Oh they are so so so good Maura! You look angelic So beautiful and happy! I can't wait to see them all!

Alyssa I do like the idea of the wine colored flowers. That will look so rich with your gorgeous off-white satin dress. Very romantic Love the shoes btw!

Made it to 6am spin class this morning. Yay! I have so much more energy on the mornings I work out...I have to keep reminding myself that when the alarm goes off!

Oh man..I love that 1st white dress with the cute back. Great picks Lea. You have really good taste.....I love dresses!

So some of you have asked quesitons about the workouts.....Here is something I put together for a few other gals a while back. I hope it can help. WORKOUTS: When I’m getting in shape for a special event or something like a vacation I usually work out about 6 days a week. If it’s just general “maintenance†or wintertime it’s more like 4 or 5 days a week. I try and get 4 days of weight workouts in, and then take a day of just cardio in between. Andy and I both structure our weight workouts between “push†days and “pull†days. I’ll explain…… Push days are chest presses, shoulder lifts, triceps (dips or kickbacks), and chest flys. You can change it up, but you get the general idea. On the push days I do dead lifts for the backs of the legs. Pull days are biceps, back, and lats. I do two different back exercises (row machine), two different lat pull down exercises, and bicep curls with the free weight bar. On pull days I also do the squats and lunges. Go here for animations of what workouts should look like: Body-for-LIFE Training Demonstrations It’s really good to work the different muscle groups on varying days. For cardio I usually switch between the elliptical and treadmill, or spin classes. I go for 15 minutes on the elliptical, then go to the treadmill to run for 15, then back to the elliptical for 15 (total of 45 minutes) Mostly I do it that way because I get really antsy and bored so I have to change it up. I found it actually gives me a better workout to change it up like that since it is working different parts of my body. Here is a typical week: 1: Push Weights & 35-45 min cardio 2: Pull Weights & 35-45 min cardio 3: Just cardio (about 55-60 minutes or one hour long cardio class like spinning) 4: Push Weights & 35-45 min cardio 5: Pull Weights & 35-45 min cardio 6: Just cardio (55-60 minutes/ some days I run outside/walk outside/etc.) 7: day off Once quick piece of advice that I have personally had to deal with.....it's not enough to just show up to the gym and get through your workout. You really have to work HARD. That was my problem for a long time. I'd go to the gym and just kind of go through the motions without really pushing myself. I had to switch it up and add in some different classes and things to shock my body into getting over a plateau.

Last night did push weights and 45 min of cardio. Today is just 60 min cardio and abs. Tomorrow I HAVE to wake up for spin class....missed it on Tuesday am and felt guilty all day

Holy Moly...it just kept getting better and better. You have really the most amazingly planned, totally gorgeous....totally informed wedding! All of your projects look sooooo good! You look fantastic in the dress.....his suit is so cute...it all is going to be just perfect. Your location is stunning...I just cannot wait to see it all come together. The wait is finally over

Wow...hot stuff My fav is the one with grafitti in background and your little leg kicked up. So sweet! You guys looked great...so city stylish Great great pics. I can see why you want the more modern pics for the wedding photos.....totally a perfect style for you Heather love them

Note to self...If I start craving chinese food, come read this and go eat a salad. Yucky. You'll get it cleaned up for sure. I know you have the crazy expensive power vaccum. God you deserve one heck of a medal for what you do Tammy

I have been pretty good at sticking to 4-5 sessions a week. I went away for the long weekend though so time to get back to it after 5 days off! Good girl! I'm on a roll with spin classes twice a week as well. I love how much energy I have all day after doing it in the morning. Since getting back from the wedding I really cut down on my gym time and I seriously noticed a difference faster than I imagined. I'm back to about 5 days a week, trying to go Mon-Friday and take the weekends off. I feel like that's a good compromise from my 6-7 days i was at before the wedding. I need to get back in tip top shape before Italy in September! We'll be walking like crazy..... Keep it up girls! I'm watching you

Those pics are so sweet. How nice of her! I love your little dress and cute heels You have plenty of framers now!

Uhm girls...what happend to this thread! Just because I've been slacking off and stuffing my face with peanut butter by the spoonfull doesn't mean the rest of you get to stop working out too! Ha! I did go to spin class this morning at 6am. I've got to work off the 4lbs I've seriously gained since getting back from the wedding. I didn't think I would do that! Yikes....back to it. Now who's been busting their butts at the gym??

Vintage perfume bottles from estate sales and family members who give me their old pretty ones .........shoes

Those are great pics. You both are super photogenic!

Oh my goodness talk about a well planned wedding. It is going to be so spectacular. You are going to be so beautiful in that dress...he is going to die. I can't wait for the day to be here! So much amazing planning and effort Maura. You did a killer job pulling it all off. I can't wait to see your pictures!! Yay!!

Yay! Happy Birthday!!!! Do a little dance..... Make a little Love....... Get Down tonight Miss Glenda..... Oh...and have a few drinks and treat yourself to something special It's YOUR day!!!

You look fantastic. You pull off the hair with little braids so well. Jealous.....love the dress you wore. Bummer it wasn't exactly a relaxing time for the wedding party. At least it will make everyone appreciate CABO!!

I can't wait to vote in this election. I feel like it's the first time I've been passionate about a certain candidate. Good idea bringing this up! Rock it!

Tough one....I like #3 and #4 the best. They are all very pretty on you though. Good luck making the decision

Wow, beautiful pictures of them. I can't even imagine what their household is like...yikes. Must be plenty of love to go around!

Helllllooooo Gorgeous! It could not be more perfect for you! I'm so so happy you LOVE it! The color and fabric looks perfect. You made a good choice Yippeee

Holy moly...you have a great shape...and I really think #1 is amazing on you. #2 is definitely a show stopper, since it is so unique; but #1 fits you like a glove and the sweetheart neckline is to die for. You look fantastic in both!

oooohhh....Love the outfit. Shoes are super cute. Have fun!
