Did anyone hear back about the checks? Porda replied to me and hers were like mine, NY Bank Delware. Those who don't have this might be okay. I guess I won't be cashing mine yet anytime soon

That sure is something you pulled through. hug I wouldn't know what I would've done in your situation. I'm thinking I'll probably cry if the marine layer was on the beach, but maybe I'd get lucky.

Through tough times builds character, no? But I can only imagine the stress. They said it's supposed to be the happiest day of your life, seems to be the most stressful day of your life!!
Well, you know me - I have a lot of character! laugh out loud 2 people were married that day Big Grin I try not to over think it. I tend to only get upset over things I have some control over. People still say it was the best wedding they had ever been to and I thought that would settle me...but nope - it's that I know what should have gone down. Honestly, I put so much into it- we're going on 5 years and there are still some days I get irritated about how things went down- but those thoughts are fewer and farther between now. We are our own worst critics shake head

laugh out loud Yeah, I only gave it a 1" binder and bust out of that in a few months, I still need to upgrade it to a 4"!

Quote from GoHeels :
My quotes from earlier didn't save this long, & I don't have time to go back to find them. Embarrassment Thanks so much to Porda for the decorating tips. I really appreciate it. hug . . .
I still have more bows to make. Nothing is packed, & I have to buy a dress. All of this has to be done, before we leave tonight. EEK! Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
...
No problem, let us know how it all went! I don't know if you saw the post about the frames... I'm sure you'll be fine and will be able to bring it all together. Don't forget to pack one of your VS cardis! hug

Checks- I compared numbers with azn - I have both the old bouncy checks AND new ones that they issued. All 3 checks are from the same bank (New York/Delaware) with the same routing number and account number. Facepalm
I would call and request that they move the amount to your Angel Card or CC. They are well aware of the problem, so it should be pretty easy to deal with by now. Further, if you are going to deposit it, I would only recommend cashing 1 check because if it bounces, your bank charges you the returned check fee on each check. VS was OK with crediting customers on 1 fee, but because I had so many, VS wants me to have my bank FAX them the info for each check b/c I had 6 bounce. Banks don't fax your info, that is a privacy issue and mine won't do it on personal accounts. Good luck ladies Wave

I got a check from the same bank of new york (delware). It was from a discontinued bra for which I placed order and I don't have angel's CC. I am also still waiting to encash it as I don't want it to bounce. HTH

Mine took a full week after 'deposit acceptance' to bounce.

Um, not sure. Never had a check bounce before. Knock on wood. I'd assume it would take 3-5 days, depending on how large the check is. I'm not a good person to ask this. I am the type who deposits and forgets about it until i need to pay my bills laugh out loud

Cross my fingers for you. Let us know what bank you get the check from

Aww, I'm sure you guys have good memories anyway. As they say, time heals all and I'm sure many years into the future when you look back, it's probably even better remembered than all the crazy things you've gone though during weddig day!

Thanks! I was super worried last week when he all of a sudden brought home spelling words without warning. I didn't know k5 had them.

I think he makes nice stuff krusty. I like Fekkai and Chi's products a lot better, but for the price it's nice stuff.
