I vote for the khaki. Same reason as most of the others - I think it looks much more "beachy"!

Just wanted to say welcome and congrats!!!

Going to go run during lunch, since its nice out today....Have 2 days left to exercise before I leave..... Wow, are you so excited!? Keep up the great work, it will pay off!

Wow Heidi, that is impressive - go girl! Natalie, great job too! Martin's at the gym right now but I had to hang back today cause I'm still not feeling so well with the headaches/dizziness. I can't wait to figure out what is causing this so I can get back on track!! We are going to try and go play a game of tennis when he gets home though.

Have a blast Tammy! Try not to miss your babies too much so that you can focus on your amazing wedding!

I could not stand Lawrence OMG I would leave a room if he entered. i thought he was so arrogant that it was sickning. Him and my boyfriend at the time were sitting around doing the college drinking and my boyfriend at the time asked lawrence if he thought I was sexy and lawrence said yea I would do her in a heart beat. Long story short my boyfriend forebade me to speak to Lawrence or even be alone with him. So being the bitch that I am I had to find out what was going on so I talk to lawrence. WE became friends and that was it. Lawrence left school to marry his first love (which was shorter than the relationship) and a true friendship developed. They separated I took him away to feel better and a friendship developed into a pseudo relationship. We had a daughter in 1999 who was his world. She past of SIDS and he couldnt deal so we separated but still remained friends. We both decided that we wanted a child in 2001 and 2002 our son was born. Neither wanted to get married for the sake of our son but remained friends. and the rest is history. On his birthday I gave him the altimatum of we are either going to be together and work towards being husband and wife or I am just going to be your baby momma and here we are today, So sorry to hear about your baby girl. I'm glad that you guys seem to be moving forward though. It sounds like you love each other and it's cool that you've been friends for so long! I'm sure you're probably sick of hearing "when the time is right..." so I'll just post a dancing elephant for you instead.

I don't know, but I just saw your name and wanted to say hi because I also live in Dallas and am planning an '09 wedding.

Oh no - poor girl! That makes me nervous about planning our wedding. We are estimating around 10k, not including rings or dress. Maybe 15k w/outside photographer. Hoping for less but trying to think realistically and hoping we don't have our heads in the sand!

I disagree - I would definitely keep the beer because we all know guys love beer and a lot of them won't drink anything else. That's my experience anyways...

Welcome! There is so much great info on here, you'll love it!

If this excites you - go for it! I was kind of the same way in imagining my own wedding. The classic church/reception scene just didn't quite do it for me. Then I remembered that my Dad (on his 3rd marriage, lol) had gotten married in PV when I was about 12. It was SO MUCH FUN! There were around 50 of us that went down there, and everyone had a blast. It was a great experience. My sister also did a wedding away from home in Aspen, CO. That was a lot of fun too. I love the excitement of something different. Yes, we have already been called "selfish" by Martin's older bro and told by his Mom that "Grandma won't agree w/this" but we know in our hearts that we want to do this. It's a very special dream for us and I think the people that really care the most about us and visa versa will be there (even after all the things they might say along the way). Haha, I really need to remember this post - I think it's good advice that I need to remember myself!

I think it would be acceptable. However, if you can splurge a little I'd have a couple other options like maybe have a vodka and rum option or something like that.

LOL The Southshore Centre is just on the bay here where I live in Barrie. Here are some pictures of it! Inside Outside (view from the water) I am really excited to have the wedding here. Now I just have to think of some afternoon ideas instead of evening!! Oooh, that is beautiful! I love the view from the inside. Somehow I must've missed this in another thread... You're going to have a beautiful wedding!

Tara, I like the flowers a LOT but I think the palm tree is more fitting for your location.

I think I worked my butt out too hard yesterday - it is SORE this morning! lol Oh, and yes dancing the night away in Vegas totally counts! I used to go out dancing every weekend. It burned a ton of calories. Even w/drinking. Once I stopped dancing my weight started climbing.

I finally got back to working out today, yay! Today was the first day since all these headaches and stuff that I've been able to.
