BillysBride

I'll post some pics in the morning. Today has been brutal and right now, I just wanna eat something and catch up on messages. I'm not over worried about selling it..if no one here wants it, I'll put it on Ebay next week. I already did that once and the dress sold in like two days for forty bucks more than I wanted to get. Thats one reason it doesn't worry me to buy online...there's always someone who wants a gown that doesn't work out for another bride! This is dress #3..lol. I should probably be ashamed to admit that, but hey..I'm keeping one of 'em.

Ugh, and I only get to pick one? Best- smile Worst- nose and ladies..you have the first black woman in the history of America who needs more ass. It really is a damn shame. I see chicks talk about what having kids did to their boobs all the time, but let me tell ya about how these babies let the air outta my back tires....

Speaking on both....it isn't about the method of attachment that determines damage; it's about the method of REMOVAL. Bonding can be safe for your hair, but you MUST have it removed correctly. Pulling it out or even use the removing solution incorrectly can lead to damage. You also need to be careful that when you attach it, it's attached at the base of the hair shaft, not the scalp. If you have a good remover and a fine toothed comb, you should be able to get them out without damage to your hair. Clips ARE difficult for women with fine hair....the reason being they can leave noticeable lumps AND it will depend on the style you want. You only have a limited amount flexibility with clips. Just by the nature of what they are, they can be bulky..a lot like having hair sewn in. So..I'd just say it makes a difference whose doing it for you, what kind of hair you have naturally and if you are going to want them out before you come home.

I actually think it's a compliment and not rude. That is NOT saying you should feel obligated to invite them..not at all. I just think that anyone who thinks they are friendly enough that an invite is a given says a lot about the type of feelings you inspire. I'd stick with a straight forward "It's going to be very small." and let people figure it out themselves. When they don't get an invite, they will think back to that explaination and say "Oh, wow. She really did mean small" instead of "That bitch!" like they might if you go with "We're only inviting close friends and family"...afterall, to me that just says "You are not close enough." lol But that's just me and I'm notorious for worrying too much about other's feelings when I shouldn't.

We're using mywedding.com too. It's great, and I've not had any problems with it. They even happened to have a background that matches my colors. Also they have the music option too, and I had a hard time finding a site that offered the option of full length song clips. Besides..ya can't beat "free". lol

Morgan, you're sounding mighty...experienced. I kid! I kid! lol...yea, you can pretty much guess what a kid that age would be needing with an undetectable hiding spot. lol

Below the e-ring!

WOW..amazing work and I'm not even finished looking through the site yet. I see he's coming to Chicago...I might try for it. Need to think...

The only thing I haven't changed is the GM attire. That's it. Everything else from my colors to the location..definitely different than when I started. Thanks for posting this. Now I don't feel so damn fickle. lol

So, I got this from a bridal shop online. It was a store sample, but honestly I can't see any wear or tear to it at all. It's a size 12 with a lace up/corset back, so it can go up or down from 10-14. Tolli was Sottero's head designer, so if didn't see the tag with her name on it, I'd swear it was a Maggie...same style. There is nothing wrong with the gown. I just don't want it because it's white and when I bought it, the woman told me the inventory list stated it as "Ivory" but she couldn't tell in the warehouse lighting. Umm..yea, it's white. It really is beautiful and if I weren't so anal about my wedding colors, I'd keep it and use it. At any rate, I'm only trying to get my investment back, which thankfully, wasn't much. I'll take Best Offer for it. I paid $250 + shipping. They were liquidating all of the 2007 samples so I got it for a steal. I'll try to post some pics of the actual dress tonight. For now, here are the photos from the Tolli web site.

Girl, you are WEARING that frock, ya hear me? lol It's gorgeous and you need to pass along your upper body work out cuz you've got some Tina Turner arms workin for you! Fantabulous!

