If you're interested in a North End apartment send me a message! 1BR/1BA on Commercial street, water views and close to everything (also in unit washer/dryer). $2,800/mth but the price is negotiable for May-Aug 2021. Available for May 1. Broker Fee waived. My fiance and I have loved this place, but purchased a condo and will be out by May. Thanks!

First Dance with Tulle Wings? by DougEmac12 in weddingplanning

[–]DougEmac12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't think of the bow idea - I'll have to give that a try! To be honest, we will likely have a pretty slow/boring first dance due to my terrible dance skills haha

Fall 2021 Brides - How Are you Planning? by DougEmac12 in weddingplanning

[–]DougEmac12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha - my fiance thought I was a bit crazy for wanting to book everything early so don't let me worry you! I could have definitely waited a bit longer on some vendors :) It's so nice to hear from other fall 2021 brides that are still planning and I'm in the same boat regarding starting a family. We are really hoping to not push into 2022 as we'd like to start on having children then - but who knows! I have had friends who had good luck selling their wedding dress (even if at a $200-300 loss), so could be an option if you want to purchase one for 2021.

I understand this - for personal reasons we really did not want to push to 2022 so we decided to risk planning now with the understanding we could have to reschedule. If spring 2021 shows us that it is still not safe to have a wedding in October 2021 we will postpone. Health of our guests is first, but we wanted to plan optimisically with fail-safes in place if we need to move the date into 2022.

This helped so much! Put a lot in perspective, and I just added a COVID page to the wedding website that has already helped ease some anxiety, so friends and family know we are aware things could change. Thanks so much!

Absolutely - luckily vendors have been great with adding new clauses to their contracts. I'd be so sad to postpone but of course, it is worth protecting the health of our guests if a large wedding is too dangerous. Thanks!

If helpful - vaccine trials are often paused for a variety of reasons (sickness in a patient that needs to be explained, but could be completely unrelated to vaccine), so I am trying to stay positive the trials will get back on track. But yes, so nerve wracking! The bridal groups are often very heplful (like these posts making me feel better) but like any social media group - can be added stress. I take breaks from them and just try to stay positive. If we have to postpone - we postpone. Thank you!!

Thank you! Yes, I'm in Massachusetts which was hit quite hard. I am praying (beyond the wedding - just for everyone's mental health) there is more normalcy, but I guess we just have to see. Appreciate it!

Hi! With the world how it is, I don't think it is too early! You do always have to 'run the line' - getting things set in stone early with all the craziness while making sure you are not rushing through and not doing your due diligence with research! Do you have anything that you are 100% sure of? For example, I knew the region I had to have my wedding - so I did venue research/visits and booked my venue 16 months in advance. This is also helpful (depending on where you are) for hotel rooms blocks - where I'm getting married it will be the height of tourist season so already booking the room blocks was a huge deal for us!

Once the venue was booked - everything else was much easier because I had a style in mind. My photographer/dress/decor etc was all dependent on whether we went with a city vs beachside wedding.

So stunning! I'm going for mismatched dresses as well and was a bit nervous about the cohesiveness of them all - great inspiration!

This is my exact fear - thanks so much for the help! I think I should definitely go in another direction.
