Our parents were there. Understandable though, hope it's a wonderful day for you.

/also eloped...this past May.

(I never had white dress visions in my head!)

1. It's your day, Chica! You make the calls, not any one else. It's how you want it to be.

2. Be NICE to your wedding party. (Hopefully they'll be your friends even beyond this day!)

And my best advice:

It's NOT just about this one day. It's about a life you're building together. For the rest of your lives. This one day, as important as it is, isn't the end all, be all. Please don't be so focused on this day that you forget why you love this (wo)Man!* Don't be so focused on the perfect day that you neglect the (wo)Man that you love, and why you live him (her)*. Love, laugh, live. Whatever happens, happens. Will it matter at 75? 95? No? Then Laugh. It is what it is.

Once you've done all the planning, just remember this day is the day your lives as husband and wife (husband/wife)* begin...you've done what you can, and enjoy it for what it is or isn't. No you except the two of you have to live your lives. Remember what you love about your spouse, and make a promise to yourself on this day that you'll never forget.

((My husband and I waited 10 years, through the end of HS, all through college and then until our careers were really established to commit. It's not for everyone, but we wanted to be sure))

Good luck! Love. Laugh. Live.

*And totally important, Don't JUDGE! <3 It is what it is.

Don't go crazy with $ on the Wedding do it nice and small, nobody will remember a thing 6 months after unless somebody got piss drunk and made an ass of themselves. If you are gong to spend a lot of $ do it on the Honeymoon those memories will last longer and be more special to you two since it was a private time

5 years and counting

We're trying the keep the wedding costs down for just that reason. I plan on having a kick ass honeymoon. That and my future hubby's parents have offered to pay for flowers. One less bill I have to pay!

Flowers are such a waste of money. They're far too expensive for the amount of nothing they do.

Fuck the reception, go to your City hall, get it done, spend all the money on the honeymoon, and change your facebook statust to "Married".
