A big bit of news- it looks like we're moving up our wedding date to Sept. 9th! The place I wanted more than anything- the Wilmington Island Club (on the island where I grew up)- is available on that date only and the date works fine for us. We're going to get the details on the place this afternoon, but it looks like a done deal. Plus, it'll cost us about HALF of what the Mulberry would (meaning we can splurge on fun extras now!). PLUS, it's within walking distance of the church I grew up in, so I may be able to convince Bradley to have the ceremony there
.

Now that we're changing the date to September, I'm not going with the out-and-out fall theme. Instead, my colors are going to be shades of
brown and pink- very trendy and very cute!
Let me just say that is a great day! Not only my birthday but my mom and dads wedding anniversary as well. (don't worry that they were divorced when I was 6 months old!)

Well, this is not a first marriage for either of us. My Mom wants to be here. She lives about 2500 miles away. If my Mom comes, my fiancee said his Mom will have to also. She lives about the same distance away. We have a one bedroom apartment. We walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. Its a cute little place, but there isn't enough room for people to stay with us. We also can't really afford the expense of flying 2 Moms here and hotel rooms as well. They would probably pay their own way, but I don't want to have them incurr these expenses. Neither of them are well-off. My Dad lives close-by. I'm sure he would want to come, but if he does, how can I ask my Mom not to? They haven't even been in the same state for at least 20 years. Worlds would collide if they were. We don't really need a wedding. We just want to get married! We dont need gifts. So...

Would it be rude if we eloped???????????????

My parents offered us $10,000 to get us to elope. The way I would do it is elope in your hometown then had a party at your parents and one at his parents later. Nothing big, have a bunch of friends over, have food drinks and some music and keep it casual.

Great idea if we could afford it - we can't do anything like that for now though. I am already planning a trip in May. My fiancee doesn't get vacation yet (relatively new job). It would actually be more affordable to have them here (which, like I said, we can't afford right now). And, ok - I can say it here (probably the only place people will understand). Unless our truckdriver friend is in town while we're away, I don't really have anyone I want to watch the cats.

This will be my 3rd and his 2nd marriage. I really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but we've been living together for 3 1/2 years. We just want to get married. We were thinking just us and our witnesses, a friend who is marrying us under the tree in the backyard with maybe another friend to take pictures. Period. We don't want to hurt anyone, but this is how we really want to do it.
