welcome to the board!

welcome to the board!

Go you lady....its never too late to train...not only do you have time to see results for your wedding...but you will feel better too! FI has a PT, so I went for a few sessions recently...i swear i came out of the studying crying!! she would work me soo hard!! I had to stop because of a family bereavement, but defo think if I had managed to keep going results would have been seen!

I'd like to lose 20 lbs but I know it would be misery to do it. So, I'd be happy with 10-15 lbs. I think that's attainable seeing as my wedding is Feb 1, 2010!! Anyway, sorry for the rambling! I'm going to check out the books you and starchild recommended! Thanks! I'm also a 2010 bride - I'm 25 and probably around 155lbs just now, and am 5'5" - can't believe i have got to this weight, but the older i have got, the lazier i have got!! But my aim is to get down to about 135-140 pounds for the wedding. for now, my aim is to not gain anymore weight. I've got a really good gym membership so will just try to start using that again, get in the routine of going, and make it a part of my life...then once i'm used to that, i'll start a weight lose programme. Easier said that done though!!...

Hey girl I'm planning on using an outside photographer, but am going to go with the free wedding package at mp, then pay for all the extras separately, like the horse and carriage. Who are you planning on bringing in for your wedding photos?

oooh I like everyones opinions on this here! when we originally announced the wedding plans, we told everyone that we would be having a party when we come back...we actually put it on our save the dates...but the deeper we get into the planning process, the more i'd rather just spend the money we would spend on having the reception back here, on having an amazing reception in mexico! i know some people might think it defeats the purpose of going AI, but we are planning on spending a big chunk of our budget on a photographer....so i'd defo prefer to forget about the party back here! We'll see nearer the time, it depends how many people do actually travel over with us! But you defo do not need to have one!

I agree with other comments made, you and your hubbie-to-be need to decide what YOU want - its YOUR wedding day - soo many people look back on their wedding days saying "it was lovely but i wish i had done this.." because they were trying soo hard to please other people. We are coming from the UK so it is going to be pretty expensive for people to attend our wedding, thats one of the reasons we are inviting family only. We know our immediate family are defo coming, anyone else is a bonus. But we knew not everyone would be able to afford it when we decided on a destination wedding. Thats why we will have a party when we come back, unless everyone does come!lol The way our guests are looking at it, it will be their summer holiday for that year!

Gwen is gorgeous!! that wee chair she is in looks sooo comfy!!

can't wait to see your piccies when you come back! have a great time!!

waw you are soo lucky! my FI wouldn't do that either!! have to say, your eyebrows look AMAZING!!!

Just had a wee look at your pictures - you looked beautiful! And the sun was shining for all your photos - congrats lady!

H2B and I spend alot of time together...but we aren't joined at the hip! He is currently in Nice on business, and has been since monday....we haven't spoke since he left, a few texts, but thats it. sometimes a bit of time away from each other is good for a relationship IMO. In a normal week, he does work long hours, and i work fulltime as well as studying 2 nights a week...so we don't get to spend a whole lot of time together. We only phone each other during working hours if its an emergency too.

you are such a beautiful bride..and your son is super cute in his wee outfit!

i likey like like like your dress!

I prefer the blue one for a BM...but the first picture, the cute little cream/ivory dress - i'd totally wear that in the evening if i was going to do a wardrobe change..or maybe for the rehearsal dinner...BOOKMARKED!!!

i've never smoked, so all i can really say is well done! all your hard work at this end will be worth it when you start to taste food differently, smell things differently...and notice more money in your purse at the end of the week! Be strong lady!

very impressive lady

hey fellow uker! I got message in a bottle invites from hansonellis.com....you should check them out, they are soo beautiful...you can get them engraved...i did and just love them...i got them back in march and everyone loved them...they are supposed to be with you around 4 weeks after ordering, but when i ordered mine they had ran out of the paper so that delayed them by just over a week, then they were held in uk customs for 5 days!! ragin, but they came in the end and i love them! xxxxx

ha ha hilarious!

very nice!

I agree with the above post - but having hair like jessica simpson ain't a bad thing!!! woot woot

I agree with everyone else, don't take what is written on trip advisor as gospel....I personally have only ever rated hotels on websites if they were awful, or amazing....never in-between. Looking at Le Blanc on trip advisor, some of the reviews aren't that great, but it is a 5 star hotel!! Some people just can't be pleased!! Dreams is a really really popular choice on this site, so i am sure there are plenty of people on here who can make you feel at ease about your choice!

They look great, really different from other peoples, you should be very proud of what you achieved!

ooh i soo cannot wait to see it...its not out over here til next week...boohoo
