I LOVE the yellow dresses in this picture and I agree that the parasol idea is so awesome!

5/8/2011 12:06:05 AM

(yellow is my fav color)

5/8/2011 12:30:27 AM

5/9/2011 1:11:45 PM

i thought my groom's cake was really cool so i decided to share. pretty neat surprise.

5/10/2011 10:35:32 AM

these are from my friend's friend's wedding. (that looks and sounds stupid written out)

I love these!

5/10/2011 2:29:26 PM

Finally back from Topsail

The wedding was amazing!! Perfect weather, wonderful people, everything fell together just perfect. We even got a standing ovation from all the drunk Marines partying on the beach during the ceremony

Thank you so much JT3bucky for DJing. My family can't stop talking about how amazing you were and how much they liked that game you had us play

And I can't believe it but Story Photographers already has us up on their website!! That was so fast

5/11/2011 2:53:37 PM

^Congrats!!

5/11/2011 2:59:03 PM

egyeyes is in the Wedding Planning Thread quite a bit

5/11/2011 3:05:01 PM

^^^Is your wedding the one with the short dress and the teal toe nails?

Awesome!

5/11/2011 3:21:57 PM

It is They did SUCH an amazing job with the photography and they were so much fun to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

5/11/2011 3:57:49 PM

omg

SO PRETTY!!!!

Love the button bouquet!

5/11/2011 4:08:04 PM

omg omg omg as soon as i saw your post wolfpackgrrr i had to go look and it looks PERFECT!


as soon as you get settled down i wanna hear everything! !!!

5/11/2011 5:52:45 PM

Everything was just so great. Apparently 30 minutes before the ceremony was set to begin some of the drunk Marines got into a fistfight and the cops came and it was a big mess. Poor occamsrezr was stressing out wondering what the Marines would do once the ceremony began but they were great! They even handed us beers after the ceremony was done hahaha.

If anyone wants vendor recommendations I've got plenty now

5/11/2011 8:33:30 PM

I saw those pics (mainly your bag you made) and was thinking OMG THAT'S WOLFPACKGRR!!! FRIENDING.

It was gorgeous

5/11/2011 9:02:43 PM

Awww thanks everyone! I was kinda worried how everything would come together since I never did a test run on centerpieces our anything haha.

5/11/2011 9:40:56 PM

5/12/2011 11:17:30 AM

I just realized that I played racquetball a couple times with occamsrezr when in school.

5/12/2011 12:40:12 PM

He wants to start playing again but right now we don't have access to a court

5/12/2011 12:42:00 PM

wow! wolfpackgrrr's pics rock! And your menu looked amazing. NACHO BAR?!!!

5/12/2011 12:48:30 PM

The nacho bar was a HUGE hit. Even the caterer was like, "We brought enough chips for 200 people and we're almost out ." He said he's thinking of including it as a regular catering option now because it was so popular and easy for him to set up.

5/12/2011 2:25:17 PM

Can you send me info through PM or something on your nacho bar? I, no joke, would really like to have a nacho cheese fountain at my rehearsal or wedding.

5/12/2011 2:50:08 PM

^ the nacho cheese fountain reminds me of Talladega Nights

5/12/2011 3:57:32 PM

I think I've only seen that movie once so I can't decide if you are complimenting me or insulting me.

5/12/2011 5:06:30 PM

Nah, I love it

I'm laughing with you, not at you.

5/12/2011 5:12:08 PM

I kind of want a nacho cheese fountain at my next shindig now.

5/14/2011 7:37:59 AM

I think we've got our processional and recessional songs picked. Plz to embed.

Processional: The XX - Islands

Recessional: The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRYNYb30nxU

5/16/2011 6:58:34 PM

nice!

5/16/2011 7:28:04 PM

^^ you're playing The Darkness at your ceremony? LOL that's great

5/17/2011 8:34:16 AM

it is pretty cool

5/17/2011 2:36:22 PM

We have yet to pick our songs for the ceremony. We are so clueless on this kinda stuff.


Also, I need to pick up some groomsmen gifts. I've thought of getting them each a flask and a fifth of their fav liquor, but 2 of them aren't really drinkers anymore. Anyone else got any cool or unique suggestions? All of the things I've seen online that are designed for groomsmen gifts are kinda blah IMO

5/17/2011 3:29:03 PM

We ended up doing zero ceremony music. But it was on the beach so I doubt it was missed.

