I think this is a very important issue to work out. If he knowingly agreed to a life with you PLUS cats, but isn't willing to work with you when things aren't perfect, it speaks volumes to what you're going to have to deal with in the future. What other things is he going to ask you to give up because it's not working for him at the moment? How many times are you going to have compromise without him budging? It's one thing if he found out after the fact that he's deathly allergic and it is causing him physical pain to be around the cats. It's completely different when it's just mildly inconveniencing him.

I bought them at Walgreens. I believe they were about $10 a pair, and they helped when I was feeling a little seasick on our cruise. If you want to go another way, I would suggest Bonine over Dramamine. Works better and doesn't make you pass out.

The photographer does have a website. It's Atlanta Boudior Photography - Skin Deep Images - Boudoir Photographer - Bridal Boudoir Photography There isn't very many BD pictures, but he states that is because he hasn't had the opportunity to shoot many. I am taking somebody with me, either my sister or FI sister. Maybe I should take a guy friend....somebody BIG...HaHa. I checked out the website, and the photos look a lot more revealing than the other BD pictures the brides on here have done. They almost look porn-ish instead of romantic. And in his blog he said that he talked in some girls sister into taking pictures too. I dunno... I get kinda a weird vibe from his website, like his goal is to have naked pictures of chicks for free and not to offer you free BD pictures. Definitely bring your guy friend there, and definitely have the photog sign a contract that specifically states what he is allowed or not allowed to do with photos. You don't wanna have your kids find you on some website in the future. A contract won't stop him from doing that, but it will at least give you something to use against him if he does. Be careful, and I hope everything goes well for you.

They would have wasted the save on who Simon said doesn't even think they have a chance of winning the whole thing. Why would you save someone who you don't think can win??!! I think the judges are confident that Adam won't be in the bottom two next week. For me, I wouldn't be heartbroken if Allison was gone. Although, Lil did suck this week, so she deserved to be in the bottom three. Plus, they only have one week left to use the save.

Awww... the poor thing has been hitting up trip advisor too much it sounds like. She's probably just trying to make sure the week goes smoothly so stressing about it now instead of then. I would just sit her down and explain that at the AI she's going to have everything she needs within walking distance, so she might want to just relax and take advantage of all the free things on the resort.

Is this stuff available in any stores? I really want some for our site visit next week, but if I order it now, I won't get it in time.

Technically people aren't supposed to sell tanning lotions on ebay. They do it anyway, but some of the sellers are sketchy and put in cheap lotion instead of the product.

I really want to do my hair myself, but I'm super hair inept.

Quote: Originally Posted by Rhonda Hey Ladies! Thanks so much for all of your responses! I have mixed feelings about it all- I definitely want him to enjoy the day (without me). I told him already, that if he hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have even known that he was gone since I'll be busy hanging with the girls and getting ready. But, now, I'm sure I'll worry that something might go wrong (I'm a worrier)....they'll be fishing on a boat--little risky on the wedding day (IMO). I think it would ease my mind if he went a different day or just did something like snorkeling at the resort. I guess he doesn't need to be there all day on the day before the wedding, but, I thought OTHER people might be wondering why he's not around...you know what I mean? But, I guess it doesn't matter....so, I suggested that he go the day before instead...now, he's just pissed about the whole thing...I told him he shouldn't have even asked me my opininon then...just do what you want...right now, I have no time to play these games! (Sorry, just venting a bit) First of all, I don't think the fishing is super risky, so it's not something you should be overly concerned with. Secondly, if he is going to get hurt in any way (which I don't think is probable), it would suck almost as much if he did it the day before. Plus, as far as what the guests think, many of them will spend a bit of time on the wedding day getting themselves ready (I know I would if I were a guest), so they won't be wondering where you and your FI are. I think they would wonder more where he was the day before, and you wouldn't get to spend time with him. If it's timing you're worrying about (such as him coming back late), talk to the guys he's going with and make sure they all know what time they need to be back (and that they'll have to deal with a freaking out bride if they're late). Just ask them nicely to be careful, don't get too loaded, come back on time, and wear sunscreen. Then don't worry about it and go with the flow of the day. Don't think of it so much as him asking your opinion and not caring. I'm sure he was just being courteous so you knew what he'd be up to, and I don't think that he believed you'd have a problem with it. Think of it this way, would you rather worry slightly over something that isn't a big deal or start your marriage off with him resenting you? Trying to control what he does with his free time from Day 1 of the marriage might snowball into a much bigger argument down the line on how he resents not being able to do what he wants when he wants to go watch a game with the guys or go golfing or whatever. Then, you won't really have any leeway on the occasions when it's very important to you that he not do whatever it is he wants to do. I say, tell him you hope he catches a big fish, but you can't wait for him to watch his "catch of the day" walk down the isle. Then, have a mimosa with the girls and enjoy your pampering!

I think if you like your boobs, go ahead and show em! I actually want my dress to show a little more cleavage on my wedding day. As long as they're supported and you feel comfortable, it's no faux-pas. Plus, the girls aren't going to stay up there forever. You might want to savor the times that they do. :-)

You guys are totally welcome. I think I would be happy enough if one of us BDW girls won even if it wasn't me.

I know I'm decreasing my chances of winning by telling you guys, but I like y'all so much that I just can't help it!

These look great, ladies!

Wow, I didn't realize there were so many girls on here from CT. We should do a get together or something.

I'm sad... Lil sucked this week. I think she might be going home. Adam was good, but it wasn't his best. Anoop was a lot better than he's been in the past. Danny was his consistently good self, but nothing super awesome.

Okay, ladies. This time next week, I will be at GBP Tulum chatting it up with the WC and asking all my questions. So.... anyone have something they want me to ask her?

Thanks for the review. Were you familiar with the Mayan blessing ceremony ahead of time? If not, was it difficult to follow?

Think back on the first time and try to remember all the things you liked about certain dresses and then stare at that website between now and your appointment and find 6-8 that fit all your likes. When I went the first time I was convinced I would hate strapless and I ended up loving strapless, I also decided that surprisingly, as a "bigger" girl, I felt better in the stuff that was fitted and kind of "sucked it in" cause my first dress was flowy and I felt it made me look bigger. But trust me, you will know, and as others said its not all tears and stuff, sometimes its just a glow or a smile that won't go away that says it all. Yeah, I like the sucked in at the waist poof out in the skirt dresses, because in comparison to all that poof, my waist looks super tiny. I don't like back fat, but what I really hate is armpit fat. I know that even some supermodels have it, but I think it's gross, and I wish that I could get armpit lipo!

Video! Video!

The article is about the possible lifting of the ban on travel to Cuba so that all Americans can travel to Cuba.
