we have our wedding scheduled....I don't know, it just isn't...well, it doesn't really matter any more.

I am just gonna wait until I figure out how all the parties of interest feel. There is little to no chance I will move the date especially with 90% of it already planned and the wedding in like 6 months. Now if this was something I have known about since he and I got engaged, I might be a little more flexable..but I can't find out one day that she is graduating then be expected to change my plans.

Now this issue is a lot of complicated then what I present here...but really this is not the time nor the place to really to get into it

I will update when I found out more.
