I also like Adrianna and Naveed, they are adorable. This week was much smoother then last with Donna, I thought. I enjoyed it much more. I am glad that Kelly finally got a piece!

They look great! The second to last one was my absolute fave! He's going to flip out!

I wouldn't advise the mystic tan unless you can do a trial first. I've never done one, but my sister did and she's as light as me and she turned a weird color. not really orange, but I'd hate for you to turn a weird color for your bd pics!

I used a spray on one from CVS last year that seemed to work pretty well. It was subtle. Just enough tint to cover the fact that I am so white you can see my veins thru my skin. I don't remember the name of it, but it was in a bronze aerosol spray can and went on really easy. I'll try to remember to look up the name tonight (mighta been Sally Hansen something)

Beautiful location! I am sorry it was so chilly for you guys, but it certainly didn't take away from the pictures! You looked gorgeous, LOVE your dress!

I never know how to answer this question, what does it even mean?? 10: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Yes, Dmitri, your post was removed since it violated the vendor rules. Since you used your photos, it is considered self-promotion. Let us know if you have any questions, but in the meantime you can view the vendor rules here - http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t921 (Rule #7)

Only a mod can do that. Feel free to PM any one of us for help like that! Just give us the thread link and what you want it updated to.

I know that one TA just left for a business trip and I am pretty sure she was going to the Carribean, so she might jsut be unavailable. How much time was between your requests? Another TA just had a baby about 2 months ago. Without knowing which one you tried to contact, it's kinda hard to say.

Ya know, I wouldn't even have been scared off b/c of craigslist from your original posting. I mean, of course, you have to be careful, but I just assumed it was a photog that is trying to build his portfolio, not a mass-murderer/rapist. I guess I am not paranoid like that. I am glad that you found a free session, that's so cool! Definitely, be careful (as you/we always should be!) and let us know how it goes! ETA: Oh, I also forgot to say that you should check his prices on prints and books and stuff. The session might be free, but you want to make sure that you aren't going to pay for it on the other end.

I was never really a huge Donna Martin fan, but I never had anything against her either. But I really wasn't a fan of her on the show this week. It seemed like all the scenes she was in were awkward. Perhaps it will get better since she's the newest addition to the cast, but I just wasn't feeling it.

Oh, I always do the "thanks, you too" thing. Or automatically say "your welcome" sometimes too. Like the other day at work, I was picking stuff up off the printer and a girl came over whose printing was mixed up in mine. I leafed thru and handed it to her and she jsut took it and walked away. I said "your welcome". And I wasn't even trying to be snarky. It was a reflex.

I've shaken bottles before with the lids off. Salad dressing, A-1, etc. Salad dressing is the WORST to clean up! I guess I just like my stuff super mixed up that I shake, take the lid off and then sometimes forget and shake it again! Idiot.

Great site - it's also an iphone app now, so you can read it on the go! Or no the train, like I do.

Oh, Becks, that reminds me of something similar I did. A few years ago, my car was in the shop for some reason or another and I had a rental. You know how rental go, crap cars with nothing automated. The only car that I ever got in and out of on a regular basis that wasn't automated was my co-workers, and she was anal about always locking the doors. So I got in the habit all the time of locking doors, even if it wasn't a manual car. Anyway, I had this rental to the train station and I always park, then walk up and put my 4 quarters in the payment slot, then go back and sit in my car until the train comes. So I did that that morning, but had locked myself out! Just like, Rebecca, my car was running as well. I had to call my mom, who catches the same train a few stops before me, to see if she could look up AAA number for me, then I had to wait HOURS for them to show up while I sat in my moms car and waited for them! She was nice enough to drive down to my train station and get on the train there, so I could wait in her warm car and not be stuck outside freezing my ass off. Even better was that I had locked my cell phone in my car as well, so I had to go up to a random person on the platform and tell them what I did and ask to use their phone. Lovely.

There are already at least 3 threads dedicated to this information, but feel free to let me know if any other threads should be linked and I will update them. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t37031 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t7327 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t35847

Hhahahaa, I can totally picture that happening. I know I have some dumb moments, I'll have to think on it.

Thanks again! marTin Hi Martin, Please see the rules for platinum vendors copied from above, note the request to send an email about rates and availability. Platinum vendor: must pay for button ad (email [email protected] for rates and available spots) get added to the "BDW Platinum Vendor Directory" are allowed to put their website & blog links, 1 pic, & info in their siggy get to run 3 promos/ads in vendor marketplace a year (must be approved by admin)

Ditto. (typing more...) Quote: Originally Posted by YoursTruly I have a huge problem with addressing each other as if we have ownership or the whole parent child hierarchy. I guess I am way too laid back to tell my husband I am not allowing him to do something. I would voice concerns and ask that he take it into consideration and things work well that way. He is not my child so I think its wrong to tell a grown person that they are not allowed. Kind of like that whole "wives submit" reference in the wedding vows...... Quote: Originally Posted by Yari Very well said! This is probably going to come off bitchy, but I'm pregnant so deal with it. Also, this is not meant for the thread starter at all...just to the ladies who "told" their husbands they are not "allowed" to do this or do that and they have to get a mani or stay at the hotel and be waiting on their beckon call. WTF? Marriage is a partnership not an ownership...you do not own them, they are not property. If my husband told me on my wedding day that I couldn't do something and I needed to be with him the whole morning I would have fled the scence. Your poor FI's and DH's, they should run for the hills...

Thanks for the input, Kris! I found them on amazon.com with free shipping for $79. I am pretttty sure I am going to order one, but will probably have to wait a month or so.

Darn, that would be my issue as well. Seeing the muscle thru the layers of fat. Gross. Anyway, cool, i didn't know they wre the cheap! I think I will buy a ball and test it out. The chair was like $80, so $9 is a steal to see if I can do it.

Oh, so you use just a regular ball, not the ball-chair? Hmmm, hadn't really considered that option. People steal stuff at my work allt he time (ghetto-ass mo fo's!), so a ball itself might be too easy for someone to walk away with, but a chair? Who's going to lug that away. Did you notice any difference in your body? I know it helps posture and the core, but will I look any different? Just wondering if I splurge will I see results or only feel them? Right now I am thinking that I need to buy the chair! But I am showing some restraint to think about it.
