I confess that I drank way too much red wine last night! And my head sort of feels like someone is doing this:

Maura - That is awful! But remember that after the wedding your FI's family IS your family too! And thank goodness for your step-mom!

I would invite her. It's unlikely that she comes but if she does come it sounds like you do actually like her - it's not like someone you hate. Plus it will just save you future awkwardness with her at the other wedding or in the future.

I love that underwater pic of you! It looks like it could be in a magazine!

I really close friend of mine is getting on my nerves! I feel like she is always taking, taking, taking and very rarely reciprocating. But for some reason I feel unable to talk to her about it. i hate conflict and a lot of the time I think that it really might just be me. I love her but sometimes I don't LIKE her!

Regardless of what the song really sounds like I think it is so sweet and adorable of your dad to pick this. He obviously took the time to find something that really expressed how he was feeling. I say definitely use it! And consider yourself lucky for having such a great dad!

My nephew likes all the bright colors. House Hunters Intl is one of my faves. Thanks, Carrie! HHI is a fun show to work on because you get to learn so much about other countries.

What kind of yoga is it? Like a power yoga?

Sarah - Fantastic idea! Other ladies - if you've gotten your monogram please post it up so the rest of us can admire them!!!

Hmmm... I am not sure what you should do. I think in the meantime try out both with your dress. Does the bridal salon or seamstress have a corset or stick on cups (like Nu Bra) you could try on with your dress? I think you should try cups and see how it looks. Obviously if it looks bad then you should try and find a corset that is made of lightweight breathable material.

I think you'll do great! The plan once you gety used to it is really easy to use. A lot of the time just knowing the "points" of a food has a big impact of whether you eat it or not. For example let's say you're allowed 20, 22, etc. points per day and you decide that you may have nachos for lunch. You go to Baja Fresh or La Salsa on of those places and you realize that their nachos have 45 points! Suddenly they really don't look that good! Of course there will be times where you'll eat whatever it is anyway but I think sometimes just seeing the facts makes a big difference. You'll do great! Check out some of the recipe threads that have been put up over the last year or so.

We had this argument about a million times when we were planning. I was planning our wedding, working and working freelance on the side at the time. I wanted to kill him! I am trying to think of anything that he did for the wedding and I'm coming up empty. He did help me pick the invites. Oh wait I remember! I left him mostly in charge of the music. It was almost a total disaster! The person who was supposed to create a playlist for us totally flaked out and actually even cancelled coming to the wedding at the last minute. Luckily I had already hired us a DJ to run the ipod so we had to change it to him running the music. Then the unreliable friend ended up coming and Dan didn't get the music from him until the DAY OF the wedding! And THEN the iPod died mid-reception. Thank god we already had teh DJ in place who was able to pick up the slack and play his own music. So the lesson here is maybe if he's totally not interested you might be better off leaving him out of it! P.S. and if it was up to him we would have been wearing army shorts at our wedding! No, I am not kidding. Yes, he actually thought this was a great idea.

The Bahamas have some amazingly sift sand and very warm, crystal clear water! You can literally see everything in the water - it's SO clear and so warm and fun! This is Hope Town where we stayed (thought this is not my picture):

Drea - you're so loving and caring I think you'd make a wonderful nurse! Of course i think you are probably making a wonderful teacher too!

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan we are right sometimes always. I love that! Tonight when I go home I am going to tell my DH that I am sometimes always right. Sounds perfect to me! Anyway, thanks for the clear-up. I thought maybe it just meant we were all sweet and lovable all the time (like puppies and kittens!). Which I also agree with - we ARE sweet and cuddly!

I am a television producer on a show for Home & Garden Television (HGTV)

Quote: Originally Posted by host ...what is this supposed to mean? Ha! I am only laughing because I was literally thinking the same thing? What DOES that mean? Seriously. I literally don't know. I have to admit I don't mind when people bring wine to a party and then open it. If it's like a b-day or something and it's an actual gift then that's one thing. A lot of time peeps parties say to bring something to drink! Also I have to admit that I love wine - cheap wine, middle priced wine, expensive wine... and about a year ago my favorite wine was (and i still enjoy and drink it btw!) a bottle of Chianti by Gabbiano. Most of the time it's about $12.99 and sometimes when you're lucky it's on sale for $8.99. I guess my point is that some delicious wine comes in low priced bottles and I am happy to drink it or receive it as a gift. yum!

I've taken them before - usually after being on antibiotics or something. I don't really know if they're necessary in everyday life. But then again I also eat a ton of yogurt. I never really noticed any effects from them which I think is good.

I totes got demoted to Senior Member! Oh well - I guess that's my punishment for not posting enough!

I do not think $10k is feasible for 40-60 people at the Hilton. That $100pp is JUST food (there's a 10% tax and an additional 15% service fee) and that's basically one of the cheaper menus as well and no apps! Sorry BUT there are tons of other great places that are more affordable. What about an AI like Dreams, Cabo Real, RUI?
