Oh how sweet! Sounds like you guys had a blast! Congratulations!

Wow - this is totally a power struggle. Hopefully Kevin will talk some sense into her.

Well - FMIL calls me earlier and said that her order for the blue matches and sewing kits didn't go through for some reason! WOO HOOO!! So she re-ordered everything and got it in my colors! I am SO HAPPY! I am so happy - I could do a happy dance!

Oh - what a sweetie! Jose is a keeper for sure! Lucky girl!

So anyways Kevin was about to call his mom and blow up on her and after calming him down I told him I would write her an email.... so let me know if this is nice yet assertive: Hey Jaci! Its not too late to stop everything. I can return it all and eat all the candy LOL! JK! But Kevin and I really think it would be fun to have, I think it would look nice and all the guests would enjoy it. But if you really dont want me to do it I wont. How does that sound? Havent sent it yet? NO - DON'T SEND IT! It's your wedding reception and if you want candy you should have it! Wait to see what Maura sends you and go from there! It's your day - not hers! Don't give in! You spent too much time and are so excited for her just to shoot your plans down.

Okay - while I appreciate all that everyone is doing for us - this happened yesterday. FMIL knew that we were in the process of changing the BM dresses and that we may change the wedding colors. We ended up changing our wedding colors from a royal/light blue/ivory to teal/light blue/ivory. Instead of waiting, FMIL orders us sewing kits for the OOT bags white with navy blue writing. Okay - no biggie since they are going in the OOT bags anyway. Then she orders navy blue matches for our cigar table. UGH.....she should have waited two days - what's the rush!!?? Then, my step mom - who is an Oriental Trading Junkie - orders us some sort of jewlery bag for our rings and bride and groom visors. Well, my FMIL already found us a light blue mini sombrero for our rings - which is something I asked her to look for when she went to Mexico. (I was going to tie our rings on the sombrero with a teal ribbon). So when step mom tells me about the jewlery bags - I'm like uh...ok..but I'm thinking to myself - what am I going to do with them? On Sunday we went to Target and found cute white baseball caps with "Bride" in rhinestones. (Yep - in the dollar bin!) When we get home FI says "I will never wear that crap". (He's too manly) So when stepmom tells me about the visors I'm thinking..oh great, she is going to pull it out and Shawn is going to laugh in her face. Then to top it off, she says, "The bride visor is kind of plain so I was going to decorate it with some flowers". FLOWERS!! WTF Her style is SO 1980's! I know stepmom is trying to help, but she keeps buying stuff we've already bought. She also told me she wanted to order some candles and mirrors for the tables. I told her to hold off until I hear from the WC. (I had to stop her frenzy somehow) I feel like if I don't pull them in some way, my wedding is going to end up looking like an episode of "My big Redneck Wedding" - only in Mexico! I absolutely appreciate the thought behind it, but now they are running amuck! How do I get them under control and say it without seeming like a Bridezilla?

Abbie, I saw these the other day at Party City. They are SO cute. Maybe you could use them as favors to go with the message in a bottle theme. They were $24.95

I don't know how I missed it either - but they are adorable! I like that you used colored sand. I want the palm tree stamps too!!

I WAS waiting with baited breath - how did you know? He he! That is so awesome that you and Maura got to meet! Man...I wish I looked that good at 2am! LOL!

OMG Mel - I LOVE those bags! I really like what you did with the glasses and the barefoot jewlery came out great! You did an amazing job!

Sorry I got to this late - but don't let it bother you. It sounds like you were the one making all of the effort anyway. You just can't please everyone all the time and she seems like she would be unhappy anyway. That's the last thing you want to have to deal with on your wedding is someone who can't be social. It's not your job to babysit!

OMG - 18. 21 and 23 had me cracking up! Those are hillarious!

I felt like Ambre was acting very fake. Why was she throwing up her arms like Heather with their "Rock" sign? Daisy did sound a little more intelligent on the reunion show. She cracked me up when she called Heather Stevie Nicks. OH - and did you see what's her face..l.the one who was causing all the drama...damn it I forgot her name....she ended up going back to her husband. Ambre looked even older with that hair do.

I haven't read any of the replies but I like # 1 and #10

OMG some of these replies are hillarious! Biggest turn off for me is when he comes to bed and makes a bee-line for the boobs. I HATE having my breasts groped. UGH that is the worst along with the tongue in the ear action - GROSS! Biggest turn on is a kiss on my neck hearing sweet nothings whispered in my ear.

Hope you are having a wonderful wedding day Tami! Enjoy it all!

OMG - that is terrible! What greedy little bastards! That is awful!

You go girl! I like the bridal one (the one in white) Very classy! You look FAB!!

YOU - OF COURSE! It's amazing how much time you can spend in that store. That is so funny that he has turned into Martha!

My new OYC for today: Dear Self, Don't be mad at Shawn's mom for backing out of paying for mariachi's for the wedding. She is paying for the rehearsal dinner and you know that is very generous of her and Bill - so don't be mad at her. You should really be mad at your dad who hasn't offered to pay for one red cent of your wedding. Better yet - don't be mad at anyone. Maybe you can have a yard sale and sell some of the crap you refuse to let go of and save that money to pay for it! You'll figure it out - you always do! Now - go change your clothes and get your ass on that treadmill!

I haven't ironed them on yet ~ hopefully they work out! I got the iron ons that say "Bride" - "Just Married" - "Bridesmaid" - "Maid of Honor" and "Flowergirl".

We finally decided on Saturday (only because the new BM dresses I ordered fit the girls) - that our colors would be a dark teal and ivory with accents of silver and light blue.

I agree, leave the registry info off of the invite.
