See, I attempted to say something similar, who can have jsut one BDW crush? Going to pick up my lunch now, but since Rachel broke the rules of having only one crush, I will post mine later!

So I bought Lumapix and have been playing around in there and also downloaded trial version of Lightroom, but I keep coming back to the photos that Melissa already altered for me! Anyway, I made a quick collage that I was thinking might be cute for my thank you card and wanted a saying or something to put on the top. Here is a copy of what it looks like now, tell me what you think... Right now, it just says our names, wedding date and location...

These directions are great, Sarah! Now what may be a silly question - how can I make the background something other then white? I did a search in help, but am still confused...

Here are some fonts that I found that might help you - Free ocean,waves fonts @ fontspace.com The one called seawave might work for what you want...

Perfect timing with the camera!

Ohhh, Maura, I love the color of your fmil's dress!

Wow. I have just loved everything you've done along the way, and put together everything looks great! I am absolutley in love with your flowergirl dresses! And those headbands are so cute! You, of course, looked gorgeous! Congrats on doing such a great job!

Wow, that's a great deal and they would make cute centerpieces! Good find Carrie.

Ohhhh. I was just about to purchase elements. i think I will go home and download the free trial of lightroom to see. Since I know the before and after shots that you edited for me and really liked them. Thanks, Mel!

K, so I obught lumapix the other day and got sucked right in. It was like 2 hours later when I realized I was still on the computer. Now I am contemplating all the other things, lightroom, photoshop, elements. I cant' make up my mind!

I wish had thought of that for my wedding! It was a fairly windy day, not too bad. My veil was super long and I thought heavy enough, but it blew right off my head as we were walking back down the aisle.

My mom and sister did the CSA thing too. I can tell you one thing. This thread has opened my eyes to what I NEED to start doing. So thank you all for posting what you do! It is a good place to start realizing the things that I can be doing.

I remembered, I remembered! My favorite gift that I got was from My friend Roe and it was a manicure set. I actually posted on here a few weeks ago looking for something similar and couldn't find it anywhere. I looked in every store and almost every website! Anyway, it was a mani/pedi set that had all the tools, lotions and whatnot and about 4 different polishes, as well as base and top coat; cuticle cream. Literally everything you could need. And she wrote a nice little thing in a card about how since I will be showing my hands off, gotta make them pretty! I use it all the time. It came in a handy little clear carrying case (looks like a mini suitcase) and it is so convenient. Something else that i have bought for a few people's engagements are the Christmas ornaments that are clay people with their names and date of engagement on them. The one I bought just a few weeks ago said thier names, "He asked, she said yes!" and the date. Very cute! Ab, I couldn't find them on the website either! That is why I had to go to the store and they had them. I just checked my receipt and tried looking it up by item # or the description, but they don't come up. Perhaps they don't list the items when they aren't that expensive? Anyway, I can take a pic of mine, or you just might see pics posted sometime soon!

I think they can be completely differnt. We went the more formal route for std's cuz I didn't know any better and then used the boarding pass for our invites. People still have them hanging on their fridges cuz they had never seen anything like it before. I would stick with the same theme though. Like my std and invite's both used hibiscus' and our wedding colors - orange and blue (and pink was added to the invites).

Creepy all the way!! Like totally weird. Almost made me shiver.

I was going to say the ring holder (just bought a few this weekend actually, for gifts). But the ones I bought were little boxes from 10000 Villages. I have one for myself in the bathroom and I like it, so bought it for 2 girls as gifts. I like the idea of stationary though. Personalized, nice stationary is cool. I never had anything like it, but would like to get myself some! And I know I had an idea, but I forgot it while typing up the responses! Dang it. I will post back when/if I remember.

Wow, Tammy, that artistic shot you took is great! Like you could blow that up and put it on a wall. And seriously? Dogs on motorbikes? Does it get any cuter then that? Although I like the one where he is looking at the camera with his big ass glasses on like "what?"

I voted for #1, #2 is pretty and all, but it is just kinda plain for me. But either way, they both look good on you.

Matt and I are a good combo of dependence and independence, I think. He works close to home (like 5 minutes) and I travel 1.5+ hours to and then the same home each day. I am a pretty solitary person, like I like to be home alone and read my book, or just be alone. Matt is so not like that. If he is home, he is like right beside me. He is such a social person (which helps me out in social situations, I think he has helped me relax a bit in those situations). But we do most stuff together. We go food shopping together, and if we go out, it is together. I live over an hour away from my friends, so if we hang out, it's mostly with his friends. Although, sometimes I chose to stay home and soak up my alone time! Oh yeah, and we text all day long, but usually only talk once at lunch time. I agree with the previous poster though, that each couple will find their own balance and what's normal for one might not be normal for another.

Erin, that house looks great!! Yayyyyyy! So exciting!

Amy - it looks great! Not nearly as short as I was expecting, but it looks great! That's about the length of my hair now and I was thinking mine was LONG. Hahahahahaa. Also love the posing, it cracked me up.

So exciting! Matt and I are actually going tomorrow to make an official offer on a house we found, so I totally get your excitement!! (Although, I am nervous as well!)

Well, also cuz you were my guest! I am glad that you guys came and had a good time, that was why we invited you. I wouldn't have expected you to be shooting. But like I have said a million times, if I had known you before, def would've hired you instead. Oh, maybe next time. Hahahaha. I was even thinking of telling Matt that maybe for our anniversary or something next year, we could do BD photos together, like Tanna (I think that is who it was anyway?). Those photos were cool.

Wow, you look great! It really accentuates your waist. Great choice.

Hahaha, I love that you tricked them at the wedding and went in. That's great. I love the hammock pics too, they are great! And holy crap, your hubbie is tall.
