Your guests will really appreciate that!

I just clocked in 1 hour - so excited!

I think most of the flights affected are smaller planes. My mom is booked on American next week to go to a wedding in the USVI. I hope this gets cleared up soon!!!! NZ (CNN) -- American Airlines canceled more than 900 flights Thursday as it continues to perform safety inspections on certain jets It's the third consecutive day of cancellations for American Airlines, which has apologized to customers and offered to make amends with refunds, vouchers, and compensation for overnight stays. American also canceled several hundred flights for the same reason about two weeks ago. Roger Frizzell, an airline spokesman, said the inspections involve technical compliance as opposed to flight safety. Alaska Airlines said it had canceled 11 flights on Thursday for safety checks. Midwest Airlines canceled at least 10 Thursday flights, a spokesman told The Associated Press. Delta, Southwest, and United Airlines also have canceled a number of flights in recent weeks for safety checks. American Airlines canceled 1,094 flights on Wednesday -- 43 percent of its total daily flights -- and 460 flights the day before, the company said in a statement. The flights were scrapped so inspectors could make sure the airline complied with a federal directive relating to how wires should be bundled in the wheel well of MD-80 jets, the company said. "We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our customers," Chief Executive Gerard Arpey said in a statement. "American will do whatever it takes to assist those affected by these flight changes, and our employees are working hard to ensure that we remain their choice for air travel." Inspectors had checked 179 of the 300 MD-80s in American's fleet by Wednesday afternoon, the company said. It said 60 of the 179 returned to service while 119 were "still undergoing work." Passengers scheduled to fly on an American Airlines MD-80 between Tuesday and Friday can receive a full refund or apply the value of their ticket to a future flight, the airline said. People who stayed overnight as a result of a canceled flight can contact the company's Web site to inquire about receiving compensation. The cancellations Wednesday caused long lines in several airports. Representatives at Chicago O'Hare International Airport said they were doing all they can to "assist passengers affected by the American Airlines cancellations." At Dallas Forth Worth International Airport, representatives provided "cots, baby formula and all-night eateries."

Alex- your makeup looks great! And I love the hair style you chose! You are going to be such a beautiful bride!!!

I love the dress. If your BM's are ok with the price I say go for it!

not yet...but i have a date with the stairmaster this afternoon!!

That is so cool....you used real sand. You could make this a FT job and give papyrus a run for their money!

We chose 2.14.09 because it will be very easy to rememeber. It's a long weekend in 2009 and I think it will be so romantic to celebrate our anniversary on a day made for love for the rest of our lives. On a side note, Dean does not believe in Valentine's Day, so it;s also a way for me to get a good present on v-day form now on too !!

Welcome to the forum - congrats!!!!

I am a little late to this party, but that is a great dress! I think you are doing so many great things there: You have an empire waist which makes the dress fall very nicely on you and it's very flattering! you have a nice flowing fabric that does not creat any bulk and looks very airy. and the color is great! I agree with the longer necklace (not a "y" shape) that will help create a longer line. And let's not talk about the fact that you have paired it with the perfect sandal already- something that is strapless and makes your legs look even longer! I think you have a winner here - everything looks fabulous!

I know what you mean! When I went to my first appointment I was super cautious and I asked Annie not to show me anything "one penny over my budget." It was funny because she told me not to look at this vera wang that was hanging in the room because it was about $8500 - YIKES!! You might check out this site for preowned dresses...there are a few melissa sweets on there. I looked for a dress that I love there, but everyone who had it was 5'4" and had it cut for their height. Good luck!!!! View Dresses

Sorry to hear that. I agreee that you are doing the right thing by having them return the dress. The last thing anyone wants is to be unconfortable on your wedding day when they have responsibilities and the like. You still have plenty of time to get another dress together that everyone can buy off the rack...have you looked at bluefly lately? or maybe a non-wedding dress from j crew?

Jenny I love this. You have the best ideas. I made an BM newsletter after seeing yours, I may have to steal this too - what will you think of next !!!!

Thanks for all the feedback ladies!!! Seems like #1 is the crowd favorite. This was my mom's favorite as well, so when I told her that everyone on the forum loved it she said my friends have good taste I have one more appointment and then I will be ready to make a decision - so excited!!!

welcome back! we missed you!!!