For groomsmen gifts he got them ties from Cyberoptix.

5/17/2011 3:34:25 PM

i don't know if you'd be into this but i've always thought cufflinks were pretty cool


you can find some BA ones on etsy

5/17/2011 7:34:19 PM

^^^^^ Hell yeah, soon as the ceremony is over is when the party starts. Gotta start it right!

I've been struggling with groomsmen/women gifts too since they're all very different people. I'll end up doing something individual and personal for each, but thinking of something has not been easy.

5/18/2011 12:50:45 AM

My friend that just got engaged is thinking of using these as her bouquets. I think they're really cute!

http://www.etsy.com/shop/AccentsandPetals?ref=seller_info

5/18/2011 8:06:09 AM

I ordered from Accent and Petals earlier this year- I ordered the natural rose looking ones and just mixed colors of the sunflower looking ones. I really like them. My only complain was that it took almost 3 months for the flowers to come in. I knew the flowers were coming from the Philippians and it would take longer than normal but they miswrote my mailing address twice so it was a big headache.

5/19/2011 9:38:21 AM

Good to know! I'll make sure to tell my friend that.

5/19/2011 10:53:31 AM

Officially 1 year out

It feels weird

5/19/2011 3:41:46 PM

3 weeks out.






but i made our logo for the photobooth today (we almost opted to not get any)

5/19/2011 3:43:04 PM

SO CUTE love it!

5/19/2011 9:03:47 PM

awwwww so i just talked to my dad about what to do during the ceremony.
i asked him did he want to go through the whole spiel of "who gives this woman away" and he promptly retorted "NO...because i'm not nor will i ever give you away. tell cody i'm letting him borrow you"

hes so cute.

My wife and I did.


As soon as "You may now kiss the bride", 'I Believe in a Thing Called Love' started up

Another funny thing: Wedding was outside. We had a table with little cheap sunglasses with the hot pink/hot yellow/etc bands. Sign on the table read "So you don't get blinded by our love". Wife got the idea off of stylemepretty I think. I hate that damn website....

I got all of mine Gerber Multi-Tools.

Might not be personalized as much as some other gifts, but I always use mine and I figured it was something they could all get some use out of. If you're a homeowner/sportman/handy person, you'll understand. I always have that thing on me so I figured they could all use one

I just have quite a few groomsmen gifts in the cabinet that I almost never use (Flask, personalized beer mug, etc). Sometimes the alcohol related ones are quite overplayed, especially if your friends aren't raging alcoholics

My husband also gave gerber-multi tools! Great gift.

5/25/2011 12:43:58 PM

My husband and his groomsmen are all big disc golfers so he got them all disc golf bags and we filled them with discs, water bottles, towel embroidered with there nicknames, tshirts to wear to the rehearsal dinner and then one thing unique and personable to each of them. Final costs was probably around $100 a person. We probably spent more than the average person does for a groomsmen gift but we with it being an out of town wedding we knew they encountered a lot of costs to come and be in the wedding- plus they loved the gift so it made it worth every penny.

5/25/2011 4:17:11 PM

hahahaha wtf.

So I had splurged on some nice letterpress thank you cards for the wedding. Today I opened them up to start writing my thank yous and one of them was already written in Here is what was in the card:


I don't think they meant to send this to me They better send me a replacement card or else someone's not getting a thank you note lol.

5/25/2011 10:11:49 PM

Went to a wedding this past weekend...can't said much about it...even though they had open bar BUT NO BEERS! I don't really know much about mix drinks, had some recommendations from girls...other than that there was some cute chicks.

5/26/2011 3:27:53 AM

need to find a limo transportation...one of those long limos would be swell....any recommendations for local limos? thanks!

5/27/2011 3:25:38 PM

wolfpackgrrr - that seems sort of demanding, nothing a little white-out couldn't fix.

5/27/2011 3:38:39 PM

Hahaha I actually contemplated doing something like that I emailed the company and they were like, "Oh that's why we have an extra blank card laying around. Our bad," lol. Should get the blank card soon

5/27/2011 3:41:04 PM

we hired the DJ today

( tommy wiseau )


now to make the rejection calls... I'm not really sure what to say >.<
