Scott commented when we went to the church that the floor actually slopes slightly down towards the altar. He said that's a pretty nice feature because even if I decide I don't want to walk down the aisle anymore, I can't really stop it. He'll just put wheels on my shoes.

Here is an interior picture of my church, from the altar looking back.

Thank you! How is planning going? Did you decide to move your date?

Is there a garden or a park nearby that you could do a beautiful outdoor ceremony at?

Aww...I bet as you walk down the isle you will think of what he said. That is really cute! The inside of your church is beautiful!

I think I will probably just be thinking "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry" lol. If he cries I know I will. When he proposed he had tears in his eyes, and then I was like "Oh my gosh" and I started crying, and then he started crying harder, and we were just standing there bawling lol! He handed off our camera before he proposed so now we have all these pictures of us getting engaged and doing an ugly cry! I need to learn how to cry prettier before the wedding lol. It's so embarassing.

Oh my gosh! I love that! I bet Matt cries at our wedding. He always gets teary eyed at his friends weddings. If he cries I definitely will too! AND I AM SUCH AN UGLY CRIER lol lol! Just need to think...dont mess up my make up lol!

[Baby Teddy]

Ok ladies...I know wedding planning is tough and stressful so I figured this would give you a lil laugh! My co-worker sent it to me...

My fiance cried when he proposed! I was shocked! I mean he is not the crying kind of guy at all! But it was nice and cute! We have these pics where his face is all red and his eyes are glassy... but not me, I never cry! LOL

[linz06]

Hahaha well I am definitely hoping Scott does not cry at the wedding. But I know it's useless to hope! Sometimes when we're watching tv something really sad on tv (or really happy!) I'll tear up a little bit and I will look at him later and his eyes are teary too.

I never used to be like this at all! It all started when I was MOH at my best friend's wedding, and I was watching her husband as he said his vows and he teared up, and I teared up, and since then I have gotten emotional at every wedding! I always just look up at the ceiling and blink and think of something else, but at my own wedding I don't think I should do that lol!

Okay I can't wait to watch this when I get home from work!

linz that church looks amazing!! I studied a lot of church architecture recently in a couple of art history courses and have completely fallen in love with them. I wish David would be ok with being married in a church, but that is not going to happen.

I have an appointment on Monday with a bridal dress shop that does all custom dresses, that you can RENT for about $300-$400 (or buy under $1000). And, since we are moving the wedding date to end of August now, that can work beautifully.

Overall I just wish we could do the Vegas wedding like we planned. I think it would be the most romantic and least stressful.

[linz06]

Oh I hope you can find a dress you LOVE on Monday!! Those are amazing prices! I made sure my dress was under $1000 because my parents said they would buy it and I really didn't want to put them out too much. Luckily the dress I fell in love with was one of the cheaper ones (and I did try on others that were way more expensive!)

I think Vegas would have been great too. When we were there a few years ago I said we should just get married while we're there, but we knew our moms would both be pretty upset lol! But now, I think that would have been the way to go!

I thought it would be more of an issue getting married in the church I wanted because Scott's family is quite religious and they attend church every Sunday and go to all the church events and whatever. They are Lutheran and my family is Anglican. They are close enough, but his family seems to be very pro-Lutheran everything! When Scott brought up the Anglican cathedral, his mom asked if there isn't a Lutheran church we could get married in instead. But Scott explained my family is Anglican and I guess she got over it. It could have been worse! And my dream cathedral won that battle lol

I picked up my band over the weekend! OMG.. its gorgeous!!!! Its such a terrible waste to keep something of such sparkly prettiness hidden away in a box for 2 months! hahaha I just can't believe how quickly its coming up though... 2 months today! I am ahead of the ball for just about everything so Im really happy that Im not a stressed out bride! Actually I don't really feel like a bride just quite yet. Maybe during the last month or something when the Jack & Jill happens, it will feel more 'real'.

Picture please!!!! Talk about keeping it hidden away... mine came as a set and I have had the band since JUNE!!!!!!!! I won't lie, I put it on about once a month and admire it in the mirror lol!

Why don't we post pictures of our engagement rings and wedding bands? I will have to see if I can find a picture of mine because the store it came from doesn't sell them anymore!

[linz06]

Ha I guess they sell them again because it's back on the website!! Here's my set. The middle part comes out as the engagement ring, which I'm wearing now. I add the "bling" surrounding it on our wedding day Scott and I had actually gone looking at rings and this is the one I fell in love with. I just really wanted a Canadian diamond and this was not made with Canadian diamonds, but I let go of that dream! When he proposed and I saw this ring, I was just amazed that he remembered! Not only that... it wasn't the same ring. He had a ring custom made based on that design, with a Canadian diamond in the center. He's a keeper.

Have any of your family members/ friends made you guys take cheesy pictures together after you got engaged? My grandfather who titles himself an "amature photographer" asked us at our engagement party to pose for a photo he called "tying the knot". Basically he had Matt and I sit on either end of the couch and hold each end a ribbon with my ring tied to it. He went as far as framing that photo (in a beautiful lenox frame) with the caption "tying the knot". hehe he is funny. But it was slightly awkward posing for that photo lol!

Here it is!
