Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey dogmom- your situation sounds similiar to mine. My dh and I have been together for 16 years, lived together, bought a house, etc. 4 years ago we decided too get married. Spending a ton of money on a wedding was just not one of our priorities but since we were planning to try for a baby soon, we figured we'd do it. So we took a vacation, went to a NASCAR race and eloped 2 days after the race. We had a priest and the best man was my little Chihuahua. It was perfect. I had a beautiful dress, photographer (booked 24 hrs earlier) and we taped it on Dh's camera. We just came back from vacation and played the tape for our families and that's how we broke the news.

Hi Childholm, I love your story.....especially the part about your best man being the chihuahua!!!! We have a male and female bichon, maybe I can work them into our marriage plans. Best man and maid of honor!

LIZ- i feel for you. It would really p__s me off too, pregancy hormones, or no pregnancy hormones. I tend to not hold back when I don't like something... I'm sure if you would have rather been included in going out - or had him celebrate with you. Hopefully he will see the light, for your sake and your childs. I do think you should talk over your worries, and paint the picture of what kind of parents you'll be... ask him if he's still gonna close the bars when the baby is here... etc. Tell him your afraid of the carelessness that happens over several hours at the bar, that he will need to be really careful because he will then have a family that needs him... see what he has to say. DOGMOM- we are pretty close in our months, I'm 5 months 3 weeks. CIND & DOGMOM- I just love your stories! It's nice to hear some similar feelings on weddings- and relationship experiences. I've never been one to even imagine some big frilly complicated neurotic and overpriced event. I just want it to be meaningful. I suppose we'll invite people... but who knows- I'd be very happy with a private ceremony actually. Though I know he would really want his family there. That plan is for after-baby, so we can talk about it when that time comes. Get this-- I heard rumor that my mother actually said that she hopes that we say our vows in the delivery room once the baby has been born. Oh my god, help me! My parents are so desperate for the marriage, it is sad. I think that the focus needs to change on what really matters here. I suppose they'll get used to it, eventually. They better be nicer about it or they won't be invited to the wedding whenever it does happen!!!! I am spiteful... but also kidding... ; )
