You will have an amazing day!!!!! GOOD LUCK!

If you don't get red while working out then it is more likely the enzyme issue. I have several friends (again all asian) who have this allergy. It comes on after 1 drink if that, so it's not about quantity. Also, it's not an all over flushed red - it's really splotchy - kinda like hives. I know people that get the all over flushed red too and it's different than the allergy. It sounds like I know a lot of boozers.

Embrace it now because after you are married and still watch the shows and want the magazines you really get made fun of. It takes all my strength not to buy the new Martha Wedding mags now that I really don't need them. I just want to see one more real wedding story on those shiny pages with the 7,000 pages of wedding dress ads......

Lovin' the increase in Seattle creepers!!!!!! Welcome!

Happy DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I definitely need one with my dress - it has pick ups on it and doesn't have any crinoline or anything underneath - but I am not sure if I need to go to the bridal store to try it on or just buy one?? HELP! First - way to go on the not starting a new thread plan!!! Second - I bought my Spanx at Nordies and tried it on with my dress at my first fitting. It probably saved me $$ because I didn't have to have the body portion taken in. I don't know if you have to do it that way, but it worked for me!

We just handed them out as we saw people. We brought the last of them to our welcome dinner so everyone had them before the wedding.

I get the same thing - red and splotchy. Plus I sweat like a big ol' hog. No wonder I never got hit on at a gym in my single days.

We had 54 and it was half and half.

I remember those rainy LA days. I'd get stuck at home because PCH would be covered in mud and boulders. What's even weirder that LA residents driving reaction to rain is Seattle residents reaction. They freak out like LA peeps do...but it rains here ALL WINTER!!! How are they not used to it? It drives me f'n crazy!

Where are you going Christa?

Dear self, Stop stressing about this trial tomorrow. Sure it's important, but it's probably not even going to happen tomorrow so dial down the stress/nerves by 99%. You will be fine and the crap bag will be convicted. Also, please pick the winning lottery numbers so you can retire.

I totally forgot to do this one!! Glad it was bumped! Would do again: - DW. It was such a fun wedding and everyone had a blast. - All-inclusive. We stayed up pretty much every night until at least 1, if not 4 am, drinking and hanging out with friends. If we weren't at an AI, not everyone could have afforded to do that. It was a great equalizer. - Dress. I f'n loved my dress and it was so worth the major $$$$. - Shoes. I heart my Christian Leboutains. And I love more that they are RED! - DJ. Ricardo was great. There were a few minor issues, but he kept everyone dancing! - Video. Now that we have our final video I'm so glad we did it. The ceremony felt like it was 4 minutes long to us at the time so it was nice to actually see what happened. Also, it's nice to see how happy we both were. I knew I felt happy - but it really showed! - Photos. We don't have our Juan pics but I loved working with him. - Guest gifts. From the OOT bags, to the luggage tags, to the flip flops - I'm glad we did it all. Our guests really appreciated it. - Maye. She is a great WC. She's like having a mom there who is only worried about making the wedding perfect. - Legal wedding in MX. It was so easy and well worth it. I knew I would feel weird knowing that day wasn't the real legal wedding if we didn't and I'm so glad we did. There wasn't much extra to do at all. Plus, it was fun getting the fingerprint pics!! Would not do: - I wish I would have had my BM's spend the night with me or get their hair/makeup done with me. I loved my alone time, but it would have been nice to do that with others. - I wouldn't have done Dreams spa for nails. Even though it was cheap and they looked fine, I would have done the Suzanne Morel spa deal.

The mold was $18 and each one cost $12. Totally worth it in my opinion. We actually brought one back home with us we liked them so much. We brought down the coral, the red votives, and the table numbers and their holders.

Whoooo hoooo!!! I'm so glad you found it! You look amazing!

I sprinkle ground flax on stuff when I can - usually my oatmeal/yogurt in the morning.

I finally got some good pics of mine so I wanted to share. Hope they help!

I used Suzanne Morel salon as well - but only saw Suzanne during my trial when she checked in to make sure everything was going ok. Pauline was there, but a different girl did my hair and makeup and she was AWESOME! She didn't speak any English but we never had trouble because there was always someone there who spoke English. I guess I figured it was like my home salon - it's called Marco's, but Marco doesn't cut my hair.

We gave our WCs each a $100 Suzanne Morel gift certificate. We also gave Maye some liquid ginko baloba bc she mentioned how she can't get it in MX while we were on our site visit.

We took the stuffing out of the donkeys and are having them framed all flattened out. We also did the postcard thing at our welcome dinner.

That is PERFECT with your dress!!!

We had fiesta donkeys - fun for all!! But beware, if your friends are like mine they will end up in positions like this...

I want to nominate Glenda bc I'm excited she's back.
