More Pictures and a question




Here's some more wedding pics. I will post some from the honeymoon soon.

Hooray for God for creating marriage! I promise to blog about something else pretty soon, but I'm just so excited to finally be able to get some pictures up?

Here's a question:

For those of you who are married, how long did it take you after your wedding to get all of your thank you cards out? Would you think someone was a bad/ungrateful/rude person if she took, just for example, 6 months to get them out?

If you're not married, would you be horribly offended to not receive a thank you card until say, I don't know, maybe, hypothetically, 6 months after the wedding?

Not that I have any personal experience relating to the subject... :)

you have a year, don't sweat it. figure out how many you need to get out between now and your first anniversary, divide that by how many weeks there are. then it will be manageable. done and done.

how nice would it be to get a thank you note that went like this;

"i can't tell you how much the candle holders mean to us. our first anniversary is next week, and i'll be using them at dinner..."

A year? I was hoping for more like 3-5 years . . .

Oh, good! I'm not the world's biggest jerk after all. Julianne (my best friend since forever) even came over and helped me by addressing most of the remaining envelopes, so I'm getting close. They're just not quite in the mail yet. What is it about getting married that just makes it seem like there is never ever enough time to get anything done/ I know, I know, wait till I have kids, right?

We sent out all the cards from the 4 showers Kori had before we even got married.

My wife rocks!

Yeah, don't feel bad... just make them personal. In my humble opinion, there's nothing worse than getting a generic card.
I thought I was going to be SO on the ball with the thank yous... Shaun and I both wrote personal notes in each one, and had them all done in like, two weeks ... but then it took a couple of months to actually get them all addressed and sent out.
I am so happy for you Paula - God is so wonderful and FULL of blessings! Yay for HIM!

I was at a baby shower last week, and what those people did was to have everyone write their name and address on a blank envelope on their way in... :)

As for me - I make it a point to tell people to PLEASE not send me a thank you card, and if they did, they would be in serious trouble with me...

i rarely have things to brag about, and i'm guessing no one's going to keep reading these comments, seeing as how it's been like three weeks since it was written...so i'd like to say that i got all my thank you cards out two weeks after the wedding. but that was basically only because ben's sister got married two weeks after we did, and i had two six hour drives to get them done, and also that there were only about half as many people at the wedding as had RSVP'd (stupid heat) and your wedding had loads more folks and....well everyone loves you way too much to care about when the card arrives.
