Weddings!

[zeeba]

No, I'm not getting married. HAHA. Went wedding dress shopping with my brother's fiance and we had a blast! So now it's all on my mind, and what girl doesn't like talking about weddings. I thought this could be an interesting thread. :bouncie:

Anyway, the coolest dress she tried on was a very "princessy" one. HUGE ballroom skirt with lots of sparkly beads and all swooshy and just really pretty. Another cool one had different colored flowers embroidered on the skirt and top. So that was different, and pretty cool too.
It's funny how other shoppers give their opinions....she walks out in a dress with a layered ruffled skirt to look in the mirrors and one lady is all like "ooh, i don't like that at all...."
um...thanks?

:rolleyes:

[chocolateismybestfriend]

[zippnkandibar]

[NeedGod]

i loooovvveee weddings. especially the reception when there is lots of food. i usually serve high table at church so i get the niceties. :yay: anyhow, i want to be able to make my own wedding dress. and i will also say ruth's vows after the normal vows.
also, i will sing to my husband.
i usually feel so mushy when they say i do, geez, i cant wait for my own ' i do'
but i dont want an expensive wedding so afterwards i am broke. i want one within our means.
what more, i wont walk slowly to the pulpit for my wedding. i dont think i will be able to if i wanted. i will walk so fast or i will run. i will want to say my 'i do' and be owned by my hussy.
I WANNA GET MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About my sweet(did I say that?) cousin Namwacha...just read hers and man, it's shoked me...no, wait a minute..let me go get some air firsst then I'll be back to finish off this post....lol

as we were talking about weddings, what were we saying? -namwacha's issue is but beyond repair...."lol":)

[collegegirl]

There are ways of having formal weddings without getting too expensive. Currently, I love helping out with them. I haven't had many wedding caterings, but I love to see them. I would love to get married, but I am SOOOO not ready. I am not ready for the responsibilities that come with families, so thus I am not ready for marriage. Plus, there are no guys that seem to be ready for it as well, atleast none that have been interested in me. I prefer being single currently, but that could change in a heartbeat. A double heartbeat after the skipped one. :D Okay, okay, I will stop now.

[Unregistered]

hey Namwacha.
you're not alone girl. I'm crazy about weddings too but I'm not ready for my own yet. my friend is getting married in may and I'm her chief bridemaid. I'm so excited girls.....
the funny thing is that I'm not desperate about marriage yet but I'm planning my wedding already. Friends, I think my own will be the best ever. I dream about it so much and can't wait to say I do, I do... to my king

[NeedGod]

HAHAHAHAHA

boy are you desperate Namwacha!!! :D
imagine i am not. i wont be getting married till i do my masters anyhow and i am barely through with my undergrad. still, i have dreeeaaammmmsss. i have had them since...i dont remember, i have always had them. and its true, i will run or walk swiftly to the altar.

[Flyboy]

since i was bein bad and readin about gurls weddins i thought i would post as well to let ya kno my favorite part of a weddin(specially my older bro's.) is silly stringin an tiolet paperin the car, tying tin cans to the back, an shorting his horn out so when he started the car it kept going off intermittently on its own.:yay: ..now that ive got that off my mind i can be good and leave again..:)

[FreeAtLast]

Flyboy I think you need to take a real quick flight out of here!! :gun_banda

[FreeAtLast]

Ok Girls you know the rules...we are not allowed in the Fort they are not allowed in here...so click on that mouse and vote away....
:tank:

[NeedGod]

oh well, i cant vote him down when i find his post so nice and well, nice....:peep:

[blessed]

Pleaseee namwacha, obviously you have not been paying attention to the previous posts

[desertroses]

imagine i am not. i wont be getting married till i do my masters anyhow and i am barely through with my undergrad. still, i have dreeeaaammmmsss. i have had them since...i dont remember, i have always had them. and its true, i will run or walk swiftly to the altar.

