i'm glad that worked out for you. Good for you telling them how it is.

Didn't you have to get her friends that you did invite addresses from fmil? You would think she would of realized when STDs went out, that was it. Let fi deal with her. It's your wedding not hers. If you want a small intimate wedding, than that's what you should have don't let her push into inviting more. Even if you think the people wouldn't go, you never know, it might be the vacation they always wanted to take and now they would have an excuse to take it. Why do people have to be difficult when you start planning a wedding!

Britney, if your fi did see the Bd things, he will most likely forget a month from now what he saw anyway. i know my fi forgets pretty much everything, so don't worry about that. Maybe he just turned the iron on and realized he wasn't supposed to be in that room so left really quickly without noticing anything. And i'm sorry about your mom's situation. I hope it all works out for you. I'm sending good thoughts your way.

Morgan, your making legal day sound like fun. I emailed my coordinator and asked what my options are. I never knew that signing the papers with the judge and holding your ceremony later were options, i'm so glad you girls told me about that. I hope my resort will do this too. But getting married home and having symbolic away, is starting to sound very tempting. Hmmm. Decisions decisions...

I'm glad to hear you girls say that. And Becky, that's great that a lot of your guests now and don't care. They understand how you consider the DW your real wedding. You girls are making feel so much better, i will stop freaking out now. i'm such a spazz.

for the girls getting married legally in US, did you tell anybody? I would just feel so awful if my guests found out, i wouldn't want them to think that they were paying to go to a "fake wedding", even though to me and fi it would be are real wedding. Am I just being nervous about nothing?

The weather in Nov is like 85 degrees, which i don't think is bad but fi is always hot. So he's not too happy about that time. I was more worried about the reception. We talked about doing a legal ceremony here but i was nervous about it because i was afraid our guests would find out (you need one witness) and I really wouldn't want anyone to know. i'll have to talk to fi about it, he's all for doing the legal here.

Your house looks beautiful. I really like the kitchen. Goodluck with everything!

Just catching this thread now. I'm so glad that you had a heart to heart with Tom about how you felt. And it sounds like he understood. Now two weeks till your relaxing under the sun with a nice cold tropical drink in your hand. Your going to have such a great wedding/vacation/honeymoon. And we can't wait to hear about it!

I'm getting married in Punta Cana by a civil judge (were having a legal ceremony). I had to wait until now to find out when my time was because the judge decides the time, you can suggest a time but he ultimately decides what time he will hold your ceremony. So in November when i put my deposit down, i requested a 6pm wedding but would be fine with anytime between 4-6. I find out today, that the judge gave me 1pm. What the hell am i going to do with that time? I was plannnig a reception with fire dancers, tiki torches, a big beach BBQ. the ceremony is only 20 minutes so reception would start at 2, can't have fire dancers at 2 and can't have tiki torches. That would just look stupid. what's the point of having a reception. I already got stuck with a Thursday wedding cause Frid and Saturday were booked now i'm getting stuck with a daytime. I'm sorry to go off, but this is like the tenth obstacle i've had planning this wedding. this may seem little but it pisses me off!

I think starfish will look great. Bet your glad that decision is made?!

very nice.

your flowers are beautiful. I voted clear but honestly i think blue would be great too. Sorry i'm no help, i can't make decisions.

I still love this show, even though I know it's fake and sometimes nothing is going on (a lot of staring). I'm addicted to it, I look forward to it every Monday night. Run home from work to watch and sing along to the theme song. God i'm a loser! lol Yari, i loved Lauren's and Whitney's outfits yesterday. Lauren looks so cute this season. Her glasses were adorable on her yesterday. I might have to check out her clothing line.

I love love dress#1 on you. It's very goddess style and i really like that. But dress 2 is a close second. You look gorgeous in both.

Great stuff. Your guests will love them. The towels look very high quality too. And I think the matches with the lil flip flops on them are adorable, where did you get them? I have to order some for my guests' candles.

The email you sent her was perfect. Even though I do like Morgan's "Deal or No Deal" suggestion.

Have a beautiful wedding day!

Oh, I wish it was bigger, i want to see the pretty details. I love the bodice. Really pretty.

I'm so sorry that some people that are important to you can't make it. But at the end of the day, what really matters is that you and your fi are there together making the commitment to spend the rest of your lives together. I think that's all that should count.

I guess i'll be making a trip to the dollar tree. I need sunblock. All the stuff you got sounds great and that's plenty for the bag. Although I would get the matches like Lisa suggested since you got candles.

It's very pretty.

I can't wait for the drunk pics, the bachlorette/bachelor party were so great and now she'll have more than one night of pics. can't wait to hear what happened.

It kinda sounds like she's jealous of you. there's no reason for her to have to have an October wedding, there's 12 other months to choose from. that's beat

I agree with you, that's f'd up. You don't do that to a girl's wedding, especially friend or family's. I'm going through something similar and I've been trying to act like i'm not pissy about the situation but i kinda am. after i got engaged (me and fi have been together for 4 yrs). My bro's girlfriend (he's been with for altogether maybe 6 mos) gets pregnant by "accident" (she's 36, I can't understand how this happens when your on birth control). And now they are getting married in a few months. Now maybe i wouldn't think she got prego on purpose, if her first reaction to me getting engaged wasn't "where's my ring?" WTF
