I also really regret not doing a TTD...we just jumped in the pool & did a couple pics, but nothing hot & sexy or even romantic at all for that matter. I am just so disappointed & I know this is something I can never get back. I'm just going to have to suck it up & focus on my life with my new husband. I hate feeling so depressed after what should have been the best day of my life. I'm starting to wonder if you are in my head!!! I have the same exact thoughts. At first I hated looking at how crappy my pictures are. No good shots, we look posed and stupid, my kids got tired of the lady taking the pictures because she wouldn't shut up! And, it has been 4 months since the wedding and DH still does not wear his ring. Whatever!!! Then to add to my F'd up life right now, I got this stupid job with H&R Block doing taxes. OMG it sucks!!! The manager can't seem to schedule anyone correctly. They put me thru a crash training course then just dumped me in a chair to do taxes. I totally F'd up the first one I did. It is not hard it's just a lot of stuff to remember using their system. I am so frustrated!!! I have to find a real job soon. My DH seems to think that because I don't have a job, that I am supposed to have time to do everything else while he does nothing but go to work.

I am having the same problem. When I got engaged I knew I had to lose weight. I had gained about 15 pounds while my Mom was sick. I got engaged 12/25/2007 and she passed 12/28/2007. I started my wedding planning and weight loss program at the end of January 2008. I did so good and lost 20lbs. I then was laid off of my job in October '08 and I have been having such a hard time since then. I worked there for 21 years and I think I am having some depression over losing my job. I cannot get motivated about anything. In January I started making some crazy decisions. 1.start taking Chantix to stop smoking. 2. go back to school 3. take H&R block classes 4. start BDW BL5 I think I have totally overwhelmed myself. Yes I quit smoking but now eating everything. School is going good, but I realized I am do not have an artistic bone in my body but I am going to school for graphic design WTF! I crammed a 11 week H&R Block class into 40 hours and have yet to do a tax return. Since BDW BL5 started, I have gained 1 pound! I can't take this anymore. I have gained 11 lbs since the wedding. my clothes don't fit and I was planning to do a BD shoot for 1st anniversary present. Sorry for the ranting........

I just love the RSVP postcards! They are so adorable.

congratulations! I am so happy to hear this. Take it from me, it is no fun out hear looking for a job.

I am right there with you. I joined BL on BDW and all I keep doing is gaining. I think the idea is to be the biggest LOSER. I probably will be the biggest loser because I will be the only one that gained weight!

You tell 'em Becks! I hope it made you feel better. I was having a pretty crappy day and you made me laugh. Thanks so much!

Congrats Amy!

Sign up for Ovulation Calendar and Ovulation Chart - FertilityFriend.com or some other charting site and chart your temps and cycles. I wish I would have started this way before we started TTC. It tells you so much about when you are fertile etc. Some people choose to just do it naturally and whatever happens happens but apparently I am not lucky enough to be one of those people lol. You ladies do to much work! All I had to to was look at it and I got pregnant!

I love them! I wish you would have found it 7 months ago! lol They have such cute styles.

My girlfriend is flying in from Jersey (actually my MOH) and we have no idea what we are going to do. I don't typically do a big valentine day thing with my DH. We decided this a few years ago when it was so difficult to get into a restaurant, hotel, etc. during Valentine day. So we will just do our romantic Valentine get away during the "slow" season.

Ok, my big confession is it has been 3 weeks since I quit smoking and I want a cigarette NOW! I swore I would not start eating to replace smoking, but it is so hard. I am totally aware of how bad it is for me but maybe confessing will make the craving go away.

Wow I thought I was the only one that felt let down after the wedding! I hated it. (well, that may be a little strong). I spent the day of the wedding running around, setting up the reception area, picking up dresses, giving instructions, etc while everyone else was at the pool or beach! I never even got to the beach until it was time to take pictures. The DH and my kids were so pissed at the Photog that we didn't get pictures that I wanted to take. My sister didn't bother to come to the reception and for some reason, we got to the reception first! Where was everybody? They all showed up about 45 minutes later. All of the pictures from the reception were all dark. Ok, enough complaining. It was still better than the first time when I went to the Courthouse then for my honeymoon we went to see The Predator II where I promptly fell asleep. LOL

I have this dress that I will sell for $20.00 This dress is a size 10 with no alterations. Or my original dress I'm selling for $40.00. This dress is a size 10 but was let out on the sides and hemmed. I am 5'. PM me if you want better pics. I will email them to you.

They have a lot of inexpensive stuff at cutesygirl.com. This is also where I am getting my shoes. I am doing my BD shoot for 1st anniversary.

I got these same shoes from Cutseygirl.com. CutesyGirl.com | Trendy, Chic, Fashionable Women's Shoes, boots, clothing They have a lot of "slutty" shoes that are very cheap! lol

I have the pink patent shoes and I was going to wear them with my dress but they just did not look right. I love the shoes, though. The polka dot will probably look better. I love, love dress #2.

Happy wedding day to both of you. I hope your day is filled with happiness!

I have had the worst week. No time to exercise. I am going to school during the day and taking tax classes in the evening. Uggggg! My brain is fried and to top it all off, I quit smoking and want to eat everything! This is so hard, but I am going to keep at it. I did not gain or lose. Next week I only have daytime classes so maybe I can work out a little. Good luck everyone. You are doing great!

Your dress is perfect. Great choice and it looks great on you.

I was hoping for 20-25 and I had 36 confirm but two just didn't show up. Our wedding was in September '08.

I had one MOH, 1 BM and my adult daughters walked me down the aisle. I did not ask my sisters and DH did not ask his brother. It was just simpler that way.

Congrats to you and Chicklet! Have a great time and a wonderful wedding.

You looked beautiful! It looked like you both had a great time. Congrats. Love the picture with the parasols!

I can't imagine how cold they are! I know it is cold here and I live in Ohio. It was only 7 degrees today. They seem to think that everyone is off of the plane now.

You did a great job on everything. I hope you have a wonderful time. We did the cruise thing but we got married before we left. I love your dress!
