These are awesome!! I just went to Target and nearly bought out all of their stock in mini first aid kits and purell yesterday! I also bought Emergen-c, B1 & hangover pills which you take pre-drinking and after to prevent/get rid of a hangover. I just need baggies and cute labels like yours

Why did i have to pick them when they are known to be unreliable until the very end? my godmother offered her timeshare to my MOH and one of BMs above. She wanted the payment end of february. the BM was in charge of sending payment to her and she told my MOH she didn't have money yesterday! So that means my godmother haven't received the payment and my MOH doesn't know what to do because the BM keeps stalling on the payment. Mind you, the room cost ONLY $90 bucks per person for a whole week. I'm pissed. MOH says she will go ahead and pay her part because she already booked her flight. She says she will go if that means she'll be alone. I dont want her to be alone, well not exactly since my godparents are going but still. The timeshare is at another resort. My other BM hasn't paid her room deposit to one of my BMs who she is rooming at our resort. She hasn't gotten her flight ticket. She said she is waiting on her income tax return but then she only has a part time job. I don't think she will get enough income tax return to pay everything. I need a drink. Oh man... gotta love the slacker members of the wedding party. I've had so much drama with groomsmen I can't even begin to go there. Our Best Man had nothing done up until a week ago. I literally lost it, I got serious and made FI sit down with him and tell him up front, we weren't goint to pay for him and his fiance to come to Mexico and that he's FI's best friend and he has one week to figure it out. I told FI he was no longer allowed at our home until his sh*t was figured out. This actually worked and he emailed me sheepishly letting me know he had booked. As for your BM, $90?? I'll come to your wedding for a $90 timeshare cost and stand in your wedding!! That is SUCH an amazing hookup she really needs to get it together. I'd get serious with her, she's known about your wedding for awhile now right, she has NO excuse, that's just not right. It's so not fair that your MOH is being affected because of this as well. I'm ready to have a drink with you as well... ugh I can't wait until I'm in Mexico, that's all the keeps me going!

Yeah, at least half or more of my guests have booked in the last month and I'm just over 2 months away from my wedding in May. I remember last year stressing a lot over this and it doesn't matter how much you stress, people will still procrastinate. Don't stress, just know people procrastinate and sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. Just keep positive and keep up with pricing and notfiy guests of cheaper rates etc.

I'm considering Tan FX or Lava Suntan Studios. I am also only looking to tan in a stand up. I started tanning last month for my May wedding, I want to have a good base so when I get there I don't burn LOL!

I hope all of you brides are this lucky to get all of the good loot in order to start your lives. It was fun trying to survive without the microwave for a fews weeks...you would have thought it was the end of the world...but we forgot how much we use it. And now it was the second thing hooked up...after the TV of course. =) Plus we are not at 72 booked...yeah...it's all coming together, so nicely. Wow, that is the sweetest thing ever! You are a very lucky girl, I could only hope for such things =)

I have one of these too! I love it

Katie wow you did a LOT! Congrats on losing weight too that's awesome! Now you see why I'm disappointed... now I have to get it altered AND I have 3 more appointments to add to my already busy schedule.... sigh. I'm so happy to hear everything is going smoothly for you, that's the best! I finished my bridesmaids hair flowers over the weekend. I like them but have no clue if they will, they all look the same but who knows, someone could not like them. I also received my new garter and my veil. I am still not sold on the veil... I think I look like a fool but we'll see. I also bought a whole bunch of OOT bag items which is good but with every purchase I am going... "seriously how am I gonna bring THIS!?" Katie I agree, all the payments are due now and it's like my head is swirling with spending money. I have no one that has contributed a dime to my wedding either... and to boot, I've had to loan BOTH my mom and FI's parents a substantial amount of money in the month of January... talk about added stress.

I have the same problem with bad cellulite and whilst it's improved since I've lost weight, its not going to be as gone as I want it to be. but they can airbrush, or if you don't want to be airbrushed, your photog can put you in poses which won't show your cellulite. I'd say for definite, do not let this one little thing put you off doing a shoot. Good luck! hope this helps. It totally depends Katie... my photog didn't airbrush any of my pics, trust me I wish he had on some of them that I can't use. So mention/ask your photog beforehand.

