Jenn i like the centerpieces. as far as table setups i had 29 people and we did 4 round tables. i wanted to do one table but dh didnt like that setup and i didnt care that much so i let him have his way plus its one of the 2 wedding decisions he made. but the round tables worked out really good all of my guests were going from table to table talking to each other. I wonder how big one table for 26 people would be. would it be too big for everyone to move around and talk to each other. I think i would go with the 2 tables and the one sweetheart table. i just think it would be easier for everyone to move around.

my dh didnt want a bout and went boutless. I thought he looked fine. so i'd say go boutless, im sure it would look great without one.

BTW Susan its nice to see you on here. i missed you around here!

stacey your menu sounds delish. diy sundaes or ice cream sandwiches are great ideas. and the corn dip sounds yummy!

i've never used Jane cosmetics maybe i'll stop by walgreens and check it out. thanks for the heads up.

i just saw Kathys pics that Erika posted and i actually really like how her hubby looked with his black shirt and white pants, next to her white dress. lol totally did a 180 from my 1st post. i guess i just needed to see it.

okay i'm going to be honest with you. for me I really wanted dh's shirt to match the color of my dress. so i got him a white shirt that had some colored embroidery on it. Why do you think your dh wont look as good in white? But its your wedding so i think it should really be up to you guys. so if you guys prefer black than go with black.

Yeah maybe she's trying if she's willing to have a work shower for you. I wonder what her problem is though. I was thinking since she hasnt booked yet that maybe she cant go and just doesnt know how to tell you so she's avoiding you as best as she can. I hope she comes around and becomes a great bm in the next 3 months.

Happy wedding day!

I've never been able to find a self tanner that i really liked so i've always ended up going tanning but this year i really want to find one that works. Since i dont know which i like, i'll let you know what i've tried before and disliked. I tried Clairins, Clinique, and Neutrogena. i looked orange with all 3. Sephora has these towelettes from Kate Somerville that look pretty cool. Has anyone used them?

I have a love/hate relationship with this show. Sometimes i just feel like its so fake (i know all reality shows are somewhat fake) and other times i really like it. I feel like their relationships with each other are real but just some of the scenarios they end up are just a little over the top like when Kim's calendar for Reggie got printed by the mom and sold at stores. I dont watch it weekly but if its on over the weekend and i'm home i watch it.

Ummm maybe i just hang out with a bunch of alchies but i've been to plenty of weddings were people go up and get 2 drinks at a time for themselves and about 30 minutes later go up and get 2 more. So i would definately go with the chip system. i've never been anywhere that did it but i think it would work out good.

I agree that the older people might not enjoy it, but really you can't plan an AHR around the small amount of people. You should focus on what you and your FI would want and then what the majority of your guests would enjoy. Also, an AHR isn't necessary either. If it's too much stress/$/whatever, just skip it! I ended up having alot of fun at mine, but it took alot of planning/$/time and I was really wishing that we hadn't done it at the time. exactly what i would of said except that i didnt end up having an ahr

actually i figured they usually add a new housewife maybe the new housewife would be friends with Danielle and the other girls.

jess theresa's hairline drives me crazy too. dh even asked me one time "there's something weird about her hair." and i pointed out its her hairline and now he cant get past her hairline it bothers him too. i hope they have a 2nd season. I really liked it. And Christine i was wondering how they would bring Danielle back too unless they have her and Jacklyn make up.

this is a really tough situation because you work with her. If you just fire her than it might make things even worse at work and very awkward. Maybe you can invite her to lunch and have a heart to heart with her. I know your feelings are hurt and maybe she has something going on that is making her act this way. did she already book? if she didnt maybe you can approach her and tell her that you know she has a lot of things going on with school and you would completely understand if she cant make it. that's kind of the easy way out but in your situation it might be the best way to go.

Happy Wedding Day

wow i love your pics and you look stunning. your dress fits you beautifully. I'm so glad you liked Severine, i loved her too. She did a great job with your pics.

awww you guys look so cute 2gether. i think your friend did a great job and Mark is going to be in for a rude awakening when he has to take wedding pics. hehe

i didnt see this either until now. I'm so glad you found such a great photographer. His work is amazing.

ooo i was just on Anthropologie.com and they had a few white dresses. some looked dressier.

last year i was trying to find a cute white sundress for after the reception and I ended up finding a few I think at BCBG. I would check department stores like Nordstroms, Neiman Marcus, Lord & Taylor, etc. im sure you can find some there.

Have fun on the honeymoon Lisa.
