AT LEAST I GOT *ONE* THING PAID OFF

Congratulations,

Now you have 1 down and more to go

Congrats that's one less thing to worry about.

Congrats! I can totally understand

Best wishes!

Congrats! I'm so happy for you. One day I'll have it paid off.

Congrats Soontobe I can definitely relate!!!! It feels sooooo good to make progress!

Paying for things early is always a plus!

Congratulations - I'll be there one day. lol

Yes you will darling because your wedding day will be here before you know it!!! Time has a way of flying when you're having fun -- LOL!!!

I know that's right! Glad I was able to pay most of those high balances off, early.
Congrats, Soontobe, on your dress purchase!

I don't know what happened to that darn ticker, but my date is Sept 15

[quote="soontobebride"]Thanks Cinamin1, are you crazy excited about yours coming up this weekend....do you have everything in place?...

It still hasn't really hit me yet...I'm just taking it all in. Every emotion, feeling, and relaxing. I am super excited, though. Everything's in place. I've confirmed with the vendors, paid all of them in full. The centerpieces & decor have been purchased (hopefully I won't have to spend anymore money on that part). Friday morning, I'm going to the spa for my mani/pedi & deep-tissue massage. After that, we're going over to the hall to decorate and rehearse.

Sounds like everything's in place Cinny!

Yes she will! One thing I learned is that no matter how much you plan and stress over the wedding planning. It will be beautiful no matter what! If and only if something doesn't goes as planned, it won't matter at all.

Preach Soontobe!!!!!!!

I am so sick of paying paying paying!!! I have to go to the reception hall on sunday to drop off another payment.

Soontobe you are too funny!!!! Seriously ladies, just hang in there, it will all work out in the end. I wish you guys the best.

Soon, I know what you mean. I told FH something else we now had to pay for, he said "Damn, every week its something new that got added". lol I told him, get used to it, because I'll probably be adding things up until a week before. lol

Y'all are too funny!

Soon, I break like every two weeks. I see why some brides don't even include FH on everything. I've done that. Just go out and buy what I need. I know by the time the wedding comes, FH is going to wonder how did I pull it all off without him knowing about it. THen, when I don't tell him about things for weeks on in, he starts asking me question. I think he's confused himself. lol

In the early planning stages, my FH was not interested at all. I would leave him a folder with ideas I wanted his input on and he would get back to me weeks later. I just stopped talking to him about it and did what I had to do. Towards the end he was like "It's my day too!, I should have some say on things." Can you imagine, the wedding was already planned by then! -- LOL!!!

[quote="soontobebride"]That's funny, I'm trying my best to include my FH, and I guess he's trying his best to help, but he's just too slow. I love him to death but he's one of those procrasinators, so I just have to take care most of the things, and when he feels like helping or when he wants to put his 2 cents in, I let him (but we always end up going with what I want)...I just want to make him believe he has SOME control over this...lol....

Girl you hit it right on the head..."slow". When I ask him to decide, its always...we'll see, but when I show him how behind we are on this timeline my coordinator email me...again, he's gonna need to start making some concrete decisions and getting some things done!
But anyhoo, congrats on that important milestone....doesn't it feel great to say, "My dress is paid!"

I'm very happy for you, as everything involving a wedding is expensive. I haven't been on the sight for close to a week and miss everyone. Well, it's count down time for me and I am officially nervous; evern as I write this, my heart seems to be jumping a bit with anxiety. I am really going to try to focus on making this event enjoyable. During my week in Florida, I'm going to be so busy with everything and won't have time to view the blogs. Once I return from Jamaica, I will do my best to post pics with the help of Septbride (she's such a doll).

We have three vendors to pay off; the two videographers and the florists. We sent the last and final payment for the wedding ceremony and reception, and found out that we hadn't yet paid for rehearsal dinner. Well, it was hell to write that check but, I did it. We have the Coconut Grove room for 4 hours so, we will try to have a bit of fun, as I was just concentrating on the rehearsal.

Ladies, I wish you all the best on your special day. I fly out Tuesday and won't return until the 21st.

I will give all of the details when I return.

I'll miss all of you.

Ladies, hang in there! Especially with your FH's. I think that it is very common for them to not be too involved until close to the wedding when evry decision has been made. My husband had agreed that we would do things a certain way and forgot and wanted to change things. I was too upset! We had to change some things at the last minute and my Coordinator was a little taken aback. But hey sometimes you have to compromise as well as make them think they have some say in how the wedding goes down.

Congrats!!!! I know how you feel and I'm wishing you the best !!!!
