Man ab ripper does kill... I kept waiting for it to get easier too, never did! I am about to complete week 3 of Insanity, so instead of my recovery week for this program I'm going to do a week of P90X, Insanity makes me miss P90X a lot

Amy, thanks for the research!!! Oh man, I could ONLY imagine this going through my head while up there, blinking incessantly, crossing my eyes, rolling them and yawning, thinking of this may just keep me from crying

Oh and don't even ask about my budget... It's ugly. I got WAAAY out of hand, it's me the shopaholic in charge of all our finances and purchasing everything for the wedding, FI was crazy to let this happen

Katie is totally part of our little group and on the to do list in our hearts as she doesn't want to commit to getting things done by a certain date You know, no one is going to crucify you if it doesn't get done, LOL, Katie sounds like she's doing better than me at this point... I just have so much to do, I don't know what I was thinking!!!

I have the donkey cocktail booked, no notice of it being cancelled AND I'm bringing my photographer with no issue... this is so annoying things keep changing...

I'm waiting for our WC to let us know of any alternatives or if the hotel changes it's mind. What!!! I just booked this last month! That doesn't make any sense...

Laughter is so much easier to get out - but then even doing the cheers to the new Mr & Mrs I can barely get that out! I am going to see if WikiAnswers has anything for us saps! Hahaha!! Please do see if you can get us help!!! See I had two opinions from people: "DON'T try and be funny, people always do this and never succeed and then you feel bad for them" yikes... "Oh you HAVE to be funny, everyone's expecting it!" Ok so after that... I was thinking of how much pressure it is to be funny. So I settled on my favorite story of how my best friend and I met, which is a cute story since we met in pre-school and I even MADE it funny by doing an impression of her which I got a laugh out of everyone for. All in all I got compliments all night from people I didn't even know saying that they were crying from my speech and it was the most thoughtful speech and best of the night. So it wasn't a BAD speech it just ended in many tears for the entire table.

AmyB - That is really cool! I like the hand ceremony, very unique. I'm going to check out your brochure too! Man crying, all my bridesmaids AND FI tell me they are for sure crying and I told them if they cry I will lose it!!!! I was my Matron of Honor's MOH in June, like I said, stage fright, and I had to give a speech to her (which I've never done in any form) infront of her 120+ guests and I was ok, didn't make eye contact with a single person at first, then I look down at her and she's starting to cry... so I look over at the bridesmaids so I don't choke up and ALL of them are sobbing!!! GASP.... I burst into tears and hyperventilated through the remainder of my speech... jeez.

Congrats and have a beautiful day!

Katie - Hahaha, I'm actually not shy at all, one of the least shy people I know. It's JUST a crowd of people quiet and looking at me. Let's put it this way, I don't like being the center of attention when it's just me, the remainder of the wedding will go fine, social butterfly, mingler if you will. Also... I'm a bit of an emotional cryer... everytime I watch anything wedding on TV or movies, I just get so emotional and so many tears I am just so nervous about the potential mess I will be on my day. I'm going to need a structure balance of liquid energy. LOL this reminds me, my MOH & I have been watching Bridezilla's together lately and have gotten some good lines to throw around on my wedding day that will crack us up. If any of you are able to watch that show, it makes you feel much better about how you are as a bride, I can tell that none of you are that crazy! Also, I would love to have ignorant bliss about how close my wedding is, I'm actually having nightmares, tossing and turning every night at this point. I'm too much of a worrier! I feel like I'm the only one losing my marbles... say it ain't so!

Amy - I do love the pashmina chair sash idea, it's brilliant! AmyBermuda - I keep thinking I should do programs, your sound like very cute itdea Is it wrong that I don't want to do programs because I want the ceremony over as fast as possible? I have what you would call... stage fright... I was thinking if there was a way to keep it under 10 minutes but that may be strange. I'm not doing any special anything, sand ceremony, unity candle, nothing, I just want to give him the ring and kiss and I'm out!

This is how I will be transporting everything down with my, the hardshell should protect it but I am so happy with how cheap the luggage was, I can sell it when I get home too if I feel like it.

Autumn once again you're so together and organized! I love all your cute ideas Thanks for sharing, you're going to have an amazing wedding!

Here you go! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ighlight=knock

There's a Knock off dress thread that discusses this site and many others that girls have bought dresses from and put up pictures of, you should check it out it will help you get ideas of what the products actually look like compared to the original.

bholtof - That's great! I'm glad you're doing well and getting those yoga moves down, I really love yoga too As for the diet, you definitely don't have to follow it but I can honestly tell you that I followed the diet and didn't bulk up at all. I was nicely toned and actually shrank down. The muscle I put on (which was not a LOT) actually burned up my fat faster than I've ever experienced. I'm doing 100% cardio now with Insanity and I'm not as small as I got doing P90X and actually am considering switching over or incorporating a week of P90X every other week. Just my 2 cents!
