Great review! I have to go home and look at the pics on my own computer tho, can't wiat!

I just caught wind of this thread... Cracking up! Since it was posted, the link still works, so I'm thinking that a lot of you maybe gave him some business or something! Ha! JUST KIDDING! I totally love the gal with the purple "wings" that she is holding out, like "look at my purple undies under my purple wings here!" Too funny.

I know this has been so hard on you and I also know that if you go with your heart it will be hard but the right decision. There will be days that you will wonder if you made the right choice, and years from now something little will happen that will bring it all back, but when all is said and done you will be much happier and grow to appriciate the choice the two of you made. I am proud of you for thinking about your future and just keep in mind that it will make the two of you stronger together. You can overcome anything if you do it together. We're all here if you need us, that's what we're all about!

I wish I knew the answer for you, is there a way you can buy a CD from him and print them yourself? I know this is an option sometimes. Good luck, and don't forget to post pics when you have some!

Your dress is so beautiful! Thanks for letting us see!

I agree with some other gals who say to give him some time and hopefully he will come around. If not, I also agree with some gals who say you might have to resort to making him think he got his way and just not giving him all the information. Technically your name does not change until you have your marriage certificate back and you change it with social security and so on from there, so maybe you can get around it by telling him you havent changed it, and then just dont say anything to anyone when you do turn in your paperwork. Not exactly the same thing, but a lot of us are not telling close family that our weddings are not actually the legal one, and we are not being completely honest with them about it, but the point is that its our personal choice, and not anyone elses. Same with your choice to change your name, even tho it's a cultural thing, it is ultimately YOUR business and not your fathers. Good luck and keep us posted!

Those are so awesome! Great job! We are having cupcakes instead of cake at the wedding, so we are going to get a cupcake for each person (the same kind as the wedding cupcakes) in the wedding party and give it to them in a little box with a card that I am making. Still working on ideas for the cards, but I am thinking cards that look like little Tux jackets for the guys and little dresses in my colors for the girls. I better get on this since we are all getting together after New Years and we want to ask them then! I'll post pics after I get it set up.

Oh wow , Rachel! It's lovely! You look so beautiful. I thought, wow she is tall! Then I read about the stool you were standing on, HAHA!

Well, I am VERY discouraged. I was not into it 'cause I was hot and grumpy and the dress I thought I liked in pictures turned out to be not what I thought it would be in person. So now I am feeling like I have NO idea what kind of dress I'd like, and also I was extra grumpy having to look in the size section I had to look in. Why do those idiot men (sorry guys, but you know it wasn't a woman who decided to do this!) have to size the most important piece of clothing you will ever buy so that it makes you feel like a lard coated stay-puft marshmallow-man? Needless to say, I did not try anything on and did not take any pics. ~I did see a couple that I would settle for, but nothing that screamed, "PICK ME!" ~mauraw and nylalany-- how did your appointments go?

Yea Kate! Can't wait to see pics and hear all about it. In case you read this, I'm still trying to get you upgraded! If nothing else we'll try the comped drinks Congrats and best wishes!

I got talked into going to look at dresses tonight, I'm going to meet my best friend and I told her that I do NOT want to try any on tonight, since I can't buy one until after Christmas, and I don't want to fall in love with something when I put it on and not be able to own it! I just want to get an idea for what they look and feel like in person, since I've never in my life paid attention to wedding dresses before! So wish me luck that I see some that I like and want to go back and try on later, and wish me luck that I don't find any I just have to have tonight!

I was just gonna start this thread then I saw this one! We are having Dougs oldest brother (his best friend) get ordained online and be our officiant so it is legal. It's a little different for us since our Fake wedding at home (the big one) will not be legal, but he will still officiate it; and then at our Real wedding (the intimate, destination one) he will be able to officiate and make it legal in Hawaii.

Those are way hot!

You must be getting super excited Are you all set? I can't wait to see and hear how your dress worked out. Make sure to post pics asap when you get back!

WooHoo! Way to go gals!
