Anyone else getting hitched?

[Vanya]

My wedding is coming up in October.
I'm a bit nervous and a little stressed.
Gotta get the invitations out soon. =P
At least I got my honey moon paid for already. ^_^

Anyone else care to share?

(Spammers can GTFO!)

Got hitched 1 year and 361 days ago.

[Vanya]

And how was that for you?

[tithin]

Terrifying. I had to take a valium to keep my nerve. After that everything went ok.

I vaguely remember seeing someone's wedding pics while browsing through some old threads.

That would be Bastard Poetry's wedding.

Generic message of congratulations from me to everyone who has gotten or is getting married.

Best of luck to you, Vanya; wedding planning is a fucking stressful, nightmarish bitch of a task.

Hussy and I keep saying that if we had the opportunity to do it all over again, we'd elope and use all that money we spent on the wedding and put it towards having a 6-month honeymoon in Barcelona instead.

But don't let that worry you too much. You'll do fine, and it'll all be worth it by the end.

Thanks, BP.
Yeah, we're only going to Epcot for the Food & Wine Festival for our honey moon, but were putting a good portion of our funds towards it instead of going nuts on the wedding itself. Plus since we've been living together for 3 years we don't really need any of the traditional wedding gifts so we're giving ppl the option to just drop some cash in our wedding account.

Since I just got married I can honestly say that all the planning and stress that went along with it was well worth it. It was definitely the happiest day of my life. I thought I wouldn't do this but I'm feeling a bit sappy, so if people want to watch a whole bunch of videos of my wedding here is the link:

So my recommendation is to just stick with it and the planning makes all the difference for the day going perfectly. There were lots of moments where I was going "What WTF am I doing", "This is so much money how can it be worth it", and "OMG if I have to answer another question about wedding planning I'm going to die". But just stick with it and focus on working hard and keeping your cool.

the photographer almost scared me in the dancing vids he just snuck behind you

I'm getting married in May, and taking the same approach. A lot of our "wish list" items are things we don't want until we can buy a house together, so for now we are employing the families' help with little things we would have to pay for otherwise (DJ, favors, table decorations, video, etc). We might actually be able to pull it off.

In case anyone cares, we are getting married here:

So I proposed to my GF on Sunday (more like Saturday night but it was 12:33AM). D-day is Sept 19. I know, it seems a bit rushed but that's okay.

[Bastard Poetry]

Wedding, with a dry reception. Some of her side of the family will probably be drunk anyway because it's hereditary.

congrats and good luck

[Vanya]

Good luck with the planning!
My wedding will be very short, with a very long, very wet reception & after party. Then I'm going to Food & Wine festival for my honeymoon. ^_^
