Thats nice! Now the MOH will stand out from the other girls which is great! Crossing my fingers your dress comes in soon!

HELL. total hell, unless you are scubadiva. haha. i've been offline the whole weekend (stupid comcast and broken modem) so, maybe tonight i'll geek out on the forum and catch up with all you ladies. for now, i'm still stressed out, despite what my mood says up there...haha. have a great tuesday!! BM dress shopping was easier than I thought. Sticking to a color theme and letting them pick out a dress was so much easier. I have a BM who is a size 2 to a BM that is a size 22. I know if I picked one dress it wasnt going to look good on all of them! Good luck ladies and have fun

Heres mine. My FI had CJ with him when I first met him. He thinks CJ is the one that hooked me in. Yeah right..........

But Fi's family is not coming 1 of his four brothers are coming and not his mom not his other brothers and I feel terrible! But in the end its a vacation/honeymoon and our wedding! and whoever will be there will be there and thats that. We are celebrating at home before and after so everyone can be involved. but wow you said it and you said it right!! Totally agree with you! Im getting to the point im OK with it but it can still be hard!

I told him tonight I will take him to his favorite Chinese restaurant before the shoot....he chuckled. I think he is finally starting to be ok with it but we will see.

Everytime I hear about someone's BM drama, it makes me feel like I made the right decision not to have any myself -- there are just too many variables to deal with when trying to have a bridal party attend a DW, and the stress it causes (as you WELL-KNOW, I am sure!) is intense. I think if your friends can't attend, then maybe they shouldn't have to buy the dress (and if it means that much to you that they wear it for your AHR, then maybe you can help them pay for half?) Or maybe they could just be announced as bridesmaids at your AHR in a dress that is special to them (that they may already own), so they could still participate without the added cost to anyone? Maybe these are silly ideas I am suggesting, and I know it's tough to find a solution to this problem, but I wanted to at least grab at some straws and see if I could help! Sorry, and good luck Miss Holly! Not silly ideas at all. I will be purchasing shoes and jewelry for them. If I have enough in the end I will pay back for the dress as much as I can or at least throw in something for the dress when they pick it up!

I have talked to all the ladies and the feel bad they all cant go but more or less they dont want me upset they cant go. One of my BM said they know they wont be able to make and dont care they bought a dress they can only wear for the AHR. So that got me thinking yeah they wont be able to go on the cruise however they will be able to celebrate with me all night when I get home. They will be a bridal table and they will be announced as bridesmaids at the AHR. Most of them knew before they bought the dress they cant go so that makes me happy they are not getting upset for buying a dress!

Roll in the sand hahaha, that is exactly what my FI says. UGH men. I swear! I will knock him out with a frying pan if I have to

That is what my FI says because he hates taking pics. He thought the ones we did on the cruise were ours. HELLO I get free engagment pics with our AHR photographer whynot? Im so upset about it. All of you ladies have such beautiful engagment photos and my FI wants none. I hope to GOD he turns around and just goes along with it! Anyone else had/have this problem?

OMG thanks ladies for making me freak out on my "night out" we are going here www.flexappealstudios.com Hopefully I wont be fallin' down a pole like that, LOL
