Congratulations.
We ended up using a DJ for our reception. He did a good job and we were able to pick a "play" list and a "do not" play list. Just make sure they don\'t stick a tacky looking banner on the front of their table for advertising.
Remember if the parents aren\'t paying for something then they get no say in it. They are permitted to offer advice but only when asked.
Oh, and since none of the girls bothered to ask, "how did he propose and what does the ring look like?"
We just bought a new house together......and we are working on it, so its completely empty. He took me there, and when we walked in, he had flowers everywhere and candles lit everywhere (im surprised the place didnt catch on fire) and then he got down on one knee and did the whole bit. It was sweet. He\'s not a very romantic person, so that was a big step for him.
The ring is pretty. White gold....with three diamonds in a row....the center one is a little larger.

dont waste your time/money...
People listen up don\'t stand to near
I got something that you all should hear.
All lies, all the lies she told to me
make a little part of history.
I was always taught that boy meets girl,
fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later, the sweet babys on the way.
Kiss \'em on the check and lifes ok.
I don\'t feel, no pain. I don\'t have, no time
to listen to conflicting points of view.
It\'s a crazy world to live alone,
a ball and chain I call my own
People listen up don\'t stand to close
I got something that you all should know
Holy Matrimony is not for me.
Rather die alone in misery.
I was always taught that boy meets girl,
fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later, the sweet babys on the way.
Isn\'t that what they used to say?
With a girl that you knew,
and the bonds that we grew.
Turned into a ball and chain.
I step into the great unknown,
a ball and chain I call my own.

Because marriage doesn\'t work in the world today
It\'s an institutionthat is in decay.
And if I have love I wish to portray,
I will surely find another way.

So can wedding bands!

congrats lucky lady! Hope its the best for you.
I would go with a band...the DJs can be painful.
-
congrats! There is a new reception place on Lake Zoar right near the Stevenson Damn in Monroe on 34..it looks really cool...

youre doing pats wedding!!?? wtf dude? i didnt even know he was engaged. wouldja pleazse tell him CONGRATS from me?

I might take you up on this. I really really don\'t want a DJ. (because knowing my wacky family, they will spend the whole night requesting the chicken dance, the macarena, and the electric slide) We were thinking of going with a band.
Thank you everyone for your advice! Next weekend we are going to start browsing around and looking at reception places. I really want to stay away from Staven traditions like Anthony\'s and Amarantes. We are thinking about Saint Clement\'s Castle in Portland...its far away....but if the pictures prove to be what it is, its totally unique and gorgeous. The only problem I have with that is...do you really make everyone drive from a church in new haven....all the way to Portland for a reception? Is that cruel?

Congratulations!
I have no advice to offer, but best of luck and life.
:that: i\'m jaded so you don\'t want to hear anything from me, best of luck
wow. not even a year and your jaded? no need to reply as it\'s not the buisness of anyone here, but :wtf2: derick!

Put your foot down on the guest list! Despite my protests my mom bullied my good hearted wife who was afraid of getting on her bad side. Mom contributed very little financially, yet ran up my bill with long lost relatives, some of whom I\'d never seen before or since (no exaggeration). They ate well, soaked up my open bar and often stiffed us on the gifts (yeah I know it\'s shallow, but I went into debt for that wedding!) while some of my friends got cut from the invites b/c we were already so far over budget. To top it all off, some old lady (my great aunt? ) I don\'t know is in alot of the pictures b/c the photographer assumed she was my grandmother. Both my grandmothers are dead, and photos of this old bat mean nothing to me.
We still had a great time, but @ $100 or so per plate, make everyone count!

congratulations! i dont know anything about marriage, i barely have time to date, but i am going to be marrying my friend pat (i will be officiating the marriage, not getting married TO him) so i\'ve got a wedding coming up too.
I have always wanted to do that (preside over a wedding)
Congrats on your engagement.
If you need a band my GF (bigmamablueberry) works for an extremely talented band leader. He used to play with Ray Charles etc. Very classy and they can play anything. (funk, jazz, standards you name it. They tailor the band to what you want etc)

The biggest 3 peices of advice I can give:
1. go here and sign up: http://www.theknot.com/ (http://www.theknot.com/) It\'s free, keeps a calendar for you and is a life saver.
2. No matter how much your parents are doing, remeber that it is your wedding day, not theirs!! They are not the ones getting married. If you are dead set against something, take a stand. You may have to pick your battles, but make a point of this in conversation now before someone takes over and you loose control.
3. Christine found that the bride magazines in the store are like 9$ each, but to sign up for a years subscription is only like $15. If your wedding is more than a month away, it\'s cheaper to subscribe.

Congratulations! Let your mom do the hard work and just make sure what YOU want she gets.

I am very happy and excited. Yet, I am a little overwhelmed. I was wondering if anyone else has had a nervous feeling...or anxiety about getting married. Unfortunately, my mother is making it worse by single-handedly taking over the whole event planning. I feel like I am losing a grip already on whats going on...and its only been a few weeks.
