What a great engagement story! Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Thanks for the cookie Abby and for the cake, Glenda! Both will meet my calorie allowance! I did have a nice day but unfortunately I have to go to work tonight. Boo!

Your photos look great Trish! Your wedding dance looked like a lot of fun!

Congratulations Kate! Have fun staring at your new ring!

Well, let's see. I have my dress but am waiting to be skinnier to do the alterations, bought FI's suit and pants for the best man. I still need to buy accessories for my dress and go dress shopping with my sister for her BM dress. I booked the mariachi and need to send an email to the WC to reserve the Portofino restaurant for my reception. I have my OOT canvas bags but still need to have my stepbrother screenprint them, got my travel mugs. Need to buy cuban wedding shirts for FI and best man and a tropical shirt for my dad & maybe my stepdad. We have booked the photographer for Mexico, the hall, caterer and dj for the AHR. Planning on ordering AHR invites tonight (still on sale). Have to make some more deposits I also need to pick up some more stuff for the OOT bags (maraca pens, tropical notepads, homemade cd's).

Check out her wedding website for some pics! It is listed at the bottom of her review! They are gorgeous pics...but I feel that I speak for many of us BDWers in saying... WE WANT MORE!!!!! Anyhow, congrats Trish! Everything looked perfect. How windy was it on the beach for the ceremony and pictures? Did you get a chance to check out the Portofino restaurant? Did you pick your flowers from the book or bring pics of what you wanted?

My friend (one of the few of my friends that is still with the airlines) said the Delta flight attendants are pretty unhappy with this. I'm sure this is true of the NW flight attendants too. The whole integration thing is tricky when everything is based on seniority. The old Pan Am FAs were still bitter with the original Delta FAs for decades after that merger.

I love the idea of BDW onesies. "The product of a BDW marriage."

everytime I attempt cooking fresh artichokes they are so fibrous and chewy. Any tips? I almost bought some baby artichokes at the grocery store earlier this week but decided against it.

We just bought the Axcess tan suit at Kohls for $139.99 plus I had a 30% coupon. Fabulous deal. Both the Axcess and Chaps suits were nice. The Chaps one was a lighter color, 3 button and had some monochromatic stripe. It is the dressier of the two. The Axcess one has a tan linen look to it and only 2 buttons. We chose the Axcess one because it was a shade darker.

I hope your wedding was perfect!! Can't wait to see your pics and read your review. So jealous that you are in Mexico right now ... and getting married! Yippee!!

Looks like you girls had fun! Where did she get those sunglasses? I would love to get some for my friends for my wedding week. Although, who knows what they would do with those on.

I love the cut! Very stylish. Looks great on you.

In one of the articles, it says that she blinks both sets of eyes at the same time. I wonder if the facial nerves just split and get the same signal from the brain. Does this mean she cries simultaneously from both mouths? We need some video. It is a blessing for that baby that she is considered a reincarnated god.

I don't have a crush on him, but there is something intriguing about him. I love his voice. He is one of my favorites.

Hi all, Would love some opinions on my (our) possible AHR invites. Our AHR is going to be on Dec 6th, so I'm going wintery. Invitations by Dawn is having a sale with 15% off til Apr 18th. (If anyone wants the code, it is: 24109) For 175 invites, response cards, thank you cards and a set of table numbers the price would be $350 plus tax. I don't know about shipping yet. This is the preview in the font I like: What do you think of the font and ink color? Hopefully it is visible enough. It is Breezes ink color. I chose that font because it is easy to read and not super flowy and formal. Of course, I haven't showed FI the preview yet. BDW gets first pics!

That dress is gorgeous. I'm your "skinny ass biotches" will look fabulous in them! You should take the $173 price to the dress store you originally went to and see if she will match it. Then you won't have to worry about shipping.

Wow, your pics are great! You looked gorgeous and your hair was perfect! Congratulations! It looks like everyone had a lot of fun. And I must compliment you and your BMs for carrying the bouquets nice & low. Looks great.

You and your photos look fabulous! Looks like a perfect wedding day! Where did you get your shoes? I love them!

Smokin' hot! That dress looks great on you.

Congratulations Heidi & Reggie!!!

I so loved NKOTB. I had my entire wall covered with posters. And of course, I saw them in concert! And who can forget the Christmas album! Good stuff. Wait til I tell my FI! He may want to change his mind about marrying me!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

I am such a light sleeper and FI snores all winter long. I was taking ambien for awhile but then I discovered that if I just sneak off to the other bedroom after he falls asleep (which is 2 seconds after he lies down), I can sleep all night long without ambien! Not that I don't love ambien, didn't wake up all night long until alarm clock went off. He isn't fazed by me sleeping in another room. Maybe the old fashioned way of separate bedrooms or at least separate beds is the way to go! Cuddle for awhile and then sleep in your own bed!

I just saw it over the weekend at BBB and the paisleys stopped me dead in my tracks! I adore paisley. My FI took one look at it, looked at me and just sighed. He knows I love these plates almost as much as I love him. I think we are going to get the natural and gold color ones to go with the paisley. I love the blue color but it won't match our dining room. Do you think it will be around for the next 7 or 8 months? I don't want to miss out on the paisley.
