Oh that is TERRIBLE. Whether it was 5K or 25K its terrible to have something stolen from you. Maybe she shouldn't have taken that ring off her finger, I know I wouldnt have even taken it WITH me, but I hope she finds justice. She should contact CNN and all those news people. thieves. My bike was stolen one time ( Worst feeling. I swear I was driving around the neighborhood for months waiting to see the bastard so I could close-line his a**. Ahh I still think about that bike (lol)

Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It IS princessy! And here's the thing- I always pictured me in a mermaid type dress. I tired ALL types of styles on and this one I just really loved. I tried so many others on, but kept going back to this one.

Here is a pic of my dress ;o) As I'm sure you all know- pictures DO NOT justify...it is SO much prettier in person. I got it in ivory. Once I go for my fitting I will take pix and share ;o) In this pic the girl isn't wearing a slip...I - OF COURSE - am getting an extra poofy slip to wear so it'll be more full and show the detail better on the bottom. I love her so much, I want to name it! blahah

When work starts to pile up in your bin at work and it sits there for hours and than you have to rush later in the day to get it all done..

Not positive but for now it's "Unchained Melody" by "The Richeous Brothers"... I thought it was kinda gay at first, cuz of the whole "Ghost" movie when Demi Moore is making pottery...but that's the first song Joe and I dance 2 as a couple so I thought it's be meaningful if we danced to it for the first time as husband and wife. ORR theres a song he put on a cd for me for our first Valentine's Day, "She's My Everything" by Brad Paisley. That's a good one too and I cry everytime I listen to it. But the thing with that song is it's more about a guy singing to a girl so I dunno. I thought it was supposed to be a "couple" song. I will most likely be posting a thread about this as my day gets closer. ha

Oh I LOVVVE that dress. It's beautiful, and ivory is such a pretty color so Im sure its stunning. 1- Not too sure if u will be sweatin hot..is it heavy? Also you have to remember at night, the weather will cool off alil. 2- Def does not look too formal. You can actually go either way with that dress, thats the awesome thing about that style. 3- I agree with what was said earlier- any good seamstress can do whatever you want with the dress ;o) I love it!! (YES! i've been wanting to use that smiley face!) Good luck!

...sorry i quoted ME (duh) i didnt mean to do that.

I think what you have sounds very nice! If you wanted to add one more thing thats great but if not, that's prefect what you have. The Knot had some really cute ideas..Im sure you already knew that though... I was thinking of getting mine their jewelry and placing it in engraved silver jewelry boxes, and a gift car to Sephora or something.

Argh I hear ya. But... try to relax and deal with this one step at a time. Don't get yourself all worked up over it and ruin the planning ya know? (easier said I'm sure) It will work out either way. Just continue to try to get a mgr, etc and get this fixed...which it will some how.

OMG are you kidding!?!?! They are complete a-holes for doing that, why on earth would they just give up your rooms??!?! Bigger party my ass, thats no reason to just give the rooms away- sounds like maybe someone f'ed up and didnt do their job. ##$@$@!&!*%$&! I would def not let this go! And the fact that your FI deals with them so often, omg. Keep calling and DEMAND until you get what you want, tell them you're not happy, you're going to call friggin CNN. omg I'd be freakin out! im really sorry you're even dealing with this!!!!!!
