After tomorrow, we are off to Mexico!!! I cannot believe this has flown by!!! P.S. ladies, I bought the body glide at Dicks sporting goods... wil definitely write up a chub rub review when I get back!!

Wow, we are leaving in like two days... my head is spinning, so many last minute details!!!

why not try!!!! It sucks ordering from a catalog. Cus u cant try it on... But give it a shot!! Look at the measurements as well.... We leave on Wed! Yeah!!! I take in swimsuits sometimes if they dont fit correctly... just cinch an area or two... its hard getting good support... Also try suits from Aliciasimone.com. I got one there that I love... Not shape FX but still a great suit...

leaving in less than a week! Wahoooo!

PS. I don't know how I am going to make it through the ceremony. I listened to the song I am walking down the aisle to and started bawling in my car... WTF~? What am I gonna dooo? Getting excited!!!

SPANX!!! Spanx and a strapless and no undies so I can pee pee at will (with a little help, and why and I talking like a 5yr old? I think I am going crazy since we are leaving in a few days.) AHHHH! Again! I feel like I have 30983693 things to do! Don't wear too much under, will be a sweaty mess... On that note, was telling MOH, no WAY am I wearing a garter.... by that time in the night to take it off, I will be a sweaty beast... YUCK! haha

Hahaha, No joke, I thought your rehearsal pic was your ceremony pic, and I was like, great... FI is going to be so jealous and want to get married in his swim trunks too... LOL... you looked beautiful and congrats!!!

The teal one that laces in the front is not good. It's not made of the shape FX, so, for me the body looked good, but my boobs were reallllly not supported at all. Just my opinion, trying to help out!

AHHHHH! We are leaving in one week, and I feel that there is so much stuff to being, I don't want to forget things!!! I am so excited! Wahoooo! Can anyone think of any last minute things!!! I can't wait!!!!!!

OMG, we leave in a week for our wedding!!! AHHHHH! And legal day is tomorrow... Sporting my white city dress from New York and Company what what! This is all going so fast!!!

Here is the link for the Newport news bandeau suit Shape fx All-over Control Bandeau Swimdress at Newport-News.com I got two of them, I really love them.

I got the suit that in the picture the model is in white. There is a V at the cleavage and then it comes up and ties around the neck. I love it.

Haha, my mom's friends daughters work in his cake store and were supposedly on the show so my mom has been telling me to watch it. The guys are too funny, and they are so Jersey, I loveeee it! I kind of want to go to the bakery one morning, I think it would be an experience!

I think I am going to go to the mall listed on the list of stores available that is closest to me and check it out... we shall seeee

Yeah! I love this curvy thread! Someone came up to me at the pool today (I had on the Newport-News Bandeau suit) and she was like, "I love your suit, please tell me where I can get it and that you bought it this season!" I am totally hitting up Dick's for that body glide... or, this may sound funny, maybe I will have FI buy it, he is actually athletic... I TOTALLY do not look like a runner lol... Just kidding, I am picking it up ASAP!!! Would it be weird if I asked them, "Where's the chub rub remedy??" Hahaha! Love it... PS, my mom lost like 70 pounds and she said, no matter what, she never got that space between the legs...

What store can you buy it in?

I want that! But I don't think I could get it in time for our wedding!!

nail tique... it's like $17 for a teeny tiny bottle, but it makes your nails like rocks... it worked for me... there is a fake one too, nail tek, but nail tique is the best!

Should we give the photographer a list? Or is it better to just go with it...

Congrats Heidi! Either way you are happy and hitched!

I have an important question for the Excellence brides. We are staying here for our honeymoon portion of our trip, and I need to find out what time the check in is at? I would ask our TA, but we are having major problems with them. We are supposed to do our TTD with Claudia Rodriguez the day we arrive, but I need to find out check in time!! Thanks ladies!!!

Maybe we curvacious vixens here at BDW can get Spanx to be our official sponsor... and everyone can get some crotchless spanx as a courtesy! lol.

Lisaloooo I love it! It looks great!!!

I think mummergirl said something about A and D ointment or something... but, I would wear a short legging or something if you are doing a lot of walking. Skinny girls don't worry about the chub rub-not fair!!! I would def get a pair of spandek shorts or legging capris... just to stop the chub rub. PS, Lisaloo, you could totally wear spanx! They make them in all sizes... They go up to a size G and the top of the height weight chart is 6ft 325 pounds...(not that I am holding the package in my hands or anything lol. They are so much more comfortable that a bustier or any of that stuff. and, they are crotchless, so on wedding day, or whenever, you can just go peepee!!! Okay, now for a REALLY funny story, that I CANNOT believe I am telling on here, but I figure it's for a good laugh. I go to the first fitting for my dress. I met up with my MOH and mom, and I had my hair all done and makeup for effect. So all day my stomach had been killlling me, but I didnt want to cancel the appt., had it booked for way too long. So, I got changed in to my strapless bra, spanx, and gown... come out, and I look at MOH with sweat coming down my face... I had to go!!! So we were running to the bathroom, and she had to sit with me, holding up my gown, literally face to face while I did my business... we were laughing soooo hard that we were practically crying.... and the whole time she was like "Only you Joanna, only you would have to do this as soon as you get in to the dress"..... well, now I know not to be worried about any similar situations on wedding day!!! LMFAO! Quote: Originally Posted by jackobelle Lisaloo - I love your dress it looks great on you!!! How lucky you are to have your aunt make it for you! I also LOVE spanx! I couldn't live without them. I don't wear them every day, but I do wear them whenever I wear a dress. I have the high waisted ones so you don't get the 'overhang' at the waistline. Oprah wears them all the time too! They really hide trouble spots in dresses, but the other reason I love them so much is they prevent the painful rash I get when my thighs rub together when wearing a dress. On the topic of that awful thigh rash - I don't know what I'll do in Cuba for the wedding. I want to wear cute sundresses and coverups during the day, but it will be way too hot for spanx! Any ideas on how to prevent the 'thigh friction irritation'?

Savannah, that is what I emphasized to them was that this experience was poor for everyone involved and I think he thought he could give me discount to make me content...money wasn't the biggest issue... barely an issue... but everything else... well, now there are a lot of people not happy with their business...
