The " Gonna Be Wed " Thread!

[sims2fan]

As Susan said they are called different things depending where you are. Here in Canada we usually call them Stag and Doe's or Buck and Doe's.

I'm having a joint one too, much more fun I think!

I know there going to be some disapointed groomsmen (and one bridesmaid!) over the lack of strippers but that really isn't our type of thing...

Updates Updates Updates!


The days are just creeping up on us so fast ladies!! I can hardly believe it. Seems like yesterday I was saying oh my gosh I have to wait 12 months, and now here I am saying I only have 6 months!! I need more time

My maid of honor decided to have a bridal shower/ baby shower all together in August , cause we'll know what we are having by then. So I'm very excited about that. Invitations are next on my to do list. Those are what I have put off the most. I still haven't done the wedding cake either yet ooops! haha. Today I am working on getting hair appointments for my girls booked. Yay I am just so excited!

.

Hehe that would be to literal for us. My last name is Doe : .

I think my friends are planning on a bridal shower for me. Not completely sure...

Tara, wait 'til the cravings hit to do that one!

OK, so I think I got the Stag and Doe thing wrong. Is that like a joint bachelorette/bachelor party? Tracy, your Vegas night sounds like so much fun!

What Bradley and I are doing is slightly different; our Jack and Jill shower is literally a wedding shower but for both the guys and girls (in addition to the girls-only shower my 'maids are throwing

). He and I are going to have separate bachelor/bachelorette parties- he's probably going to Vegas for his, the big stinker!

That sounds like alot of fun Amy!!

Our Stag and Doe is really an oppourtunity for the bride and groom to make some money to put towards the wedding. It's a huge thing to do where I'm from. As far as showers go, my girlfriends will be holding one for me, and Jeff will get his own seperate bachelor party

Thanks, Amy! We are going to get a couple of those disposable DVD cameras too(about $30.00 each at CVS). They each are good for 20 minutes of airtime. That should be fun...

Tomorrow I'm taking the day off so my maid of honor and I can go to lunch and assemble wedding favors.

Saturday night my friends are kidnapping me. One of them was nice enough to let me know so I can dress up!

 

[eburgess]

We finally got our DJ!!

I was getting worried that we would have a hall and no music.

 

[ugaimes]

So, um, HELLO RENEE! Need about-to-be-married-in-2-days update!!!

I agree with you Amy! I was also wondering how things were going Renee!

 

[rockcat]

Ok! Well, my Mom is in town and my DF and her seem to like each other.

The cake is going to be decorated with white on white "lace" and I am going to add fresh roses.

My gown is off white lace and I got off white satin/rhinestone flip flips to go with it. I know, kinda funky, but thats how we want it.

He is wearing jeans and a tux shirt with flip flops and the ceremony will take place under the tree in our backyard.

The reception will be in the same area as well as the bar that we live above. It is supossed to be a hot day, so most people will probably be in the lounge.

My parents have agreed to sit at the same table.

They haven't seen each other since the 70's.

There will be a towncar coming for us and taking us to our hotel in Orlando for a short, but lovely honeymoon. Friends will deliver our car the next day. We are only an hour from Orlando. We have dinner reservations during the honeymoon at Sleuth's Mystery Dinner Theatre.

Thanks for asking, Amy & McKenzie!

 

[ugaimes]

Sounds like you got the last-minute plans all set!

I'm so so excited for you two!

I think that'll look so cool, y'all getting married in flip flops! And that's so great that your parents have agreed to be amicable for your big day

. You'll have to share pictures with us sometime afterwards (though you can spare us the personal honeymoon pics, hehe

).

RENEE! GOod luck! I'm sure it's going to be beeeeeautiful!

And I guess I get to join this thread officially now! Woohoo!
We're going to put ff planning this beast for a while, yet, but here are some thing we DO know:
-It will be in Chicago

-Most likely in Spring, 2008 (if not then then fall 2007, but that might be too much, what with graduation then BAM a wedding)

-I have some musicians/sound tech people for the ceremony and reception in mind (they won't be getting paid, but can consider their services their wedding gift to me and will obviously have all the perks of being guests!)...I'll probably assemble a string quartet out of friends for the ceremony, and have any chamber group who wants play during the meal of the reception and then I could go jazz combo or "fake" DJ for the dancing part...I'm also going to orchestrate all of the ceremony music myself with my Maid of Honor-to-be who is a composer.

-My Maid of Honor will be my best friend Cheryl. If she wants to, my sister can also be a Maid of Honor, I'll just have 2!

-We both dislike churches, but if my uber-Catholic family has their way, we're thinking about asking Ian's boss (who is a Catholic priest) to marry us.

-I'M KEEPING MY NAME. It's mine, it's been that way all my life, and I owe who I am to me, not Ian (although he obviously hasn't hurt anything in the self discovery department

)

But yeah, that's probably all that will be planned for a while yet. I'm just still thrilled to call him my fiance!

 

[ugaimes]

I knew you'd have some fantastic music lined up for your wedding. I'm sure it'll look, sound, and BE beautiful!

Yes, and I'm going to get quite a deal on that string quartet, considering how much they normally charge!

 

[miss mew]

Glad to hear all of the wedding plan updates. Good luck with your wedding Renee!
