I agree, a DW is what you want it to be, you shouldn't feel obligated to add anything you don't want to (although you shouldn't feel that way for any wedding either!!).

Wow, what a great opportunity!! I'm with you Jill, maybe I can plan two weddings!!!

LOL that's hilarious!!!!

That's hilarious... and kind of sad!! LOL

Ooh, I forgot about this... I wonder if Adam has any idea: Quote: Autism United, a national autism group, is demanding an apology from CBS over controversial remarks made by HouseGuest Adam Jasinski.[36] During the Wednesday episode, Adam stated he worked for an autism foundation and would spend his winnings on a hair salon for people with developmental disabilities "so retards can get it together and get their hair done." His partner in the house, Sheila, told him not to "call them that," to which he said he "can call them whatever I want" because he "work with them all day."[37][38] In a letter obtained by TMZ from John Gilmore, Executive Director of Autism United to Sumner Redstone, Chairman of CBS Corporation, Gilmore demanded action be taken after the Wednesday episode. Gilmore claimed that the network chose to air the segment for "their own personal goals." The organization also called for the show to be cancelled and the organization has contacted advertisers over the issue.[39] Due to the controversy, Lowe's has decided not to advertise during future Big Brother episodes, but it was unclear whether or not they were currently advertising during the program. Autism United has also contacted other advertisers, such as Campbell's Soup, Claritin, Geico, McDonald's and Taco Bell.[40] Autism United and various parents in South Florida are calling for an investigation into Adam Jasinski and the United Autism Foundation. The organization claims to be a 501 c3 charity (deductions made to the organization would be considered tax deductible under current IRS regulations.)[41] The website for United Autism Foundation has an apology regarding Adam's behavior and states he will no longer be working for the company.[42] Big Brother 9 (U.S.) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your Wedding Webpage - The Knot Holy crap Jessica, where do you find stuff like this?! That's craziness! I wasn't Jen's biggest fan, but wow some people are just crazy in the guestbook! Weird that only 3 people from before BB9 signed the guestbook. I just did a quick search and it looks like Jen never got married to Chad. Anything that I can find just mentioned "Jen's previous engagement". Also, Ryan's last name is Quicksall

Very cool, I like them! I think those "Just Married" ones are too cute!

Aww, your baby bean is beautiful already!! I'm so happy for you Martha, congratulations again!! It must be hard for your FI to be so far away for all of this. How'd he react when you sent him this? (I'm assuming you did send it!)

I really like the first one, so that's what I voted for. But if you're not too concerned about it, then go ahead and let your BMs pick... it's just one less thing you have to worry about!!

I bought my dress in diamond white. I thought it'd be WAAAAY more ivory than it is. To me, it looks stark white. They tried to show me the difference and I couldn't really tell. Diamond white apparently is just a very little, tiny bitt less white than the White dresses. It's white, not ivory! I don't think it'd look weird or bad, etc if your FH's shirt didn't quite match your dress! Stop stressin'!

Since your hair is naturally curly I don't think you have to worry about it losing curl and I think it's beautiful. But, I'm the minority on this one! I 100% agree!! I voted half-up!

Me neither Alyssa, they're going to be great! "Welcome" Jill and Lindsay!

Wow Brittney, those are hot!! I like the little black lace number with the pearls. BTW - props to you on the no nookie for 6 months!

Unless their single, one per couple... otherwise that's an easy way to go broke!

Quote: Originally Posted by BrittneyD I just had a thought....I wonder if I could bring these to Jamaica since they are real plants. Hmmm... Good point!!!

Very cool. I like them, I'd just be worried about getting them there - whether you ship them or put them in you luggage - they look quite fragile

Ok, my brain is fuzz right now... but there is a lyric search engine you can use (search "Lyric" or "song search engine" on google). You can search by specific words in songs.

Me too, Kate... mines at the salon where I have to make an appointment to see it. Somehow, the time has seriously flown by... trust me, it will for you too. The first few weeks though, I think I looked at my dress online everyday! Trust me, the next 4-5 months will go faster than you think!

Quote: Originally Posted by monicabrandon2008 The show just got better! I'm curious to see how Natalie will be now too without Matty. I'm SO curious to see who Adam will put up. He's been under the radar for a while now. HAHA Did you hear Dick say he wished Sheila would have been on their cast so he could hook up with her. When he makes an appearance on Tuesday I bet he flirts with Sheila LOL Maybe she will like him. Is Sheila single? I only hear her talk about her son. Ya, I think she's single. Sheila will TOTALLY influence Adam's nominations and that makes it difficult to predict since she's always changing her mind (she's seriously crazy!). I'm not reading spoilers, but I'll guess that Ryan and maybe Sharon go up? I'd like to see Joshua go up, since he'll flip out, but I can't see Adam having the balls to do that.

Hard to see in the pic.), with what looks like jade?? Then, my favorite part was even more special to me when I went to the website that was on the label, and I realized that Lisa herself had made it for me! On my gift idea list I had mentioned that I just ran out of my perfume (Pink Sugar, which I LOVE HEART LOVE) and Lisa MADE me a lotion and shower gel, as well as some cute little cupcake shaped bath-bomb thingies.. ALL in the Pink Sugar scent! Lisa, I don't know how or what you did to find that scent and make it into this gift for me, but I really love it! Thanks! BTW, your website is cool! I loved reading thru it! EDIT: OK per Lisa to post her website! Check it out! Home PS I finally came around with my pb edit issues, look what you can do! Round the corners! And so much more! PS2 To my secret bunny, I forgot to mention that I was guaranteed that your gift would arrive by or on Saturday, so even tho you STILL don't know who you are, I thought I'd update you! Wow Lisa, how cool!! I'm off to check out that website. Very thoughtful gift though, well done!!!

Yay, everything looks great so far... but I think you have more pics to post (eg... DRESS! I know you've posted it before, but come on, this is THE planning thread!!! )

Holy crap - you ladies are amazing. I just read this thread beginning to end. You're all doing so great!! Seriously, you guys should be so proud. On the show, they have trainers and people watching over them constantly... you all have to live with real life decisions and going out with friends, etc - it's not as easy! Keep up the great work!!!

Welcome to the forum Megan!!

I have to agree, but a big part of it is sites like myspace, they allow these teenagers/immature adults basically create their own porno site. It all goes back to these sites where people rate eachothers "hotness". wtf is that all about?!

Wow, the books turned out beautifully!!!! Sarah, you're work is amazing... not that any of us didn't expect this - because you've shown your pure talent before - but everytime I look at a project of yours, I'm blown away, yet again! Will you still remember us little people when you're rich and famous?!
