Congrats on starting Cindy! P90X got in me the best shape I've ever been in when I did it last year. Try and stick as close as possible to the diet and you will be in shape for your wedding for SURE!

Thanks girls!!! Katie, you are going to rock it don't even be embarrassed to show us, I'm so excited to see yours! My photog said I could choose as many or little as I wanted and he'd make it work but he told me 35 would probably be best for the size of book that I am getting. Lindz - you can show your photog of course! I am going to actually have it delivered by my MOH on wedding day while he's getting ready. I want a picture of his reaction Amy - That's one of my favs as well! I asked my photog what one of his favorite shots he had taken of other BD photos and he told me about that picture and I told him I wanted that done as well because it sounded amazing. I think that should be the first or last picture in the book, what do you think? My photog showed me ooptions of books, I'm having a nice black leather book made, I'm so excited!

I was nervous to put them up for everyone to see but I'm so happy with them! I've never seen myself like that before! I'm sure yours will be gorgeous, just get into it and let that moment live and the pictures will show it

Thank you so much Crista!! This is truly the ballsiest thing I've ever done... especially posting them online for all of you too see

Groom - Dark grey pants, white long sleeve button down shirt with a black vest, sage green tie and black jacket Groomsmen - Black pants, white long sleeve button down shirt with rolled up sleeves to their elbows, dark grey vest, funky green patterned tie (having them custom made). I'm thinking of getting them all solid sage green socks too if I can

I forgot to give my props!! My photog is Chris Schmitt - Chris Schmitt Photography He's a BDW forum vendor and I couldn't have asked for a better photog, he makes me feel so comfortable and is truly a perfectionist with his work

Alright ladies, so my BD shoot was Sunday, I had SUCH a blast! My photog handed me a shot of Patron to me and my MOH when we got there and made me show him everything I brought 3 glasses and 4 hours after that I had been convinced by my MOH to take it all off!! Something I stated I absolutely would NOT do but I'm glad I did. Some of the topless and nude shots are some of my favs but you'll have to take my word for it Here you go ladies, I hope you enjoy!

Alright girls, so forgetting my makeup at my photogs house (40 miles away) was a blessing in disguise! I showed up and he handed me a cd with all the images from my BD shoot on it! Big surprise! So I went through the 255 pictures he gave me and narrowed it down to show you ladies. Some of my favorites and sassiest are topless or moreso so until I can figure out to black out my ladies I can't put them up. Here is the link to my Photobucket album, I hope you enjoy!!!

It took me a LONG time to stop stressing about this... people procrastinate, it's just what they do. Some may fall off, some may hop back on but just a casual personal email or phone call or text really eased my mind. I started telling people I just needed to get the final count of people to my coordinator and they told me whether or not they planned to come. Getting people to book has been so far the most stressful aspect of the entire thing until I realized, I needn't waste my energy on it and I just need to remain positive and helpful to everyone Good luck!

I wish I had a personal shopper to buy the guys their clothes LOL... Picking out the guys stuff was SO hard! I have changed my mind 1,000 times but finally picked out and decided what they are wearing today. I feel one million times better now!

Crista it's at the bottom of the list, I just forgot to change it from "My to do's" to "Crista's to do's" hee hee, sorry!

... I have been looking for good vintage maps for probably over 6 months now... you're my new best friend!!! Thank you so much!

Wonderful planning thread! I love your clay bouquet, so unique!

I am too! Who's your TA? I'd never recommend mine, I've already tried to switch coordinators and they begged me to give him another shot. He's about to be switched for real if I don't get my freaking quote... sorry, pent up anger!

Still have to reserve the date! Its been so much fun to read all your post, you all have definilty made a little family here. Little overwhelmed at this point because my wedding date is so far off, and don't really know where to start, but this forum has been a huge help so far and I can't wait to get lots of advice from the pros. Welcome Jamie! We are happy to have you join our family! You have plenty of time so don't be worried. The girls on this forum are the best support system and have become such amazing friends so you're in good hands!

Lindz - Haha, not quite VS model... not even close! I would totally come to yours and make you laugh where it counts. It was so nice to have my BF there that enjoyed herself so much it made the experience a total bonding moment for us

Great tips!! Thanks so much sharing
