What a lovely idea, Amy! The big day is imminent for sure.Joi - wishing you and your lovely fiancé every happiness for your wedding day and for your life together. Arohanui (much love). Katrine xx
Congratulations, luck and love to you both! May your lives be filled with Joi! 🙂
May your wedding day be great and your marriage be even better! Wishing you and your new husband all the very best, now and forever!!!
Enjoy your day Joi, and may you have a wonderful, long lasting marriage. xx
Salud, Amor y DineroY el tiempo para gustarlos!
(Health, Love, Wealth
And the Time to Enjoy Them)
Wishing you and your new hubby all the best that life has to offer, Joi.
Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness-Enjoy your day!
This is a lovely sentiment, but Joi's wedding day is still several weeks away. However, I bet we see little of her leading up to her big day and I also hope she has a wonderful day to commence a lifetime of happiness!
Really? I thought we were right on the mark! Even so, maybe she checks and to enjoy it before. We’re certainly have the right month.

This is such a wonderful idea Amy. I wish you both a wonderful day. Embrace the day, not the craziness of the day, and absorb the love. Live each day together as though it could be your last. May you never forget this day, your wedding day. Hold it to your hearts forever. I wish you the best.
Wishing you all the best in your new life, Joi!
Best wishes to you and your husband as you begin your journey together. I hope you will always be as happy as you are on this wonderful day. Much love!
Wishing you and your husband to be all the very best, may you have many happy moments on your wedding day.
OMG, you all are so sweet!!Nicole R is 100% correct, our date is actually August 19th- so we still have 2 weeks until the BIG DAY! Lot's of planning and whatnot, so it's a little stressful but I'm trying to find time to read and check in still :)
Amy is not wrong though, this was also a wedding weekend! My fiances best man got married yesterday, also my niece is getting married next week. So it's basically just Wedding Month!
Again, you guys warm my heart with your words of love and support. So surprising, and this really has made my day!! <3 <3
PBT really is an amazing community!!
OK, on August 19th I have to think flowers and confetti! Your wedding will be the best and I wish you happiness forever!

My parents' anniversary is the day before, and they are celebrating their 39th! Good vibes for August weddings :)

Oh you're getting married on a Sunday!
Well, congrats!
Happy wedding week Joi!I hope this is the most amazing week for you. And I wish a life time of happy times ahead for you.
Again, thanks all!! I think I'm just about done with everything!(I have 4-5 spreadsheets with 4-5 tabs each!). 6 DAYS TO GO!!
Wanted to share what part of our ceremony will be, for my book loving friends. We decided to put in a Neil Gaiman passage that he wrote for a wedding in. This is our nod to my love of reading and books through an author we both enjoy.
Here is Neil Gaiman's Blogpost
This is everything I have to tell you about love: nothing.
This is everything I've learned about marriage: nothing.
Only that the world out there is complicated,
and there are beasts in the night, and delight and pain,
and the only thing that makes it okay, sometimes,
is to reach out a hand in the darkness and find another hand to squeeze,
and not to be alone.
It's not the kisses, or never just the kisses: it's what they mean.
Somebody's got your back.
Somebody knows your worst self and somehow doesn't want to rescue you
or send for the army to rescue them.
It's not two broken halves becoming one.
It's the light from a distant lighthouse bringing you both safely home
because home is wherever you are both together.
So this is everything I have to tell you about love and marriage: nothing,
like a book without pages or a forest without trees.
Because there are things you cannot know before you experience them.
Because no study can prepare you for the joys or the trials.
Because nobody else's love, nobody else's marriage, is like yours,
and it's a road you can only learn by walking it,
a dance you cannot be taught,
a song that did not exist before you began, together, to sing.
And because in the darkness you will reach out a hand,
not knowing for certain if someone else is even there.
And your hands will meet,
and then neither of you will ever need to be alone again.
And that's all I know about love.
That’s so beautiful, Joi - what a wonderful reading for your wedding
Wow! I like that passage so much more than the ocean at the end of the lane! Have a stunning beautiful day. Those are certainly words to live by.
I always cry at weddings ... reading that passage just brought tears to my eyes. Enjoy your day! And your life together!
A belated wish for Joy for Joi--I missed seeing this!
Have a wonderful day Joi, and best wishes for your marriage
Happy wedding day Joi. Best wishes for happy day and a happy marriage.
Happy day, Joi! And more... Congratulations!
I know I'm late but I wanted to congratulate you. I hope you had a wonderful day!
You are all so amazing, supportive, and wonderful. How great it is to have a community here that is so quick to express love and congratulations.Wedding was perfect. My preplanning, spreadsheets, and all the hard work completely paid off with a wedding that went off with no snafus! (If anyone has anyone getting married in their lives, let me know and I'll gladly send you my spreadsheets :))
Hopefully pictures to come, if you haven't seen sneak peeks on facebook :)

Hooray. My wedding was like yours, well planned and ran smoothly, but no spreadsheets as it was 25 years ago--it's so lovely of you to be willing to share them. I'm so happy for you!!!

So glad it was perfect!!! I hope the honeymoon was too. I saw some of your pictures, and you were beautiful and glowing!!! We are so happy for you.
From me, I wish you a beautiful sacred day, and to feel embraced by love (of all kinds) every single day. May all blessings be yours. Always feel surrounded by love.
