jajajaja

Jaime- to answer your question I gave cash to Nicole (Kelley wasn't there during my wedding) and we gave $50 to Brad. Andi- adorable teaser pic!!! I love it. Welcome back and congrats!

It was Allison Marie. I'm soo disappointed. I thought she did so well in the competition. Oh well- I don't really think it matters much who wins once they get to the top 5 category. Danny- ohhhh my. His performance was terrible. I just don't get why people really like him- my DH does. I think he's crazy. Danny is sooo blah to me. With Allison gone, I don't really care what happens. No one is my fav's anymore.

Can we cross our fingers that maybe David will do a drive by? Terminator got cancelled so what else is he up to? Maybe come back and woo Donna? I REALLY wish we could have a new Annie. I'm sick of looking at her already. So this is kinda old- did you guys notice on the episode when Annie and her brother (my mind blanked on his name!!) went to AZ to find his birth mom they kept doing all these stupid close ups of Dr. Pepper? I was like WTF- I get they are a sponsor, but enough already. They haven't done that since...totally weird.

I love this show. I watch old repeats on the weekends when hubby is out playing football. He would rather die than watch a minute of it. Kelly is such a bitch. I wanted to beat the crap out of her when she was talking Bethenney- soooo disrespectful. How are you suppose to "clear the air" if you go into it acting like the other person needs to bow at your feet. Alex and Simon are gross. Period.

Congrats Shelley! Everything looks beautiful. I love the vibrant colors. Enjoy being a new Mrs!!

They look beautiful. Sarah always does such good work. The colors are so vibrant and tropical. Your guests will be impressed for sure!

Beautiful pics Jenny. I love the last two- gorgeous!

Jaime- we did a co-ed bach party. I even planned it myself! Seriously, a year later people still talk about it! It was one of the funniest nights. We just invited our fun party people and went out and had a good time. Do not feel guilty about any of this stuff. Call a spade a spade. Your friend is allowing this party to blow up in your face. Grab the reins and do something YOU REALLY want to do. Your getting down to the last few months (which I can barely believe you are so close!) Just enjoy every last minute. Don't feel pressured to do anything you don't want to and don't follow any "wedding rules." You will forget all this little stuff years later. Promise!

Well I see you already hashed it out with her, but wow- how can she repond "oh hahaha blah blah blah" no sorry in there? That was incredibly rude. Even if the hotel is boring she shouldn't be able to shit talk your choice of hotel. She could simply decide to stay elsewhere and totally miss the "partaay" with all your other guests. Trust me- you don't need to be on the "strip" to have a good time with all the guests. The best time is having everyone together.

Wow- I had the exact opposite experience. My boss told me in a review that "I know too many people" haha. Ok sorry I've worked here for 8 years and people like me.... I think she may have been trying to say I'm too social, but seriously, she's crazy so I took that with a grain of salt. Soo hmm...did your boss clarify why he wants you to be more "social?" Are people in the office intimidated to talk to you? Does he want you to be more approachable?

haha- do you really want to know? I totally thought that at the end of season 4 too. Don't read past here if you didn't really want to know: No, he doesn't die.

Personally I have begun to like Priveliged so much better. I think that's kinda funny too cause when the show first premiered I thought I could take it or leave it. Actually I really like it. As for 90210- I still watch. Not sure why cause I'm not too into it. I record it and eventually get around to watching it. Annie is REALLLLLY annoying. I wish someone would coach that girl and get her to settle the acting down. She is just a little to over the top and I hate the self-righteous attitude she has. She is always playing victim to Naomi but she's the one that went behind her "friend's" back to date her ex-bf (that was still kinda Naomi's on again/ off again bf.) The brother thing- totally crazy plot. Not sure what was going on there- especially with the Naomi flirting with her HALF brother. Gross. But damn, is Tori really coming back? I thought I might be able to cut this show loose as I have too much tv to try to keep up with. If Tori is back, then I will continue on. I love the old cast!!

