My daughter announced her engagement a couple of weeks ago and I find myself smack dab in the middle of planning a wedding.
I didn't have a big wedding, so this is all new to me. I knew about the basics, Brides family pays for this Grooms family pays for that..but I didn't know all the extras. Present for parents, present for groom (I always thought the Bride was the present to the groom?) etc etc etc. So I am in for a year of new adventures, the least being spending two days looking at brides magazine and getting sticker shock on wedding dress prices. Seriously who pays 15,000 for a dress you can wear one day? Seriously?
so now I have new blog ideas, I started homeschooling Tasha which will be another set of adventures. All will keep me busy and hopefully a laugh for all of you.

I worked in a wedding store before I got married and I don't remember those extra presents either. I just remember the little thank you gifts the bride and groom buy for their attendants and people in the wedding. Maybe they've made up a few more things since then:)
Weddings do seem to cost an awful lot these days. Hope everything goes well and you are able to find a beautiful dress for under $15,000. :)
You can really save money by taking the dress idea to a seamstress and she will design the dress for way less. I have a friend who lives in CAlifornia and is a miracle worker in bridal designs for less. They are so gorgeous too.
Homeschooling is great! You're going to do so well and Tasha is too. This is so exciting!
Home-schooling Tasha, huh? Will this be a long-term thing do you think?
(As for presents, you can tell Denise I don't expect/need a present for filling by Maid of Honor duties. Since I don't live close enough to help with wedding planning and all.) :)
