Joe and I met with our awesome photographer, Stephany of EyeSpy Photography, on Saturday morning and did our long awaited engagement pictures!! We were both totally nervous, we're not PDA people at all but Stephany made us feel totally comfortable and we had a lot of fun doing the pictures! Here's the link to her blog and some pictures! eyespy photography Blog Archive Tara and Joe: engagement Thanks to everyone who helped me pick my outfits

No matter what you decide - you guys are going to have a blast!!! I agree. The mai tai is great, but I bet people won't be guzzling them down the entire night. I'd be so sick to my stomach!

also, for the wine are they only charging you for what you open? or do you have to order a certain # of bottles?

Ok how about beer and your specality drink all the time, and then do a wine service just for dinner? skip the champagne, IMO. waste of money can you limit the specality drinks? once you consume, say 5 gallons, that's it? i've been to PLENTY of weddings where the hard liquor stops at a certain point and only the beer continues.

I was supposed to have my first dress fitting tonight too. But my dress was held up in Canada, so now I'm getting my dress today. I AM SO EXCITED to see it. but also nervous that it won't fit. i will obviously be trying it on tonight!!!!! weird about you M&Ms. My mom ordered some for us and she said they turned out so cute. I'm still not sure how i'm going to get them to mexico though

I think picking a white and red is a great choice and an easy way to limit your bar costs. IMO when I pick wines for an event I always pick a Merlot and a Pino Grigio. You'll please almost everyone with those types of wines.

thank you all so much for your input!!!!!

FI thinks i'm nuts I'm wearing two different shoes, sandal and shoe just so i could see the difference, which is why i'm standing so f'ed up. one has a higher heel

couple more options (and yes, i'm one of those people that buys one shirt in a few colors!)

morgan you're so right about that picture and the white versus pink shirt. i might go try on some new shirts and post pictures in a sec. yeah, she's our wedding photog too! and she's doing out TTD. i'm so excited for her, she's way cool!

i just saw this post in response RE:Nashville cocker spaniel -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: [email protected] [?] Date: 2008-08-27, 10:04PM EDT This is true and the person has been turned in and animal control has the dog it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests PostingID: 816051244

this breaks my heart, i can't believe people do this.

i'm so glad you girls are getting these cups!! i'm still in love with them. you better post pictures!!!!

eyespy photography that's her blog. i understand what you mean about white though. but i would hope she can do white! my dress is white

i voted for #2, i LOVE it. i like the 1st one, but definitely not nearly as much as i like the second one. and i love the color of the second dress as well! it could actually be a BM dress that they wear again! always a plus!

oh this is a close poll!! i voted for pronovias. i love how it looks on you! i'm not a fan of the 1st one... too frilly for my tastes. but that's just me! IMO the pronovias is more of a timeless dress.

thanks for all of your opinions! so the black shirt is definitely in, along with the dark jeans and the heels. and maybe the purple shirt too. what do you think about the white shirt? that's the one my mom likes the best
