YAY Katie so exciting!!! Today is my last day in the office too and I woke up in kind of a jig if that makes sense. We get picked up 6:30am by our transportation Monday morning. I can't believe it's so close already! I have a get/axxium nail appt with all my girls tonight with wine in the salon, I don't know how they pulled that off. I think I finished my vows last night too... margarita #2 I got inspiration. FI was in the bathroom and he came out and I told him I finished my vows and he responds "so did I!" and I was like, "umm, in the bathroom??" to which he replied "it's where I do my best thinking" <--------- romance at it's finest, LOL! Also completed my list/spreadsheet and details with special instructions to the DJ. All I need to do is do a tighter dress rehersal of our dance, pack the clothes, give pre-travel gifts to the girls, hand out suitcases with receipts, get my final appts done, pick up FI's pants from alterations and print out stuff to bring

Buzzed drive by! Margarita #2.... wooo! Finished my vows! I really think this is it... unless I read them in the morning and go "what the hell was I think!?"

She is a pain in the ass, she's the regretted bridesmaid for sure. At this point, I'd rather her not come and be a wet blanket, we'll have a blast without her.

Awww Linds what!!! Smack him and drag him by the ear out to his motorcycle and demand niceness!! Vow writing sucked... I definitely wrote stuff but it's so lame. I'm taking another stab at it tonight, drinking earlier, skipping the workout so I have more time. On the upside, music and photog list is done! Oh and final bridesmaid booked her flight, whew! Buuuut tells me she doesn't want to go to the bachelorette because she doesn't want to drink and she misses her fiance... whatever.

<3 your pix!!! You have such a cute little family

Linds, I totally want to be your FI right now It was brilliant you had the guy tell your FI it was sold, he's going to love you SOOOO much Quote: Originally Posted by ~Katie~ hey, can you add me too? I'm 7th May at OCT (Ocean Coral & Turquesa). I've only just discovered this thread but wanted to come in and wish everyone a very happy May 2010!!! YAY! Welcome! Quote: Originally Posted by ~Katie~ Karen, Sammy and Amy....I feel like I've been missing out here! lol Amy why did you not tell about this thread?!! but just joining in on convo here....I said to FI about writing our own vows, to which he replied 'why?' that was enough to put me off! though he had a valid point that then he'd have to use some stuff that he wants to use in his speech, so at least we don't have that worry. And regarding reception music/playlists, we are playing an iPod rather than having a DJ and FI said to me about 6 months ago that he would sort out the music as music is his forte (his words not mine!) and 3 days ago he started it!!!!!!! I spent months nagging him about getting it sorted! but to be fair, he started it and finished it in the same night and created a playlist and put our ceremony music onto a CD so he did come good in the end! I had my hen night about 2 weeks ago now and before then I couldn't even remember the last time I'd drunk alcohol, let alone got drunk! same with FI. we both survived our hen and stag nights but it was tough! (and cheap! lol) but I definitely need to make sure I pace myself on the wedding day! happy thursday ladies amy - 3 days until I fly out!! madness!! Katie!! I'm so sorry... I should have made you come over, I'm really ashamed, the May girls are FABULOUS I can't EVEN believe it, ever day this week has been such a rollercoaster for me I can't even handle it.

I am so excited. Today is one month mark for me! Oh for you too, Karen! Congrats for getting through finals without losing your hair!! Yeahhh what pooch You are gorgeous head to toe, seriously you're really lucky! Quote: Originally Posted by Lady_Di Haha, seriously...it won't go away. I'm thinking I should cut dairy two weeks before the wedding. I hear that your belly is less slimmer. Problem...i love dairy. =( Aha! It works I swear, I love dairy too, it just doesn't love me

LOL! Nice Karen, one more and you're a schmaltzy two-sheets to the wind! LOL, you kill me

Leaving on Monday! I can't even believe it!

LOL! Not quite yet! Just finished my workout, about to shower, protein shake and hit the margaritas!

Karen - Schmaltzy! LOL! I love it... that word is going to be going through my head all night while attempting to write something Congrats on getting through your finals! Woooo hoooo!!!

