We are having family and friends over to our house we will be drinking, playing Wii, finger foods, and at midnight switching on the TV to watch the Peach drop. Good Times Good Times!

Awe how sweet! Congrats! One couldn't ask for a better Christmas present! Oh Yeah....Welcome to the forum...you'll find lots of great ideas....and who knows....some great friends! ~Samie~

I can't believe I'm the only one that is saying this......but I can't even tell the difference from the one you made and the $300 one. I think you did a fantastic job....and if it wasn't so irritating (taking apart over and over) I would suggest that you make them and sell them! Great job!

I fell in love with dress also. The only thing I didn't like is the flowers under the boobs. I have a rather large chest and don't need to draw even more attention to it. I do still want to try it on and see if I can have those flowers taken off. I think it is a perfect DW dress! Good luck on your search.....I have a little time to search for it....but then again...I have fallen in love with Archie510's dress. Super sexy side slit!

My FI and I plan on paying for everything...but if I know our parents they will help outin some shape or form. My mom has already offered to do the flower arrangements. I know thy will turn out just like I want them this way! Good luck!

Our colors are Yellow, Baby Blue, and Hot Pink! I want very bright vibrant colors.....and I like the way these look together!

Welcome to the forum Jen! You'll get loads of ideas from this site...I know I have. Who know's you may walk away with a few friends! Best of luck planning! ~Samie~

I just wanted to share with my BDW Girls what my FMIL got me for Christmas. It is a "Bridal Survival Kit" which has lots of great stuff in it for ICE (in case of emergency) moments. Kit included: Mini Hairbrush Mini Hairspray Mini Stain Remover Mini Static Remover Mini Clear Fingernail Polish Mini Fingernail File Mini Super Glue Mini Breath Freashner Sewing Kit Earring backs Asprin Antacid Tissues Wet Naps Blotting Tissues Tampon Compact I think that is it! I was like....HUMMM....some of this stuff would be good for even an OOT bag! I will see if I can get a picture of it. It all fit into a mesh bag that is 6" x 5" x 2". So it's all really small suff.....I just thought I would share this great gift with you girls. Hope you all had a great Christmas! ~Samie~

What is the name of your dress. I know it's by Maggie Sottero, but I'm looking on the site and don't see ANY like that one. I really like the way it looks in your pictures. Very flow-e!

Happy Planning and I'm sure you'll find a lot of answers on this forum....I know I have!

Man....it seems really slow on here today! I guess everybody is on vacation and I'm stuck here at work! I get off at 4....so it's not so bad...but still. I hope evreybody has a safe and warm holiday! I'm sure I'll post something else between now and the time I leave....I'm so bored!

I was looking for some straw totes for my OOT bags and came across this site. A lot are sold out....but some aren't and they are really cute and reasonablly priced. So if you're looking for straw totes for your OOT bags....check it out! Wholesale Straw Tote Bags: Wholesale straw totes, palm, rattan, bamboo, wood, sea grass, cotton straw bags at FashionWholesaler.com

I never thought of that...walking two guys to one girl. That might just be cute! I can work with that. Hopefully my FI will also! Thanks Jacqueline! for you!

Well, we agreed on a family ONLY wedding. Only including parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters. Along with their families. With that said....I have two sisters so naturally I want them up there with me....him on the other hand has 6 brothers, I think if he had to choose just two it would be hard for him. I don't know....BLAH!

Good Thread! My hopes with this upcoming year are to loose 145 pounds so that I can look beautiful in my wedding dress. I know that I may not and probably won't accomplish this all in 2009...but if I can get some of it off...the rest will be my resolution for 2010! I also want to spend more time with my family....Saturdays only isn't cutting it anymore!

I like the way you think! Makin him think he's getting what he wants. He always gets what he wants.....I want this. I am really thinking I am not going to give into him on this. Would it be okay if I had people up there with me and he doesn't? I'm so confused....I don't want to look stupid or anything like that!

What about Marraccas (sp?). And tie in your wedding colors and date. Maybe have your names and date painted on it! Just a thought!

This story will make anybody tear up. Very thoughtful and unexpected this day and age. WOW...that's all I got to say! Thanks for sharing.

Okay...now that I have your attention....HaHa....I very much want to have my two sisters and my daughter to be my bridesmaids and jr. bridesmaid. I think sharing this with them is very improtant...especially when it comes to my daughter. Although she likes my FH very much, she is very afraid that he is trying to take her Daddy's place, which he isn't. I want to include her in a lot of what goes on with this wedding and I know that her being in the wedding will make her feel super special. She has already told me that she wants to do a TTD session with pictures and everything. I am all for this and want her to be happy. My fiancee is against having anybody at the alter with us. How do I explain to him that this is very important to me and want to include our children especially in this beautiful day. We are a family and it should show on our wedding day.....right PLEASE HELP! ~Samie~

I am marrying my FH because, I know that everytime he looks at me it's real. His touch makes me feel so safe and happy. From the looks to the carresses....I know it's him that I am to spend the rest of my life with.

Plus its so amazing to wear her dress on my wedding day! Its perfect for a destination wedding...she got married in Maui! I love to find other frugal girls! Great ideas! You should post a picture of your dress....I would love to see it!

Mine is one tier and probably fingertip, and was $175!!!!! Because once you find your wedding dress, they bring up the veil and then you feel all bridey. I guess some veils are worth it...mine is so not worth the $$. Okay, am I ranting? Sorry... Oh.....you get married in like five days. WOW! Congrats!

I think you are very generous in what you have already given your MOH. I think she would understand if she didn't get anything else. But if you feel like you really need to get her something....get her a cute necklace or compact with her name engraved in it or something inexpensive like that. Just my opinion!
