Hehe, too funny Reggie! Better keep your membership here a secret from the boys, can you just imagine the bitch slap you would get if any of them found out you joined a wedding forum

Welcome Reggie, well we know you are a man of taste since you are marrying Heidi. She is the best, we love her! You are sweet to sign on and get involved in something so important to Heidi, so you must also be the best! Looking forward to getting to know you. Kelly~

I didn't wear one, the bridal store gave me one when I bought my dress, but I completely forgot about it and didn't even think about it again. I wore as little as I could under my dress, so a garter would have felt uncomfortable in the heat.

The people on skyservice were really wonderful. It is the tiniest plane I have been on, absolutely no room and we had 3 bride on our flight. People wee really great about not putting anything on our dresses in the overhead, and the stewerd even offered to put it in the overhead for me. I rolled my wedding dress like a sleeping bad, really loosely, and then tied it. There were no wrinkles in it by the time I arrived at the hotel.

Thanks for my laugh of the day!

Happy Birthday Laura, hope it is fabulous!

I really like #1 it seems really professional, and appropriate for the location.

I know it was beautiful, can't wait for pictures. Congratulations hope you are having the best time ever.

Oh Lizz I hope you guys figure all this out and everything works out, not at all what you need especially with the house closing and all. Best of luck.

Everton would never give up football for anything, they had a football game on the beach before the wedding, so it would be a losing battle for me. He also most likely feels a responsibility to his team, flag football is not usually to rough so he will most likely be fine. We all worry about the people we love, but we have to keep living even after we get hurt. I will send positive thoughts your way to keep him safe:)

Sounds like my dress from my first marriage, minus the turtle neck, hehe, 1988, a very fashion forward year. Nope kept it a secret til I walked down the isle.

I love the first one, what a cool design, it is a showstopper!

Dear Dad~ Happy Birthday, I wish you were here so we could celebrate, I can't believe you have been gone for a year already, I miss you so much. I can't seem to get my act together life is just so damn lonely without you in it. The kids miss you so very much, Kenda misses her "how's my lil princess", moments with you, and Nicole is missing her book buddy. Timothy tries so hard to take care of his gramma, you would be proud, he cuts her grass takes out her garbage and calls her everyday. Liam well he is growing everyday and I fight to keep the memory of you alive. I thought I knew how much you did for all of us, but I guess I never really knew the extent. It is so much work taking care of Nicole without your help, juggling the kids and hospital visits, and therapy without grampa picking up the slack has been difficult. Your steady resolve that Nicole will get better has left me, I need to hear your reassuring voice that all will work out. I got married without you, it was hard, it was beautiful but you were really missed. Timothy is getting confrmed, he doesn't want to without his grampa by his side like all your other grandchilden had you, not sure how to handle this one. Our house is beautiful, thankyou for all your hard work you put in to it in the planning stages, I'm sorry you never got to see it. I'm sorry about many things, I am sorry that the cancer was missed because you were so wrapped up in what I needed from you in regards to Nicole. I'm sorry that when I noticed you were tired, I thought it was because you were taking care of my kids, plus driving to sick kids everyday to make sure I had dinner, and Nicole was doing okay. I am sorry that the last year of your life were spent worrying about us. I am sorry you cancelled your cruise with mom because you didn't want to leave us while Nicole was so sick, and I am sorry that mom is now on a cruise with a new man that she has met. I am sorry we didn't make it to Ireland, I will go one day in your memory, I promise. I am sorry that no longer believe in God, I know how important he was to you, and maybe then your death would be easier. I am sorry that I have not been the strong person you raised me to be lately, I keep trying but life just keeps pushing me down. I am sorry that I went to get coffee and you died without me by your side. Dad I would have made a birthday dinner for you, as I always did we would have sat around the table drinking red wine, talking politics(no one wants to do that with me) enjoying the friendship that I was lucky enough to have with you in adulthood. I don't fit in in our family anymore, I try, mom tries, Cathie tries, and Sean tries but we all know that it was you and I that were bound to each other and no one quite understands me. We will keep trying Dad because once we stop we will lose what you were all about, your family. I am heading to the cemetary in the morning, I hope I have yet to make it inside the gates, but I am going to give it a try, Liam baked cupcakes and wants to picnic, we'll see. Dad I love you, I miss you, Kelly~

I had a Jack and Jill thrown for me the first time I got married. My friends put it together and it was a surprise, they made enough money to send us on a mini honeymoon to Myrtle Beach. They had things like Roullette, 21, poker , 50/50 draws, and door prizes. There was a covercharge, cash bar, and a dance. My friends and family donated all the food, and a good time was had by all. I was 19 years old, had a baby and my friends thought a honeymoon was necessary. I would never have had one this time around, money is not really an issue, and I asked my friends and family to do so much just travelling to the Caribbean, I would have been embarrassed if anything like this had been done for us. What I am saying is it depends on your circumstaces a to if this is a good idea, I do think however others should be throwing it for you, it would feel to much like, help me pay for my wedding, if you threw it for yourselves. If you are going to throw one youselves I would feel out your family and friends first to see how they feel about it.