LOL Autumn... shhhh! It's mostly in our heads! Cindy you are talking about me! I totally was so frustrated because FI hopped on day one and is doing full pullups with ease and I try to go from just standing which is much easier and he's looking at me going "just do one! Try!" and I'm like... "you don't understand, I AM TRYING!!" It took me trying to do a pull up every single day probably multiple times a day before I finally did one and called FI screaming

haha, I love how we all have this same concern. I think we'll be fine, I already told my MOH's to keep and eye on me and give me water. Not that I can't control myself but just to help keep it in check

Amy how cute!!! You better post a planning thread because I want to see all your amazing details as well. I absolutely love the Maryland themed reception, so cute!

Thanks Tash! Not quite the queen since I've been slacking lately! Yeah that's how it was for me, I didn't really drop weight, actually gained weight for a bit, swollen muscles etc. It's more of like a tighter, firmer look I noticed from P90Xers so keep it up!

You girls are doing great and absolutely deserve a spoonful of whatever you want, that won't kill your diet, eating over your calories will so stick to that and you can have a treat every once in awhile! I had 2 SF jello puddings last night and didn't even work out, just didn't feel good so that made me feel better. To any of you girls working out pre-wedding, get most of it out of the way and done about 2 weeks before you leave. I leave in 5 days and the last 2 weeks I haven't been able to fit hardly any working out in, I'm just too busy! I'm working out tonight though, no doubt, Legs, Back & Ab ripper ouch.

I think I'll blend up some margaritas tonight (AFTER working out) and get to writing! I suggested to FI the other day that we start practicing for our bachelor/bachelorette parties which will be in Cancun where entry fee basically includes unlimited alcohol... we love to drink but I haven't had some good practice in awhile. I've got some patron so I think I'll kill two birds and let you know how it goes tomorrow

Thanks Meredith! You're totally not a slacker. Most of this stuff I did in the last 6 months anyways. I sacrificed nights and weekends for WAAAY too long.

Amanda - HAHA! Thank you, that's a wonderful compliment! I will definitely let you know how I feel after the wedding and if I begin my own business, I'll start with you to get my portfolio going As for luggage, keep in mind 2 are free for FI & I and we may be giving 2 to two couples that are only bringing one bag so those 2 would be free as well. If that happens, then about $150 which isn't bad.

Well, we have DJ Ivan from Doremixx and he always get great reviews so I am not worried. haha, men! I don't even try to get FI to help me with stuff anymore, I told him last night while I was doing music stuff on the couch with my laptop to help me with wedding stuff by rubbing my feet, which he did. I have DJ Mannia which too always get's amazing reviews so it should be fine, I just am more concerned that they don't play certain songs. Man the list of cheesey wedding songs is truly endless! I also have annying specifications since the DJ has to fade out our first dance song. It's like 4+ minutes long and our dance is maybe 2 minutes long. I also want to make sure he has some of my songs which they told me would not be a problem but still!

I just finished editing our hand and sand ceremonies...hopefully S stops being a jacka$$ and I get inspired to write something loving to him lol! LOL!!! I know right, I need to get in that loving mood, it gets hard with they're givin' ya attidute! At least you have more time, I leave in 5 days, what am I waiting for?!

Thanks Robin!! Faaaaaakk Linds, ditto on the music too! I worked on it for hours last night and didn't finish it. I have a giant list to go through and mark the do not plays for my DJ and suggestions for dinner etc. This is really tough for me, I don't know why! Even worse, I still haven't written my vows =/ I really need to get on this, these are the 2 major things I have left.

Quote: Originally Posted by FutureMrsRobart I could have 5 years and I don't know if I could pull all that stuff off. You just made me exceedingly happy that I still have a year left LOL I better get my arse in gear :-) HAHA! If you want to cut and glue things on a Saturday night like I did for awhile it can definitely happen. I just realized we have the same wedding date exactly one year apart!! Awesome choice in date!

Good luck ladies!!! This is a tough one, you're all so amazing!

WOW! Suuupper sexy! I love the one of you under the covers, super hot!
