My FI is the same, but maybe worse. He says it's my thing but then he freely offers his opinion if he dislikes something. I find that if I cry I can get him to participate! Sometimes it is on purpose, others I really do break down. He is from a family of all boys and I really don't think he gets a lot of it. He doesn't grasp tradition or ettiquette. What worked for me was to give him a time line and check list. He's very task oriented. so it was look through this book and give me your top 5 whatevers and by March 1 you have to have made an appointment with the tailor, etc.

I don't have a picture, but has anyone seen My Big Fat Redneck Wedding on CMT? It's kinda like Rock of Love or Britney Spears...a train wreck you can't turn away from. Anyway, there was an episode last night where the bride got married in camo, the recessional had what i'm guessing was a 21 shot gun salute, the reception was in the garage, there were port-a-pottys, and they had a tent in the back yard to cover the mud wrestling pit! and the super classy centerpieces!

OMG! Your dress is stunning! I wish I had the figure to pull off something like that! You'll have to post pictures of you in it!

I don't think you can without being on birth control. You might call your OB/GYN to see if there is anything she can do. I know there is a shot to "jump start" your cycle. I don't know if there is one that will stop your cycle, short term anyway.

Those are beautiful. It makes me think I should try making my own! How many did you do?

Welcome to the forum! Only 3 months to go!

My mom and I own our own catering/event company. I've done it all...wedding planning, office work, janitorial work, etc. When you own your own business if it has to get done, you are usually the one who does it. I'm mainly in the office now, hence my BDW obsession. I do still cook and "rent myself" out to do in home cooking classes, mixology and personal chef work. Most of my clients are corporate, though I do have the contract with 4 private airports to do all personal aviation catering. I also work with clients with special dietary needs, especially if it is a new diagnosis. I show or prepare meals for diabetic, bariatric, gluten-free, etc. patients. I graduated college with BAs in French and Poli Sci thinking I would be a jet-setting international philantropic grand poo-bah activist type person. I worked really hard on the 2000 and 2004 campaigns and got really burned out when my side lost. Both of my parents were chefs so I just kinda ran out of money and needed somethng to do. Here I am 3 years later with no formal training!

Welcome! October will be here before you know it!

Welcome and Happy Planning! Try not to stres out to mcuh! The ladies on the forum will be very helpful!

Welcome! have a great trip!

Every Jim Heljm I looked at was over $200. Some were closer to $300. I didn't look at any Lazaro but would guess they are in the same range. The girls dresses are Mori Lee and were $120 and I got $20 off each oone because I bought my dress there at the same store.

Camouflage makeup concealer for blemishes tattoo I don't have tattoos so I don't know how it works!

Welome to the forum!

Ok, I'm thinking that I need to change my earlier answer. My body is at work but I'm not really feeling it! I think I'll stay in the office and BDW it up al day. One of the perks of owning your own business and having a staff!

I was wondering the same thing! Our coordinator at couples said it takes 3-6 months but there is an expedited option, but it is more costly.

Paula, I'm so sorry about your puppy! I hope he's ok! I'll send happy, get well thoughts his way! Let us know how he's doing!

Happy Anniversary! We'll miss you here on BDW but I'm sure you'll have great details and pictures for us tomorrow! LOL I love PF Chang's! Eat a Great Wall of Chocolate for me--I gave up sweets for Lent!

Great job. I got lots of compliments on my boarding passes and they weren't nearly as elaborate as yours. The princess cards are adorable! I might steal teh idea for my neice's next birthday!

Welcome! I'm sure you'll be a great resource!

I second that! Take pictures! I love sassy shoes!

Congratulations and Welcome! Your wedding will be here before you know it!

I'm working. Most of my clients, including a bank, are working today so I have to be sure they get food! I really don't get holidays. They are usually my busiest times!

Welcome and Congratulations! There are lots of ROR brides here. I think you'll be a great resource since your wedding is so close!

Our rates were higher than what I had wanted too. Flying from the US with only one layover, arriving in Jamaica early afternoon and departing late afternoon, 7 nights, double occupancy, it is $2200 per person. This price does include all taxes, transfers, fees, etc. We have a 4 night package for about $1500 pp. We looked at several different places and it was always the airfare that drove up the cost. Apparently from the US now there is a minimum Sept. 11 tax of about $100 per person on all international flights! I'd say keep looking for bargains, but for an AI resort and international airfare, it will probably be closer to $2000 per person than it is $1000 per person.

I don't know why they pee on the floor?!?!?! I mean we can make it in when we hover in scary public bathrooms! All they have to do is stand up and aim! How hard can it be? If they have been potty trained for 20+ years they should have figured it out by now!
