Hi, Christine! Thanks for joining

Wow what an ordeal! You've been through a lot, physically and emotionally. I agree with anudrm, you don't have to necessarily postpone the marriage but maybe just your dream destination wedding. Or if you want to wait that's fine too but don't lose sight of the fact that you have a great man and that's what matters. The wedding will happen when it is supposed to. I hope the contract thing works out...there may be no getting out of that. Good luck!

Welcome, MarieSam! Thanks for joining our club. I've had the pleasure of hanging with both Tammy and MarieSam and they are both super chill and fun. Tammy is an awesome cook and MarieSam is an amazing photographer (I first met her back when she was just getting started!).

Good enough Tammy, you're in!

I'm Jamy and I've been a member of BDW since 2007 when there were only a few dozen members. The site has grown by leaps and bounds since then and I am happy to still be here as a member and moderator. I got married in 2007 at Las Caletas outside of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I live in Los Angeles with my husband and one year old son. There is so much to do, see and eat in Southern California and living in flip flops year-round is the icing on the cake. I'm looking forward to meeting my fellow SoCal members. Please, take a moment to introduce yourselves.

lol well that works for me

Sounds like a great day. Mine was a co-ed function because wasn't into the traditional bachelorette thing either. Glad you enjoyed it

Awesome game!! The whole series has been great. I'm also rooting for Texas for the same reason. Game 7 will be a nailbiter!

Beautiful!

Oooh thanks for the heads up! Are there any cast changes?

That's sweet

Cute! Why not?

I think it came about because brides tend to wear the dress then never touch it again, so a TTD is a fun way to get another use out of it. Unless you plan to gift or re-sell your dress it may be something you decide to do.

Ugggh. I had a MOH but she was a good one so I can't complain. I didn't have to un-ask anyone but I wouldn't be opposed if someone was causing too much grief. What bothers me most about your situation is that she is making way too big of a deal over things! I guess she more caught up on tradition and what is "supposed" to happen than her friendship with you. So what you bought your dress with your daughter? Things happen. How dare she be mad at you. And she's been mad at you before for things? She sounds like a lot of work and you don't need that right now. I'd ask her to step down, saying you've decided to only have you and your fiance up there. She may be mad but it won't be the first time. Better to anger her now than during the wedding like Ann said. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum! Enjoy yourself, there is a lot of information here.

Okay all cultural differences aside you have to know that saying "finally" there is another nice dress means you are saying there have been a series of dresses that aren't nice. Again, not okay. You do not have to like all dresses (none of us like all dresses) but please please please do not put others down either bluntly or on the sly. It is totally okay to praise a dress you like but framing it in disrespect is not okay. Please stop being an irritant and contribute positively like the other posters here.

Awesome! Love love love your barefoot sandals. Enjoy the long engagement.

Super cute!

Gorgeous! I love the one in front of the building with the menu on the wall.

Prettypigpig I understand the point you are trying to make - sizes have changed - but the in denial/delusional/fat thing is not okay. This is a supportive and respectful community, please choose your words more carefully.

Awesome!

celticgirl (and everyone else) how's it going?
