I love the big curls. They look so soft around your face. Very beautiful

I am in the wholesale mortgage industry for the past 6 years and yes, right now is a difficult time. The key to refinancing, only do so if you have a reason (need cash to pay for the wedding, you were in a NegAm loan that is coming due, you are in an adjustable loan and want to get into a fixed, etc...). Do not refinance if you don't have a specific reason. You should refinance to lower your payment and depending on when you obtained your mtg., right now is not a good time as rates have gone insane over the last month. Most of the big banks are in trouble and pulling out so there are fewer and fewer places to go. PM me if you want me to help you see if your situation would benefit you. I am an Area Sales Manager and have done this for several years. Biggest thing I would say is go to someone you trust and ask about the front and back points as the retail loan officers are doing less loans than they used to and some are charging more per loan to make up for it (there are still lots of GREAT LO's out there though, so look around).

These are great! I wish they had white bases versus blk/brown. I am going to buy a pair for my BFF! Thanks

I did this about 5 years ago and we had a blast. You are only snorkling which was the bummer and you want to book on a day where there are not too many people so you get some quality time in the water versus just a few minutes.

I did it in 3 days to make it easy. The first day was just my best friend and she said it was time to go "work". She had me try on about 20 dresses one of every style, neckline, fabric, everything. She did this with me to 1. get the emotions out of the way (which I appreciated because every dress was amazing...) and 2. so when it came to the day to go with mom and girl friends, I knew what looked good on me and had a few to re-try on and picked new ones. I then went back to the same place with mom only to get her emotions out of the way and show here what I had narrowed it down to. The actual wedding dress shopping "day" ended up being great because I had done this. We went to 3 places, and tried on about 9 dresses. Was easy to narrow down by that point. Have fun with it (and don't forget to book a champagne lunch in the middle to give you all a break and a laugh). Remember that you will be in the dressing room with the attendant most likely (all 3 places I went, they never left the room) and no pics...

Bags is definitely going to be the issue for the wedding party (as they are all carrying our stuff). Thanks for posting. I tried them again today (doing daily now) and not having any luck.They actually went up again for us.

I found them at Neiman's last week, not sure if they still have them. When I first went looking (even at the actual Manolo store) they all laughed at me because they were the season from when the movie was filmed so they are basically 1.5 years old. My question is if they new SJP was goign to wear them in 1.5 years, why not wait to release them or make more....duh! This is why they are so hard to find unfortunately.

Did you go to Bride's International? Supposedly it is a huge warehouse with all "knock off" dresses at GREAT prices. A friend of mine bought there. They may also have their seamstress to make one for you if they don't have the one you want.

Thanks...going to order now!

Thank you so much! Ran into the photographer (at the post office) from the magazine that was there shooting pics and she informed me the bridal salon is purchasing the photos. I am hoping I can get them to give me a copy

I like Casadores, and Herradura is my favorite!

WOW, cute idea...be glad you didn't get the X. I could only think of a hamper as well, but I love the monogramed hammer

Thanks Christi! Were you happy with your flowers from FC?

You look like you had so much fun. I love the "girls" pics and the wedding night PG 13's. You look beautiful!

I am of the same mind. When I started, I was adamant that I would not use shells, starfish, or palms in my wedding or materials. Once here I saw how cute they can be and thought about it. However, it really isn't me so I am focusing on color however I am having an issue with a monogram and invites due to it as they all seem to have one of the 3. Go with what you like and the colors you enjoy, the scene will give it the beachy feel.

These came out darling! I love the photo you used and the bright pink metallic paper! Congrats on finishing them, you guests will love them!

I will be in San Diegio this weekend as well! Sorry to miss it. Have fun!!

Congratulations and welcome!!!!

Here we go...not a great shot...

OMG...need we say more. Nothing like an eBay add to make future brides everywhere look bad.

AMAZING! I love how unique and beautiful these are...few couples could pull this off and I felt like we could fee who you are without knowing you.

They are all amazing! based on your height (without being able to see you in them) I would say #1. Good Luck!

We have a 3 1/2 year old and love the dress for your first FG. I think you may want to look at something a little more mature for your 9 yr old (more towards the Jr. BM style). It really depends on how she is as some at that age are very Tweeny and some are still very childish. You know your family, go with what you know (ask the mother what she thinks as well). How fun to have both!

How exciting! Congratulations!!!!
