I love #2. The fitted dress. I to have hips and everything else and was worried about the same thing, but once I got the dress fitted to my size, all was great.

I like #1 the best.

My mother was German and her sister used to send chocolate from Berlin all the time. Both have since passed and I miss it. 8: Who has made the biggest impact in your life? I would have to say my mother. She came to this country not speaking a word of English, but she learned. She learned how to cook american food, live the american way but also to incorporate her German heritage into our family. She didn't even learn how to drive until she was 48! She taught my sisters and I how to be strong women. 9: If you were a crayola crayon, what color would you be, and why? Blue, because it is the color of the Ocean. 10: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? This is a hard question because I haven't been everywhere. But for right now, it may be North Carolina. Raleigh to be specific. It is only an 8 hour drive to Columbus and my girls, and a short 2 hour drive to the BEACH! 11: How many siblings do you have?

Are you kidding? I just got laid off and now I am trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up and I am 47! Not many choices for me. You have so many. Explore what you enjoy. Don't do like I did and stay in a job for 21 years just because you are good at what you do, but don't really like it. I should have changed careers a long time ago. I still don't know what I want or like to do.......

Everything looks great. You did a wonderful job! Good luck and have a perfect wedding day.

Congratulations Mrs. Ellis. I am so happy eveything went great. Can't wait to see pics.

Congrats Karma, Steve and Hannah! I can't wait to see pics.

Mine were $1.68 each. I had to put mine in a box because they had a shell on them. I paid almost $50.00 to mail 30.

Those are amazing!

For us, I had a heck of a time getting people to RSVP on our website. Only the really computer saavy people would do it.

This is a great site!

I think they are so cute and very creative.

Congrats Tara and Patrick. I hope your day was perfect.

Have you tried any of the dollar stores? Dollar Nights

Ok, I'm going to throw something out there. Have you thought about having both weddings at the same time in Mexico? This way all of the guests, and you will have some common guests, will only have to pay for one trip. They don't necessarily have to be at the same resort, just the same week or overlapping somehow. The only con I see about this would be that it is your day and your wedding and you will have to share the thunder with your FSIL. But, it might be fun! You could definately share some costs.

WOW you did an outstanding job on everything! Have a great time and a wonderful wedding. Congrats!

Awwww. I'm sure you did absolutely great. We are often our own worst critics.

I want a weekend at the beach. I really need to have this!

Your pics are great. It looks like you guys had a great time.

I am going out in a bit and I will check the store that I called yesterday. I will post when I get back.

Amanda, have the best day ever! I know you will be a beautiful bride.

Welcome. Your wedding is coming up very soon!

Congrats Stephanie. Have a wonderful wedding day!
