Christine

we got married the day after our 4 year dating anniversary.

yahoo Jessalyn, Tammy can you scan the article for us?

Abbie I love the keychain idea, we did wine bottle stoppers (mainly because I also wanted something useful and we got married in the wine country) and most of my family members use theirs all the time.

congrats on winning, can't wait to see the pics.

oh how fun, that is such a great idea. I don't think you look funny with your hair straight.

Karen, I think most of the hotels let you have a private dinner on the beach, they set up these little canopies and have a candle lit path, I saw people do it every night we were there (we stayed at Couples) and it was so beautiful. Also I am sure someone else mentioned it but don't forget to go to Dunn's River Falls, its so cool to climb a waterfall.

I had a fairly long train but either way you don't want to be carrying your skirt the whole day, the bustle just makes walking around much easier, beautiful dress by the way!

I think that's Angelina, try dafont.com

There are no milk or bread or eggs left. Apparently the key to survival is French toast! I want to go play in it! FI and I might make a snow man. If we do, I'll post pictures! that is me cracking up at your french toast comment-of course its the only way to survive the snow, people in DC are the same way they do not handle snow very well, even though it snows every year. We just got rain for this storm though, and so so much wind.

I don't really want to drive it alone so if Shelley is in I will mark my calendar for it. Are you all willing to make it a lunch?

So where exactly is Cherry Hill? I am trying to figure out how far away this actually is for me?

I wish I had more answers for you, most of my students go to NC but I will ask some of my more trusted students what they would suggest.

hey if you girls do afternoon, maybe I can pick Shelley up on the way and we can go? Totally not for sure, but a thought. I think its only a 3-4 hour drive.

Have a beautiful perfect wedding and hurry back with pictures!

oh and also, the summer months are the most expensive in coastal carolina, late September/early October is really pretty. And as far as I have seen most back up to public beaches so in the summer time you could imagine how many "guests" you would have. I think this is a great alternative but maybe not in June.

be careful about where you pick because june is beach week for all the high school kids on the east coast. As soon as they get out of school they head down to the carolina's for beach week, 20 kids per house and from what their parents tell me its not tame whatsoever (sorry high school teacher-I know too much about my seniors lives)

we've gotten the bottom end of all your storms this winter, very little snow, but tons of rain with this one and the last few were all ice. I cannot imagine if all this rain was snow, I wouldn't leave the house.

they should all be refilled now, let me know if all this gift giving sold out the store again!

I don't have any of the charms but I have all the materials to make your own wine charms if you want any of that?

it was a great place, the idea behind it is wonderful. The staff left much to be desired but since I was their first wedding hopefully they have fixed that since.

glad they are fixing the problem but she handled it poorly.

why won't you like them? Are they wrong...I would be calling her first thing this morning to find out what her plan is.

we went over the summer and it was free, we had to pay when we went with our group after the wedding but we got a private tour of the back where they make the wine (and they poured some straight from the big metal fermentting tanks for us, it was so cool)

I was told at an Old Navy recently that they are trying to redo their lines and going to up their prices in hopes that it will help. They are going for more of a holister kind of look (basically Abercrombie, but not that expensive).

Ubiquitous 20th Century Brands That Will Disappear - AOL Money & Finance Old Navy Old Navy is one of Gap's three brands and it is the one that is pulling down overall sales at the big clothing company. Old Navy has a little over one thousand outlets. Maintaining the costs of separate buying, marketing, and management costs just isn't worth it. Soon, Old Navy locations may just become Gap stores. Countrywide Countrywide had an operation on almost every street corner, or so it seemed. The mortgage bank would give almost anyone a home loan.They were not so generous when foreclosure time came around. Bank of America is buying Countrywide. The CFC brand has so much negative baggage and such a poor image that BAC will be smart and quickly put its name on all of the Countrywide branches. XM Satellite Radio XM Satellite Radio will disappear either in a merger with Sirius, where the acquiring company will use its brand for both services or because without a merger, XM may not make it. The company has over $1.2 billion in long-term debt. The XM brand could begin to disappear a few months after the potential marriage is complete. E*Trade E*Trade has survived in a discount brokerage business where a number of famous brands, like Quick & Reilly, have gone away because of mergers. For the time being, management at the company says it does not want to sell out, but the firm's $12 billion in home equity loan exposure may make staying independent impossible. K-Mart K-Mart is one of the two big brands at Sears Holdings, Eddie Lampert's failing retail play. Based on same store sales for last year, K-Mart is the less successful of the two retail operations. Spending to promote K-Mart and Sears may cost more that the holding company can afford. It certainly makes sense to kill off the K-Mart name and re-label all of the stores with Sears. Dodge Dodge is part of the Chrysler company which was recently bought out by private equity firm Cerberus. Chrysler management has already said that the company has too many brands and too many dealers. Dodge vehicles will probably be re-branded as Chrysler and Dodge will go the way of the Dodo. Circuit City Circuit City has been synonymous with electronics retail, but companies like Best Buy and Wal-Mart have brought too much marketing muscle and wholesale buying power to the industry. Outside investors are already circling Circuit City trying to "improve shareholder value". That means the chain will probably be sold. Gateway Gateway was recently bought by Taiwan PC firm Acer. Some investors may not remember when Gateway was considered a peer of both Dell and Compaq. In 1993, Gateway was in the Fortune 500. Acer will not keep the Gateway brand and its own. The dual promotion costs are too high. Starting soon you will be buying an Acer PC online or at your electronics retailer. Vonage Vonage almost invented VoIP. It certainly made it popular. Then cable companies began to market the service to existing customers and much of the "first mover" advantage Vonage had went away. One of the large cable companies is likely to take over the Vonage customer list and let the brand disappear. Yahoo! Yahoo! is still trying to keep itself out of the hands of Microsoft, but with a $31 offer and no other bidders even close, Redmond is going to take over. Microsoft is not generous about letting other brands have the limelight. Yahoo!'s brand will last while the e-mail and instant message operations are integrated, but soon enough it will all be MSN. Motorola Motorola is still likely to sell its large handset unit to someone. It simply loses too much money and it is dragging the company under, As Motorola's stock price drops, the amount it will take for its handset operation will drop. That Motorola phone is likely to be called an LG handset sometime next year.
