Goldstein to Be

What a great deal! It looks fab!

I LOVE bare escentuals. I have really sensitive skin. I can only use all-natural mascara and eye liners because I get eyelid dermatitis (the skin on my eyelids below my brow turns bright ready and gets EXTREMELY drive and flaky). That's probably way too much info. Anyway, I've been using BE for the last 2 years and love it. My skin is really clear and I don't have any problems from it.

OMG! It looks beautiful! I love her bouquet.

Congrats. It looks like a really special ceremony. BTW you're kids are adorable!

Congrats! Let us know how we can help.

I love the postcard idea. I love getting mail so it would be fun to come home from our honeymoon to a house full of fun mail. Plus, I like the fact that each person will have time to write something meaningful to us rather than a generic, rushed message.

This so sick and twisted. My heart goes out to the victim's family and all of the people on the bus- they must be so traumatized!

Congrats! That's super exciting!

These are amazing. I can't wait to copy you

One word...GORGEOUS!

Maura - I think that's a really pretty dress. I don't think you should worry where it comes from if you like it.

Sam agreed... and when he came back and decided to pursue me officially, we made the committment. He also apologized for kissing me without "guarding my heart" earlier in our relationship. I don't think it is something other people should do... and its not something we are doing to be admired by others... we are doing it to love each other before marriage... and for us, this just happens to be the most loving. You're story totally gives me chills! That is so sweet and romantic. I don't know very many people who would do this. I'm sure it is going to make the wedding even more special (if that's even possible). Now I can see why he wants to spend the ENTIRE day in bed. It's really awesome that you found someone so special.

That's just gross and wrong! If a person actually did that, they'll get what they deserve, karma can be a nasty thing.

We were considering having our wedding in PV in July so that family with kids could still make it. We decided against it because we it is supposed to be very hot and very rainy. I love the idea of doing the legal ceremony on your anniversary and the reception another time. In fact, I'm going to go home and see if the FI would go for that plan...

This is awesome. This is exactly why we are doing something 'really nontraditional' (that's what FI's fam keeps saying) and doing a destination wedding.

Wow! This thread is awesome! Makes me feel sooo normal. Today has been one of those days, so forgive me.... Dear Renters, When you send a one year lease you committed to paying me rent every month for 12 months. I'm glad to hear that you love the neighborhood and have decided to buy a place nearby. Honestly, that doesn't mean you get to stop paying rent. I leave out of state now - find someone new or continue sending the rent. P.S. someone new = someone reliable that will be respectful to the property and the neighbors and someone that has a job. P.P.S. water the lawn afterall I pay the fucking water bill Dear colleagues, Yes, I've only been there 5 months. Yes, I fired someone. Yes, someone else is quitting - does that mean you should dump more work on me - hell no. Get a grip. Also, just because I'm not into computer games and sports doesn't mean that you should pretend I don't exist. Yes, this is the first time i'm managing this many people. I'm going to make mistakes. I'm not perfect - get over it. P.S. When you whine to my boss about me, I can hear. If you haven't noticed, she seems to be taking my side, so do us all a favor and SHUT UP. Dear residents of San Jose, Are there any normal, chill people living here? I'm ready for some friends that aren't hardcore video game players. How about a BBQ and a beer on Saturday? Dear Mom & Dad, I know you can't afford to help with the wedding. That's ok. We'll figure it out. Dear FMIL & FFIL, You just spent $40K on a new kitchen and $25K on your daughter's wedding. Now you're off to Europe for a month. Ever consider offering to help out a bit with our wedding? Just because we aren't doing a rehearsal dinner doesn't mean your off the hook. Oh, BTW, it's important to FI that his grandparents come - do you think you could actually talk to them and get them to come? Dear Self, Yes, you are out of shape. Get up in the morning and do something about it. Try walking the dog. You're running out of time - surgery is coming and then the wedding. Get moving. To the dishes in the kitchen, Can you please clean yourselves? FI will kill me if the kitchen is still a mess in the morning! Thanks for listening! You guys rock!

I think this sounds like a really cute idea!

First off...here's a big HUG <<>>! Congratulations! I'm sure everything is going to work out and will go well. What style is your dress? Maybe you could have the waistline adjust above your belly?

Those are great! What size envelops did you send them out in?

Welcome! I just moved from Denver to San Jose. I loved it there.

Kerry, that's so exciting...can't wait to see the pics.

You could package it all together in a hamper and wrap it up

These are great!

So, I'm sitting here checking out the forum and realized I'm currently wearing the same shirt that is in my profile pic . Which made me start thinking about wearing outfits to occasions twice. I went to a wedding two weeks ago and wore a cute sun dress. I was thinking about wearing the same dress to my FI's sister's wedding rehearsal dinner next week. I won't be seeing any of the same people but some of my FI's family saw pics from the wedding. Do you think I can get away with wearing it again?

Do what feels right for you. We are considering having an AHR in a friend's backyard just for the friends and family that couldn't make it. It will be totally low key with my dad running the grill. We are just going to get a keg and some wine. We're thinking that we may even do it pot luck style where our friends bring side dished.
