jajajaja

My DVR cut it short. We recorded a later episode and tacked on 5 mins. I want to see the previews! Sam going crazy was a tad out of character! Very interested to see what all this pent up aggression is coming from. Has a bit of his brother in him eh?

I know right-- when Arlene said the baby was Renee's my Dh was like "huh? He's been dead forever." LOL I was like apparently it's only been 3 months or so. Â And can I point out how much Sookie and Bill have broken up in the last 3 months.... insanity.

Holy crap- last night's episode was completely off track with the books so it totally had me guessing the whole time. Soo Sookie is staying with Bill huh? Damn... Â So this holly chick- something weird is going on. Is she good or bad? I'm thinking bad- like she is making people feel comfortable, pulling them all in and then we are going to see her true intentions- kind of like Maryanne. Â The Russell ending was hilarious and totally caught me off guard.

I've read that mornings are the best, because the exercise gives your metabolism a boost and you burn all day. I tried the 5a workouts--- sooo rough! But hey- as long as you do it, that's all that counts. Getting up early to workout just gave me another excuse not to do it at all! So not a morning person over here! Â

I think you taking the high road was the best idea! When drama is going down, it's really easy to get very involved in it and want to murder everyone and burn their house down. However, as time passes and the wounds aren't as fresh, you tend to get a bit more clarity and see just how ridiculous it all was- not saying your position isn't valid- it TOTALLY is. But because your sister is well... your sister--- it carries more weight than a normal person who can easily be cut out of your life. You are absolutely correct that she can publicly make the choice to look like the jackass and it's out of your hands. Â I hope your party goes well and I really hope all this is a thing of the past! Planning any event is nerve-recking but there isn't a lot of events where you are the soul person responsible and it's all on your head. Weddings are pretty much it. After that you can usually have "co-hosts" and they can take some of the work and blame- if things don't go well. LOL Â I bet you have a great time!

Did you mean Sookie's cousin Hadley? I don't know who Holly is either.

Laura- funny you mention that. My hubby said the exact same thing- he was like "he's Tasty Oreo". Car- True Blood's first episode pretty much started with Jason humping the waitress that was also a fang banger. He ended up watching that tape of her doing the vampire too. Dawn I think?

Car- I didn't think you gave away any spoilers. It has shown that she was a shifter of some sort and I forgot about the fox thing. Wow- we are veering away from the books again. Sooo much craziness. That sex scene at the end surprised me, but it kinda brought back all the edginess in that regard from season 1. I'll never forget that opening show with Jason and the waitress that ended up murdered. I was like "WHOA- what is this insanity?" After season 1, I bought the books and was delighted to find out that season 1= book 1 so I had plenty to read and have new. What the heck is going to happen with Erik now?

Juliet- We did it for 30 days straight. Won't lie- it was tough to find the motivation to do it every day! However, I lost like 15 lbs doing it. When I felt a level was starting to not be as challenging, I would bump up to the next. I let my body dictate it and oh boy will it! Good luck! I'm going to start this up again. I think I'm going to do it 5 days a week this time to give myself a break.

Yay! So let's see.... you will have them done in about a week?! LOL Seriously, easy reads.

Yes- all in due time grasshopper. Unless you wanna join the fun and just read it!

Megan= Crystal We will see that storyline develop further I'm sure. I def don't want to give THAT away!

I LOVE this season so far. It's been so great and full of a nice mix of comedy, suspense and drama! WB cougs! Get on that reading!

Nessa- I didn't tip photog. I had a friend do my hair so I can't comment on that.

Umm I think from whoever LC used- kinda like their "photographer". I think Ann used them so she may be able to provide a name.

We debated on hiring one forever. Finally a friend volunteered to tape it for us so we ended up passing on the pro. I REALLLLLY wish I didn't. I think it was like $500 quote and at the time I was trying to keep the budget nice since I kept stretching it thin. If I could have only one do-over, this would be it. Just my 2 cents though.

I love the Oregon coast. They would be some aweome pictures! I love that photoshare cards. What a cute idea. I just wrote my info on my welcome brochure, but had I been a crafty bride, I would have totally done something like that instead.

Wait- you did or are doing a TTD here in Oregon? ETA- oh and in all my excitement I forgot to say- beautiful photos of course! What was little camera detail with your monogram on it? And I love you singing into your flowers! LOL

Kate- there are a bunch of threads dedicated to this topic in some of the other subforums so you can check those out if you would like more opinions. However, I always think the earlier the better. DWs require time off, money, motivation to get bikini ready, etc. I'm sure everyone would like to know in advance if one of those things are required of them!

LOL if my husband planned it, he would have skimped on EVERYTHING. Photog- "no not needed- that's what moms are for." Flowers- "ahhh... they just die anyways." Dress- "what's wrong with the ones you already have?" Chuppa- "what the hell is that? Something at Taco Bell?" You did an excellent job! I loved all of the details. Did you DYI the invites?

Gorgeous wedding! Your wife is beautiful! Congratulations.

LOL- my MIL totally clashed too. However, I never really told her what to wear so I guess it's my fault. I'm not even sure she knew our wedding colors. Did you tell her you'd like her to match? I guess you would think it's common sense to think about pictures and looking nice, but not everyone is really in tune like that. Don't worry- she won't be in a ton of pics.

We had a few people walk down the beach from the show and ended up at our wedding. I remember looking at them so confused like "where did you come from?" I saw the excursion boat go by at one point, but totally forgot they were there because it is really quiet...surprisingly.

Welcome girls! Congrats! You will love Las Caletas! Katherine- search for budgets. We have many threads with budgets and I know brides have uploading their spreadsheets that itemizes costs. That should give you a better start to figure out what type of budget you are looking at. I think my total budget was around $14k- which I included my 2 week honeymoon stay, LC total cost for 20 people, wedding dress, welcome dinner, photography, groom attire, etc. However, this number is totally subjective because everyone has different priorities. I think my LC total was $6-7k. I can't remember.

You don't have to lie because who's going to ask? I don't ask my friends after their wedding "sooooooo is it legal?" I did get questions like "how does the legal process in MX work with weddings?" I'd just explain the process- lol.
