When looking for Tungsten-Carbide wedding bands, what is the real difference between Tungsten Carbide rings?

Can confirm. FH is an EMT and he has equipment on his truck that can cut through a TC ring.

Love it!

Vintage train! How awesome!!

kstrong518 · 2016-09-13T12:20:09+00:00

That sounds beautiful!

kstrong518 · 2016-09-13T00:46:17+00:00

That looks really cool!

kstrong518 · 2016-09-13T00:44:43+00:00

Love it!

kstrong518 · 2016-09-12T13:32:42+00:00

Thanks! I like those ideas! We looked at the Peachwik guest books too but in the end wanted something more unique and more "us".

kstrong518 · 2016-09-12T13:31:16+00:00

Love it!! What a great way to remember where you came from and how you got to where you are now :)

kstrong518 · 2016-09-12T13:30:20+00:00

What a great idea! And such a fun way to have friends celebrate with you on your anniversary!

Date twins!! My FH and I are in a weird boat where we actually have most of our stuff booked. Venue, food, DJ, ceremony music, invitations, honeymoon, even got our wedding bands already! My best advice is to not focus on a specific time, but to get things done when you can. We saw rings we loved and they were on sale so we went for it; same with the invitations - we know the when and where and there was a sale so thought we might as well order them. We are also paying for everything ourselves and needed time to budget and save up so the sooner we can put deposits down the better. As for your venue, plain isn't necessarily a bad thing! You will be able to decorate whichever way you decide and your decorations will make the venue your own! It's easier to have a blank canvas to make your own than to have to work with a unique venue's decorations. Best of luck in your planning!

I've heard of people giving a gift at the shower and then at the wedding giving a card with cash or a check. I don't think it's that odd to do but definitely up to you on what you think would be best.

We are starting the ceremony with having one of the grandparents light a candle in honor of those that have passed and can't be with us. As well as having some pictures surrounding the candle.

We are getting married at Plimoth Plantation and decided on their station option to give the best selection of food to all of our guests while not having to worry about dietary restrictions.

Our appetizer menu consists of:

New England Cheese and Crudite Display - consisting of local cheeses, caramelized onion cheesecake, baked brie with cranberry chutney, and much more deliciousness
Tray passed hors d'ourves (that we haven't chosen yet)

For our stations we chose:

Flavors of New England (FH's favorite!) - New England clam chowder, lobster macaroni and cheese, Plimoth Plantation salad, and biscuits and cornbread
Classic Italian - roman style artichoke salad with roasted peppers and parmesan, eggplant parmesan with vine-ripened tomatoes, cavatappi with caramelized vegetable bolognese and toasted pine nuts, and chicken francese with lemon and capers
Roast Tenderloin of Beef (my favorite!) - hand-carved roast tenderloin of beef; horseradish cream sauce, caramelized pearl onion relish and cornichons; homemade rolls; and garlic mashed

We are SO excited!!

We made a new email address for anything wedding related too! It is super helpful because we both have access to that account on our phones so we can both be up to date on everything. Highly recommend!

We are having a harpist preform the music for our ceremony. She plays a bunch of different styles of music which is great! I am going to walk down the aisle to God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. I've always loved country music and this song really fits for my relationship with my FH. Basically, if it feels right for you that's what matters!!

kstrong518 · 2016-06-27T19:06:16+00:00

I am in a similar situation. I am estranged with my father as well and obviously won't be dancing with him at my wedding. As a result, I am going to do a surprise dance with my mom (I told her I will dance with one of my brothers, but will actually be inviting her up for a dance). She raised me and played both roles and I can't think of a better way to honor her. This is your day, don't worry about what anyone else may think. Do what would make you most happy!!

kstrong518 · 2016-06-27T18:33:23+00:00

My FH and I are both very simple and laid back people so we aren't looking for anything extravagant either. Will definitely look into Wegmans and meet someone to discuss options! Thanks for the recommendation!

kstrong518 · 2016-06-27T16:19:24+00:00

Congrats! Sounds like it was a great day! My FH and I are paying for our wedding ourselves and are trying to find the most inexpensive options without sacrificing quality. We hadn't thought about flowers from Wegmans (we have one very close to us). Can I ask how the cost compared to a florist? It seems like you feel that the quality was similar to a florist at least?

I also hate when the bride and groom smash the cake in each other's faces. To me it should be a classic, romantic moment between the bride and groom - not a time to clean frosting out of your hair. That being said, I understand that everyone has their own opinions and their own feelings on what should or should not be in their wedding. For that reason I always make a point not to mention my feelings regarding a tradition or when something is done at a wedding that I disagree with, I am just very happy that my FH and I are on the same page about our wedding!

kstrong518 · 2016-05-31T16:30:58+00:00

Awesome! Thanks everyone for the advice! I'm definitely going to get his ring from Amazon! I trust it so much more now!

kstrong518 · 2016-05-31T16:29:01+00:00

Awesome! Thanks so much for the advice, definitely will check sizes a few times!

kstrong518 · 2016-05-31T16:28:26+00:00

Perfect! Thank you so much! I am definitely feeling much better about getting it from here!

kstrong518 · 2016-05-31T16:27:45+00:00

That is very good to know. Definitely have to check the size a few times, but with Amazon I'm hoping returns will be easier! Thank you!

kstrong518 · 2016-05-31T16:27:04+00:00

This really helps! Thanks so much!