The ceremony will be very simple like getting blessed and going to the Justice of Peace. We are going to invite our moms but are thinking we should invite our siblings. People especially our families, have questioned us about making it legal in Mexico and we have just avoided the answer. What do you girls think and how would you answer your guests questions about making it legal? I feel bad not telling the truth especially to our immediate family. My ceremony will be symbolic in Mexico ONLY because I'm terrified of needles and refuse to get blood taken if it doesn't affect my immediate life A few people have asked me (friends) and I've been totally honest... this also I know is different with everyone the importance and whatnot. My wedding is also 90% friends, hardly any family and no parents. Not by my choice of course but it's just how it happened. I'm having a legal day AFTER Mexico in Vegas baby! My wedding party already knows about this because they are all invited. We are renting a giant suite in Vegas and inviting our people to come down and all crash in the suite with us and we will have an Elvis ceremony, then go directly out to party with our friends! Can't wait

Think your FI is going to pass out when he sees you coming down the aisle! I really thought I was smaller when I had it fitted! Oh well, it could be worse, you're right it's an easy fix. LOL, I really hope he does pass out after he sees me. The BD book and the dress should do it I hope!

So ladies, tried on my dress yesterday after 8 months of waiting and it doesn't fit. It's too big... I'm disappointed I need alterations. At least it's not too small! I did get my wedding shoes though, they're pretty plain and boring, I'm resisting the temptation to splurge but I'm adding a shoe clip so that should spice them up. I now have all my final appointments scheduled, that's pretty exciting!

Girls the best advice I can give is stay calm and don't stress out! Eerything will be amazing. Our ceremony today was unorganized,but once we were up holding eachothers hand nothing else mattered!! Talk you girls in 2 weeks......Can;t believe we we finally going!!! Have a great 2 weeks!!! YAY! Congrats!!! Have an AMAZING WEDDING!!!!

AmyKH, your new siggy is soooooo sexy!!! The camera just loves you! cjb0arder13, I just booked by BD shoot for March 16th and am super excited! It's something I've always wanted to do and I figure it's now or never! The girls on here are such an inspiration! Thanks Wendy!! How exciting!! I can't wait to hear how it goes and hopefully see a little teaser

I stopped eating dairy and drinking caffeinated coffee. I go to an esthitician once a month and get a facial and chemical peel, my skin looks amazing now! I have upped my workouts and lowered my carbs, 5-6 days a week More water, light tanning, no fast food. Getting my eyebrows waxed once a month so they look normal LOL Getting an oxygen facial the week before the wedding and a massage

Have the most amazing and wonderful wedding ever!!! Congrats!!!!

Thanks ladies!! They were so much fun

I'm trying to get the cojones to do BD pics, but honestly I'd like to lose, like, 20 more pounds first before I'll be comfortable letting my inner vixen out . I'm working on it...have lost 10 already...but man it's coming off slow! Of course, it would probably help if I started working out (I'm notoriously lazy) so I'm going to start that soon....one of these days.... I thought it was pretty funny that Tiffany said in her email that the eating utensils were included in the private dinner event. Um...would I have had to rent them otherwise? I guess I can't take anything for granted in this whole planning process Thank you!! The secret for me was, working out like a mad woman the month before and eating really well. I even did a cleanse too. I brought my MOH/BF with me at the last second which was a great idea, helped me have more fun and my photog also greeted us with 2 double shots of Patron and made sure to continue filling up our wine glasses the whole time. That definitely made it easier! LOL! Yeah... that's the thing with weddings, ask a lot of questions like exactly what things come with in detail, you'd be surprised at what they make you pay for. For example, I'm renting different chairs than the ones that come with the Sky Deck wedding and I obviously want those chairs at my reception so I asked if they could move the to the reception while we're having the cocktail hour... nope, I have to rent a whole NEW set of chairs!! So annoying.

See what happens when you're not here, LOL!! You keep us grounded Have a fab weekend!

Quote: Originally Posted by Lady_Di i'm sorry that your mom wont be at your wedding. YAY for your dress! I want to see a picture!! Yeah me too, it's for no seriously good reason either You bet! Stupid place made me schedule an appointment to pick it up and told me they were too busy tomorrow to let me even try it on to see if I need alterations... whatever!

Quote: Originally Posted by taylorwd Wow, that is a huge jump in price!! $28 seems very reasonable for filet mignon and lobster tail...I want to come to your wedding! Ooooooooh, how exciting!!! If our weddings were on the same weekend, you would TOTALLY be there, all of your girls are so invited if you want to come =)

I just got a VM that my dress came in today!!!! I literally can't focus on work anymore I'm SO excited!!!!
