try Women's Shoes, Men's Shoes, Kids' Shoes, Handbags - 6PM.com i once bought shoes for a weding i was in for $11! they were a basic strappy gold shoe. there's a lot of stuff so you may search for days, but the prices make it worth it.

they're beautiful! very simple and classy.

i know a few of us were following the whole bonnie and clyde drama going on in philly. in case you haven't heard rolling stone did a six page spread on jocelyn and ed. i've attached it. and just for fun, here's a picture of me and the awful fugitive circa 2005! joce2.pdf joce3.pdf joce1.pdf

i got a 100 on my ed psych test. woooo.

ok.. i'm a little worried about my cake. i'm going with whatever the resort gives. the last picture i saw had this sad little cake that looked like it was wilting and literally a bunch of grapes on top.. branches and all haha. so i have a day of the dead cake topper and some flowers to dress it up a little.

love them! but then again i'm partial because one of my moh is wearing the same in tangerine.

i bought mine from jcrew for about $150.

i'm still a little lost on this. morgan, are you renting a car? or are you doing taxis?

are you near manalapan at all? i was at the freehold raceway mall this weekend and they have them in that macys.

our 4 year anniversary will be just a few days before the wedding. we were together for a little more than 3 years when he proposed.

oh maura, i know exactly how you feel to a tee. my moh is my sister who is also 22. she has absolutely no clue. and she's in nursing school so has no time to help me with anything. i'm planning my shower and bachelorette party, i paid for her dress and shoes. it's tough not having the type of moh you can go to for help.

WTF. i just feel like my whole relationship is all me giving and her taking and that it is never going to change no matter how hard i try to get her to be a responsible adult. woooooooooo that felt good to get off my chest. thats not the only stuff bothering me but... thats good enough for my rant.

here are a few threads about honeymoon registries http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t8413 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t7968

we thought about a welcome dinner, but we're at an AI so we're doing a welcome party instead. we're taking over one of the bars and i had a sign made that they'll hang around the bar.

i've found it much easier to make smaller weekly lists, rather than huge overwhelming lists. soooo.. last week i: -had my first fitting -mailed my invites -bought my shower dress -made a sign for the guestbook table this week i am: -printing/attaching the tags for the petal toss -finalizing the design of the cd favors -picking up my dress -taking the bm dresses to be altered

had my first fitting today. here are some shots before it was pinned. don't mind my bra hanging out - i ended up getting cups sewn in. the best part is i get to pick it up next week! no waiting!

great dress- and you're so pretty!

i'm getting my dress fitted tomorrow!!! so excited!

also, keep in mind that it is much more expensive to mail a 6x6 invitation. i had my invites weighed and the postage should have been $.58 per invite but because of the square shape they were actually $.97. so it shoots up quite a bit- something to think of if your trying to cut costs or mailing a lot.

Is there a Microbiologist in the house? Hay uno microbiólogo en la casa? Are Tapirs indigenous to Riviera Maya? Tapirs son originarios de riviera maya?

congrats!!!!

the other thing with jcrew is they are very reliable with sizes so if i can't afford to buy in the store, i do a lot of ebay shopping with them. i just won both of these for a fraction of the store price.

My mom keeps telling us to not even consider a home that uses electric heat, but it seems like everything we like has electric! i have gas. there is a giant tank in my basement that i fill at my conveniance. so there's no monthly bill, but to fill it is about $700. i think it's better than a monthly payment because that $700 of gas will last me a long time.
