My mom found these dresses at TJ Maxx the other night for $15. They have the exact colors of my wedding and had enough for all my flower girls-how exciting, I guess you neveer know where you can find wedding stuff.

welcome to the forum

glenda we still haven't seen your ring

welcome to the forum!!!

Glenda-can you please invite me to one of those crazy weddings, I just want to see that they acutally exsist...I am only a short train ride away...I always knew NYC girls were crazy, but WOW!!!

I think the big thing about a DW for me was spending as much time as I could with my friends and family (I only changed my destination to a closer local, because a lot of those really important people couldn't come) so we are having the best of both worlds, a traditional near home wedding at a great location, so we get to spend four days with all of our favorite people. Since we live so far away this is a great chance for us to do something cool for them also.

okay if you have an in with a Tiffany's person you totally have to go with this theme, its like bringing a little of New York with you-since Tiffany's is a NYC landmark, at least it's a landmark for me, ahhh 7 stories of pure beauty!!!

just in case Jonathon doesn't work out. This is a friend from high schools wife-anyway they just moved to Texas and he is in law school, so I am sure she has a lot of free time. Kendall Price Photography

I am down 5.8 lbs total. I am not counting the weight on my home scale, because it is so different than the WW scale, (mine shows less) I assume this is because I step on my scale in the morning with no clothes on. So I am going to go with what they tell me during my tuesday meeting. Sarah and Sarah-you two are working out a lot so you are definately losing but because you are building muscle the scale might not say so.

YEAH Jessalyn-you have a siggy pic, see the whole world opens up when you get to post pics!!! Yeah I am so excited.

Amy, mine were in jpeg format, just like a picture would be sent through an e-mail is how creative montage sent them to me. I guess once you make it in power point, you could paste it into paint then make it a jpeg?

I paid to have them done - don't have time to glue 100 invites! Plus you can request two free samples in the mail, and get a free picture of your invite emailed to you for proofing before you're order is printed. Good Luck! Great site thanks Amy

okay I see it now, it's not huge...that looks really cute on you.

your image did not post correctly, when you copy from photo bucket you need to use the URL code. Try is again, we want to see your new tiara.

welcome-you will have to meet up with the chicago girls in February.

Welcome!!! The first step is deciding where to go. Think about what type of wedding you picture and what type of destination then you can narrow it down from there. Are most of your guests coming from the east coast also? That will help you narrow it down because of flight times and costs. Congrats on your engagement, if you have pictures of your ring make sure you post them, we love pictures.

congrats on selling the car Edyta.

welcome to the forum

Sarah-I love the red circle one, I think that will add that little touch of the red color you are trying to add.

saw this on the know for you pink and green ladies

here's another image of how they used the colors-

It wasn’t just the bright fountain in the pool, Mexican straw table toppers, a Tex-Mex menu, and nonstop music that made this a free-for-all bash. for those of you doing brightly colored fiesta themed weddings near pools-this might be a really cool idea to give your pool area a more festive feeling.
