| Hello everyone!!! I am gettin married on Sept 22, 2007 and I am also really beginning to stress. I'm worried about the weight loss rather than the wedding details. Hopefully I can meet my goal before than!!!

|
|
| Not the only one stressing, here!

Hey all! I am getting married September 8th. I joined Spark People thanks to a co-worker. I would like to look as good in my dress as my fiance looks in his uniform!
I'm new to this, so bare with me!
Thanks!

hi Stephanie!
My arm fat is the bane of my existence. I have already bought my dress (a size 18) and it's strapless and now I'm going crazy about my arms.

Hello! I too am a September 8 bride. I have gained 30 lbs since I met my Fiance and it is very frustrating. My weight has always fluctuated, but I am currently the heaviest I have ever been. I am hoping to not have arm fat on my wedding day, and I am hoping that sparkpeople can help me!!
Thanks!!

Hey all :)
I'm new to this site too - really hoping to be motivated to lose some weight for my September 1, 2007 wedding!
I'm really tall (6'2")- so my weight spreads out, but I'm tired of looking at the scale...hoping to lose close to 20 pounds for the big day!

hey everyone!
I am new to this site as of today but I have heard great things about it. I am a September 1, 2007 bride to be and we are very excited.
Ordered my size 18 dress last weekend. I am hoping to have to alter that thing down by inches!
|
|
|
|
| Due to some crazy circumstances, we're now a September wedding. I'm still getting used to the idea because I had my heart set on our original date (family vacations, ugh!)... I guess this just gives me more time to plan and save moolah! So our new date is September 8. I guess the date shouldn't matter as long as we end up married with our friends and families present. :)

| whew! you inspire me pamelalynne! did you get your dress at davids bridal too??? i sure hope they stick to their word re. exchange if i need a size down...well i WILL need a size down. i figured i'd get my dress NOW in case they for some reason stopped making their 'wow' dress. probably is best to just go get another size than have it altered too much...could change the whole look of it if i have them play w/ it too much.

i was nervous i wouldn't find the 'one' for me. when i finally found it, i really 'found' it by trying it on and being absolutely wowed by myself in it, despite my not being where i want to be yet physically...turns out, they actually call this dress at david's the 'wow' dress. its so beautiful. i got it in ivory...it has little pearls in the applique flowers which is constant throughout the entire dress and it is strapless a-line w/a chapel train. what bums me out is it is a size 16 which makes a bride feel even bigger than she'd like (i only wear a size 12 pants so having a wedding dress that is a 16 really makes me feel sad...why do they DO that to us???!!!)
i'm getting married september 8th...i really want it outside at our location but if weather is ick we can go into the chapel which is very beautiful too.

Butahfly, dont worry, I felt the same way. plus my mom was there and she wanted me to pick out another dress that SHE was in-love with! When I bought the dress, I was so nervous...it also made me think...oh my gosh, I have my DRESS!
SerenityBride, I do know how you feel. Actually, I had to go return my dress! I went from a size 18w to a size 14w!(yay!) so if i can do it, you can too!

Buttahfly, Don't worry! Plunking down on THE dress is a big threshhold to cross. For me it made the reality of the wedding much more apparent than even booking the reception venue did! It will all disolve away the day you actually pick it up from the boutique and you see yourself in it!
SerenityBride, I know how you feel. I'm trying to whittle away a few pounds before that first dress fitting too. But it sounds like your dress is phenomenal and I'm sure you'll look amazing on the big day!

Buttahfly,
I wasn't nervous about the dress at all... I saw it in a magazine, fell in love, and flew to a Louisiana boutique to buy it. The end... except it doesn't fit yet. It didn't then either, but THAT is what I am nervous about. I believe in Spark, but I need to build confidence in myself. I should be 175 by the end of July (losing 1.5 pounds per week), with the wedding in mid-September, I might be able to knock off another couple pounds... that should do the trick, but I am going to be biting my nails in the meantime.

I put half down on my dress yesterday and I am so nervous. I know it is the dress that I want. It is sooo pretty, and has caught my eye since i started looking at dresses.
Is it normal to have this much anxiety over the dress? Has anyone else been this nervous about getting their dress?

I would try to cut a deal with the people doing your buffet and see if you can get a reduced rate for the kiddos.
We are having kids at our reception because most of the people coming to mine have children and the only people they would know to babysit are also coming.
Not to mention I have a 3 year old daughter who will be there and the ring bearer is also 3 and will be there.

| okay...here is the question I been wanting to know. How many of you are going to have children at your wedding reception? Jeremy wants us to have kids, while I say no. I say it should be a time for ADULTS to have some fun without their kids. Plus, I am paying a buffet (all by myself, without the help from my fh) and I have to pay extra for kids! But jeremy insist he wants his neices and nephews there! *He has over 10 nephews and neices!* what should I do

HI,
I am getting married on 09/22/07
We have a few things settled so far. It is going to be a little more difficult for us since we are getting married in our home town which is a little less than 6 hours away from where we are living now.
So far we have the dj, reception hall/food, church and photographer booked. Now we just need to find someone for the cake and we should be all set
We are also doing pink and black.

| Im getting married 21st September, 2007. Got most of it sorted. Venues for ceremony and reception, dress, bridesmaid dresses, food, dj, photographer, cake, registrar. Just the fianancing of it all Im a little worried about, lol. Trying my best to save as much as possible each month. Fingers crossed. Making the invitations myself. White cards with pink mulberry paper and personally pressed cornflowers with matching ribbon down the fold. They look great, if I do say so myself, lol.

We better do it soon! :)

Big change in plans...no longer a beach wedding planned. Instead, we are going to have a small wedding at home with just our best friends attending (witnesses) and then we are going to have a beach themed reception and dance afterwards. Then we are going to the beach for the honeymoon...
Seems weird to be changing plans in the middle of things, but we are... *just keep smiling*

| hey all! i'm getting married 09/08/07... it felt like i had forever to plan, and then last week i realized it's only 7 months away! eek! i do have a lot done though. i'm one of the first of my friends to get married, so i don't really know what i'm doing!!! my dad recently died (we hadn't spoken in years) and i don't have anyone to walk me down the aisle. my fiance's dad is the closest thing i've ever had to one, but would it be wrong to ask him to do the honor? or maybe have him escort me down the aisle and deliver me to my mom? what do you think?

| So I found my dress. Very exciting. I am getting measured for it the last weekend of February...So I'm trying to bust my butt until then. Trying to get as many inches off as possible before the actual ordering.
|
|
|
|
| Cottongirl, I'm also on the 22nd. I just realized how much I have to do between now and then, yike! Work gets really busy for me starting in April, and I'm trying to get as much as possible done before then. It's going to be a crazy next month and a half...

|
| Hi Ladies! My fiance and I decided to get married in Maui so I'm super excited. We are going to have a reception in October but the wedding will be Sept. 15. We didn't expect anybody to come but I guess a lot of people want to so it should be fun. I just can't wait. I want to go now!!
