Navy adds restrictions for submariner pay
this is why my hubs obliserved so he would continue receiving his submarine pay while he was on"shore duty" but these restrictions are crazy :/
kate- lmao yea we were wanting to wait till our 10 yr anni but its getting closer and closer haha in 3 yrs we will be married for 10 yrs.. we want to travel so we probably wont have a wedding just no time.:/ and like i said it isnt a priority my mom will just have to deal
Jennifer- OHHHHHH lol i feel dumb.
Kate -i had a white wedding with 4 months to plan, if you want a white wedding you WILL have one. I know with the navy, and military in general plans can change at any time.. i was scared to death the whole time they werent gunna let him come home, but try to plan it around a time he can take leave. but idk how it works when he gets to his first duty station.
we are planning on renewing our vows since we didnt have a wedding.. we just did the justice of peace but it went so perfect that renewing our vows isn't really a big priority like it was before we got married.. but my mom wants me to have a "real" wedding :/
@ emily- a white wedding is a traditional wedding
& @ katie- see if he would be able to make it home, and have it there, his parents requested that we wait until we're 21 but that didnt happen haha and i've read that its easier to get married in school because youll be on his orders and they'll move you with him instead of having to do everything yourself!
