For the most part, Will's parents are pleased with our wedding plans. Anne likes my gown ideas(for me and bridesmaids) and Bob has offered some ideas and advice that will help down the road. We had a pretty good wedding notebook session a couple of days

Looks like, according to my mom, we'll be inviting some third cousins to the wedding as well. Will and I have agreed on a "no one under 18" rule, but that'll have to bend a bit. (Some of my mom's cousins have kids, most of whom will be at least 18, but

I spoke to my mom last week, and she told me she had a conversation with one of her friends about the wedding. Typical, of course, but this one backed Mom into a corner about the guest list. Will and I have already discussed it with her, and she's all

12/9: I made a comment about "dodging the bullet" earlier tonight, which referred to settling the guest list issue about my dad's friends attending the wedding. I have gone 'round and 'round about this with Will: breaking my dad's heart by getting in

Will and I just got back from Mom's and Dad's houses tonight; we had that early Christmas with both of them since we'll be gone to Auburn soon. I never thought the wedding could connect so much with Christmas, but I guess for my family it has. At Mom's

Today I read an entry from yellowroses510, whose wedding is in one week. She'd been having some issues with a bridesmaid, but she smoothed them out, and all is well. That's positive thinking at work right there! But that's where wedding-party resentment

I got a giddy email this morning from Desiree, one of my bridesmaids who is pursuing a Master's degree in Georgia. Last night, right around midnight and just before her birthday, her boyfriend proposed! He gave her a beautiful vintage ring, from the 1930's(she's

Today I got an email back from the Hard Rock coordinator(Jessica) telling me we've been approved for The Pantry as our reception space, and that she will draw up the contract as soon as we're ready. (We originally wanted the Avalon Ballroom, even though

We're leaving for Auburn on December 20th. Only 18 more days left! I've been looking forward to it for a really long time, but now I'm getting scared. Sometimes I swing back and forth between excitement and apprehension, and this is definitely one of
