Our engagement party envelopes were chocolate brown and we wrote on them with a gold paint pen and I have to admit they were pretty hard to read, but the post office said they were fine and all my guests received them just fine! I think it will be okay for you!

I leave on my birthday, wednesday, July 29th and we return the following wednesday, August 5th. I wish we could stay longer, but I have to get back because I am a school teacher.

I say don't change the appointment either. Just be honest and explain why you can't change the date. Also, tell her that you are really excited to try on dresses and you can't wait anymore. I know from experience that you can't accommodate everyone's schedules. I would just let her get over it and maybe include her in something else like getting your shoes and jewelry or maybe a veil. Good luck to you and I hope you find the perfect dress!!!

what a great wedding date Congrats and welcome to BDW!

Lisa-I have no idea i can't remember at all have you already given them your cc info and filled out all the stuff about you and your fiance? I just heard from Ael and she is so sweet She said that they reserved a spot at Don Monolo's Restaurant for my whole group for Friday night-the night before the wedding! I am so excited because I wanted to make sure that we all get to eat dinner together before the wedding. Yay! She said that it is a buffet style restaurant, but I don't really care. She said that they will section off an area and we can sit at one big table. Sooo happy that is taken care of!

I thought about TTD but I only had the budget for either a TTD or Boudoir session so I did a Boudoir session. TTD pics look soooo cool though! Lots of girls don't wear the same dress. They usually buy a white dress or wedding dress that costs about 100-150 dollars. Yes, only 29 days. I have everything pretty much completed. My bachelorette party is the weekend before we leave so I am getting excited for that. The countdown is on... Happy Fourth of July!!!

My Fiance asked my mom and dad before popping the question

Yes, they do! My brother and FMIL are both R.N.'s and they LOVE their jobs. I haven't met anyone who loves their jobs as much as they do working as nurses.

Oh gosh, I didn't know about the spraying of the fecal matter...ewww! Now I want to throw away our toothbrushes and get new ones pronto.

Here is a great Mandarin Orange Cake recipe that my mom makes for the 4th: 1 Box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix 1 cup cooking oil 4 eggs 1 large can mandarin oranges (juice and all) Mix together and beat slowly for 2 minutes. Pour into (4) greased and floured cake pans. Bake at 425 about 10 minutes or until done. Frosting: 1-12oz. cool whip (extra creamy is best) 1 large can crushed pineapple and juice 1 large box of vanilla instant pudding a few leftover mandarin orange slices from above can Combine pudding and pineapple and blend in thawed cool whip. Spread mixture over each layer and on the top. Garnish with drained mandarin oranges. Keep in the fridge until you serve it!

CONGRATS!!! I bet you are so excited!!! Way to go!

Okay, thanks girl. I will do the same I just didn't want to ruin a good recipe by putting the wrong thing in there.

Stacey-thanks for the recipe!!! Yummy!!! This might b a dumb question but what is whole grain mustard? Dijon mustard? or something else?

oh my gosh! Kristy I am coming over....your menu sounds delish.

WOW! Stephanie your dress is beautiful! I am a Maggie Bride too! I also love the pics of your doggies. As for the logo I got it from BDW's Sarah-She owns Sproullie Designs. Orange and Hot Pink were my wedding colors, but I have since changed to light blue and light gold. I love that combo though. Here is the link where I got my monogram. I also got the one with the starfish and the circle around it. Sproullie Designs - Monograms

Hey Stephanie~that is great that you found your dress!! Congrats!!! What does it look like? you should post a pic or links for us to see.

I wash the sheets every weekend. Is that enough? Ewww the article has me freaked out. How often did the article say to wash the sheets?

That's great!!! Congrats! I would definitely surprise him. He will be so excited.

WOW!!! You look soooo sexy and beautiful. Your FI will go bananas!

Hi Amanda!! Welcome to BDW! I am getting married in the Riviera Maya in 30 days. There are tons of great resorts. We are staying at the RIU Palace Riviera Maya. Good luck with you search to find the perfect resort.

Yeah, that is so weird y'all are talking about the welcome dinner thing b/c this totally slipped my mind and I haven't even asked the WC about it yet. I will email her now. Josie, I am with you. I am going to see if we can meet at either a restaurant or just one of the buffets. I don't care if it is private or anything. I just want a get together. I will let y'all know what the WC says about it.

Susan, that salad sounds good! Autjo-the sangria looks really pretty with lemon, lime, and orange slices floating in it

I am just having 1 BM-my sister, well she is the MOH too. Don't worry about just having one BM it will be just fine

Jac-I am very, very sorry that you are going through this especially right before the wedding. I know it will all work out for you in the end and you and Joe will have a wonderful, gorgeous wedding. I was lied to by a really close friend about coming to my wedding and it hurts! I am very sorry and I am sending tons of *hugs* to you. Don't get stressed out girlie. I am a big believer in everything happens for a reason and don't worry. Just get excited! You don't have long at all! XOXO P.S. Joe's family sounds wonderful!

Yummy Megan! I love Paula Deen and cobbler so I will have to try this one~
