FAO OM's on WP....

ooh la la, 20 May, 2009 at 22:54 Posted on Planning 0 21

By OM's I mean "Old Marrieds"........

Do you still get excited about weddings and seeing wedding photos on WP?

Do you see any weddings/wedding plans and regret any choices you made?

What is it that makes you still have an active role on WP?

I'm just curious. ? xx

    Hey ooh la la

    I still get a little excited about seeing weddings, especially when it is someone who you have followed for a while (not in a stalker way).

    I have never seen another wedding and had regrets about my own. I had such a fantastic day full of laughs that i wouldn't change a thing.

    I stick around because it's a good place to come and have a chin wag. It becomes a habit ?

    As an old married of 8 months, I still come onto WP cos there are loads of planners who are getting married this year that joined last year whil I was still planner!!

    I don't regret anything about my wedding. There isn't a single thing I would change (well excpet the fact that my BIL wife waited until my PIL took a seat them moved up to the very back row of the church, refused to stand for hymns, vows or when I walked in or when we walked out).

    I still come onto WP in case I can offer some advice or recommendations of services to people, for example, I recommended our piper and drummer to PG and she's booked them for her wedding on Saturday!! Good Luck PG!!

    I also still come on to nosey at what the current trends are compared to last year, eg what the common colours are for the comming wedding season and what dress styles are in this year, basically just to nosey, lol

    Luv Victoria

    Hi spring!!

    Boys are doing fabulous, Kyle got into our first choice nursery (which was the school that Stephen went too) so we're very pleased with that. Adam is doing fantasically!! The doctor told us to keep doing what we're doing with him cos he's coming on fabulously!!

    Yes, we had a fantastically wonderful DVD done! Why do you ask???

    How are you doing, any gossip??

    Luv Victoria

    Yeah thats just the tip of the iceberg, but thats a whole other post!! LOL!!

    We've been putting up with her shyte for 5 years cos as the PIL say we're older (by 2 years, but in my opinion if your old enough to get married then you should act your age and like the adult to pretend to be) so need to ignore it and not lower ourselves!! TBH it gets harder everytime we see her and get the usual catty comments or snide looks - oh and we're still waiting for them to come and see Adam - he's 12 weeks now and they've never even rang to ask how he is or was especially as he was 5 weeks premature and spent 2 weeks in SCBU!! That has really upset Stephen! But of course we need to be the bigger people!!

    Luv Victoria

    I hang around because I like snooping on Tahdahs wedding plans....think she thinks I'm too busy to care about her wedding but I am so excited about her wedding she has no idea - have just been a wee bit preoccupied recently with work.... ? Also I want to keep tabs on all the people who joined when I was planning like Saracroft, Stupidgirl, Ashmegdj, Teehee etc and Purrfectgems.

    I'll also admit I am a bit sad. I loved weddings because my wedding was the best day of my life. I wouldn't do any thing differently other than had round tables for the evening reception rather than rectangle (v sad noone else noticed!). Whilst I am by no way an expert on wedding planning (I hated some of my planning) I would like to think I can impart some knowledge having been there done that...

    Other than that I'm a nosy b***h.

    Do you still get excited about weddings and seeing wedding photos on WP?

    Yes, I love weddings and wedding photos - I will gladly look at anybodys! I have to stop myself from buying wedding magazines!

    Do you see any weddings/wedding plans and regret any choices you made?

    Don't regret any choices I made, but there are so many things I see that I wish I could have/have done. As in, I would have liked to have had four or five different weddings in order to use all my ideas and wear lots of different dress styles!

    What is it that makes you still have an active role on WP?

    I just love weddings, bu also that I like to see how everyones plans are going. There are a lot of people here who still have their weddings coming up who have been around since before me or while I was planning, so I don't want to miss their weddings!

    ? all!!

    Do you still get excited about weddings and seeing wedding photos on WP?

    Yup! I love seeing wedding photos - especially if Ive 'known' them from when i was planning! Its also nice to see everyones different ideas!

    Do you see any weddings/wedding plans and regret any choices you made?

    Nope - I dont regret one single thing! When people say your wedding day is the best day of your life you think 'hmmm' but its not a cliche - it honestly was the best day ever!!!

    What is it that makes you still have an active role on WP?

    My nose gets the better of me ? and I love to see the girls that were on WP when I was on get closer to their big days! Lyns (PF) is a perfect example of this - and I cant believe her day is here!!! I also just love keeping up to date with everyone!!!!!

    Ah brill, I wasn't expecting so many replies!

    I was just wondering, that's all!

    You see, I'm really excited about the whole planning thing and wondered if I would still use WP after my wedding or keep to OT (and hopefully BT!) But that's all yonks away!

    Do you still get excited about weddings and seeing wedding photos on WP?

    Yes I do, I love seeing other people's photos and remember how different parts of the day felt, somehow it makes every photo seem more real when you've been through it.

    Do you see any weddings/wedding plans and regret any choices you made?

    I regret three things... 1. notg paying for a professional photographer. 2. not paying for a professional videographer (i year on and we still have no finished DVD!) and 3. not having a proper hairdresser coming to my house and having proper hair trials, I went to a hairdresser who was too polite to tell me curls weren't going to last in my hair, low and behold... they didn't. I wish they'd told me, then I could have come up with a different style.

    What is it that makes you still have an active role on WP?

    I love seeing other people's plans, I love helping other people's plans. My friend is getting wed in a couple of years so I'm helping her, I also lurk on BT now so I bounce between the two!

    I dont get excited about weddings now, no. I hang around more for a nosey to see people who i feel i 'know' who are getting married this year like, Count Duckula, Royalty and Purrfect Gems. Most people i was on WP with are on OT anyway so prefer to be on there.

    I dont regret anything about my wedding at all, the day was fab, and it will be our first wedding anniversary in 2 months, i have no idea where this year has gone.

    Do you still get excited about weddings and seeing wedding photos on WP?

    I still love looking at other people's pictures (wedding and planning). I think this is partly because one of my BMs is getting married this year and my sister is engaged, so I'm still interested, if that makes sense.

    Do you see any weddings/wedding plans and regret any choices you made?

    I don't have regrets as such, but think there are a few things I would change just because hindersight is wonderful! The day was amazing though, and I can't believe how quickly the time flies.

    What is it that makes you still have an active role on WP?

    I am a nosy ?, and as above I love looking at pictures/ideas. I also think its good to give your opinion on certain things, as you have already been through the day. You realise that somethings really aren't that important.

    Do you see any weddings/wedding plans and regret any choices you made? No, as our day was perfect as it was!