It's gorgeous Casey. You are sooo skinny girl. You look fabulous in the dress! I think a brooch is totally something only you can decide. It looks great without- the fabric is beautiful and I definitely don't think the style of the dress is plain at all! I love the flair at the bottom!

yeah- you aren't over-reacting at all!! That's really bad. She should be a very detail orientated person for her job. I'm glad she's fixing it- hopefully for FREEE!!

I would just like to add that even if you get legally married before, I don't think it takes away from the ceremony AT ALL!!!! Maybe others had different experiences, but I haven't read anything implying different on this forum. We were married 3 months before, but our ceremony was beautiful and completely full of emotion. It did not take away from that special moment at all and it was completely meaningful. IMO, we just took care of the legalities before hand- it's no different than getting your marriage license in advance and then having the ceremony later.

Everybody's doing it. We totally got married like 3 months before the wedding. We didn't tell anybody and nearly a year later the secret is still safe. No worries- I doubt anyone would be even offended if they did find out. People go to the out home receptions all the time and they aren't offended to attend just the reception.

oh there are some good threads out there girls. you will know more about the BDW members than you would probably like to! haha

I don't believe they got married. Until they start kissing like they actually like one another, I'm not going to believe anything that comes out of this "couples" mouths. I don't even think they are together. ha! How's that for conspiracy theories.

I think it's beautiful. Most of your guests will wear sundresses (well at least the women!) so I think you don't want to be way more dressed up than them. This is perfect! Sexy yet very tropical!

I thinks it's the holiday schedule. I think a lot of shows are off til Jan!

Jac- i got mine from target- in all the really pretty jewel tone colors. Plus some really pretty disco ball style ones. I absolutely HEART them. And girls- my boss is the target lady. Soo funny- we just had our holiday work party and my coworker's husband was like "your boss is the target lady." Omg- he totally nailed that. I can't believe I never put two and two together- but yep, she's the target lady.

Well I thought about going the ba-humbug approach this year. DH was majorly hungover last weekend (ugh- bad story) and I wanted to get a tree. He wouldn't get off his butt to take me to get one. This weekend he is out of town. Poop on him. Anyways, I really want to do a tree now and share it. I always decorate by myself and this year I just didn't know if I could do it alone. But now that I have you girls to share in my hard work, maybe I will after all. Thankfully trees are very cheap in Oregon. I think I read somewhere that a huge % of trees actually come from where I live. There are Christmas tree farms EVERYWHERE. Anyways, beautiful decorations thus far. Love your eclectic tree Abbie- it has character. Jess- your MIL needs help. LOL Seriously, a Hello Kitty vibrator- that is sick on so many levels. Love your fav ornaments and the wreath-very cute. Desiree- your tree is beauitful! I don't think I've seen one shaped like that before. Jacilyn- I too love your stockings. Cute cute. Geralyn- love the mini tree! It's adorable.

Ok I'm totally with you girls. This Izzy-Denny thing is completely weird. It's a little distracting for me. I'm not a big one for crazy story lines- which is why I don't watch soaps. But this seems a little soap-ish to me. I didn't know George was leaving.

I always felt like I should LOVE my dress and know it's the ONE because everyone told me so. But honestly, I'm not that type of person to get all pumped up over a dress, so I don't think it's a one size fits all kind of emotion. I thought my dress was beautiful on the model- I ordered it from a mag in the bridal shop. Once I had it on, I felt fat and unsure of my decision. I road it out because I had no options. I thought the dress was pretty, but I didn't feel pretty IN it, if that makes sense. Anyways, day of wedding- it's not about the dress. It's about everything. Your hair, your makeup, your look- the dress is just part of it. The emotions of the day supersede everything. Your dress will only be a glimmer in the big picture. Trust me- if you like your dress, you will LOVE it on the day of. I think you could put a bride in love in a paper sack and her beauty and confidence would overshadow the dress. No worries- you will be beautiful and most importantly you will FEEL beautiful.

WOW- how sad. Did you see the MTV aftershow that Heidi's sister was on? Holly just found out Heidi was married, but when they informed her that Heidi was actually married 4 days before she found out, she started to cry. She was way more tight lipped than the mom, and really graceful. I felt terrible for her.
