Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder

There are programs for doing this. I guess audacity is a program. I've been meaning to look into this. I'll try to do it soon so I can get back to you with info. I don't think it's hard to merge two songs. You just want them to blend together? Or are you mixing them up like a DJ? If you just want them to fade into each other that shouldn't be hard.

I'm ready for my wedding to be done in 2 months so I can stop worrying about my flight getting canceled!

Best- I like my legs. I got them from my mom. worst- my waist (always been thick even when I was tiny).

Great review. I can't wait to see your pictures. Any idea when Robin will have those ready? I'm glad everything worked out for you. I went to a camp once where the vegetarian option was iceburg lettuce & ranch dressing

We are chartering a van to take everyone to the ruins. I don't want to start the morning off picking people up at various hotels, especially if they are out of the way. I wasn't planning on taking a phone & wouldn't know how to be in communication with people if they are not at our hotel. If I thought about the day passes simply as not wanting to pay so I had more money to spend elsewhere I would feel differently. I do feel bad about the whole day pass thing though. I don't like that it would feel like a cover charge on our wedding so I'm just really hoping no one books elsewhere. But, when I get invited to weddings it costs me a lot to go, too. I typically have to fly, get a hotel, sometimes rent a car, and most the time buy a BM dress. So I make a point to only go to a wedding if I really do want to go. If I don't really want to spend the money on a hotel, flight etc, I have no problem RSVPing no. I've tried really hard to make my guests feel comfortable doing the same. I know its worked and only people who really want a Mexico vacation are going.

They do it somewhere in the US. Mike wants to enter. He likes to practice carrying me. He thinks he has the best strategy but it's miserable for me.

That is self centered. I've never even thought about going to watch a friend graduate college. Those things are so boring. I didn't even want to go to my own graduation. At my school you celebrate earning your class ring more than you celebrate graduating.

She doesnt want to be in another country & possibly have a complication. it's her first pregnancy & i understand her concern. I personally wouldn't want to take a trip if I could avoid it. I knew she was trying to get pregnant before we got engaged & I told her when we first announced the wedding to not consider my wedding a reason to stop trying. I'll miss having her there, but I think starting a family is much more important than making it to my wedding. She flew out this weekend to see me instead of attending the wedding. We had a great time. She has just a little baby bump right now. I knew stuff like this could interfer with people being able to make it. That was a big reason why I decided not to have BMs. I will definitly share a video & pictures. I never though about a web cast. Does the hotel set that up? If you have a web cast will you let us watch it

Can you imagine inviting people to a wedding at home and hoping you can afford to accomadate them for example like asking them to pay for their plate, or charging them a cover fee to enter your wedding venue, it would be awful. We defnitely made sure that in case people stayed somewhere ese we would pay for them to actually attend our wedding considering they had spent thousands to actually get to our location, and I would assume if they were staying elsewhere, like Rachel said, then chances are they couldn't afford to stay on your resort, I certainly would not penalize them for that. I have strong opinions on this, I just feel that we do all sorts of things such as oot bags to make our guests feel welcomed, and then to do such an unwelcoming thing as charge a covercharge for your wedding seems kind of crazy to me, again just the opinion of someone in your big picture who really doesn't matter:) Oh I would however be careful of paaying for some guests passes and not others, it will always get out and then you will have people upset and hurt wondering why they didn't measure up. I think you should pay for all or none. I do not plan on paying. I totally see the other side to the argument too. I actually agree with it for certain cases. I just want to explain my feelings about it. here are my reasons for not paying: ~We picked one of the cheapest hotels in the area & worked very hard to get our guests good rates for travel. I do not think they could do it for cheaper unless they stayed somewhere pretty crummy & ate at cheap places. I've made it so easy for people to say they can not afford to go without feeling guilty. ~Our guests are not spending thousands. They are spending $600-$800. It was going to be less until airfair prices shot up this summer. I have gotten so many responses from people that they can't believe how cheap the trip is. ~I really want us all together. I am so excited about the group vacation aspect of a DW. I feel that if someone stays somewhere else they will regret the did that. They will miss out on so much & I can't see how they would save any money. I actually think in the end it would cost more even without the day pass fee. ~Honestly, if people are not staying at our hotel I would rather they don't go. I wanted a small group of no more than 30 people & preferably closer to 20. I want this to be a great group vacation that brings our friends & family together. If people are staying elsewhere, we'd only see them the day of the wedding. I want us to have an entire weekend together. I'm planning my wedding with the idea that it's a group vacation that includes a wedding, unlike many people who are planning the wedding primarily. I don't feel this means I am not taking the wedding aspect seriously. I've just never been into ceremonies & weddings, so I chose a DW because I'd rather put together a group vacation. If I was doing anything extravagant for my wedding, I might feel differently. I'd rather pay for day passes than decorations, flowers, champagne. But, I'm doing everything really cheap & simple. Also, if I picked an expensive hotel I'd feel differently. Or maybe if we were in an area that had cheaper hotels nearby. When the actual day comes around, if there are a couple people who need a day pass, we probably will pay it. if someone had a situation where they won a free stay at an area hotel, we'd offer to pay for the pass. But, it would really hurt my feelings if friends come to the wedding and chose to stay without us to save maybe $25 per day. Why go so far & spend $600-$800 only to miss out on the majority of the fun? if all they want to see is the ceremony, I feel like they might as well just watch the video. I want the wedding to be filled with our closests friends & family who want to enjoy the entire weekend with us. So I think a big part of the divide comes down to what someone wants for their wedding. For me the staying together in the hotel is a huge part of it.

