Tara

Wow! Those photos are gorgeous and it really does look like it was a fantastic shower.

I was 23. I'll be 25 when we get married, Fi will be a month shy of 27. We've been dating since I was 18 and he was 19.

They are very sexy and those waves look fierce!

Looks awesome! Great work.

myspace.com/tararae I have facebook, too! How awful is that?!

Hello and congratulations on your wedding!

Hiram knew what kind of stone that I had wanted just from general discussion before he selected the ering, but we had never discussed bands so he just selected something very simplistic with the intention that we could change it when we get wedding bands.

Congrats and happy planning!

Love the pics! Looks and sounds like you had a wonderful time. Congratulations!

They look awesome! Good job.

Congratulations! Can't wait to hear where you decide to wed. Best wishes and happy planning!

The hammock and ttd shots are gorgeous!

I love it! I think it's adorable. Great choice.

Well unfortunately I can't help you out with Bermuda. My DW is taking place in Jamaica, but congratulations and happy planning! You've come to the right place for information.

Congratulations and happy planning!

Those are very cute!

Wow! The wedding looked beautiful. The colors you picked are absolutely stunning!

Oh Edna, so sorry to hear all that. Fi and I spent some time apart last year and it did wonders for us. Hopefully the same will be true for you, but put your health first, lady!

I'm so excited..I finally can help my FI with this damn house! That's great! And with a fat lip, too! Just imagine if you had gone in there normally, maybe you could've been branch manager! Hehehe1 Congratulations!

Hahaha! This thread is hysterical. As far as appreciating the men in our lives, I completely agree. Hiram works today and I have the day off. Tomorrow he is being forced to spend the day with my mom's crazy family so I think when he gets home tonight I will "apologize in advance." Now as far as the parent/sex thing.... my parents divorced when I was only two. HOWEVER, they both have had their share of flings and neither have ever remarried. Fi enjoys razzing me about my dad because he knows it gets my goat. Dad is turning 50 while we are in Jamaica for the wedding and he looks about 35 (and he knows it). Hi, my name is Tara and my dad is a man-whore.

Congratulations on your engagement and happy planning!

Yikes! That's scary. Maybe since the official advisory has come out the people behind the thefts will chill out a little. Hopefully at least long enough for you to go down there and enjoy yourselves. And I want to imagine that things paid for at your hotel would be safe. My advice is to just avoid using plastic as much as possible except for the big ticket items like your wedding that you would want the Credit Card company to back up for you.

Whew! That dress is smokin'! Pardon the cliche. Awesome choice though. And the bustling looks great.

I never even thought of this as a possibility. Yikes! Hopefully cards would be all that anyone would consider lugging along, though I prefer they not even do that.

Very nice choice. Like you said, it's definitely something that is wearable again which is really important.
