and is super excited to get all dolled up with her mom.

The wedding planning process has been a fun and busy time, a little more than a week in and things have been super hectic and crazy. We hope to have most things set this week so we can cruise control into the big day.

We taste test foods tomorrow for our luncheon....

We will decide on the location of our pre-wedding party by Friday....

We have informed the entire family of our decision....

We will pick out the cake this week....

And hopefully we are into a house in the next six weeks....

Fun times.

Was this before or after posting it on CB and CG? :0

You are a busy man Fus...if you are actively involved in all of those decisions, I am impressed. I guess I was 'involved' in all of the decisions as well if you consider being involved as saying, 'looks great...tastes great...pictures look great.' That was my response if she already liked something. If she asked my opinion, it was always 'Interesting, uhm, what do you think about it?'

I really could have cared less on any of the wedding things...I trusted my fiance's tastes better than mine and I just followed along. Guys look forward to marriage...girls have dreamed about marriage all their life. If you have opinions, be careful in how you voice them especially if they go against what she thinks.

I had no part in the planning of my wedding. I married the baby daughter of a wealthy man, so she, her Mom and her Grandmother did all the planning and her Dad just signed a few checks. (He offered to just give the money it would cost for the wedding if we would just elope but that got shot down by all females involved.)

As my wife's Grandmother said: "The wedding day is the bride's day. The groom is just another accessory."

I liked it that way.

Sounds like your wife is\was rather high maintenance.

Of course, I could be completely off, never having met your wife (or even you), so this is just an assumption.

Either way, I know I'm going to warn my future sons to be careful about dating anyone who is the "baby daughter of a wealthy man".

Sends up red flags all over the place.

il Padrino Ute · 04-27-2006, 02:16 AM

Actually, my wife is rather low maintenance. She gets it from her parents. My father in law made his money by going to school getting an MBA and working hard. My mother-in-law came from money - her father made her husband look poverty striken, but he got his money the same way through hard work and opportunistic real estate purchases.

I think the difference between the high maintenance folks with money and my wife's family is whether or not the money is inherited from several generations. Those that are 1st or 2nd generation wealthy are for the most part, rather grounded.

As for warning your sons, that's a good idea. I know that I'll do the same, but as long as their chosen spousal hopefuls have their priorities in order, it really dosn't matter how much money their dad has.

I'm still working on 1st generation wealth. Pray for me.

I'm fifth generation poverty.

Hey Fus I have been in and out town for work a lot lately so I missed out on the initial announcement but let me just say para bems irmao! it is nice to see you so happy!

Like IPU I stayed out of the loop for my wedding and just went with the flow, but then again I guess that come with the territory when our engagement was only 1 month long and I was living in SLC and my wife in Bear Lake.

Thanks for your input. I know that not all "rich daddy's girls" are high-maintenance, and it sounds like you chose wisely.
