I love your hair up!!!! Love it!!! So, I'd say keep it long. But if you do go for short, go way out curly! I did this for a friend's wedding and it was so much fun!

green giant: string beans

I don't know. when we were deciding about chair ties, they didn't have what I wanted (fuschia organza) so I looked into bringing my own, and Perla never said anything about a fee. But, in the end we used the satin ones so I'm just not sure. Ping Daniela or Perla with an e-mail.

Oh NOOOOOO! Say it isn't true! Clay was my backup plan were DH to be killed in a freak ferret stampede. Whatever shall I do?!?

sky diving: Oh hayell no!

Love, love love them!!!! You must have them!

Seriously? Three? That's just a little too creepy. Thanks for looking out for us Tammy!

Roy Orbison: Dark Sunglasses

Hmmm. I think I'll hold off e-mailing that to anyone from my work e-mail. But when I get home, all bets are off!

Yari!!!!!!!! Everything looks SO amazing! I love your dress. Love, love love your logo!

Yay Erica!!!! That is so exciting! And we are all so excited to see your planning thread, but more importantly your wedding pics which are going to be TOTALLY amazing!!!

croquet: Alice in Wonderland

Just to add a bit to Tammy's comment... I moved to a new town when I started my MBA, and my whole life revolved around my classmates and the school's academic and social calendar, ESPECIALLY the first year. Admitedly, I was single, so I didn't have to concern myself with a significant other. But I can understand how your FI is getting caught up. Every day he's hearing the same things from his classmates - yes the party is dumb, but it will be fun! C'mon man, you gotta go! Blah, blah. Here's my advice. GO TO THE PARTY! I say this for two reasons. (1) You need to get to know his B-school friends and be part of their social scene or they will always think of you as the party-pooper. (2) Make the effort for him, and know that a day will come when you're supposed to be going to see him and a concert or a friend's b-day party falls on that weekend and you will want to stay put. Then you have the right to turn the tables. But seriously, yes the party will be dumb. GO. Just go. You need to be a part of his b-school life - you don't want to be left behind. So go and have a wild time and make sure all his new friends know how fantastic and fun you are. After that, they'll be telling hiim that he can't go to the parties if he doesn't bring you.

We used Cancun Valet - their prices were great, and they were really on the ball. Home - Cancun Valet If you call, ask for Vic.

Oh PLEASE! He won't go because it's for football... and he wants a free pass?!?! And by the way... its HIS AUNT? Take Yari's advice and tell him to shove the pass where the sun don't shine.

LOOOOOOVE the dress! So pretty! You're going to look amazing!

I had my oldest nephew hold mine and he had his oldest niece hold his. At the appropriate time, they both came up, handed us the rings and gave us hugs. It was really sweet.

First, let me just say that I am SO, SO sorry you're going through this right now. I don't have any great words of wisdom for you, but you need to sit down with FI and really talk to him - make him tell you what's going on in his head. Ask the kinds of questions to get him to really talk to you - the sorts of questions where you don't give him possible answers but actually probe into his thoughts and feelings. I'm hoping (so very much) that it's a panicky-cold-feet-lost-my-job reaction, and that it will pass. But, in the interim, you DON'T leave. If someone has to go it's him. And frankly, until he gets this straightened out, I'd also have him sleep on the couch/guest room. It's no fair to you to have him tell you he doesn't want to marry you and then come join you in bed. That's just too much of an emotional roller coaster. Stay strong, and let us know how we can help!

skiing: cocoa with baileys

Sooo... I was doing some stealthy work avoidance and found the official "talk like a pirate day" website. (The Official site for International Talk Like A Pirate Day - September 19) They say this: Q. The big one: WHY? A. Why not? Talking like a pirate is fun. It's really that simple. It adds a zest, a swagger, to your every day conversation. Do you need another reason? Try it out. Let go, have a beer, burp in public. Say "Aarrr!!" Feels good, doesn't it? And for the whole story go here:International Talk Like A Pirate Day - How It All Began

Definitely callas of some variety.

soon: WEEKEND!!!

A little boy dresses up as a pirate for halloween. He has a bit of a speech impediment. The first house he goes to he says, "I'm a birate. This is my barrot. Can I have some bandy?" The woman looks at him and says, "My my aren't you cute. But where are your buccaneers?" The boy looks are her angrily and says "On the side of my buckin head you buckin dumass."

I have read it several hundred times. Is there a template for your welcome book. They are soooo cute! Sure... it's here: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t25149

I had an ivory dress and FI had a white shirt. It was totally fine. Take a look at some of my pics if you want to see how they look. There are several threads... just search for them.