You are funny girl, and you know, you're not alone, we all have dreams. The part about you running down the alter was too much, I laughed until my stomach hurt :)

[desertroses]

oooppsss...did I just write "running down the alter"??? my bad, I meant running down the isle...:)

[NeedGod]

you people think i am not capable. i warn you, i am entirely too capable to do such things. especially after i have been waiting to be married for so long. i want my weddin to be the talk for quite a while, and a big wedding just wont do it. i want action. :yay:

[AgapZoe]

hmm? that's her, yet she calls me strange! :)

[desertroses]

Lol. I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so forgive me if I'm re-asking something, but has anyone ever thought about the colours they want? One girl that I know had rainbow colours for her wedding. Each bridesmaid had on a different colour... I thought it was interesting, but not for me..

Any thoughts?

[desertroses]

By the way, what happened to Flyboy?? Ha, ha :)

[blessed]

I don't know...hope he did not get into another car accident.

[NeedGod]

colours, i want white for the bride, thats al i know. i guess i would have to come to terms with the groom on that if and when i get a groom. either way, its going to be one colour

[blessed]

Colors i like blue and burgundy and yellow and brown.. so if i ever get married one of those colors I will use...of course i will be in a magnificent white dress....actually a wedding with an all white team looks pretty cool too.

[NeedGod]

really? you think i have good ideas. nice. now you may want to consider my idea of running to the altar. pretty neat. everyone will love it. only, dont tell anyone it was my idea. no, not because its a bad idea, becuase i want you to get the credit for it all by yourself*snicker*

[azurity]

I think it would be cooler if you used roller blades. Imagine the impact. Have the whole bridal party come skating in... Of course, you could have a skateboard or scooter if you prefered.

It would just be easier than running in a wedding dress and fancy shoes, that's all!

[collegegirl]

LOL :D Everyone is sooo funny. I have thought about the cake, I have thought about the location, I have thought about the photos, I have thought about my dress, I have thought about the colors of the bridesmaids, I have thought about the flowers, I have thought about who the attendants are going to be. There won't be much left to do by the time I actually get married. Oh, BTW, does anyone feel that the style of the dress that you will get will also kinda depend on the guy that you are marrying?

Namwacha, how could you have waited soooooo long, when you are only just a bit older than me? they say that you are only as old as you feel, so then I must be about 13 or 14. :D Don't rush it girl.

[azurity]

Good advise, Collegegirl! Don't rush it. Wait till you know it's the Lords will.

And I'm older than both of you. It's worth waiting, trust me.

I guess alot of things would depend on who I married. But then, there are certain styles and things that I like, and that won't change according to who I marry!

I want long sleeves in my dress. Or at least to my elbow, and then sheer fabric after that. I guess to me, short sleeves are really casual and informal. And I want my dress to look nice forever, not just on the day!

[marichino_freedom]

SKATEBOARDS!!! or get married at the bottom of a mountain full of snow and snowboard down?!

[blessed]

hmmmm.....what an interesting thought

[collegegirl]

Hey, that WOULD make the wedding one to be remembered.

[desertroses]

Lol. I agree about having your own taste. I don't think it would matter that much on what the guy's opinion is on the dress, you have to like it, after all, you're the one wearing it! ...Not to mention a few other things...Lol, all the guy would have to do is to show up :)

[SisTrev]

I had tons of fun planning my wedding...the nice thing about it tho was that I pretty much had my whole wedding figured out on paper by the time Trevor actually "popped the question". SO it was less to figure out for me. I had found a dress in a bridal magazine about 3 years or so before i actually got married, that I just loved. THen when I actually went wedding dress shopping it was hard to find something to match that one. But I finally found one very close. The material was the same and the train was fairly close...the only differences was that the one i ended up with had lots more beadwork on it. But it was still very pretty. And Trevor never even seen my dress till i walked down the isle...so his opion didn't count anyway...

I still have it...I've tried to sell it a few times but haven't had any luck. SO if any of you girls are a size 4-6 when you get married and want a dress at discount price then let me know. Of course if the Lord terries then I suppose I could pass my dress down to my daughter...

[azurity]

SIZE 4-6???

Man, this sounds tiny.

I'm a 12-14. In Australia.

Your sizes are totally different. And sound so funny to me!

[In_His_Grace]

Dear Sister Trevor,
Please don't sell your wedding garment. I did when my husband lost his job once and we needed cash. It was about four years after we got married. I had paid seven hundred for it. I sold it for two hundred dollars, at the time that was a lot of money and we needed it. But I regret it. I have two little girls now who would love to see it and possibly wear it some day. I would love to have it to let them try it on. It was such a beautiful thing. I have beautiful pictures of it. But I wish I still had it to admire and share with my girls. You may really miss it. Perhaps you would want to get it out and look at it after you have been married twenty years. Sister Lynn
:) P.s. Also It types the word that the bride must clothe herself in.

