Melatonin. It's what your body produces naturally to sleep, as you get older your body slowly produces less of it. You can buy it at your local drug store in different mgs. I would buy like the 3 mg, take it the first night, if it makes you to droggy, cut it in half, if it's not enough, take 2 the 2nd night. The FI swears by them. Personally me, I take a prescription sedative. I have big sleep issues due to working nights. I hate having to take pills but if not I'm up literally EVERY hour. Best of luck for my fellow May bride!!

Aww Yael I'm so happy you had your legal day!!! So today at work, I actually had a guy that lives in Bermuda on my game playing. It's funny because the FI and I have never been to Bermuda at all, but we chose to get married there. He was so nice, said the weather is like 70-75 right now there, so it won't be to hot for us. He said he would put in a good word when he goes home tomorrow. So I told him make sure it doesn't rain and it's nice for our wedding!!!

We bought a Sealy Postrupedic. We love it.

I don't think it's an issue with customs at all. Brides bring sand ceremonies back all the time. I think the real issue is food and flowers. I love the idea of what you want to do. I'm hoping we can pour some of the pink Bermuda sand in the bottom of ours also.

Have you girls thought about getting a halter, then just untieing the straps when you are laying out? Also, I use the Jergens body glow, it tends to even out the spot that don't get to much sun!

I have the 'wish it was over' feeling. I'm so tired of all the drama. Even though it has nothing to do with the wedding itself, it's more tied into the AHR 3 weeks after we get back! Neither of us wanted an AHR, but we did it for HIS mother. Now his side of the family really can't even be bothered to either A. Show up or B. RSVP! It's really irking me!

I've done all the OTC shampoos, yes they smell like ass, but didn't really help. I've also bought skin zinc, that helped a bit, but it's really messy and I really like to wear my hair down, so I can't use it when it's down. The past week, I've been washing my hair everyday and just wearing it up so I don't have to dry and straighten it. It seems to help, but whats the sense of having long hair when I can't wear it down!! This is a new Dr I'm going to, so they can't really get me in early. I'm on the cancellation list. We shall see how this goes. Apparently this Dr created his own shampoo for this reason and it works wonders. At this point I'm game for anything!!!

I don't understand why he says if you don't tell him why she has to go thenshe can't go. You should just tell him that you and your FI are doing something special and would like her to be there. Like said before, she'll just go home and tell him anyway....so it may be easier to just tell him. Hahahahahahah I didn't even think about THAT when I posted!!! OMG to funny!!

Hahah FI passed as I was looking at the site. He's like 'now thats cool!'. He has no idea I did a BD shoot! I would have loved to do those instead. He totally loves the pin up girl gig!

I really never understood this either. I 'never' ask the FI if it's ok if I go somewhere. I just flat our say 'I'm going XXX'. We don't give each other a curfew. All we ask of each other is if you are to drunk to drive, call me/him. Or if you are going to be exceptionally late, give me/him a call so we don't worry. If you don't want anyone else to know, I'd ask someone else. If you say something to your bf it could pose an issue and a fight between you 2. I know it's not exactly what you want, but some people are weird in there relationships and really have an issue if you don't agree to how they live it. You are better off not ruffling feathers.

Check out Home away from home. Also, google rental homes in the area you want to have this. I've rented houses many times and it was never that expensive. You can specify how many bedrooms and ect you want.

Lisa, I possibly may have a back up solution for you. I bought these bags last year at 5 Below. They're not white, I have blue, pink and lime green I think. I'd have to check and see what I have left, but I know I have extra and can't go digging right now cause I'm supposed to be leaving for work in a few!! They have a beach mat, and a few other little things in them. Let me know if you want me to take some better pics for you if you would be interested.

Have any of you girls tried this stuff? Annie's Weight Blog I ordered both, I'm thinking of starting this Tuesday since I'm off and its a little over a month till the wedding. My dress is snug, so a loosing 10lbs won't be a bad thing!! I'm just curious, I've never done a cleanse. So I'm scared to leave the house the first day and find that I'm not going to be able to be more then 10 ft from the bathroom!!

Ok Nyssa, that is to damn funny! I told both the old MOH and my new one, I only have a say on the color. It has to be chocolate. You can pick any style you feel comfortable in. Thank god, my new MOH *loves* her dress.

Andi, you're a better person then I am. I told people ahead of time if they aren't booked by a certain date, they can find there own way to the wedding from the ship. I gave my final count to my wedding planner for taxi's a while ago.

It would have to be evening for me. I have my godson's choir concert in the afternoon, aslong as my MOH doesn't decide to drag me anywhere that night, I'm game for it!

Oh Ayita, thats a good idea. I should prolly have the FI try his ring on!! Thank god my new MOH's dress came in early, my mom and her are trying to get in over the weekend for her fitting. Tomorrow I'll have my BD pics!! I can't wait for you girls to see them!!

Oh Casey that is so lame!! Why won't they give you the full 10%? It's not your fault the size changed! I'm so burnt out on wedding stuff right now. Anyone else feeling the same way? Although we did have a blast this past weekend. As soon as my MOH gets me the pics I'll post them! Even though we only have a few from before we left the house, since we all had a blonde moment and forgot the camera in the car all night!!

OMG Andrea!! I just saw your ticker!!! CONGRATS!!!!

My MOH is doing my borrowed, since they say it's supposed to be from a bride, and my grandmother is no longer with us. I also bought a single strand of ivory pearls, single pearl earrings and a single pearl strand bracelet. I can't wait to see all of it together!

Ok so sounds like the price is average!! Thanks girlies!!

Thanks girls!! The headpiece was actually my grandmothers. It's 56 years old. Now hopefully they can replicate it on the ship!!!

Well I had my hair trial yesterday! I love how it turned out!!! Don't mind me not looking at the camera!! I was super tired from lack of sleep from my bacherlorette party!!

I just went to Mac on saturday. We told her the wedding was in Bermuda. She used a foundation, did my eyes, lips and a little bronzer. It was perfect. I didn't feel cakey or anything. She used just a foundation Studio Sculpt. It gave me a nice satin finish, she didn't even use a powder, just a little bronzer over it to give me a sunkissed look. I had my MOH with me, who is doing my makeup for the wedding, so I didn't get a chart, but they will make one up for you with no problems. Then you can just go home and practice a bit. Be prepared to spent a bit of money, but it is so worth it. And honestly, I picked up 2 eye shadows, liner, lip liner, gloss and foundation and it came to $110. Was way cheaper then I've spent at Lancome before.
