  0 0 You should really check out the new Nordstrom Wedding Suite. That have a great selection of fun and elegant bridesmaid dresses that would certainly fit the bill. The prices are very reasonable for such beautifully constructed garments. Rebecca Pigeon commented about 1 year ago

  Am I a jerk for wanting a "real" wedding?

  2 0 First off, I don't think you should be so hard on yourself. Weddings mean different things to different people. I think you might think it's about your ego, but I doubt that it is that simple. To me, the most memorable weddings bring together all of the friends and family that will support a couple as tackle the more difficult task of marriage. It sounds like you and your husband faced substantial odds in getting just the two of you together. Perhaps that is part of your grief, that you never got the feel the collective love of your well wishers. Whatever your reasons for wanting a wedding, life is just too short not to remedy those regrets that can be remedied. Have the wedding. My one caution is this: the parts and pieces of the wedding do not make the wedding. Don’t focus solely on them and don’t expect perfection. You will have to let go of the idea that this will replace the stressful set of circumstances that brought about your court house wedding. And you may find the perfect dress but it might pour down rain on your big day. Be gracious with yourself and with others. Spend some time thinking about how to include your friends and families and what kind of sentiment you want to express. Ultimately, those are the things that will be remembered. Best wishes to you.

  I want an intimate wedding but we have a lot of friends and family nearby, any ideas?

  4 0 Hi Karen, It can be a difficult task both include the people you love and have the small and intimate wedding you see for yourselves. I would suggest that those who love you understand your need to keep the wedding small and private. Set a limit and stick to it. That limit might be number (only 30) or a distinction (only family). Be open about your intentions so that people don’t feel intentionally excluded. Have the wedding of your dreams and then invite everyone over for a back yard barbeque to celebrate with you. It is not necessary, but it might be nice touch to inform those that you invite to the barbeque that you require only their presence; no gifts, please. The other way to go is to take your wedding on the road. Destination wedding will cut down your guest list substantially. You can also assume the burden of blame, as in “We love you and would never expect you to pay for airfare, lodging, etc. So we’ll celebrate with you when we return and Mr. and Mrs.” I hope that helps. If you are looking for more specific information, please feel free to ask. I am happy to help. Rebecca Pigeon answered in Weddings about 1 year ago Answer and comment »

  looking for a non wedding wedding dress-- nothing white, sexy and elegant, something i'll want to wear again. suggestions?

  1 0 The non wedding dress can be a beautiful thing. I would suggest that you keep the color somewhat soft and consider the lighting of your ceremony and reception area. Consider something with a little shine and don't forget to try sitting down in a chair or attempting a few dance moves.
