Everything looks great! How exciting for you! Your day is finally here!!

He should definitely not be invited to your DW. What a nightmare that would be! And you wouldn't be able to relax at all.

Thanks girls. I did buy dress number 1. It also has optional spaghetti straps. I have yet to try it on with those straps. Actually I haven't tried it on since I picked it up. It is being stored at my sister's house.

Tonight's show reminded me how much I missed Grey's! Good stuff. Not sure how I feel about some of these twists. And I have to say, this is not the reality for interns and residents. Where were all the nurses? You know docs can't find their own supplies!

I don't think you should feel pressured to do anything that makes you uncomfortable. At my grandfather's funeral a few weeks ago, none of us said anything. We just let the minister do her ceremony. Of course, we did go to my sister's house after and have lunch and drinks and we talked about Pappy there. I think the funeral is about honoring your Grandma's memory and I think you can do that without having to speak in front of others if that makes you uncomfortable. Sincere and silent is still grieving.

University of Pittsburgh. Go Panthers!!

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Wow, Sarah! I am so sorry that you are having a week like this. That is just crazy that your sister did this. I really hope she isn't prego or doesnt get prego. I'm sure she is going to regret this.

That kid sings pretty well. Do you think it is a boy or girl?

Has a linen look to it. It is a bit darker than the chaps suit. Both were very nice quality. Chaps one is a little bit dressier.

I had a cat that whenever I cried (and when I was with the guy that I was dating at the time, it was more frequent than I would have liked), she would immediately come sit with me, meow at me and give me love. Then she went deaf at some point...literally, not just deaf to my tears

We are having a semi-private reception in one of the resort restaurants. It is included with the wedding package. It is extra is we have a private reception and we are trying to keep costs to a minimum. My sister had a semi-private for her destination wedding a few years ago and it was fine. Nobody saw anything wrong with it. They still decorate it for you. My sister had a head table and everything. It was very nice and it didn't really matter to us that we didn't have the whole space for ourselves.

Anny, he is adorable. Congratulations! Hope you are getting some sleep!

Congratulations! I hope your day is perfect!!

That IS a smokin' hot dress! I wish I even had half that amount of cleavage. I'm sure she can't even compete!

I don't annually vaccinate my cats. They are strictly indoors as well. The kitten got his kitten shots but I won't get him boosters of the rabies vaccines. They only come into contact with each other and are at little risk. I had a cat before that had an allergic reaction to the rabies shot and had to go to the emergency vet. Then the next time she had to get benedryl prior to the shot. Too much hassle and expense for me...especially since she didn't go outside anyhow.

Sounds like you and the FILs are making progress. I still think you need to have your candy bar. Have them show you everything that has been spent and look at the budget on some paper to see where the expense really is. Then you at least have an idea of what money is actually being spent. That way you and Kevin can know where you stand on your own budget.

This is a great thread! Sarah, I'm sure this made you feel better...and cheered up the whole forum as well!

I'm glad it is working out for your foster baby! I got my kitten from a foster mom and I still send her pics of my little Jack.

Great thread! Super spicy!

Congratulations! Hope everything went perfectly for you.

You look beautiful! The colors are so nice in the pics too! Your FI is going to love them. Glad to hear the experience went so well.

What a gorgeous house! You will have so much fun making it prettier inside. Not that it isn't pretty already.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
