BillysBride

Anyone heard of, or buy one of her dresses? I just stumbled across her web site, and she has some STUNNERS! According to her bio, she was head designer for Maggie Sottero for 10 yrs...you can definitely see it in her style. Just thought I'd throw her out there. I'm probably far behind the times and just hadn't heard of her before now.

Gorgeous! What a great fit, you look amazing. And truthfully? I don't even think you need a necklace, but hey...either way, you're gonna be fab!

My girl's are wearing this one, in this color which is Harvest Gold. It's Alfred Angelo. I'm giving them the option of having a bolero in Chocolate or Truffle made of chiffon. That's for those who are a bit more self conscious about showing shoulders/arms. Why, I dunno. I'm warning them that it's going to be spring in Mexico..nobody is truly going to WANT to be covered up.

drat double post

WOW...great find! Definitely going to order our programs from them. Thanks for sharing! Please do share some pics!

All I know is that it will be COTTON. Whether its a though or reggie briefs...COTTON. Coochie's do not need to sweat on wedding days.

Everyone should know that these are not insulated mugs (neither the ones I used nor the dollar store ones) like the more expensive ones. They are more like a cup with a lid that looks like an insulated mug. But they save you a lot of money. I laminated my inserts as I was worried that water would leak inside and ruin my inserts. It added about 1$ per mug to have them laminated (had it done at Staples). Hmm..thanks! These may be my back up plan if I can't find them in a Dollar store locally.

The only person I'll defend is my boy Cane. Blood doesn't make a parent and when you're anticipating a child, building your ENTIRE life around it, making the ULTIMATE sacrifice FOR that child...six months is long enough to form a life long bond. He flipped his life upside down for that baby, and that isn't a switch you can just turn off when someone tells you "yo, it's not your kid". Love is deeper than that, especially if you're just a good person the way he is. PLUS add to this equasion the fact that he knows to wipe his hands of the child means leaving her to Billy and Chloe as parents? Forgetaboutit. I don't know if I'd be able to do it either. They're both pathalogical narcissists. No child is safe having them as an example. I know the time will come when there will be a resolution to this, and it's not going to be Cane raising that kid. Still, I give him props and cut him a whole lot of slack for what he's doing. Yea, I'm biased, but I think I'd still feel the same way about the storyline regardless. Oh, and Victor's swimmers should have stopped movin' long ago. The fact that they still have him fathering children is beyond me.

I agree w/ those above who said that if you're worried about the extra cost maybe think about making them yourselves or even doing an email version. Maybe check out Evites, you can design your own or pick from their designs - their e-invites are nice because they send email reminders as the date gets closer. Wedding / Engagement Invitations from Evite -- Free & Easy You and MarieSam have me thinking. Whenever possible, I tend to find a compromise in the middle when I'm stuck on something. I do NOT have the Martha Stewart gene my mother has (I swear, she's the black Martha..no joke) so I knew going in that I wasn't going to do them all myself. I'm doing the ticket jackets and thats a big enough stretch for my lack luster DIY skills. SO, I'm thinking I'll do e-vites for the wedding party, EXCEPT for the two girls I have coming from out of state who I hardly ever get to see or talk to. Probably sounds a lil' sheisty, but the other girls I literally talk to almost every day in one way or another. That sort of makes a difference to me for some reason (please don't ask me why, I honestly don't know). So I think I'll design some to send via internet for four of the girls, but send the formal std's to the other two. Thanks for the input ladies!

That's the thing, Nic is right. What's good to one bride isn't good to another. What I did was find photographers who have the shooting style that I love, then from that list weeded it down to those I felt I could afford. Two completely different things:) You need to know what you like first of all. Then work down from there. Thats the best advice I can give.

Oh, they look GREAT! I really love your jackets!

LOVE them....looks like it's back to Dollar Tree. Neverending search for travel mugs continues...

This is the one I'm going to take a stab at making....from Marthastewart.com Shell Bouquet

Hmmm..what part of Hawaii? I figure there HAS to be some bakeries that you can work with, even on short notice. It might even turn out better if you got a cake from a local supermarket and then took it in to be embellished/decorated. Even a supermarket cake would likely be better than the horrible one you tasted from the resort. There are some great sleuthers here on BDW. If you narrow down the search area for bakeries, I'm sure we can come up with something. And what's your deadline?

Awww..just beautiful. And your face is glowing, so that makes the photos even more so!

Girl, you are the bride....hasn't anyone told you that your word is LAW yet?? lol They are all gorgeous, nice choices! I SO love your receptiond dress too! Where did you find it, if ya don't mind my asking? I'd love something like that for my welcome/reheasal dinner.

Ugh, are you kiddin' me? They JUST did this six-eight months ago. Geez..but damn, what are ya gonna do? If it's The One, then ya just have to bite the bullet...

Hmm....please report back with any experiences using them in the heat. I know I'm gonna need SOMEthin' to give the girl's a lil' lift.

Victoria Rowell was NOT happy when she left and evidently she had good reason. For a veteran actress with her fan base, she wasn't treated right from what I've heard. At any rate, if I hear anything I'll definitely post. The Dru card is something I've wondered when they would throw out ever since her ass went into the ravine. lol Sharon is losin' it. And the fly-aways in her hair drive me as nuts as she is. I just wanna get some product and smooth her hair down every time I see her. Today (Canadian ep), Lily and Cane face off with Billy and Chloe. They are making this a real couple vs. couple thing....I'm still waiting for Lily to give Chloe the beat down she so richly deserves.

Beautiful photos, Danielle!

My Target doesn't have them!! I'm so ticked. If anyone is going back to the store this weekend, I'd be so grateful if they would pick up a dozen of these for me. I can PayPal you for the books + shipping. I just hate to let this deal get away!

Really, really pretty! I love the lines...so simply elegant. Nice. Congrats!!!

Glad to have you here....welcome and happy planning!
