I love you!

Robert, Once again I cannot receive your full reply. AOL is very limited in the space it will give me and I don't know why. My dad isn't going to get it after tomorrow. I will have to figure out ComuServe and when I do I will mail you another letter. I love you. Can you please send your reply to marriages and stress one more time? If you don't have it, I can forward it to you. I don't know why AOL has so much trouble. Meanwhile I can reply to part of your last letter. We are going to have a professional photographer. My parents only have a couple slides of there Wedding Day. My mother regrets not even having a stranger take more pictures of them. I have only seen one and it was the day after in someone's home. I want our pictures to look nice. We will have to look into photographers in the fall. They can take our announcement pictures too. You did say that you wanted pictures didn't you? This will be a little more expensive but it is the Bride's family that takes care of the announcements. I am not quite sure what to tell you about your ushers. Sunday I can get my mother to talk with us on the phone for a bit. This way we can talk to her together. My mother needs to know about how many people we plan on inviting and how many people your parents will invite. She said that this determines a lot (ie formality, caterer, attendants (our line), etc). IF you can, find out before we talk to my mother. Budget - I realize that the sole responsibility of the groom's family is upon your shoulders. Please relax a bit. We will include these things in the budget that my father is allowing us. I already consider us to be together, not separate. While we are up at Weber in the Fall we should plan most of the wedding. I will have the budget limits (this won't be known until we know how many people will approximately attend) and we will plan the bulk of the wedding. The responsibilities that have been placed upon you can also be taken care of inside this budget if we are frugal and cut our costs, not to the point that it cheapens the wedding. I am going for practical, not cheap. Don't worry so much about messing up the honeymoon. It will be fine. I know that it sounds like I am telling you not to stress, but I don't want you to. This is supposed to be fun. Don't worry about what everyone else has done or what everyone else wants us to do. My mother told us early on that all we needed was a motel room. I am sure she's right. Robert, I don't need anything extravagent to make me appreciate you, I already love you. I like DJ's better than live bands because you have original music, with a variety of singers, practically mistake free. I just have no idea of how to go about auditioning them. This is something else we can do in the fall. If you want we can ask him to play Phil Collins. Whenever I listen to him I think of you, honest. Just promise me that there will be no Mariah Carey. She annoys me, Phil Collins is good for easy going (almost boring) music. I am okay without a groom's cake. I just wanted to make sure you didn't feel left out. Our Wedding cake won't be too big, I want it to be left kind of simple. The guests will be served squares from a separate sheet cake. This way we can have all the fun with it. Just don't mess up the top tier, that is saved and frozen for our first anniversary. The garter belt will be just above the knee. You wouldn't be retrieving it in public if it were any higher. That is all for now. I love you. Please send the other parts when you get a chance, Love, Wanda
