A lot of us had a pretty clear image of what we liked until we tried it on & saw it wasn't right for us. So don;t take what your FI thinks would look good too seriously. I would think if a guy was looking through a bridal magazine he'd pick the dresses he likes based on how they look on the girl, not the actual dress. I think guys have trouble judging just the clothes.

Wow! That is rough! I can't believe he didn't warn you. But, maybe things will be better once you talk all this out with your FMIL. Good luck!!

Only problem is, I might be taller then Matt in them... Sorry for tempting you with all these great shoe websites! Wait & use the two weeks to shop around & find them at a better price. Or wait for a sale. Endless has them every so often. I'll see if I can find any.

They match 110%. Shoes.com matches 115%. I think how it works is if their shoes are listed for $100 & you find them elsewhere for $90, you pay this much: $100-$90=$10 (difference) x10%= $1 $90 (other price) - $1= $89 Make sense? Basically the 10% price match doesn't add up to a lot. But, just having a price match is great. There is also shoebuy.com, but their returns are not as easy. They are still good, just not as fast & simple as the others. Then amazon has a new shoe thing called endless.com. I haven't bought anything, but the website features are cool.

Also, check out shoes.com. They have the sort by color option too. And they usually have more sales & coupons. Here are a few i found They also have free shipping & returns $10 off $35+ coupon code FSNV6 expires 3/31/08 $40 + free shipping on $200+ exclusions apply coupon code MCSHOES expires 1/31/08 Works! 15% off purchase WAMU expires 1/31/08- $20 off $150+ order.

www.vistaprint.com/minicatalog use a link like this to get your postcards for free. I also have a thread on here somewhere about how to make a vista print postcard. Search isn't working, but advanced search is. There is tons of info about vista print on this forum, because many of us love it & use it often.

Have you tried finding your dress online? I used gownfind.com the other day & found a BM dress for $100 less.

Have you tried zaapos to sort by color? I wanted red wedge shoes & was happy to find them on zappos quickly.

Then you pay less and don't have to pay shipping. wow, thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

I was considering a margarita machine, but my mom gave me the idea to get a big drink despenser & make margaritas on the rocks. it would be a lot cheaper. You can also get a margarita machine at sam's for $180.

LOADS of fun! here is the info on the van tour: Transportation: Sinal Tours, an outstanding service and really the best prices around, the contact person is Jorge and this is his email: [email protected] The whole day, 8am-6pm, 11 people in the van, Coba ruins, cenote, tulum beach tour! $160 + tip cheers, mateo Thanks so much for the information, Matt. A bicycle tour sounds great for grandma!!! I can't wait to tell her tonight. I'll have to check out coba. Did your grandma go on the trip? Was she able to go to a cenote? I'd love to go to a cenote as a group & possibly ride a zipline through the jungle. But, everything we plan has to be grandma friendly. She is 80 and uses a walker or cane. Hopefully she is stronger by June (the trip has inspired her to work on her physical therapy) but we can't count on that. I can't wait to be in Mexico with my family!!!!

Gallery Project Details Here is a cool one from a NYC trip. They must have used some other software to design it. I thought these would be limited to shutterfly designed only. I guess not.

So it's not as great as I hoped. The wedding books are made with shutterfly templates, so there isn't a lot of variety. I have enjoyed the digital scrapbooking section. This book is awesome http://community.shutterfly.com/gall...0f4561e3b57419 It's a persons trip to croatia. I like how they combined pictures & text to tell the story of their trip.

http://community.shutterfly.com/gall...9e646590954e3f This is a new thing on shutterfly. It is a gallery of people's photobooks. I plan on browsing the wedding books today for ideas. I'll be making a friend's wedding photobook once her digital negatives come in.

If i see her soon i will ask her to send me some photos and will send it to you. Regards, Yazmin. Thank you! I really appreciate that!!!

But, for some reason my handwritting improves if I'm doing swirly letters or bubble letters. I think it's because in junior high instead of practicing my cursive, I was working on my bubble letters.

Great ideas! I love the scene setters from oriental trading for making the background. We had a prom party last year & made a cheesy backdrop for people to take pictures in front of. It was a blast. I was planning to go to party stores after cinco de mayo & get some dicounted decorations. Thanks everyone for the great ideas! I'm excited to start planning the party now.

My veil is very simple & it will be under the hair hanging straight down. So their is room for an updo, flower & veil.

Aqua & orange are the colors I wanted. I ended up using a darker blue, because it worked better with my logo & other stuff I printed. I don't have official colors though. Anything bright goes. I should stop talking to you about hair flowers, because I think I'm just making it harder for you.

Great job! they look perfect.
