Horatio Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 AAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Â How could I be late on such an important topic!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness!!! Â CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! Â I am so excited for you! Out of curiosity, why is Lent off limits to marriages? The 23rd of March seems Iike such a great day! Of course we would be honored to help you with ideas. Purple... What a spectacular color! You already know a great graphic artist, *cough, cough*, so I am sure that - Kat - can come up with some spectacular ideas. . I already have some flower ideas, please let me know what shade or shades of purple you are thinking of. PLEASE!!!! Â Ohhhhhhhhh, I am so excited!!!

Topazia Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 hehe I love you horatio. Â I don't remember, I think it's a rule. I know right? It worked out great that it was a saturday... Either light like lavendar or dark and rich. I've got some ideas, like tea-stain or ivory tablecloths over dark purple tablecloths that hang lower. Lilacs as centerpieces with babybreath or jasmine spilling out of the clear vases with purple and clear pebbles at the bottom with tea candles and purple stones around the base. Circle or square plates, white, with purple lines around the edges. Â My ring got back from sizing yesterday. it's so gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topazia Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 The Date is officially set at April 6th. I know I want a strapless or one-shoulder dress with a corset style back. It will be gorgeous because it will be not quite floor length so I can show off my gorgeous wedding shoes (which I will be getting eventually) Â I have the mandatory (because my priest says he only marries people who do) premarital counseling set up to begin this fall with Fr. Don (awesome man btw) Â My wonderful amazing mom will be paying for everything but our clothes and the rings (I love my mom) Â Â Â On a slightly sadder note, my friend Joe got married on Tuesday. I'm happy for him. I found out through that other social networking site. He didn't tell me or invite me. I made sure he felt like a jerk. Â Back to good news. I'm excited and making tentative plans. Can't wait for april! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topazia Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I am member 5155. Just noticed that. heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I know your feelings must have been hurt by your friend Joe. Quite tough hearing the news on a social network. Â Speaking of which, when Facebook officially launches their mobile app allowing you to find all your friends within a specified mile radius, don't use it. They accidentally launched it prematurely and TechCrunch reported that it will show every Facebook person within that specified mile radius, friends and non-friends. The Facebook team pulled the app immediately, but not until after TechCrunch had reported on it. This is a scary app when it comes to surveillance. Â As for the wedding dress, I do believe your dress will be absolutely gorgeous. The idea of not quite floor length is a fantastic idea. Your mother and father must be so excited. The wedding day will be here before you know it. A friend of mine just got married this past April on the 21st. That was a really fun time. Very, very low key. Â For some reason I thought of you today and violets popped into my mind, the little purple flowers with the green leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topazia Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 That may or may not be creepy... maybe they'll fix it. Â ^^ I know right? It's gonna be awesome! They are, they're really happy for me. I'm glad they had a fun wedding! Â Aww that's awesome. I do like violets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Facebook thinks that it is a great way to connect people. I think it is really creepy. They will put a spin on things to make people want to get the app, and then... ooops... too late. Â I love those wild violets. Your wedding is going to be the greatest!!!

Topazia Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm really looking forward to it  I went to Seaworld with Sean yesterday. I haven't been in a decade and he's never been. It's awesome. I'm burned and tired, but it was fun. Just saying.  We made a binder for a wedding planner and weddings are expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Weddings are insanely expensive! Even eloping costs money. It always helps if you know people who are good at different things, such as a photographer, or a band, etc., who can donate their services. My friends had a very simple lasagna and salad dinner which saved them a ton of money. You could always have the reception in your backyard, but that can also run into a lot of money. It is really hard to get away without spending a whole lot of money. Creativity is the key and also it depends on how much you can do yourself. If you need ideas...

Topazia Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 True. I'm just hoping it doesn't break the bank D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I think that between you and your mother, you will find many creative ways to save money, yet still have a phenomenally beautiful wedding! You just have to be willing to think on a non-traditional route. For example, when you are talking flowers, the florist will tell you how to create beautiful arrangements with less expensive flowers as opposed to exhorbitant arrangements with top dollar flowers. For example, my neighbor had the most beautiful bird of paradise plant before the new people moved in. The new people pulled up a fifty year old plant and threw it in the garbage. If I had been there, I would have asked to have it and would have replanted it in my front yard. The plant would have almost three hundred flowers over the summer, more than enough for you to pick and use in displays. Plus, they have purple in them.

Topazia Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 That would have been lovely, that's a shame they just threw it away. Yeah, we're already trying to work out how to save money for the reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horatio Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I was in Los Angeles and the hotel had hosted a beautiful wedding. The bride had used sort of a dark, purplish blue colour for the bridesmaid dresses and they carried bluish purple and orange flowers. The bride carried a bouquest of the same bluish purple, and white flowers. The tables were done with mostly white table cloths, orange accents and an occasional bluish purple touch thown in. It looked really fantastic. I thought the dark dresses were quite elegant and very dramatic, making the bride's white dress much more brilliant. I believe your colours are going to be a phenomenal choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topazia Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Nothing new really... I have to schedule an appointment with my priest to start the process and I still need to go dress shopping. I know what I want on it, but I haven't been able to schedule a time when my mother, my friend megan and I can go out and oogle. Â And now with a second job and a new car, time and money are even more constrained, but with my new job, I'm making more and working more than at staples so money won't be as much of an issue as I feel like.

Horatio Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 So true. I like to be able to move and do more than one thing. To stand all day and just collect money is too boring.

Topazia Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 It's nice, though.

Horatio Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 For the cashier, if you have no customers, it is possible to talk, which is nice. Especially when you get to visit with old friends.
