Welcome to the world, Frisco! He's super cute, Stephanie as is Ellie!
{{{GC & GF}}} I'm sorry that things have been so difficult. I do love the picture you posted of the two of you.
Aimee, it sounds like the smackdown was well deserved.
I think TCG and I are most definitely going to go with eloping (unless we change our mind again) and let Mom throw us a small party after. The idea of being the center of attention all day really freaks me out to much and the cost of a big wedding is crazy (for us) considering what we really want are kids and a house sooner rather than later.
So now I need to find a wedding dress that will not look out of place for an inn wedding or for a brunch party afterward, but is still fancy enough to fulfill my childhood dreams of a pretty, white wedding dress.
Be careful about the "small party after" my bro and SIL tried that, and my mother tried to turn it into this huge wedding reception.
Consumer guru Clark Howard recommends www.funerals.org, which represents nonprofit funeral societies. Here's what they say about Neptune [link] Funerals.org is mostly aimed at preplanning, but there's information about what's available.
sj! Where you been, girl?
I like that plan. I think that will be so much less stressful for you.
And get the dress you want. People can deal :).
Oh, that first dress on Aimee's link is amazing!

I’m not too worried. My mother knows me well and she knows I don’t like crowds or being the center of attention.

Very pretty! I love the first one, but it’s too small. I was hoping to lose a little weight before I started looking, but I really should start soon.

Hiding.
Hiding.
I was afraid of that. I meant to e-mail several times and didn't. I'm sorry.
