GENEROSITY

Pics from the Engagement!

Registering Guns are stupid

What ever happened to "hello miss how can I help you?" Now they give you this stupid gun, you point and shoot and voila, it's on your list. Yea, well 4 hours of point and shoot we are home and there are 15 items on our list.. 1) we don't remember if and what never made it on the list and 2) we hate everything we scanned.

Online Shopping is FUN

Preparing

This is how a woman prepares, followed by how a man prepares for a wedding.

Venues - WE Channel I'm Calling.

I swear. The WE Network needs to take me around with a microphone, video camera and a 10p time slot. These places need to hear first hand what the bride and groom think of their venue, packages, prices, and whatever else they have to offer (like the rude bitch who takes your personal information).

First up was a spa/lodge resort in Northern NJ. Exquisite to say the least, this venue was beautifully decorated, cozy and all around great. The ballroom made me super anxious knowing people in their bathing suits would be looking at me as a bride (so awk because I totally used to do that to people).

We went to another location on the premise and it was AMAZING. We felt like we were in Ireland or Scotland. Then we went into the reception hall and it looked like a bunk from the war. It's a shame because it would have been perfect.

Next up was a farm in bumblefuck NJ. We saw a cow pulling up, but it wasn't the animal it was another bride (badum chick!) We went inside and the glass case of dolls didn't throw me off, nor did the 22 year old Banquet Manager, but the office that felt very funeral homey ish mixed with the tiled walls really did it for me.

Walking into this lovely country club in Northern NJ, the first words that spew from my mouth were "Red Roof Inn." Not trying to knock Red Roof Inn, but I don't want to get married there. Red and Yellow dirty overhang made us a) back out of the driveway and b) totally knock it off our list without going inside. The door was open, the lights were off but we trespassed anyway. It took me a few minutes to realize I was in the same venue as my Senior Prom - another horrifically traumatic night, so we left.

Bridal Party

Would it be really inappropriate to send my bridemaids cookie cakes with a message that says "Please eat the whole thing so I look skinnier than you xoxo?"

TIME 2 TIE THE KNOT

Hi! Thanks for following us. Hopefully you can get a sense of who we are based on our blog http://time2flythecoop.blogspot.com/. We got engaged 1 week ago! ( A beautiful sappy story, for theknot.com not for here) and we are starting to hunt for venues. Based on our experience with house hunting, we feel it's important to document everything. Because again, you can't make this stuff up.

As we are starting to make lists, check them twice and prepare for this huge celebration, we have a lot to consider. Guest list, venue, dresses, flowers, food oh my. We like to take things slow...

While I do adore social networking and everything it has to offer, I'm not a very public person (this is the bride speaking). Granted, if there was a dance competition offered at the world cup and the biggest idiot had to get on the field and dance it would be me, but this whole Barbie bride thing? not so much.

While walking my dog the other morning, I witnessed two very lovely woman power walk in my direction. Unbeknown-st to me, the entire town had already heard of my upcoming nuptials and the words "CONGRATULATIONS" came pouring out... followed by "FACEBOOK!! EVERYONE KNOWS!" Not only did I roll my eyes but then hid my ring and gave the whole "omg I want to die smile."

Moving on from that disaster and the endless dying phone because of phone calls, we're getting more comfortable with the experience.

Then again, we're only one week out.
