wow, gorgeous pics by matt, as usual, and the poem made me cry! such a beautiful way to include your mom. your dress was fantastic! did you have it made?

beautiful pics, you looked gorgeous!

hi alyssa, i did this but i never took pics, i will try to do that tonight. the number one thing i forgot to do is: peel the wax paper AWAY from the candle when you are done heating! i am such an idiot. my candle looked pretty cool, but i couldnt figure out why it had so many air bubbles. i kept re-heating it and smoothing it out. finally i gave up (it was at about 1:00am the night before the wedding when i started the project!) and left it. when it got lit at the wedding the candle heated up and the whole picture was full of bubbles, you couldnt even see the pic of my grampa i thought "wow no one said that would happen!" then last week when i went to pick up some stuff from my moms house i found the candle in a box and pulled it out. as i was telling doug about what happened, i noticed that the wax paper was peeling off, so i took one edge and peeled it away and lo-and behold, a fantastic pic of my grampa was perfectly waxed to the candle underneath. so, maybe i just didnt read the instructions far enough (or too long ago before i tried and i forgot!) but dont forget to take the wax paper AWAY from the candle after you use the heat to take the wax off alyssa, i used about a 3"x6" pillar candle, maybe a little bigger (whatever the standard size is?) and when i created the picture i just made sure to customize the box size to fit in the dimensions.

wow that really bites! i just cant believe that these resorts would try to make a bride choose something they dont want for the most special day of their lives!

happy wedding day to the last of the july brides!! i'm so excited for for and i hope everything got sorted out for you to have an amazing time! cant wait to see pics!

have a fantabulous day morgan! we love you!

hahahah the cereal is shaking poor boy

an aftershock is just what they call the subsequent earthquakes that happen soon after the first big one that people notice.

angela, see elementary school drills worked! so glad you and bean are OK. catherine, i would wait to go out until you get an all clear. cali has been known to have aftershocks bigger than the earthquake itself. also sometimes people get a little riot-y in hysteria causing situations.

i didnt really have an major mishaps, but here are a few minor ones: -my littlest BM who is only 4 1/2 accidentally dropped a lipgloss down the front of her ivory dress right before pictures. she was SO ashamed, she walked up to me with her head hanging and these huge alligator tears streaming down her cheeks. when i asked her what was wrong she showed me and was so upset! i said "hey emilia, shit happens!" and she got this huge grin and was all better. later when we asked her to tell the story if she was sad about it, she said "i was holy pissed off!" how can you get mad at that? hahahahaha! -a huge section of my hair came unpinned and was hanging down the side of my head. halfway thru pictures and no one told me. the 2nd half of some really awesome pictures you can totally see it. i feel like they are ruined now cause you cant really photoshop something like that. we fixed it before the ceremony when we went inside to freshen up before the ceremony. -we had tiki torches lining the aisle, and we filled them with the citronella oil stuff thinking it would be helpful so guests wouldnt get bit up. we didnt realize that they would be so smoky, and all during the ceremony doug and i kept laughing as we would see these black specks floating thru the air all around us. the torches looked cool tho that was about it, nothing too funny but some minor stuff

wow was it big? thats scary i hope you all are ok!

ERICA yay i'm so excited to see pics! glad it was amazing i am so happy for you! you looked so beautiful, and i want more pics!!!!

green are awesome if they are like witchy-green, but mine are sorta green-grey-blue too, and not at all standout, kinda mousy like my natural hair color too

i was just checking on passport name change since i need to do that now, it looks like 4 weeks to get it back after you send it. so you probably have time now. but most airlines will change the first name on a ticket but not the last name, so you might want to wait on that, since your name on your passport and ticket MUST match exactly.

that is so gross and sad i really hope it doesnt happen again, whatever the reason it was there in the first place

thanks gals

shannon its beautiful!

also as far as ordering invites, check with the site you are ordering from and see how long for shipping/production. then send them out according to your plan.

i would say dont order them any earlier than you want to have to work around them at your house. we dont have any extra space at our house, so i was tripping all over stuff in the months leading up to the wedding. if you have a spare room or location at your house then order away! especially if you are worried that you might not be able to find something next year, and it might be something really important to you to have.

oh denise! those are fantastic! he did a great job, and i'm so glad you shared them with us. you guys looked amazing! the colors you chose look so fresh and vibrant together, and the sand frame turned out cool

holly those are great!

wow hot smokin mama licious! kathi you are a total babe, he is gonna flip out!
