Still around*!!!

**BC-QueenValerie** · 07-27-2006, 11:18 AM

Hello*!!! I just wanted to let you all know that I am still around. The last month has been BUSY BUSY*!!! Ken had 2 weeks off from work (ford's) for July shut down and we did some traveling. Then it seems that there is always something to do for the wedding, so I have been even busier. 72 days to go til our wedding*!!! So just a quick cycle update. My temps are looking good...I got a pos OPK on cd=14 (late night one) and another one yesterday afternoon (cd=15). Today I am feeling pretty bloaty s I know O will happen at some point today (cd=16). So this is our last cycle of practicing and maping out, I have about 14 more days til our first real cycle starts*!!! woohoo.

Hello*!!! I can't believe how fast these past few months have flown by. As for the wedding plans. We have our shot glassess all tissue wrapped and boxed up waiting for the names to get attached (seating arrangement). The invitations should be going out on Monday (a week early) we have the outer envelopes addressed (still need to check a couple names and print those up), we have the inner envelopes named, the response cards half stuffed, return addresses on outer envelopes, both envelopes stamped, and last night we have about half the maps printed out. We hope to finish those up tonight and then we can print the other envelopes out and stuff them. woohoo*!!! I am going to work on a photobucket account and post some pictures soon. For now I only have pattern numbers for the dresses.
ceremony dress: done in satin brocade (the jacket is the same matierial not contrasting like in the picture)

reception dress: (I am changing after the first special dances) it is in white satin with navy contrast...the one that is looser fitting. (in the picture the blue one up front)

flower girls dresses: (they are done in ice blue and actually have a little netting hanging out to kind of match my 2nd dress)

Those are the only ones I can find online, but the bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids dresses look a lot likt eht flower girl dresses (adults are floor length, kids are ankle length)

Awww! Those are lovely dresses!
DH & I got married at the justice of the peace - I wore a denim dress and white sneakers..

Oh how I wish I'd had a "REAL" wedding!

Familyof2 · 07-27-2006, 02:28 PM

QV! You're still around. I was just thinking about you this morning.

Your chosen dresses are really pretty! I wish I could get married again. We were poor as heck when we got married (which ironically isn't much different than now. Thanks, IF tx!) so we had a pretty simply ensemble. 72 more days to go for you. That's great!!

**BC-Maura** · 07-27-2006, 04:57 PM

Hi QV! Great to hear from you! Where did you go traveling? Those dresses look beautiful... make sure you send us pics of the real deal!

Good luck with your O and keep in touch!

Hello*!!! well we went to Chicago for a wedding on the 2nd of July, then we went to near Erie PA to visit my grandma for a few days..then off to Ohio for the day for a family reunion (ken's side) then came home for 2 days then up north (MI) to Ken's parent cottage on the lake...busy busy...teeheehee

I will post the real deal, but none of my wedding dress pictures are loaded on the computer because Ken doesn't want to have any hint of what it looks like.
My mom told me she got 75% of the bead work done over the weekend...now can't wait to see what it looks like because before this weekend she had about 5% done.