Did the girls just die over their gift from you? Those photos were so funny! they did enjoy the books. one of my friends was convinced i also photoshopped in her arm for one of the pictures.

I saw on oprah that marks on your shoulders means you bra is not tight enough aound your body. So if you are wearing a 36C, you might actually need a 34D. I think it was 75% of the support should come from the bra not the straps, but most women let the straps do the supporting. You might want to go somewhere to get properly sized.

Quote: Originally Posted by SoontobeMrsE Oh my Gosh - I am cracking up!! Morgan it looks like you guys had a great time! I agree...those pants should be THE Bachelorette party pants for BDW! We could send them around and make sure they end up in everyones BP photos! That is great. if someone wants them pm me. they are a size 5. i'm a 7 now, so i left them unzipped.

I did something similar for my rental insurance, but I took pictures instead of a video. I should probably update it. I just took pictures of each area of the apartment.

Quote: Originally Posted by DanielleNDerek Love the patriotic wear. Too funny. I don't know about eating a penis cake, especially the choc sprinkles and i'm picturing what they probably did with the icing. lol After several drinks, it's hard to turn down cake no matter what shape it's in.

Quote: Originally Posted by Kat81 OMG! Chocolate sprinkles! The image in my mind made me gag a little LMAO... Then I won't tell you what they did with the icing

That was them Here is what they looked like finished http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t18266 The girls really enjoyed them. So far I've passed out 5. 1 girl will get hers in May when she drive up here & the other 2 will get them in mexico. I was so anxious to give them out that I did it as soon as they walked in the door.

Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel First- I love the sunglasses. I needed to own those in college because some of the pictures that people used to catch of me were ridiculous. I needed a black bar. Second- those outfits look like a typical Saturday night for my girls. haha- some people just never grow out of the "skanky" stage I suppose. Looked like fun, can't wait to see the penis cake. Sounds delish. Yeah, the outfits really were not that bad. Some girls are in typical clothes, but others have on sillier stuff. I don't go to clubs anymore so I don't have a use for shiny red pants & low cut shirts. The funniest thing about the cake was girls requestion what part they wanted. I heard "I'd like some shaft please", "just a little tip for me", and "give me a piece of the balls." I had a piece of the ball because it had chocolate sprinkles on it. Seriously, the attention to detail on this cake was distubing.

Quote: Originally Posted by xandrafaye LOL looks like you gals had a blast!! I personally think the red pants are way better than the sunglasses... might have to borrow those bad boys! I wore them all the time in college. It was a little sad that they no longer can be zipped up on me. I just put a longer, flowy shirt over them. My friend had some sort of thing for pregnant women, but she didn't bring it with her (she's pregnant). How sad is that to wear a belly band to fit into your college clothes? I was jelous of her maternaty pants. They look so comfy. The red pants can be like the traveling starfish

Quote: Originally Posted by Kat81 Morgan! Looks like so much fun! I wish I had been there lol. The black bar sunglasses are hilarious! You could have sung "the yellow rose of texas" with us! I bought this cheap karaoke set that came with 100 songs. Most were out of the public domain so it was full of stuff like "she'll be coming 'round the mountain." So the Texas girls sang the yellow rose of texas.

Quote: Originally Posted by AmandaB The black bar sunglasses crack me up! Looks like fun! Here is another

A little karaoke (my voice is still shot) Some friends bought me this crazy outfit with a patriotic vest & a cowboy hat. It also came with a whip They also gave me a victoria secret giftcard that I already used to get swimsuits for the trip. I really needed some new suits. My friend had us play a game where everyone had to take squares of toilet paper. Then they had to tell a Morgan story for each square. It was really sweet & funny. It's funny to know what things make an impression on people. I loved my bachelorette party & weekend with my girls. It was just what I wanted. We had such a fun time. Oh, I forgot to mention the penis cake. Hopefully someone got a picture of it. The detail that went into that cake was pretty disturbing. It was delicious though. Red velvet (which is gross for a penis cake) but tasted great. We still have plans for bachelorette party round 2. We want to go dancing some night. We did this party pretty early because that's when my friends were flying up.

Three of my friends flew up from Texas this weekend. We had a wonderful time. They had been up since 3am, but we still stayed up past 2am talking the first night. I gave them their honorary BM gifts as soon as we got to my apartment. Then we went to the Duke gardens to see the tulips. It was a beautiful day. The next day it was rainy, so we stayed in & played Dance Dance Revolution & Singstar. We also watched all of R. Kelly's "trapped in the closet." Much better than I expected. That night was my bachelorette party. The theme was "college going out attire." Basically skanky club clothes. It started when I tried to give away these shiny red pants at a clothes swap. A friend gave me sunglasses with a black bar on them so I don't have to photoshop myself out of embarassing pictures Here are some girls in their silly outfits
