To second Zahrah:

It’s *your* wedding (well, and Phil’s)…. not your mom’s or your sister’s, or anyone else’s.

Do what *you* want. I wish I’d done what I wanted 19 years ago, instead of having my mom call most of the shots, on my dime… I still have the husband though, so I guess it turned out alright anyway.

Okay, after my previous comment, I had to look up what 101010 (10/10/10) is in binary. Being a huge nerd, I was excited to see it was 42 which we all know is, “the answer to life, the universe, everything.” Just saying…..

I got married 10/10/98 which for us was a great choice. It is easy to remember (for anniversaries) and has been beautiful in Michigan on that day for the last 10 years. An easy date helps to avoid the missed anniversary battles.

I quit smoking in December and did it cold turkey. I found the hardest time I had was at work because i would not take a break. To remedy that I started taking little walks for my breaks. I still from time to time, jones for a smoke but it gets easier. And oh my god cigarettes have gotten expense. I was a 3 pack a day smoker thats like 20$ a day x 365 = 7,300$

Can we assume that the wedding will be podcast for us? Or are you inviting the Internet to your wedding also?

Where are registered? Or should we all just send chicken nuggets?

(A podcast wedding, that would be SO TJ!)

TJ, I hate to admit it, but saying it was not your fault for getting hurt by Phil defending himself against your kick is like saying you’re not responsible for getting shot even though you broke into the home of the person who shot you.

And I suggest a Halloween wedding!

T.J.

This is coming from a man who recently celebrated his 14th year with in my eyes the most perfect woman in the world! We paid for all of our wedding and when it was all said and done it was a very simple and quick wedding. Remember this, the wedding will last maybe 30 minutes at most, the reception will last maybe couple of hours? Save your money because if you are anything like my wife, a couple of days after she plopped down on our couch and uttered the most famous words ever spoken…..”Can we talk?”, the next thing I knew I was at sears picking out……..washer and dryer…..we still have then both and allot of clothes have be put through them with two boys and a husband you do the math….any way. Do what you and Phil want, but really what you want, the man doesn’t really care it’s about the bride that day anyway….

Lol, having gone through this twice my best recomendation to keep it small is set a expectation and stick to it. Remind people it is YOUR day. First wedding huge lots of people lots of headaches and quitting smoking while trying to plan something like that would have been borderline suicidal and sooo wished we had just eloped by the time everything was done and said. Especially when I had to kick my sister out of the wedding party but that is a long personal story i won’t bore you with. To keep my second wedding small we made the rule of immediate family only. Yess there were quite a few uncle, aunts, cousins hurt by that decision but we still ended up having near 45 people also we couldn’t afford a huge wedding. We also got married down at the court house where there was hardly enough room for all the 30+ that showed up. Free food brings em out of the wood werk. But having a set rule and not making exceptions is hard and people will be upset but thats life you can’t please everyone but you can please YOURSELF. Just like there were people upset from the first wedding where we strongly worded our invitation to state NO KIDS, we weren’t paying $65 a plate for a kid who wouldn’t eat hardly anything and we didn’t want kids running around our reception.

BTW might i recommend 10-10-2010 :) Phil wouldn’t forget the date mine is 08-08-08. My first wedding was in Oct and Oct is a awesome month to get married. Also the end of Oct is the wine and food festival at Disney’s Epcot, drink and eat yourself around the world.
