I also like #3 the best. One of my friends tried it on and it's such a va-va-voom dress that I loved it! I agree though that perhaps a size bigger.

I think it's beautiful, I love the back. Congrats on finding the one!

OMG, I am just checking out this thread and there are like 1700 posts! How in the world am I going to read all of them! Guess I better get started...

Welcome back! You looked gorgeous, and I love that 1st teaser shot from KLK!

Oh I love them, really classy/sexy.

Your boston is lazy, Danielle? Omg, my parents had 3 (1 has since passed away) and my sis has 1 and while 1 is a little more chill then the others, the other 3 were crazy hyper! But I love that breed, I think they have such great personalities.

If you do a search for parasols, you get lots of returns.

Ummm, are ya kidding me? You didn't want to bombard us with pics?? Do you know us at all, Jacqueline! I just checked Danielle's facebook and it looks like she has a few additional pics on there - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref...6649934&ref=mf Quote: Originally Posted by Jacqueline haha maybe i will add some tonight or over the weekend. i didnt want to bombard with pix b/c they are all pretty much the same so i just grabbed my fav's

I agree that it's as much about looks/sex appeal/ personality as it is about dancing skills, or sometimes more so. But let's face it, we want to watch attractive people dance! Frig, I had so many comments to make and they are all gone. I'll come back when I remember what I wanted to say.

OH, it looks beautiful! I love the way the material looks.

I am glad that you are feeling better about it!! Your wedding should be a happy time, so I am glad that you are moving on. Good luck with everything from now on!

Totally frigging hot! They are great!

Ok, I was going to say my favorites, but I love them all! I love the one where you are laughing under your veil and the one where the girls are putting your dress on. You happiness just shines thru. Awwww, Jac, I love them!

I'm in the minority, but I would say #2 all the way.

I have no idea the brand name that I used, but if you go to your local craft shop, they should have lots to choose from. I just chose one that would give a nice rounded corner.

Cute, Jac! I love everything, but of course you alraedy know that...

You look beautiful and SO happy! And of course we want to see the non-pro as well as the pro pics! I was wondering when you were going to give us some.

I had never been to JA before and neither had Matt, but we chose it for the affordibility and for the kids that were in our wedding.

Fancy weekend! Congrats on both purchases, but I can't beleive that you posted this with NO pics!

Congrats! And I hope you are done with the drama part of it! Can't wait to see pictures!

Can't wait to schedule my par-tay!

Weird, they are "fuzzy" on my screen too. But I can tell that you looked beautiful! Congrats!

I don't think it's selfish at all! While DW's are common on here, in real life, people don't have that much knowledge of them. So the whole AHR idea, isn't common to everyone anyway! Do what you want. It sounds like a super stressful timing with your just returning, school, moving, etc.

I ditto to Vikki and Christine. Sometimes as brides, we get way to wrapped up in our weddings that we forget that the people around us have lifes too. Buying a house is a big deal and it's probably something that she would want your support/excitment with, just as you want it with your wedding. Take a few days off the friendship to cool down and take a step back, but I think you'll see that she has valid concerns. I lost my 4 longest/best friends from the JA part of my wedding. All due to different reasons, mostly kids and cost, they just couldn't make it work. I was REALLY disappointed. Even for a while I thought, wow, I see how much I mean to them. But time and actions have shown that I DO really matter to them! They just couldn't make it work for Jamaica. Even if they do have money in savings, they may have plans for it (buying a house), but whatever their plans are, it's their decision and it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't care about you. There just comes a time in a persons life where they have to think responsibly about their own lifes. Not going into debt to attend a friends DW is a pretty smart move if they can't afford it. I am really sorry that you are so upset over it, but I have no doubts that she feels just as bad for missing your wedding. Oh, and I would def tell her and her bf/fi/whatever, that they will owe you for whatever money you have put out as this point since they backed out of the plans. Not sure that you will ever see the money, but I do believe that it's their responsibility, since they are the ones breaking plans.

#1, but if you really don't know which one is calling out to you, maybe it's neither! I would not make any decisions just yet, check out a few more stores and then come back to these 2 and see which one really stands out.
