don't worry about the sizes, my dress was two sizes bigger than my own clothing size and I just decided that if any person asked me what size my dress was they would immediately be asked to leave my wedding, so honestly who cares what size it is, just focus on what makes you feel beautiful and amazing. That's what is important. Try again after holidays, this is a hard time for shopping in general.

Happy Birthday I hope you have a great day!

Kate, so happy for you I hope your days was amazing and beautiful! Can't wait to see pictures.

really that is so cool Jamy, I love Photostamps I think its so neat to have personalized stamps, although they are really big, I wish they were a little smaller, they take up a lot of those small thank you cards.

Hey Ladies, I did photo stamps and my guests loved them and loved how I used my monogram throughout it really made everything fit together. I wish I would have known this when I ordered them but you can get up to 20% off through costco's photo center if you have a costco card. You gotta love Costco!!!

that is beautiful! Reminds me of mine a little so I am biased. My alterations person told me that the lace can be really expensive to shorten, so what she did on the lace part was to pinch it up and it totally worked.

very cute, your guests will love them.

wow Jen, how did you have all of that? You know I never thought of that with Dylan, but that makes a lot of sense.

I think it would mean a lot to have a friend officiate, we had some friends do some of the vendor jobs at our wedding (best friend made the cake and another friend was the DJ) and it make it really special and wonderful to have people who have a vested interest in your marriage working being a part of the day.

Heidi, I live 3000 miles away from all my bm's so we combined my bach party and bridal shower and just had a girls day. We went wine tasting, a nice dinner out and then a slumber party. We had it the last weekend in March, I had it super early just because it was spring break and a few of them are still in school and it was easier for me to travel that week. I also did a site visit that week.

May is too far away

ttc is trying to conceive

La Jolla is beautiful and of course Pacific Beach is a very fun area to go to. I went to college in San Diego and my mom lives there so I am there all the time. let me know if you have any other questions about stuff to do there.

what vinyard were you at? Wilson Creek is my favorite, we go there all the time. I had my bachelorette party in Temecula, I love that area, and the wine is awesome.

what pretty pictures, knowing J Crew they will have most of the same dress styles they had last year.

oh I want more!

my sister tried them all (well except for sex) but Jackson seemed to want to come on his own time. I am going to fight to not go past my EDD because I was such a big child and Will was pretty big too, plus he's such a big man anyway, I think I will be better off if I dont go over due. If my placenta doesn't move I will have to have a c-section

try an arts and crafts store for the colored sand, they always have stuff like that there. have fun and enjoy the warm weather.

Ann that is quick, my mom was in labor for more than a day. I have no faith that this will be quick for me, actually I think I will wind up with a c-section

oh I am sure I will be on the forum during labor, my hospital has wireless internet in all the rooms.

I try to look every couple of weeks, I think we need to do some beach shots with the baby next summer, we should be out your way in August.

can't wait to see some new pics on the blog.

Hmm I love Elf, Miracle on 34th Street (the newer one), National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Family Stone (even though its sad, it reminds me of our last few holidays with my aunt) The new Grinch movie is pretty cute too.

honestly I think you are asking him to come and marry you so yes you need to somehow pay for him, think about it this way, pastors do not make a ton of money. I know my pastor came to our wedding and our rehearsal (over an hour drive for him) and we didn't pay for lodging or anything because he just drove home, but we made a donation to his church for his services.
