beautiful pictures - you made a GORGEOUS bride!

and that doesn't count all of the weight lost by those that dropped out or were DQd!

I'd suggest going to Sarah's website to see samples of her work. Or send her a PM/Email - I don't know how often she's checking this thread!

I bet I could talk her into a "BDW Discount" if anyone is in the area and interested. I have some pull ... I am the mother to her only granddaughter (is there 2 'd's in that? it looks off)! lol thanks for all of the comments, girls!

ahhh yes, the buddy sign-up is earlier so Alyssa has time to pair up all of the buddies!

OMG, it was the best gift ever. And when she visits, she always brings food with her. She's coming in for Gwen's 1st birthday party ... and guess who is catering the party! lol (she doesn't quite know it yet!)

I've been meaning to post something about my mom's company for a while, but just hadn't got around to it until now. The main reason I wanted to post on this site is because she's just expanded her meal prep. business into catering. And actually, she has been focusing a lot more on the catering lately. She kind of fell into it; a few of her regular customers loved her food so much that they asked if she'd cater some events for them. and it really just took off from there. She's now partnered with a banquet hall that is just opening to do all of their weddings and receptions. If you're looking for a caterer for your wedding, AHR (at-home reception), family reunion, birthday party, office meeting, or any event really she is a great option. I don't think she realizes that the quality of her food and service could really demand more money! Honestly, you have no idea how much I wish she lived closer - I'd eat so much better than I do now! Anyway, I wanted to share in case anyone in the Phoenix, Mesa, or East Valley, Arizona area was looking for a caterer, or a meal preparation company. I know I am baised, but I've always told her she should open a restaurant - and now she's done this - finally! Her website: Classic Cuisine, Inc. If you have any questions or want more information, just let me know.

ok, we're up to 12 marked as paid, a few more w/payments "in process" and about 12 more that had expressed interest!

There are 11 people signed up and paid. If everyone that expressed interest in this thread or in a PM to me signs up, we will have 25 people (yes, I went back and counted!). I also just sent a PM to those of you that said you were "in" but haven't yet signed up.

Got it!!!!

I remember when this worked really well for those couple of seasons you did the buddy thing, Alyssa. Way to bring it back!
