jajajaja

I think the jars would be beautiful. Leigh Miller posted a wedding she did photographed in Cali. It had the rustic theme going on. It was sooo beautiful. I will see if I can find that thread.

I know!! Last year, I tried to do a rope swing off an embankment into a river. Unfortunately, we didn't have that taped either or I would have made some serious dough. Steve told me I couldn't do it cause I didn't have enough upper body strength. Of course that pissed me off, so I jumped off the boat and swam to the shore with him leaving all my friends behind shouting at me to stop. I climbed up the embankment and realized that maybe I was in over my head. It was really far up and I could barely touch the rope. Steve helped me hold on to it and told me to jump then pull my body up the rope otherwise I would crash into the bank below. So bravely, I jumped, pulled my body weight up BUT forgot to tuck my f'ing feet. My feet hit the beach below causing me to face plant with just my face hitting the few inches of water. It completely knocked the wind out of me and I crawled into the water to just let my body float off the pain. It was the funniest, most painful thing.

LOL those are hilarious Carly. I love the last one- a balloon for udders. Too creative. My dad just got bit by a dog when we were camping. I seriously just laughed when reading the title. These costumes were too funny.

I agree with a long simple veil. I ordered mine from Occansey Designs. Super cheap and super easy to customize!

I got mine at Occansey. They are wonderful to work with and it was soooo cheap! Mine was 60" with an edging of crystals for like $40 (maybe less- I can't remember now!) Definintely look into it!

LOL Quote: Originally Posted by starchild You got me jealous, camping is awesome!! You just reminded me that we need to plan our trip. Damn, this summer really got away from me!!! WTF? Uhhhh ya Jamy. I'm slightly freaked out that it's already August. I mean, WTF-where did the time go??!! We have barely had opportunity to take our boat out this summer. I was just whining to Steve this morning that it feels like our summer has been full of "to do's" and no free weekends for ourselves. Too many graduations, weddings, and other stuff we have to commit to. Grrrr...people should run this crap by me! Quote: Originally Posted by Abbie awwwww rach, we miss you too hurry and make them hire somone! hey i got an idea, maybe i can move down there and do it, seems like they are pretty good about internet time then we would both be happy! Well Abbie- I can't really say they are "cool" with the internet time. I think it's more of a "what they don't know won't hurt them" type of thing. I get my work done so I guess no one looks into my extra curricular activities. I'll put a good word in for you and help you find a place to live! Move on down, girlfriend.

I can just picture "Action Rachel and Stevil Kenevil" LOL LOL- I REALLY REALLY wish we had remembered to take our video recorder out on the boat. Somewhere in the middle of my 10 feet flying stunt through the air in which I didn't land in the water but bounced off the tube and flew another 10 feet in the air to belly flop in the water I thought "wow, I wish this were on tape because A) I won't remember it after hitting the water and no one will believe how freaking high I am." Needless to say, Stevil and I are barely able to walk today. We just realized we aren't young pups anymore. LOL

Just don't pull a me and glue menu cards together on your way to the airport! You got 23 days. Get it all done and drink a friggin mai tai on the way to the airport instead!

It's suppose to be really nice so that I'm very thankful for. Plus we bought this new 3 person tube for our boat (it's huge- 96"!) I can't wait to get tossed off that thing. I should probably make a chiropractor appointment now!

That's nearly my bday too Yari so that's definitely some good date choosin.

Oh I have been so busy- I'm working 2 jobs for the price of 1 right now. Who knew I was so cheap!!?? But seriously, I can not wait for my work to hire someone for the position I have been covering for the last month. I'm so used to having nothing to do that when a whole shit ton of work falls on my lap, I freak out because I can't be on BDW! Also, I've been on vacation a few times this summer and I'm getting ready to go camping tomorrow for 5 whole stinky days. I'm so excited but then I know I will come back to a zillion unread threads. Is it sad it makes me so sad to feel like I'm missing out? I know we have probably had a million noobies in the last month- HI NOOBIES!! And probably even more near bridal freakouts that I wasn't able to give my wonderful advice for that probably would have sounded something like this "Be chill- it will all be merry" or "tell that bitch to step off before I go bridezilla on her ass." I'm even more sad to think about all the gossip and funny chit chat I've missed. Poor me. Just wanted to note- I still love you all and I can't wait to join back in on the festivities!!

Ann- you have two weddings listed on Nov 1. Is that right? I can't believe how many Oct & Nov weddings there are! Wohooo. You girls must be getting so pumped- especially Yari!

Adorable photos! I love the ones on the dock. Your hair is soooo cute and you have some sexy legs girlfriend!

WOW. Those photos are breathtaking Jason. For real. It reminds me of some little alien planet (in a good way!)

I'm hoping that you gals can help me out I've picked the songs I'd like to walk down the aisle to but I just need to know how long the walk is? I've picked Led Zepplin's Bron Yr Aur (2 min) and Lenny Kravitz Butterfly (2 min). Is that too short? I'm still reading through all the posts and I have a ton of questions so don't mind me if I send personal messages..don't want to blog up this forum. Thanks a bunch! I think 2 mins is easily enough. You start your bridal entrance just around the bend of the steps. They start the music and Nicole tells you to go. About 10 steps down, everyone will be able to see you. Then you walk the large stair case and the short aisle. It goes VERY quickly. Especially if you sprint! I don't think the song I had was longer than 2 mins. I don't remember it playing- it's all a blur but I know for sure it wasn't silence by the time I reached the front!

OMG- the veil is perfect with the dress. Thank god I'm already married or I would seriously rip that veil off your head and steal it! So beautiful. Wonderful choices.

Wow Jenn. I'm going to talk to you more often. THank you so much for all the compliments though. You are the sweetest. Where are you getting married at in Vegas?

I cut my hair off and dyed it brown a month or so after the wedding. I was ALWAYS a blondie so I was scared to go dark. I'm happy how it turned out though. Thanks for the compliment!

Oh owwwiee!!! That sounds so painful Lizz! Does that mean you get a freebie ER visit too? Our deductible is outrageous for ER visits.

I did. At little white chapel- at least I think that was the name! We did the drive thru with our taxi driver. LOL

Go late as possible. I got mine at like 11pm, drunk off my ass. Of course, it wasn't a rush hour time like you are facing! Plus you won't have to face the heat!

Well for what it's worth- I love the little pouches too. I think they will be perfect for chapsticks and room keys. Your right- mine was always hard to find in the bottom of my bag.

What's their return policy? That sucks. I've only ordered a few things and loved them. Hopefully they will work with you.

LOL- good idea. Even better to make his ass clean it all up.
