I know this isn't normal.... hence why I need to see the doc ASAP. It may be stress, I got AF 2 weeks early too. Shelley - I've had a sinus infection before and it was the worst pain I've ever been in. I'm hoping this isn't another one, that would be hell. But now that you bring that possibility up I've been very congested just in the morning. HMMM.... ** I can't do the multi- quote button, I don't know why. Maybe it doens't work in mac? Such a PITA**

Oh wow gorgeous dresses both of them... either way i say what a tough choice. sorry I'm not much of a helper

Know what? My migrain is STILL here, it's like off and on now... whenever the codeine wears off it magically comes back Can't wait for the doctor apointment.... I'm going to have to check out that excedrin migraine stuff, thanks Shelley and Cmmdee. I'm willing to try anything and I only got 2 T3's left!

YAY!!! That's great. I know photographer was a priority on my list and sometimes it was stressful. It took me forever to decide. Go with your gut and if you don't like her or him, wait, the right one will come in time. I promise. Mine did!

I love suprises! Thanks for the warning Tammy.

You big tease! I was so excited to open this thread.... only to be disapointed lol

I got it online for $340 including taxes and shipping costs =)

sorry.. no pics LOL I know that's a huge "no-no" but I didn't bring my camera with me this morning to the alterations lady and now she has it.

I just wanted to give a heads up to any girls planning on getting their dress online. I had tried on my dress in a bridal store but I wanted to shop around to see if I could get a better deal on it.... there are lots of sites I found but it was hard for me trying to trust an online company. I had read some good reviews on bestbridalprices.com and they had my dress for a fraction of the price i would have paid at the store. So I went against my gut instinct and ordered it. 4 months later it has come in the mail. UPS delivered it last night and it's a gorgeous authentic maggie sottero gown. I couldn't be happier, it fits perfectly and I only need to get a hem on it and a bustle. Just wanted to let anyone else who is curious about purchasing their gown online that this is a legit business

OMG I have a funny story about this.... so last night UPS delivered my dress and of course first thing I do is go to try it on. Well it fit like a glove.... it's kind of a mermaid style dress so very fitting. I put my veil on and did a happy dance. I know I'm a dork but I'm fine with it. So when it came ot taking it off I was having problems. First I was getting all clamy and sweaty which did not help the process. Second I got it over my head and then got stuck, I started hyperventalating and FREAKING OUT. No one was home but FH! I didn't know what to do so I started moving and shaking in hoped to get it off. But nope no luck.... finally something gave and the dress came off. I was about 10 seconds off of calling FH though who would have seen the dress. geeze so close! I learned my lesson and I will NOT be trying it on again without help. LOL

Yay Ann! Have a great time! You certainly have had some good trips this year - PV Mexico, Hawaii, now Cyprus! Lucky girl!!! We'll miss you!

I think it really depends on the bridal store. I had one who told me 10 months as well. I ended up ordering it online for more than half the price (same dress) and it came in 4 months!

What great idea! I love this - I'll have to look into it some more. I'll let you know what I find...

I'm pretty sure this is the site one of my gf's uses and it's always great stuff and looks awesome! I'll double check with her but I'm 99% positive it was eve something....

Aww you 2 (Maria and paula) are too cute! It was a hard decision deciding who got the vote.. i wish I had 2 so i could vote 2 times

Thanks Tara for the quote, I really lke that one! Thanks Amy! I think I even posted on that thread. ahh I'm such a dork!

We went last time I was down there... it's a whole different kind of experience. I have no idea why I agreed to even go... I found it to be horrible. I can't even explain how bad it was. There was lots of cheering and partying going on but all I could focus on was the poor lil bull. Ahhh it brings back icky memories. We ended up leavig because of my whining. So if it's an al guys event I say go for it. I wouldn't go though.

wow, well that's not a bad price at all!
