That is an awesome description Erin!! Are you a SUPERSTAR or what?!

OMG - those pics are so artistic & awesome! And you look so cute - the dress works so well to accentuate the belly. Fun!!

Wow girl. Way to make a really tough, but obviously RIGHT decision! I know you are probably sad in ways, but you followed your gut, and that is the best thing you could have done. Cheers to your continued strength & positive outlook!

Also, thanks for making me feel uncomfortable emailing you telling you basically no way can your "close" friends who I have never met come to MY wedding. Love, A bride trying to keep it together OMG Yari - seriously?? I guess this kind of BS happens to all of us in one shape or form. Hopefully this will be the only insane request you encounter. I'm hormonally raging right now, so I could totally tell them off if you'd like !!

Congrats Maura!! Don't you just love Bradley? Here are my LOVE comments: 1. Your makeup - or is that just a natural glow. True bridal beauty going on there girl! 2. Jose's tie - that blue pops so beautifully. 3. The look you have on your face in most of the pics...kinda like "I've got a secret" LOL! Good luck sorting thru all the pics.

Oh Kate, bummer. I'm sorry But I am glad to hear you were both able to spend some recent quality time. Hang in there

Wow!!! Seriously though, what's the whole story? Was this a surprise for you? For the wedding guests? Inquiring minds need to know!! You were a GORGEOUS bride!

Excellent! It's so nice to have that monthly payment back & still have a car! When I paid off my car a few years ago, I just started funneling the payment into my savings, since I had figured out how to live without that money for so long anyway, I figured that was the smart thing to do. And, I still have the car! It's about to turn 100K miles! My BFF is the kind of girl that would turn around & buy a new car cuz she'd paid the old one off...I always thought that was kinda silly. Glad to hear someone else thinks like me

LOL Jessica, exactly. So, I just caught up on this thread & you guys have all come around to where I started with BB10! When it first started I could hardly stand to watch it because of all the whiney voices and over-reactors. Now, I'm kinda getting into it!

Yummay! This sounds like a fantastic recipe for these awesome hot days!

I've been using bare escentuals for at least 6 months and I love it! I have sensitive skin & large-ish pores. I find that using the kabuki brush minimizes pore visibility. Also, it's pretty hard to F-up on the application. Never get any of those lame foundation lines. I like it most because I feel like it makes me look "natural" and glowy.

I'm crushed! Seriously, I used to think that too Alyssa. I thought it was weird how they could put them on maps since they were always moving. DRRR

Whoa...I am guessing you stopped reading after the paragraph about the size of the spot & to see your eye doc ASAP? I hope everything is ok....

Haha! I agree - cute Abbie. Only you would be stoked about going to Phoenix to sweat your arse off...

Happy belated bday Glenda!! What did you do to celebrate??

Wow Morgan, those are really great pics!! I love the dead snow man by the way - silly pranksters!

PS - I love love love the mantilla veil. If I were to have had a veil, it definitely would have been like yours

Ana, that dress is gorgeous on you! And I think the color was an awesome choice, it works so well w/your skin tone. Congrats!!

Ouch! For my guests it varied, because they all stayed for different amounts of time & stayed in different places. Those that stayed a week rented a condo & saved a ton of dough. I specifically did not go the AI route because I did not want to "force" people to pay for my choice of hotel. It really worked out well this way - those that wanted to spend money did & those on a budget were happy too.

So wow! Too bad I didn't know about this a long time ago. Apparently I have tortured myself sufficiently and found my perfect jeans on my own! The site recommended the exact jeans that I love so much: Lucky Brand Sweet n' Low and 7 for All Mankind Boot cut. But damn, can I tell you how many near break downs I had on this journey? I think the hardest & best thing I ever did was go up a size.

OMG!!! Sassy! Classy! Gorgeous! You two are seriously closet models, right? You must be. You are perfect. Love the pics!!

You look so fricking stoked in all of your pics!! Gorgeous of course. Congrats!

Abbie!! There are some really awesome shots there. That is so cool you got such excellent results with ZERO dollars! I love the light in the one with the two of you standing...it looks like the sun is shining down just on the two of you. AWESOME!

Whoop whoop! Happy birthday Jen. And lucky you, it's on a FRIDAY! Have an awesome celebration lady!
