The seriously have got to stop giving wardrobe advice! "Flapper-inspired dresses with glittery retro-glam looks are all the rage and will still shine in modern times." I love theme parties, just not for the wedding. You could end up with pics like these: The elastic sequined headband is a nice touch...

Congratulations! Happy Wedding day!

You are going to look beautiful! I actually looked at a dress maybe yours or quite similar. Is it a Jasmine? I love the shoes too! I'm so glad people are mixing it up with color!

How hot is it to say "should we feed the dogs first?" then put up a gate so you can have sex? It's not - but we've learned to laugh about it. And do you feel super guilty when the dog is in the room or watching behind the baby gate? I feel like I'm causing him emotional trauma and we'll have to take him to a therapist (Best in Show)! I agree about being in a rut. When FI was traveling with football, I'd jump all over him as soon as he got home, not to mention he had the best ass in the world! We also had to do it before every game for good luck! We did this when we first started dating and they won, so we had to keep the streak going...LOL We've both kind of let ourselves go and it takes effort from both parties involved. Though I do have to say if you are introducing new things into the bedroom, you might want to take some baby steps. We have been together for 6 years so this is not a new issue for us. Well, FI decided to "spice things up" and got a little crazy with the gadgetry. It kinda freaked me out! If anyone has a major size discrepency with their FI (or if you're pregnant) I would highly recommend the Liberator. If nothing else the website is funny to look at NOT AT WORK! There is a 14K gold "toy". What would you do if you got divorced? Do you take it to a jeweler and have it melted down, put on a chain, what? Sorry, these are the things I think about when I can't sleep and/or don't feel like working...

Tami, I think we have all been/are/will be there right along with you! It's just part of the wedding planning process. If I hear, " I don't care, it's your day" one more time I'm going to smack that boy in the face. I also get the money worries. We don't have a lot so all of my savings is going to the wedding and all that he has and our joint savings are going towards buying a house. That makes it all the more difficult when he criticizes something. It's my money and my day, damnit! I've got a little over 2 months and I'm really feeling the stress and starting to take it out on everyone around me. I hate being so snappy all the time! But, on a side note, if anyone needs an angry letter written, I'm probably your girl. Just breathe, drink a glass (bottle) of wine. In 18 more days you'll be walking down the aisle in a tropical paradise and it will all have been worth it!

We have some great travel agents (TA) on the boards.I would start there so you can find out the best location for your budget. After you pick a loaction everything else is easy!

Welcome back! I'm so glad you had a wonderful time. We can't wait to see pictures and hear all about it!

Wow! That will be quite an event! Good luck with your planning!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I don't know that I have anything to add that hasn't already been stated. I would go to her and just say you're hurt and you're sorry that she can't accept you or Tim or your choices and she apparently doesn't wish to continue your friendship, and you wish her the best in planning and wedding alone. Or, you could send her an e-mail--that seems to be her style. We had a friend from high school that did this with all of us--pushed and pushed, said everything about everyone, only did what she wanted, and could only call when it was convenient. Now that she is getting married, she's realized that she has pushed everyone away and is trying to make ammends. Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan Is this a friendship you want to continue? I know you've been friends a long time, but if she is a toxic friend maybe it's best to part ways. We don't know the whole relationship of course, but the stuff she is doing sounds bad. I have had my share of negative friends & life is so much better being surrounded by friends that bring out the best in you. Morgan, did you steal "toxic friend" from Smart Steven from Real World Las Vegas? I totally did! LOL!

I say this all the time Who doesn't love cartoon boobies? Pirates! 'nuf said! Oh and Jean-Marcus, Here is my fav T-shirt hell shirt

Welcome! You should be able to answer all of your questions here!

Is your hair naturally straight? If so, it should be easy to maintain, so go for it. Mine curls/waves so bangs are not a real option for me! I do love to Katie-do though...Very in right now. You've got more guts than I do!

I was really busy this weekend and wasn't on BDW so I missed your bachelorette post! It looks like you had a great time! You looked great for being drunk. I always end up looking like hell by the end of the night! LOL Which reminds me, I need to post some bachelorette pics...

Betsy! You look beautiful! I can't wait to see the real pics!

Good to know. I've just recently discovered all that You-Tube has to offer.
