lol on reading ALL of the posts on this thread...I realize I'm not the only one remembering Uncle Jesse and Becky in Full House

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I would tell him tonight...but then again I'm bad at keeping secrets. As for how to tell him, well the only thing that comes to mind is an episode of Full House (yes I can't believe it either that I remember this) lol! but in the episode Rebecca made a dinner, complete with baby carrots and everything else baby on the menu. You can try that. He'll probably be hungry after the game too so that would work. And you can even get little "baby" bottles of pop for him, so if everything is mini then he might get the point.

I'm definitley worried. I love my dress, but then Michael and I were looking through a magazine and we came across a similar dress and he HATED it I got so mad and totally picked a fight! Poor guy had no idea what I was on...but now I'm actually REALLY REALLY worried. I'm almost 100% positive that he's going to hate it just like he hated the picture.

OO here's some more! (this is way more fun than doing actual work...lol) Platinum Bridal Gown Runway Gallery One |Platinum Bridal Gowns View All Style Ricki | Priscilla of Boston Marianne Lanting Couture check "June"

I'm not a huge VS fan as i have no boobs and they don't make very many things for small breasted women. Clair pettibone has some pretty things as well...more for your wedding night. Did you find BD photographer close to you? I'll check Clair Pettibone out too thanks And yes I did find a BD photographer! wohoo! I'm sooo excited! I made the appointment for July 27th....so I have time to get in shape..lol! I'm sending her the signed contract and the deposit today..so that's another thing scratched off the list. In the process I also decided on a photographer to do our engagement pics here are their links: BD photographer: Cora's Photography E-session: Tickle My Heart The BD photographer has an amazing deal too $250 for the 1-2 hr session, all the negatives on CD + the book! Now all I have to do is work my butt off (literally) and get into shape! Are you doing this too?

I love the first one of Katie, its super cute. I had the second hair cut (longer hair though but same bangs) about a year ago, and its really hard to maintain. The problem is that your bangs will be pressed against your head, so they'll only hold that straight shape when you actually straigthen it. After a couple of hours your natural face oils, hair oils and the outside elements (humidity, wind etc) change it and it won't look the same. I found I had to have a straightener on me almost all the time in order to maintain the look its really hot in pictures though!

Welcome to the forum!

I wish we had Target and VS in Canada! boo! at least with VS I can order online. I never thought to check Frederick's too...thanks!

I'm thinking to do something like this...+ fake eyelashes which are a must. Even if you do a super simple makeup look, eyelashes just make your eyes pop in pics. I don't go to any big event without them

thanks for the info

Seeing all the threads about BD books and photography inspired me to post this. I'm not sure whether there is a thread about this already but I didn't see one. I thought we could all post links etc... for cute and sexy wear for the BD shoot and the honeymoon. Here is one that I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! They have a store here in Vancouver and its the most fun walking in there. The whole atmosphere of the store is sexy and flirty as are their outfits. There is something for everyone Lingerie by Agent Provocateur | Classic to exotic lingerie | Always erotic

everything is so awesome!

Let me get our son down so that he can have some quiet so that he can study. I start finding other things to do,. trust me I WANT HIM but and he wants me but he has to look at me. I feel fat. I totally understand what you mean. The funny thing is that I don't think that our FI's and husbands see us the way we see ourselves. We're way more critical than other people, and we focus on the little things, that otherwise would go unnoticed. I think that's why my FI and I argue about it, he doesn't understand why I don't think I'm attractive when he thinks that I am. I'm sure its the same for all of you girls. Your men find you irresistable and that's awesome! If only we could somehow see ourselves through their eyes

I'm pretty sure that any bridal shop of fabric store should be able to provide you with swatches.

they're really pretty good job!

Thanks Samatha! this is awesome!

in a weird way I'm feeling a bit better knowing I'm not the only one feeling this way

Amy you're doing so well! that's awesome! you must be so proud of yourself. You're totally motivating me to go

I've been having a similar issue as well. I think in part mine has to do with the birth control pill that I'm on. Its a pretty common side effect. For the first part of our relationship I wasn't on it but after I started my drive has gone out the window. But I don't think its only caused by that so I don't want to blame all of it on the pill. Also, before I met my FI I was in really good shape. Running and working out with a trainer etc. I had a good eating regiment and I was really proud of the way I looked. Once I met Michael and I moved to Vancouver my workout/eating routine went out the window and I got a bit soft again. Since I feel gross about myself I find it hard to feel sexy and want to be intimate. I can't remember whether I read this somewhere or if I saw it on tv...but I remember a counsellor saying that for women their sex drive is influenced by a million little things, diet, body perception, emotional intimacy, stress etc... anything can sort of throw it off. Usually though its issues within ourselves that we need to workout. For me too, because we live together I find its easy to be lazy, and just put it off. Its hard with work, studying, workingout, keeping the house from falling apart etc.. to have alot of extra time, so its easy to say I'm tired and I don't feel like it...lol. Actually my friend was saying she never feels like it anymore but just does it anyways, because even if you don't really want to at that moment, you never say to yourself "oh boy I wish I hadn't done that" once its over. Chances are you are happy...so maybe the trick for me is to just suck it up and do it. As well as continuing to try and workout and get back on track with my body, because if I feel good it will show I think.

I have never actually been to Cabo but we're getting married at Dreams. From what we know of it, and the pics we've seen, we absolutely love it. Since a big part of their business is weddings it seems quite romantic too, and small enough for it to feel intimate. Goodluck with your research.

Welcome to another Cabo bride!! Happy Planning!

Welcome Kristina and congrats on picking a date and a location! Happy planning!
