Those came out great! Thanks for sharing!

Thats a pretty veil! The detailing is great. Congrats on a perfect match!

Beautiful pics! They look sooo happy. I really can't wait to see some more & hear everything.

I went to Target last weekend & happened to pass by the dollar bins & they had ton's of the cutest flip flops. The bad thing is that they were all for women. They were different shades of pink & some had hearts while the others had some other design. But, they're all pink.

They came out great!

Beautiful dress. I'm sure you'll get it in time & they'll have the alterations done in time. Congrats on finding the one!

I still havent quite figured out what I'm doing. I'm thinking about being barefoot but I definitely need a heel so I'll probably be going with some sandals/flip flops with a slight heel for the ceremony & for the reception. But I'll def have flip flops on standby just in case.

Great deal! And very cute.

Glad that you found the one! That dress looks noce & flowy. Can't wait to see your pics. Congratulations!!!

Thanks for posting this. I've been going back & forth about bags & haven't ordered anything yet. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to do iron on transfers or something. This may be such a great deal that I may just get these & give them out as they are.

That was a great idea! I'm sure they'll love it.

Hopefully my items won't weigh that much. I really just want to ship 25 photo albums and 25 parasol umbrellas so that I don't have to take up so much space in my luggage. Definitely keep us updated with what she says. I might consider this depending on the cost.

Thanks sooo much ladies. I kept thinking about it all night & figured that I'd just keep my girls. As so many of you have mentioned, I think anything goes with a DW. I feel much better about it after reading that many of you are doing the same thing. But really, what the hell is up with our FI's friends? I don't get it at all. Especially since these are guys he's grown up with. But like you said, I'm not worrying about them & they won't be in the wedding even if they show up. And no Martha, having them be ushers isnt bad, its cute. LOL. Thanks again ladies. You're great as usual.

I agree that it sounds like you want something in between. Just keep looking & you'll definitely know when you've found the one. The minute you put it on you won't want to take it off or you'll think its not the one, go home & that dress will be on your mind constantly. I thought I found the one & the day I went to order it I saw another dress in a magazine. I decided to try it on just for fun & that wound up knocking the other one out. It's also not what I would consider beachy but its not over the top & I love it. Get what you like & what makes you feel beautiful. Also, try on things you wouldn't normally consider. Relax & have fun with it. Oh, are you taking pictures of yourself in the dresses?

So I initially had 1 MOH & 2 BM's. Now I find out that my FI's dead-beat friends who were to be his GM, haven't booked & are saying that they won't know for sure if they can attend. I'm like ok, whatever, your friends suck. I don't know why they're being difficult but knowing them they'll book last minute. Whatever they do at this point, we're not relying on them & they will not be in the wedding. I can't count on anyone who's wishy washy & don't want to plan for them to be in it & then they don't come. But anyway, I've already asked my girls to be in the wedding. I mentioned to 1 BM that FI may only have 1 GM or none at all & I wasn't sure what I was gonna do. She said that she didn't know why that would be a problem & that they could still be BM's & walk by themselves. FI says that 1 of his friends has booked & is definitely going to be there. He may just have him as his BM. What do you think? Should I still have all of my BM's with no GM & 1 best man, or forget the whole thing & have no bridal party? Or if FI has his best man should I just have my MOH? I am too stressed out. Thanks in advance.

You may want to contact someone just to be certain! I would be so upset to have my day messed up due to a technicality! Actually we're arriving on the 8th. I think I said the 9th by mistake & got that confused with the day our parents are arriving. Thanks so much for bringing that up tho, cuz trust me, I would have been A COMPLETE MESS had I gotten there & they told me that they couldn't marry us. Talk about a nut case!!!!! You would've seen me on the news. Thanks again & feel free to drop by on the 11th!

I got some smoothies too, but really don't like milky stuff very much, and milk doesn't settle well with me anyway. Do you know how annoying it is that there are no Waffle House's in New York, at least NY City The only time I get to eat there is when we're headed down to Maryland or North Carolina. I mean I guess its good that they don't have one near cuz if they did me & FI would be in troubllllee! Anyway, have you tried the different flavors of Activia? Vanilla is great, so is strawberry. And definitely add some granola or strawberries/blueberries. That should really help. I don't know how healthy it is but the McDonalds parfait is GREAT! In terms of smoothies why don't you make fruit smoothies without milk? I use a cup of yogurt, a cup of OJ, half of a frozen banana (or the whole thing depending on your taste), frozen peaches & frozen strawberries. Put it in the blender & you've got yourself a great treat. If its not sweet enough for you add a bit of sugar & that should help. You can try it with any type of fruit you like but always add the frozen banana. If its too thick at first, just add more OJ till it gets to your desired consistency.

Stephanie, you are definitely not overeacting considering this guy's past. Have you shared the info with her that you found regarding the background check or are you keeping that btwn you & your sister? I don't know what else I would do that you're not doing. I guess by trying to support her you'll keep the door open for communication, which would be good because you can keep an eye on her & look out for anything shady. I can imagine how hard this is for you but just keep hanging in there & hope for the best.

Awww...Hope you had the best day ever!

Wow...you look great in all 3 of them. I agree with you tho, I love the 1st one, especially the lace & the sash. The 2nd one looks great as well. The top & the back are fabulous! I think those 2 flatter you the most. The 3rd one is ok. I do like the top of it & the bottom of it-how it flares out. So how did you feel in them Did you feel that any of those 3 were the one? Can't wait to see the rest.

I love both of those dresses! #1 is really beautiful, definitely beachy & flowing. #2 is great as well. Enjoy yourself tomorrow & have lots of fun! I hope you find the one! Can't wait to see your pics.

Ashleigh everything looked wonderful. I love all of your colors & the pics are great. You guys look like you had a wonderful time. Congratulations.

WELL, now i'm all lost and confused because i want to wear my dress again(b/c it's the best!) it surely isn't a beach in vancouver all the time and I never wear flipflops to special occasions here, so why would i my wedding. so if i find cute wedge heels i'll hem it to that and just deal with tripping at my wedding. is that weird? I don't think its weird, it makes perfect sense. And I'm sure you won't trip!
