our engagement story is really nice, we got engaged on april 30 2005. he went to get me my coffee from the car and would give it to me only if i married him and he got down on one knee. it was sweet after a day where everythign semed to go wrong. we were soppose to go to salem on a shopping trip but that was cancled, so instead we were going to go to see my dad and go shopping at the local mall and that night grab a movie, but it was cut short cause my mom had an accident and was in the hospital so bed early to see her in the morn , no movie, but he still asked!!:)

I'm very sorry for your loss. Just know that she's not suffering now - its a mild consolation, as I know you would love for her to be here with you now physically. we're all here if you need us!

[Kelly1Mickey]

I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. I wish there was more that I could say.

[tiffani]

thank you all for your sympathy and thanks to this forum in general because i would be clueless about some of my wedding details if it wasn't for you all. i'm still looking for a dress and haven't done anything in the mannor of booking but i have everythign planned out in my head and most written down on paper.

thanks to you all i know exactly what i want to do to honor my mother, i know what kind of center piece i want, colors, and i have alot of nice tips on what kind of dresses might look good on me.



the hardest part about loosing a loved one is to continue living without them.:(

[ca_dawson]

I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and yoru family in my prayers.

i am going to use this to write out all my plans i have so far.

to give the bride away:
i decided to let my stepfather give me away, to honor my mother and his relationship and him standing by us for soooooooo long.

bridal party
i have my best friend melody as my MOH and my two other best friends andrea and shannon as my BM. my FH's BM is diane his best friend other then me.

cerimony/reception site
so far my plan is to have the ceramony and reception in the same place, we are going to try and find an outside place but we are also looking at the legion that i belong to has a huge bingo hall that we can rent out prity cheep.

favors
i am thinking of a small bag with some little things in it, keys from a keyboard (both computer freeks),some candy probly PB cups(our fav), and a piece of a puzzle which people can put together through out the reception. the puzzle will probly be a winter sceene because i am highly thinking of a winter theme for the reception:)

center pieces, and tables
my center pieces will be vaces(not too small, but not huge) with small white blue and clear pebles on the bottom, with water and a few real flowers or with a few fake flowers (still deciding) on a doily shaped like a snowflake. the tables will have a white table cloths and i will sprinkle silver and white and blue confetii on the table.


colors
my colors will be white and blue and i may incorporate a little silver too.

my dress
i would love my dress to be one sholder strap with one longsleeve that is butterfly or bell sleeve, the dress i want will look like it gathers cloth to the side and will be fastened there with a silver snowflake pin. the top will have some embrodery on it. this is ideal and i am still looking for it.

BM's dresses
i already found my BM dresses and they are nice and would look good on my BM their bodies are not "normal" but the BM dresses i picked are a-line and are soo much their style i am thinking of having my MOH wear a shade darker of a color of blue to make her stand out a little and the other two match in a litter shade (sky).

that all i can think of for now i'll write more once i think of more that i fergot!!

I'm very sorry to hear about your mother. My grandfather passed away in Feb, and he and I were very close. To remember him at my wedding, I bought a memorial candle, which states his name. I am having my grandmother light it right before the ceremony begins. His name is also going in to the wedding pamphlet that you pass out at the wedding. I'm not sure if you knew those ideas, just thought it was a way to have your mother there in spirit...

my planning is still going on but i have decided to put it on hold for at least a little while my mom's celebration of life is comming up and i need to help my stepfather plan that and organize that. if anyone is interested you may read my mom's obituary it gives you alot of insite into my mom and me the volunteer regional food pantry that she worked in i started her working there when i was in HS.

one thing thats not mentioned is that my mom has been in a weelchair due to a freek accident about 13 years ago so needless to say all that she has accomplished after working in waterville was all with her in a weelchair.

thanks for reading my journal, there is alot of things that i need sometimes to just write and i don't care who hears me.

thanks

I truelly feel like your mother is going to a much better place. She is always with you no matter what you are doing. I havent read a obit since my dad died and i dont know why i chose this one now, but, i'am not going to lie its going to be hard for a little wile. This will get easier and just when you think you havent thought about her today, something will remind you and help you get through the memory. My dad was one of a kind in my opinion, but i cant tell you how many times i see somone doing something and say, OH MY GOD my dad stood that way or smiled that way or did that a peticulare way. My dads been gone 6 years now, i still think about him everyday. IM here for you, everyone is here for you. Its ok to talk and say what you want noones going to judge you. Thats not we are about.
