Don't give her any more ammunition...
The reason she is doing a majority of the planning is that I am not at home to discuss things, view websites, pick out stationery etc. I kinda like it this way, too. All I really need to do is get my tux out of the closet and have it cleaned and pressed. IIRC, the shirt and tie are new or only worn once. Close enough. In the end, it's HER day. She will be displaying the pictures in a place of honor (I hope) on the Wall O' Pictures at the house. I want her to be proud of them, and not hiding them in the bathroom behind the door. As for me, I let her deal with that stuff, I'm less sentimental and more practical. I wonder how much it will all weigh when we move again. Brian

Finally!
She has chosen a date. Sorta. Thanksgiving weekend-ish. Friday or Sunday. Probably. She has the chapel, hotel suite, dress, cake and champagne reception for relatives and any friends who make it. I have to pay for it. Ain't love grand?

When you marry them, they should move from pay-per-view to CCTV.
But it's the other way around, in reality.

BUMP!
The bride has chosen her gown (finally).
It is this one from David's Bridal. I think it's beautiful and can't wait to see the pictures of her on my arm wearing that. I will be wearing a conservative gray suit with a cream shirt that will match the gown and a gold tie. Lapel flower (can't remember how to spell the correct term) will match her choice of sunflowers for her bouquet. More details as they come! I will share pics after!

Keep in mind that it is the marriage that really counts, not just the wedding. I worried myself to a frazzle over mine, and ended up sick, in urgent care on my honeymoon

Very pretty dress. I'm going to assume that the lace covering part comes off so she can really boogie at the reception. Hope all goes well, looking forward to updates!

Binky: She's not stressed much at all! I *made* her get that gown, she was going to wear a gold/black dress instead. I'll show pics of that too.
LabRat: Yes, that gauzy thing is just a cover. Her veil is at her sister's but it will be pale gold and should match well. My future wife must be the only female in the US who hasn't been planning her wedding ever since she was five or so!

BUMP
I have arrived in Las Vegas. My sweetie is on her way, should be about as far as the Hoover Dam by now.
We will take care of a few last second details and then enjoy some shows (thank God they didn't shut down along with Broadway!) and do the Nasty Saturday afternoon. Crashers will be shot and sat upon. Pics and possibly video will be posted soon.
