That dress looks awesome on you, good work! I also love the color of the bm dresses, they compliment each other beautifully!

You look fantastic! I especially love the bathtub pic, your FI is going to love these!

Andi your video is awesome! You too look so cute and soooooo in love!

Oooh fun! Here's mine! 1) When I walked down the aisle to Canon in D, I've always wanted that to be my aisle song and I had to try really hard not to cry when I heard it but I was totally choked up! 2) Looking and DH looking at me walk down the aisle, I could tell he wanted to cry but he was trying so very hard to hold it in...and he did! lol 3) Finally standing by DH after the long walk down the aisle, he turns to me and whispers "pretty lady" (he usually says that when he thinks I look good) in his cute little voice. 4) When it was time for the kiss, we kissed but then DH threw his own spin on it and dipped me. It was not planned and surprised the hell out of me! I couldn't help but laugh my ass off, which made for a great pic of us holding each other and laughing...it's one of my faves! Jeez, reliving all of this with you girls has me all teary-eyed now too! hehe

But you are right. The friends that don't use their email, I rarely talk to them. The only people I stay in touch with her the ones with email. This sums it up beautifully for me, though I totally get where you're coming from on this Jacqueline!

Just wanted to add that I totally wanted people to leave early! haha, my parents stayed only for the first week, so that was fine...but my ILs stayed the entire two weeks! It didn't feel like a "real" honeymoon at all! I'm still a little bitter about it actually lol.

Great pics, you look beautiful! Your FI is going to love these!

Wow thanks for such a great detailed review! You looked absolutely gorgeous and I loooooooooove, love, love your dress...who makes it? Congrats to you and your DH! I can't wait to see the rest of your pro pics!!

To me they said that of all the Contemporary dancers, she wasn't the best. Implying that they kept Auska, even though she had a bad performance and iffy solo, because she is great at ballroom. I can't wait for next week! Erin, you just said everything that I was thinking...nicely put!

Michelle - Yeah, any person claiming to be a "professional" photographer should know how to set the shutter speed for the light they are working with. You should be able to see the photo info on your pics, I can see mine...I thought it was pretty neat! Again, you have just proven him wrong. I hope he gives up trying to make a liar out of you since he is the one who is telling tall tales around here. I can't imagine what a pile of stress he had added to not only to your wedding but also to you for long after the fact (six months later and he's STILL causing you stress!!). He's doing very bad business by the sounds of it.

SPOILERS BELOW FOR ANYONE WHO'S TOO IMPATIENT TO WATCH THE RESULTS SHOW!!! SCROLL AT YOUR OWN RISK! Bottom Three Girls: Paris, Asuka, Karla Bottom Three Boys: Tony, Vitolio, Jonathon ELIMINATED: Tony & Paris They were the obvious choice, Tony moreso than Paris. I'm sad to see Paris go, she's very talented. Poor Tony, I hope he continues to dance and maybe get some more formal training under his belt. This is a tough season to call since everyone is amazing!

OMG MarieSam, you look smokin' hot!!! Your FI is going to be flipping through his BD book every night!! Everything looks fantastic, the hair, the makeup, the outfits! Can't wait to see more of these, your photog did an amazing job!

Ahhh, I just caught up on this. Can't believe he responded to this thread but didn't really explain his behavior or less-than-stellar pics at all! Isn't that convenient that they're all cropped and zoomed in now? As mentioned previously, if it was so dark during the ceremony thus resulting in dark pics, why do the guest pics seem fine? Oh right, it's because he's lying! What a nut job! Michelle, thank you again for posting such an honest review here so that all brides considering using this vendor are fully aware of what they are dealing with. You rock girl!

Erin - I loved the Fox dance that Wade choreographed for Lacey and Sabra! though I have to agree that he is pretty out there sometimes haha. Gotta love Cat for rocking the stilletos even though she's super tall anyway! I agree, the partnering does seem better this year but I always love it when they eventually switch up the partners around the top 10.

Chanti - ahhh that sucks, well you better get watching it tonight!!!

I kinda feel bad for whoever gets kicked off because no one was really bad. The competition was just so fierce! Yes, I totally agree! This is going to be so tough tonight. I never in a million years would have expected the FIRST performance show of the season to be so amazing...I can't wait to see how these people grow as dancers. By the end of the season they will really be turning it up I'm sure! Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel That Bollywood kiss- oh boy.

I love it when partners have great..."chemistry"

Love those pics, you looked so beautiful!!

Annieanddaryl - We can't vote for the US version of the show in Canada...sadly! Good news is that SYTYCD Canada will be on CTV again this fall! I didn't watch last season but I heard it was awesome, my friend caught the tour when they stopped in Edmonton late last year.

Yael - Haha, when Adam was talking about Step Up 3 having Twitch in it, I decide right then and there that I HAVE to see it when it comes out, no matter how cheesy it may be! lol I love me some Twitch, he was my favorite last year along with Joshua.

Yael - Yeah, I always feel kind of embarassed for a contestant when you just know that they're going to get a negative critique...poor kids! I like Paris too, hopefully she won't get the boot. Jess - Aww you got to see the tour? I'm so jealous, luck girl!!

Thanks Yael! I forgot to mention the kiss! That was totally not part of the dance, Kaitlyn looked (happily) surprised about it...haha that's cute! I'm shocked none of the judges said anything about it though, seems odd. Yeah, Tony is blahhhhhhhhhhhh. He's a cute kid and all but seriously, I hope he's one of the first to leave...he's just not on par with the other dancers and I feel bad for him because of that.

Woo hoo, congrats Gail on your big day!!!

Congrats, I think it's beautiful! Simple yet elegant, you can always dress it up with accessories if you feel the need.

Oops double post

OMG, did anyone watch tonight?!? What an AWESOME first week of performances! Honestly, I am so nervous for tomorrow night's cut as I don't really have a clue who's going to go...everyone was amazing, seriously! A few routines that I especially loved tonight were: Kayla & Max's samba...wow, that was hot hot hot!!! Phillip & Jeannine's lyrical hip hop...was very reminiscent of Joshua and Katee's lyrical hip hop from last year which was also really fantastic. I loved this routine. Randi (aka Unitard...didn't know she was married, interesting) & Evan's jazz was really good. Jason & Kaitlyn's bollywood routine was really great, especially considering it is the first week, though I have to say there's something about Kaitlyn that irks me and I can't put my finger on it. Brandon & Jeanette's foxtrot was so beautiful. I'm so glad Brandon is bringing it (like he promised...in your face, Mia!!!), they made it look so effortless! Ashley & Kupono's jazz routine by Tyce was interesting...it was weird but interesting. I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Ade & Melissa wow!! Firstly, I didn't even know Melissa is 29 cause she sure doesn't look it! I thought their routine was so beautiful, but to be expected since Mandy is a terrific choreographer...I love her! People I'm worried for: Asuka (who I LOVE watching) & Vitolio, though I don't think it's their fault. I didn't care for the choreography at all. I also think Paris and Tony may be in danger...their hip hop was good but a little boring for me. I really hope people vote for Auska, she is too amazing to leave this soon. Personally, I can see Tony leaving soon, after all...he barely even squeaked in to the top 20 in the first place. He has a great personality but I think his technical skills aren't on par with the other dancers. They probably should have picked someone over him, sad to say. I was lukewarm about Jonathon and Karla's chacha to "Poker Face", it felt like the music was too fast for the dance...even my DH commented on the odd pace of the dance with the music. The judges seemed to love it though. So what does everyone else think?!?
