Hey Tammy, I was at the West Elm opening party last night with my MOH and I asked her about the discount thing...everyone she knows that would have helped her out has since left PB so she doesn't have any good contacts there anymore Sorry, I really wish I could have helped you out!

Let's see, let's see!!!

Is this like a powder foundation? Sorry, I've never used foundation before so I'm not sure...

Samantha, you HAVE to let me know how they turn out! I think you and I have very similar hair. Are you getting yours at Sally Beauty Supply too? How wide are the clip-ins? Just like an inch? I think these are going to be the only thing that will work for me... Make sure to take pics! I can't wait to see! Quote: Originally Posted by jesjess That looks GREAT!!! I want them too, but I havn't really been looking yet. I still dont know what color I want my hair to be for the wedding, so I don't know what color to buy... Or is it possible to "paint" the hair? Anyways you look great! When I last had Great Lengths Extensions (the ones that are bonded into your hair), I dyed my hair dark brown after a few months and the extensions took the dye fine. But my hair stylist was surprised, she didn't expect them to. So I wouldn't count on it, just in case.

Welcome Carissa! If you want any info on the Imperial Suite at the Fiesta Americana, let me know. It has that villa feel for the wedding but we aren't staying there all week.

Wow, that dress fits you like a glove! You look amazing in it!

She did say the other day that she doesn't think Jim should be part of the Howard roast, and people were pretty surprised by that! I think the breakup affected her way more than she lets on. She is a woman, after all

Thanks! It isn't really that much though considering I've been engaged for 5 months already...I did a lot in the beginning and pretty much nothing lately!

Great pics Casey! I love them!

I don't love her dress for ME, that's for sure. But if you're marrying Howard Stern, it's perfect!

I'm an Oct 2009 bride! I'm glad to see there are so many of us now. When I first joined I felt like my wedding was sooo far away! We've booked our location (Imperial Suite at the Fiesta Americana), travel details (staying at the Riu Palace in Cabo), WC (Amy Abbott). We also set up a wedding website and sent our Save the Date emails back in July. I purchased my dress a few weeks ago, and next up is invitations. That's as far along as I am though! Oct 2009 seems so far away but I know it's going to come quickly!

I know! She's so weirded out about the Mark thing. Probably because now that she's broken up with Jim, she knows how awkward it is so I'm sure she's trying to stay out of the spotlight. Plus she's probably secretly kinda ashamed of how young he is!

What time did you have your ceremony at?

This cute article was just posted on People: Beth Ostrosky Tells Brides, 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff' By Susan Yara Has the spark gone out of their relationship, now what Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky have finally tied the knot? No way, she says. "It's only gotten better." The best part of married life? "Howard calls me his wife now," the giddy newlywed told PEOPLE Tuesday at the Saks Fifth Avenue launch of their annual Key to the Cure shopping weekend. "It's the first week, so [that's] really exciting." The two were wed in a romantic ceremony at Manhattan's Le Cirque restaurant Oct. 3 – while celeb guests Kelly Ripa, Billy Joel, Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman looked on. So does Ostrosky have any tips for other brides-to-be? "Don't sweat the small stuff," she said. "In the end, the color of the flowers doesn't matter!" – Susan Yara

This was just added to the article: "Yes, it‚s true. Heidi was at STK. She came in to the after party to congratulate me on the show," Conrad tells Usmagazine.com. "It was nice of her. I appreciated it."

OMG you looked gorgeous! I love your dress. I can't wait to see more!

Hmmm...do you guys think this is real or just for the show? BREAKING NEWS: Finally, Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag Reconcile Wednesday October 15, 2008 The Hills stars made up at STK in Los Angeles Tuesday evening. Conrad was in the restaurant celebrating her runway show at Los Angeles fashion week with family and close friends. Meanwhile Montag and beau Spencer Pratt were at the bar eating dinner. After spotting Conrad, Montag was seen asking if she could congratulate Conrad on her clothing line. And after a brief heart to heart, the two girls were seen hugging. They were both smiling and seemed happy to be talking. Soon after, Montag and Pratt left the restaurant. Over the past few weeks, Montag has been vocal about wanting to be friends again. "Obviously I miss her, and she was my best friend for a really long time," she told Extra. "Hopefully one day we will be able to work through this and move on and patch some things up." Conrad also admitted she missed Montag on a recent episode of The Hills.

Yikes, you girls are doing very well with your budgets! Ours is going to come in around $33,000, not including the honeymoon. That's what happens when you don't have your wedding at an AI I guess

He is a diehard Ottawa Senator's fan, and the amount of information I seem to have obtained (player names, numbers, stats, who fights the most, who does the stupidest things, etc.) just from sitting with him while he watches his games (I read while he shouts at the tv) is actually quite impressive. It gets interesting when we have family get togethers during hockey season...My dad is a Leafs fan, my brother is an Oilers fan, and then my dear hubby,the Sens fan...there hasn't been bloodshed tough...yet! Wowsers, I'd say it's just a matter of time until a full-on fight breaks out! Especially between your dad and your hubby - the Sens-Leafs rivalry isn't going to die down anytime soon I don't think!

He sniffed the back end of the Penthouse Game participant. Did he say it smelled like potpourri? When is wife going to divorce him? I swear his wife is going to find another special friend. Haha, special friend...that is awesome. If I was her, I'd have an "emotional friend" too. Sal is a creeper.

They did make it a point to say 'normally they don't allow outside coordinators and photogs, but because our wedding wasn't there, the would make an exception'. I loved that they handled our welcome bags. We had a couple of mix-ups but that was our fault. We should've labeled each bag with the guests name. The Santa Fe put them in the guests rooms and the Palace handed them out upon check-in. Thanks so much, this is great info! Are you going to post the rest of your planning thread too? I want to see all of your stuff!

We listened to Howard for our whole drive home yesterday, so I got to hear all about the wedding, but I missed the "who knows howard best" part! I did hear the VERY end, so I know Robin won. I guess I'll have to wait until they add that clip to Howard TV...I hope it's soon! For any of you that heard it, was it good?

I'm a huge hockey fan too! Growing up with 2 older brothers didn't leave me much of a choice I'm a Leafs fan too so go ahead and make fun all you want. I can take it! I'm also in a hockey pool...for the fourth year in a row. I'm the only girl in it, which I love!

Yay Congrats Erica! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back, and see the pics! Hope you're having an amazing time.

Looks like you had a blast Danielle! Your tee shirt is cute!