[NeedGod]

oh, you all people want to buy dresses, i will make my own, i will get a design and i will patiently work on it till its done, even if it takes a whole month(it'll probably take two or three)
i aint rushing it, i just think its funny and i have waited so long to get married(since i was 6 lol) and i have been rushing it since then, so no worries.
yeah, i agree, dont sell it unless you are in a real desperate situation. wow, size six? how in the world did you get so small? even models arent that small!i hope it doesnt fit anymore! no, seriously, that is way too small!

[NeedGod]

i have got the perfect design for a wedding dress i am just itching to make. i am looking for someone who needs a wedding dress in church to be made or something. i just have to make it, like totally have to, its not even an option. oh my, i wonder who needs a wedding dress so i make one for them!

thanks for the advice....i dont really plan on selling it for sure...it was just an idea. But i am expecting a girl here in about 7 weeks, so who knows...maybe 20 years down the road she'll want to wear it...If the Lord terries that long. WOW!

[SisTrev]

I admit...i was very small when i got married...dont know if sizes are different in Kenya like they are in austrailla or not but i'll try and describe the size i was....I am about 5'3" tall and when i got married i only weighed about 110 lbs. Now i am stil the same height but am around 135 lbs...(well at least i was before i got pregnant)...so that puts me in a size 10-12 now.

[collegegirl]

Wow, just an observation....that sounds just like my size, only I fluxuate slightly in my weight.

But I have no plans to get married in the immediate future.....

Sis, you keep your dress. You will always wish that you had if you get rid of it.

[NeedGod]

uuuh,i am not sure, we do it in kilograms here.let me see, i am 42 kilograms and 5'2....am i smaller or bigger. let me calculate that to pounds...
oh, i got it, thats about 93 pounds according to some online conversion table

[blessed]

93 pounds!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

You need to eat more food child

[SisTrev]

i totally agree....

let me cook you up some nice fattening foods...:chef
dont want you to blow away...

[NeedGod]

lol, i am not too small, but my best friend says i should add too. i think i am perfect for my height. and i never get to eat lunch(and at times dinner )coz of work so i aint adding any time soon. later perhaps!

[azurity]

Namwacha, that's just not healthy, skipping meals! Don't do it if you can, honey.

Umm.... I'm 5' 9.5"... and I've got NO idea what I weigh. It's just not important to me. :D

[Sara]

I agree Namwacha... don't skip those meals!

-and no, you don't have to eat fattening foods either, just healthy stuff, BUT. a lot of healthy stuff, you know?

It'll be good for you.

:chef

[SisTrev]

even tho junk food does taste a whole lot better than healthy food.

[NeedGod]

OH,if i could, i would eat lunch. but my school is in an expensive part of town and i just cant afford it!

[zeeba]

you people crack me up :rofl:

anywhooo

here are a few pictures (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/nefercaity/album?.dir=ed98re2&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/nefercaity/my_photos) i've collected from my brother's wedding last weekend

it turned out beautifully, if i do say so myself :D

[EllyMae]

You should post some of the wedding... The actual ceremony ;)

The pictures are beautiful.

So, green, pink, and white the theme? Hehe

Who came up with it? :)

[God'schild]

those are awesome wedding pictures.

[zeeba]

lol I don't have any of the ceremony yet...it would have looked ridiculous if I was standing up there with my camera...lol. Becky (another bridesmaid) wanted to try to sneak one "for the cool view!" but I wouldn't let her.

The colors were entirely the bride's idea. lol. when I tried on my outfit for fitting she took one look and started laughing...:( but wahey! it worked! :P

[azurity]

Bec is hilarious!! Tell her I said hi. I miss that girl!

I loved the pink & green! Especially the green in the men's ties. It was awesome! If I was planning a wedding, I'd definately consider that green.

[AlanaH]

There was a wedding in our church once where the colors were lime green, electric blue and hot pink...it was actually really cool. There were two bridesmaids wearing each color and their bouquets were white and the color of their dress. It sure looked awesome in the pictures...
