very nice

Welcome Alyssa, goodbye MrsB2008! I changed mine awhile ago to my first name too and it is weird at first.

I tied man with tan rafia ribbon. I just sort of carefully threaded the ribbon through the weaving of the fan.

Christine that stinks. What a PITA, I hate car stuff. I'm sure DH understands the ups and downs of hormones and pregnancy by now, I wouldnt worry about that to much lol. Shoot, I never cry and than a couple of times a year I'll just lose it and sob like a baby uncontrollably and I'm not even pregnant! Its called being a woman, we are all crazy!

That sucks, but we were planning on handing ours out anyways. I'm such a control freak that I would probably worry the entire day that someone didnt end up gettting theres or random strangers were getting them. Yup I'm a weirdo.

you look beautiful, congratulations!

Love it Love it Love it. You look beautifull:)

Amy that looks really pretty, good find!

I am putting ours on 1. programs 2. lumineers 3. Menu

thanks girls your right. I am going to make that my next project. I have actually used the fabric glue stuff for my gym pants and I think that would work fine. I'll be on the hunt for fabric after I finish my current project. Thanks again

I could walk you through it. As for the bamboo table runners....I think they are nice, but will they fancy enough with the rest of your decor? It's hard for me to picture them. Jessalyn, I absolutly loved your table runners, I have a picture of them saved in my word documents. Your table was gorgeous. Do you really think it would be easy enough? Do I need a sewing machine? That would be really wonderful if you could help. I wouldnt even know how much fabric to buy.

Ann your nuts, I walk into a fabric store and am automatically confused and out of place. I'm so bad at that stuff lol. But thank you for thinking I would be able to do such a martha stewart sort of thing. hahahahaha

A quick rundown. My colors are Dark Blue and Bright Pink I am having dark blue chair ties at the reception table I am having one long table on the table will be; tall hurricanes w/ candle Picture frame lumineers small vases of bright pink flowers What I need but absolutly cant find and Mariana our w/c doesnt have is dark blue table runners, and the more I think about it, even If I could find them the chance of me matching the color of the runner to the chair ties is not good. So finally my question. What do you think about bamboo table runners? They are pretty cheap and are a nuetral color. Here is a picture of one from orientaltradingcompany.com Try and picture it without the weird yellow table cloth underneath. What do you think? Yes or No?

I have this weird feeling that I will probably spend more time here after the wedding than before, kind of strange signing up for a wedding forum and being excited to finally have all the wedding crap over with so that I can spend more time with my friends online Quote: Originally Posted by Jessalyn I almost ordered it about a year ago and then started doing the bar method body videos, since I heard it was the same kind of concept as fluidity. I am just horrible at actually doing excercise. Thanks for posting your thoughts on it...it looked really cool. I think any form of exercise using your own body weight as opposed to free weights or machines is better, for my body type anyways. Quote: Originally Posted by Leia78 I have fluidity too! I totally saw a difference in my butt and thighs just after 2 weeks! I haven't done it in awhile though! It's a great buy! Oh good, I'm glad someone else out there has it too. I really do love it, I cant wait to actually see the results, I'm definitly feeling a little tighter but not seeing it yet. Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride I never heard of this, it sounds cool. I'm def going to check out the site. ~BTW Leia I love your siggy, it looks great! Quote: Originally Posted by foxytv Thanks. I hadn't heard of this before! definitly check it out, I really like it anyway.

Hey girls, I ordered Fluidity and I love it. It is a cross between yoga and pilatees and strength training using your own body weight. The thing cost me 200 something, it comes with 3 dvd's and the fluidity machine, a ball and a couple bands. I am still hitting the gym a couple days a week for some cardio, but I no longer do weights there. My body is short and stocky. I have a very athletic build and have been lifting weights for years but I bulk up really easily and quickly. The fluidity system helps you to strength train using your own body weight so for someone with my build its perfect. After using it I really do feel longer and leaner and I have definitly noticed my posture improving. Just wanted to let you all know what I think of it, incase anyone saw the infomercial for it and was wondering about it. there is a website, I think it is fluidity.com

Before my email two weeks ago, I hadn't emailed Mariana for months, so I didn't know her email address changed. Is this the email address you're sending to: [email protected] UM NO! When the heck did that happen. Well theres my problem. Oh good I feel a lot better now, I was starting to worry that she was ignoring me or something. Thanks.

congrats, theres no better feeling than actually seeing the results from all your hard work

I think she must be really busy, because I asked a lot of questions, but she didn't really answer them (as she's usually SO good about answering everything plus some!). Maybe for some reason your emails aren't going through?? I'd try from another account... just in case! Thanks girls,I think I'm going to create a new e-mail account today. Shes usually so good at responding and answering questions she must be swamped right now with weddings.

i'm walking myself down. I'm totally nervous, not to be alone but seriously I'm clumsy and I just feel like if someone was walking beside me I would be less likely to fall.

Are any of you girls having trouble getting a hold of Mariana. Usually shes really great at replying. At first I assumed she was having a busy week or maybe on vacation but I've e-mailled her 3 times now in the past 3 weeks and no response?

your pictures are great! Congrats you both look stunning.

You must be, I'm 4 months out and freaking out. Let us know if you need anything
