one thing to remember about losing weight that close to your wedding, what about the alterations for your gown?  will there be time?  instead of having your heart on losing that weight, why not just concentrate on eating healthy and going for brisk walks.  it'll make you feel good about yourself, whether the weight comes off or not.  and it'll give you that glowing look for your big day.  good luck!!

As of 2/9/06..(subject to change)..I plan to just go to the courts this August to get married that way we can be sure to have a honeymoon wherever we like. \n1. We are 22 & 24 years old. I am a senior in college and he was a victim of Katrinia so we don't have a lot of money to spend.\n2. Also our families are 12 hours away from each other so which ever state we would choose to wed one of our families presence will be limited.\nSo we have decided to have a reception or party after we are married in each state for our family.\n\nHe actually was the one who wanted a big wedding but it didn't matter to me. I rather prepare for our future then to go in to debt because of one day. Some of my family and friends will be upset once they hear this news but unless they are paying for most of it this is how its gonna be. Besides, I have enough student loans!!

I am using the Knot Wedding Planner. The ideas are good and it has great checklists. I like it a lot, but you may have to supplement it with a three ring binder with pockets as it doesn't have pockets. Congratulations on your engagement!

Is it similar to a wedding ceremony? If so then just go by that. If it is different you could still use one of them. I think that is really nice.

What about little white boxes or tiny pails of chocolate hearts or other candy, with a little note saying with love from (you & your partner)? (The Conversation Wedding Hearts look like a fun thing to wrap.) Or a white candle wrapped in gold or whatever color theme you have chosen? \n\nYou could put one at each place-setting at dinner, or you could send them out after the wedding with the thank-you cards - easier to organise than distributing them when you are trying to get away yourselves! \n\nThere are some great ideas on the links below, BTW, like personalised wedding-cookies.

Oh my gosh!  How beautiful IS THAT going to be :-D!!\nThe leaves will just be changing....BREATHTAKING!\nIdeas?  Hu, well, if you haven't picked our colors yet I would go with brown and yellows or reds and oranges to of-course accent the changing seasons.\nInstead of flower pedals, the flower girl could sprinkle dried fallen oak leaves down the "isle".\nBeautiful white chairs on eather side of the isle with lots of white tuddle ( that see thew stuff)with the wedding colors accented with bows.\nI see the bridesmaids in a strapless gowns with shawls to keep out the cold.  I am going back to the yellows, oranges, golds, reds and browns.  How would black tuxes, black shirts w/ gold ties be...ooh!  and then have your hubby-to-be have a white shirt.\nor a theme of "cow-boy" could be cute, then you can do the hay-bales for seats and keep with the red and gold them.  Have a pig roast and the dance in the barn.  YEEEHAAA!

Fall theme with deep reds browns and golden colors.  Use leaves and mums as decorations.  I went to a wedding like that it was beautiful.  The bridesmaids wore a deep apple red dress.  Very lovely.  Or for my August wedding I just did a theme of hearts.  I like silver so everything had silver hearts on it.  My favorite color is purple so a had many different shades of medium purple flowers and decorations.  It was elegant yet relaxed.  Go for whatever your hearts desire is.

Have an evening candlit ceremony back home with a dessert or hors d'ourves buffet at the reception instead of a full on meal.  When I got married I contemplated eloping, but realized I would regret not having my dad walk me down the aisle or having our dance....so, depending on what means the most to you, you should be able to decide what is best.  Congrats and good luck!

1. For a unique party favor my groom and I are giving out lottery tickets. Only $1 each.. I will have a note in the program stating the tickets were chosen because we are so lucky to have our family and friends with us on our wedding day.\nI will also add a line that all winnings will need to be split with the bride and groom!\n\n 2. Instead of having an ordinary guestbook, that you hardly will look at again, I am going to create a photo guest book.  My guestbook attendants will take polaroids of each guest... either individually or in a group, however they come, and put it on the pages of the guestbook/scrapbook.  The guests will then sign on the bottom of their picture.  My fiance and I will then have a photo album of all the guests at our wedding! :) GST\n\n3. We are getting married next year and instead of the traditional wedding we have decided to go with a "rock-n-roll" theme. We are going to have records displayed around the hall with our names on them and a picture of the two of us. Our colors are navy blue, black and silver so there will be plenty of those colors…from the silver glitter on the black tables cloths to the silver spray painted roses.\n\n 4. Since this is a second marriage and there are children that will be blended into a new family, we are decorating the tables at the reception with photo trees holding photos of my future husband and I and our children doing things together. We feel it shows that this marriage is not the union of just two people, but the formation of a new family.\n\n5. We had a shortage of single men and women invited to our wedding, most of our friends and family were already married.  So we needed to come up with something different to replace the traditional bouquet and garter throwing.  We invited everyone to the dance floor and the dj played several lovely, slow songs.  First the dj told all couples married two hours or less to sit down (everyone got a kick out of that).  Then a few moments later, any married a year or less, than five years, ten years and so on, until there was only one couple left.  They were neighbors and friends of my family and had been married for fifty years.  We asked them to stay on the dance floor while I took a seat and my husband made a big show of removing my garter.  We then faced the winning couple, congratulated them on their fifty years and asked them for their best marriage advice as we presented them with the bouquet and garter.  They were very touched and it gave us a great feeling too.

I've had 15 months to plan and it's been plenty of time.  I would say your going to have more than enough time to plan the wedding but at least start the major plans a year in advance.

My husband and I were in a similar situation and we had a very nice wedding for cheap.  Your best bet...do it yourself.  We had the reception at my parents house.  40 people in the basement and living room and it was great.  everyone had so much fun and it was very memorable because it was once of a kind.  my mom did the food all herself and we got some KFC chicken because my husband is supervisor there.  If you decide to do the food yourself you can contact me through this site and i could give you some ideas and tips no problem.  i got my dress on sale at a bridal shop because the style was no longer made.  it was only $500 (with cleaning, steaming and alterations) marked down from $1000.  There are also alot of prom and brides maid dresses that resemble wedding gowns that you could go for as well.  a plain wedding band can be as little as like $100, then later on in life you can renew vows and give a different ring(thats what we ae doing) and you can make alot of decorations and favours and flowers yourself or get them cheap from like a dollar store.  we got balloons and streamers in pink and silver for the decorations from the dollar store.  under $50 to decorate and you'd never tell we spent so little.  keep the guests minimum and that way you could do an open bar too.  for the 40 guests we bought 5 cases of beer, bottle of vodka, rum and rye and some wine.  it was plenty and everyone was happy not to have to pay for booze.  it was great and such a wonderful day.  we got married a a wedding chapel for like $250, but you could look into doing a ceremony at your home or something for cheap too.  just keep in mind everything that needs to be done can most likey be done yourself for half the price.  dont give up and dont wait if this is what you want to do.  its no impossible and trust me, if you love him that much, its a day you'll never forget.  also remember, you can always renew vows some day and do it the way you want when you have money.  thats my plan. small the first time, then big party when we renew.  best of luck to you.

My suggestion is look for a really good dj/mc in your area.  This is the person who will truly make you and your guests have a great time.  \n\nThere are so many things you can plan at your wedding...do all of the traditional chicken, hokie pokie, macarena, hustle... also as the person above me suggested the "married the longest" dance (or also called anniversary dance) as well as dinner table trivia where the dj/mc announces the serving of dinner to tables only if the table can answer the trivia question. \n\nGo over everything with your entertainment and also ask for their suggestions.
