She currently has breathing tube and feeding tube down her throat which is causing so much pain....due to all the pain, they have heavily sedated her. The other doctor thinks that doing some new techniques could help, she will be in much less pain and she will be stable for several more weeks once she gets better nutrients and health back....that was such good news for everyone to hear! I love BDW and was happy to get support from your gals' here- thanx~* that is wonderful news.

But now I have hope that I will have pretty white teeth for my wedding! Woo hoo! my mom did the instant thing & wasn't thrilled. She still has to use something like whitestrips from her dentist. with teeth that are already white it won't take long to get your teeth gleaming for the wedding.

LOL We just have different opinions of how our money should be spent- i'm conservative and he's a bit more free spirited with the money so we sometimes clash heads. We knew this before the "I Do's" so we aren't shocked. It's not something we can't work through though. that was our struggle. i losened up a little & he tightned up. We are both really happy with the change. I was still living in broke undergrad mode. So to try to get me to relax he was splurging on me. It was stressful! We are much better at being a team now. I'm excited to see how our money sharing strategy goes. I love to invest & save. When I see a nice return or reach a savings goal I want to come home & share it with mike. But, I know it will feel much better when it's our money and we can reach these goals together.

i picked other because we don't fight about the same thing over & over. it's usually that one of us got snippy with the other & the fight is about being polite to each other. Maybe any of those hot topics could trigger the snippiness. I'm a total mess & I'm sure he doesn't like it, but we don't fight about it all the time. I try to clean when he asks me too, but I enjoy living in clutter. it's how I function. We just keep seperate spaces. We fought about money when we first started dating, but we've resolved those differences & I think we have a really healthy money relationship. That was so important to me because money was the main thing that drove my parents apart. So we don't see eye to eye on many things but I feel like over 4 yers of living together our communication has gotten better.

People laugh at us when we tell them, but then they realize how much sense it makes. We have slept wonderfully every night since, and I recommend it to everyone hehe We have our own sheets. We tried to share at first so we have full sized sheets & a comforter. So now it just covers me & hangs off the bed. I've said that when we move I want two full sized beds together. Mike gets up a lot earlier than me & he takes his comforter with him when he moves into the living room to stay warm. I told him he was giving me nightmares because I'd see this cloaked figure walking out of the room when I was half asleep.

Well, without the ruffles. Those ruffles do look like daisy duke in training.

Honestly, we didn't need anything so we registered even though we didn't want to. Now I have a bunch of stuff we didn't really need. I would have preferred cash but how can you just say "write me check or slip me some $20s?" We also have a $250 gift card to a store and we have no idea how to spend it. We don't really like anything there! But then again, I don't really have an uptight crowd that follows etiquette rules. Some of that stuff just seems so silly to me. I agree. Everyone just wants money but for some reason we have to register for house stuff instead. I love the gifts that have been rolling in, but I was fine without them. It's the big wedding machine. Sell more stuff. I agree it's tacky to stick a deposit slip in the invite, but wouldn't we all love it if it wasn't?

and now for my MOH magic trick. I tug on the table cloth and viola...oops sorry carly. Yeah, you were right I should have just stuck to a reading or something more traditional.

If I stay up too late mike "goes diagonal" across the bed. Once we have a home we are getting a king. we slept on a king during a vacation. I loved it & he said it was lonely.

Quote: Originally Posted by Alyssa that is what i think too Morgan, especially b/c you are having a more traditional at home wedding. i think we all get it b/c we are all brides in the middle of getting married and paying for these little details but most guests are not thinking about this stuff! yeah & most non-brides don't understand the cost of photographers. But, I like the diea of stating that it is for prints & photobooks. My friend is having a beautiful wedding, but her photography budget is tiny. I'd love to pitch in for her to get someone better instead of buying her something off the registry. Instead I'm shopping around for someone great closer to her budget. I found a guy I really like if she decided to spend $1,600 instead of $1,000. I also worked on finding her dress for less. So brides get it. Photography really matters. Will your aunt understand? maybe not. But, there are choices for what to get someone.

We used to share a twin! Now a full is feeling crowded. I had trouble adjusting to him waking me up in the morning. I got an ocean sounds CD (I uploaded the mp3 to the forum is you want it) and I sleep great. We have been living together for 4 years. The main change after the wedding will be combining money. We are devising a game plan now. We have been splitting everything, but since we got engaged we don't really bother to write the grocery costs on the list. I'll be happy to chunk that list & not have to keep track of everything. Less paperwork.

I would be happy to pitch in on a photographer, but I wondered if it would feel to some people like pitching in on the wedding cost.

What? You are the one who said I should get the grande at starbucks.

hay baby, your sink or mine?

What happens when you let the PR firm of Samantha Jones & Associates take over for your business image

can you get a new TA? my TA always tells me to stop getting involved & let her handle the guests questions.

I might do it, but leave the info on your website & not do the inserts. I'd rather pitch in for a photographer than buy someone a set of tea cups. But, I do think that is a bride thing. If I recieved a registry to help cover the cost of catering I'd think WTF.

yikes! that is a tacky tie I would be scared to see her dancing.

mine are as thick as my cardstock & the cover of a paperback book. I don't put them in envelopes & they arrive fine. I've been really happy with them.

i've always been really impressed with mine. i wonder if yours are defective. i've seen mine on people's desks & they are in great shape after going through the mail. I'll go compair the thickness...

It is kind of annoying having to place them on your teeth and the taste is nasty to me. Other than that they are great. the "don't swallow" rule is probably because of the hydrogen peroxide. it's really damaging to cells. I think the best is just to use it a little. I imagine their are some bleach-a-holics like with anything that might be causing damage. You can also get a chemical burn from too much hydrogen peroxide. I stress my e. coli out with hydrogen peroxide.