LOL..Sharon is losing it, but the funny thing is now Syphyllis (lol..sorry, I can't resist) is losing it faster. What goes around......know what I mean? Can't stand her. As far as I know, Sharon and Nick should be reunited this next week...."Phick" is done. It's tough...there are a lot of storylines that I have -0- interest in and some that I love and can't wait to see. The only thing that is just absolutely killing me is the whole Victor/MJ/Jack thing. I do not care about Victor and wish that he would go out into the sunlight so he can turn to dust already. I haven't talked to Daniel since....Wednesday I think. He called on his way to the gym so he was sorta busy and we didn't get to talk much. Still, I should hear from him sometime this next week, so if he gives me any juicy stuff I'll pass it along for sure.

Wow...does she realize that you and others were worried sick about her? If something is going on, it's up to her to tell you..her choice. BUT, I'd make sure I let her know that a.) I was there and ready to help if there was anything she needed and b.) I was good and pissed off that she dropped off the planet for 2 weeks and didn't think it necessary to let anyone know. I hope we're all wrong and nothing is going on with her....still, sketchy doesn't even begin to cover her behavior. I'd call it downright suspect.

Our quads will be 4 when we get married...and we are not bringing them to Mexico. The reasons are both selfish and UNselfish. As a parent, I know that the need to oversee and take care of does not stop just because there are others present, willing to help out. I know I would be too distracted worrying every moment about where they are, if they had eaten, were they too close to the water, strangers, etc. is no way I could NOT mother them and just be a bride.Yea, there are four of them, so it's a bit different but the logic is the same. If you can be a BRIDE and not just mom, that's one thing. On the flip side of that, there is a safety issue to consider. We COULD try to bring someone along solely to look after the kids...but who wants to go on a trip and hole up in a room the entire time? On top of that, there is the additional expense.....airlines don't care how tiny the butt's are that fill the seats. It's just not practical for us, BUT our kids are young and the sentimental value of them being present isn't quite the same as I'm sure it is for you. They won't understand the sentimentality so much, but will miss us certainly. We WILL involve them in our legal day. You have to make this decision based on what you feel is best for your son and what YOU can live with, not anyone else.

OK, I've tried to resist for 3 days now...and failed miserably. Gotta throw my hat into the ring! Sending you guys an email right now!

Eeeeeeeee! I'm so excited for you. You looked AMAZING, that dress was rockin! Love the sock shot too...can't wait for more!

This was FH's logic. I actually debated it with him because I originally wanted to switch so that we could experience a different local, but he said he didn't want to spend any part of our time away traveling and unpacking for a second time. I caved, and now that I've done some researched, I'm really happy with staying the entire time. We'll arrive a day before the guests, and then stay three days after, so hopefully that will give us enough "alone" time to feel like we had a honeymoon on our own.

Awww, Shelley! You look AMAZING. LOVE your dress and your hair is so intricate and beautiful! Eeeeeeeeee! I'm excited for you. You're one of the ladies I remember from when I first registered here and you've always been so sweet. CONGRATS you look stunning!

Hello, Tiffany and You're gonna love it here!

I just LOVE old Hollywood glam...the colors just pop and those are sooooo cute! Wish I lived closer.

Well, finally..here's what's going out on ours. Please return this preliminary RSVP by July 31, 2009. __ Order our margaritas. You beach ya, we'll be there! __ # attending __ Shorely, we'll try to make it. __ Sorry, we're all tide up and must wave your invitation. Name______________

You lucky thing being able to AFFORD fireworks. LOL! I think theres one other bride here that I've seen that did them, but I'm not sure of her name. Maybe do a search? I think, really you would be fine with anything after the sun really set, but I think doing them for your first dance would be really something.

Just personal opinion here..I think it's a tad too much. One song for the groomsmen/groom, a song for the bridesmaids including maid/matron of honor, then a song for the bride's entrance. Thats three songs in the span of probably about five minutes total. lol..more than enough.

I sound like a broken record these days, I know...but Ebay! You don't even have to get a used gown, lots of salons sell their discontinued stock there.
