Ok, with all the wedding talk and what to give for gifts, I am NOW, after going to weddings for almost 20 years-lol! invited to an outdoor wedding in someone's home.
Here is the scenario:
Bride and Groom (she 22, he 36)
Living together for over 3 years
Groom-12 year old son
Bride and Groom-have a 3 year old and she is due with their 2nd in August
Wedding:
At her mother's house-catered food from restaurant

I know in other posts I said I would probably give the same as a sit down reception but we were orally invited to this wedding so I assume they are doing this just to get married before the 2nd child arrives. I have NO clue now what to do about a gift-lol!!

I guess I am just NOT old-fashioned-lol!! I see nothing wrong with being intimate before marriage.

Did you make the obligatory trip to Kleinfeld's in Brooklyn? When I lived on LI, that was practically a rite of passage after getting engaged.

O0000KK. To me it is a great memory to watch over and over to see how happy you were and how everyone else was happy to see us get married. It is funny to see how young we looked too.
Don't think there is anything bad about having pictures and a video.

I have thought about trying mine on as I did not get it preserved and it is in my closet but have not. It is a pain to get on and I would need alot of help-lol!! I am only 5 pounds more than I was so I don't think I would have a problem with it fitting.

NOOOOO!! My grandmother wanted us to but my mother did not want to have to travel out there everytime we needed a fitting. She instead bought my headpiece and veil after we convinced her that it was not worth it to drive into Brooklyn!!
