I am a die hard fan of Benetint and i have not found a better stain out there, although I think Lorac makes something comparable. As for the big kiss I think layering Benetint with a shiny lip balm like Rosebud Salve would be great! http://www.sephora.com/browse/brand_...equestid=71569 If you order $50 from Sephora you get free shipping (unless there is a Sephora store near you). I am addicted to lip gloss myself (my faves are Stila, Dior and Canel makes a great one called "Glaze". On the big day I think I am going with a lipstick by Nars...something pinky and natural looking. I have a red lipstick by Nars and it NEVER comes off. Good Luck!

congratulations yari!! You're sure to get some fabulous pictures!

Congratulations!!! I thought Riviera Maya had a lot of resorts. If that was your first choice I would dig a little deeper there. Unless you love the DR too!! Happy planning!

I just finished my exam. I hope I passed but at this point I could care less because it is OVER!!! now I can obsess over the wedding. You girls are going to see a lot more of me around here!!!

Go for it! T-T-D! T-T-D!!

Welcome to the forum Elizabeth! When I chose our destination, a couple things went into it. I love the name of the place (Zihuatanejo means "land of women" and I am definitely a girls' girl. Then it came to the date. Because we are getting maried on a popular holiday it limited my choices. Some of the hotels in Zihua would not allow weddings larger than 10 people dring their high season, so this might be something you ask the resot you are interested in. Good luck an congratulations!!!

Quote: So, as promised, here is me after I comb my curly hair... what a mess! I'm with Future Mrs B/ Future Mommy B on this one. Please don't get a weave! Your hair is beautiful and it looks like you have plenty there to get the up-dos that you posted (which are really pretty btw). I think if you are planning to get an up-do like that you will not have to worry about the humidity. Is your reception outdoors?

Welcome to the forum! Love your TTD pics with the wellies!!

Too bad, so sad! I love pop the question, but I have to wonder about his sense of reason. A $12k diamond inside a shifty helium balloon is a recipe for disaster - what a nincompoop! (i couldn't resist that one)

miami university, huh? When I was younger (like 12) I always thought it was so funny how miami was in ohio I remember they had a pretty good basketball team...

Maura, where did you go to school? DC had the same brothel regulations in effect, so no sorority houses....Of course there were frat houses al over the place. I think they recently made suites in some of the newer dorms.

How many on your line? we had 12 so I was holding up the back. very fun..... Thanks for the sweet gift lady p!!!!

Quote: mauraw Re: Who was in a sorority? does anybody else's sorority tell you to attach your pin to the underside of your dress for good luck on your wedding day? tri delt does, and when my best friend got married in 2006, i got the honor of putting her pin on her dress she is going to do the same for me in august, which i am so excited about. Maura- I LOVE this idea. I gave my pin to my spec (special little sister) years ago...I wonder if she still has it...

That is way too funny. Well the song is a tradition and it's called the Sweetheart Song....it's sooooo super cute

Ahhhh..This could make a great TTD ensemble. A phtographer told me she had a bride bring a second dress she found on sale for her TTD. I haven't even begun dress shopping...

I joined a sorority in college and I don't know what my life would be like if I hadn't...Well, it would be ok, but it would be very different. One of my BM's was one of my line sisters. I am really excited about the ceremony because all of my sorority sisters at the wedding (there will probably be about 11 or so) sing a song to me during the reception. I have always wanted to sit n the middle of that circle at a wedding so I am super excited about it!!!!

That's a great pic of the 1/2 up hair. I think it would hold a tiara up nicely too...

I have not ben able to find anything, but I did just post a link to the knot on bridal haristyles. Maybe you can find something similar there...Good luck! In the meantime I will still keep an eye out. I know how it is to get attached to something you love!!! Slideshows

Thanks Alyssa - this is a great site!

I feel so behind on the wedding planning. I have done absolutely nothing and the only thing standing between me and working on my STD's, invites, BM dresses, website, vendors, etc is this test I have for work on Thursday. I have been studying non-stop and I get distracted by the BDW forum cuz it's so fun and then I feel guilty and go back to studying. I can't wait until this test is over and I can be a real BTB and try to join the DIY club....I wanna be like Morgan when I grow up Just had to get that off my chest this morning....

There was a pretty cool spread on the knot this morning highlighting trends in wedding hairstyles. Slideshows I think most brides wear their hair up on their wedding day (it was quoted as somewhere around 90% on bridezilla, but that's subject to error) I am planning to wear my hair down on the big day. What about you ladies?

Way to goYari!! 30 minutes is great. It's usually what I try to do when I a super tired or pressed for time like today. I did 20 min on the stairmaster and then lifted with interval sprints for about 15 min. I feel so much better after a good workout! I need this type of thread to keep me motivated. My goal is to transform my body before I hit the big 3-0! I want to get some more ink on my belly, but I gotta get it tight before I go there...

I also like "Like a Star" by Corrine Bailey Rae and "Still the One" by Shania Twain. MY FI hates it all!! That is such a great song!!! LOVE Sade! And i love that pink elephant too. I wish i had tht much energy....

snarf. Immortalize by the little cat on Thundercats. It is a weird sort of laughing sound that my friend's mom makes. so when something really funny happens we both go "snarf-snarf." This posting has made me realize i am a little strange...
