Meghan..I am glad things worked out with the photog and your were able to get some savings on the room..there are lots I haven't mentioned to Brian..lol..like u said it will be one of those 20yr later things!! yeah Meghan Brian isn't a jewlery guy either so he was def all for a 6mm... As far as him picking out a ring...HE GOT TIRED OF THE DROUGHT GOING ON IN OUR BEDROOM!!!!....lmao...he is a big procrastinator..so I had to give him some motivation.... Tracy Ms. Gloria was truly a godsend and the fact that we are on a payment plan and didn't have to pay all up front was even better..she gave us until the AHR to have everything paid..and to give us the photography copyrights was even better..I am glad your photog didn't make you waste ur deposit esp after the hall..but I would def ask what will your BD shoot include as far as pics, will u have to make the book, etc..just so you can know. Tracy if you go on Tungstens web site they have a chart that shows the different mm on the bands and tell u which are mor typical for men/women... Greg'sBride...yay for checks!!! As much as we can get done the better!!!

Tracy, I agree with Erin..90 pics is a lot..we had 244 and for me that was way too many..got my monies worth but it was a lot of pics..my photog is doing mine as well plus our ahr..and she included my 2 books, 1 bd & 1 storybook complete with all our pics..it was a pkg deal like 1600 which includes a setup @ AHR for guests, etc...

That rules out most of the sexy shots Miracle bras..they include them in so much these days or maybe some kind of bra inserts Well thankfully Brian has picked his ring out...he go the Tungsten Xenon forever ring 6mm..I am happy!!!..now it's time for the suit...also got our plane tickets on Southwest..182 roundtrip non stop..YAY!!!!! making progress!!! Yall have a Happy Hump day!! gotta do some work

Tracy...I am just glad you guys had fun...is this the same photog doing your BD shoot?

Tonya...the purple is my favorite...but def either one with the color in it are beautiful. Tracy...hope you figured something out and had/having fun at your shoot...you see we did jeans as well..it's about you two having fun...I didn't care about the clothes because we had so much fun doing the shoot it didn't matter and that showed. Can't wait to see how it all came together & how much fun you guys had!

Karen..thank you sweetie..the one from Target is just what I am looking for but I need a larger size..I am like a 16/18 (lane bryant size) which is my problem...saw the advantage bridal site and didn't have my size..I have an email in to one called custom crystals to see what she says since she offers 2x...but I think you are right I am gonna have to wait until after winter...just one more thing I need to worry about right? Thanks for the links and help!!

Thanks...I have been googling this all day...I know ppl who sew so maybe I can get something made I tried old navy but nothing that I wanted and no matching sets...I am gonna just keep looking...just didn't want a plain soon to be tank..

Great idea but I can't find the actual hoodie set...

Hello ladies...I am looking for a hoodie/short set for the day of the wedding...that I can get embroidered..... to wear while I am getting ready...I am a size 16/18 (lane bryant) and am having trouble finding a site that sells the size..the most I can find is a tank..any sites/help is appreciated...TIA!!! colors looking for white canary yellow chocolate brown

For ideas maybe a fun dress up outfits (halloween is here!) with sexy bra and panties peeking out, maybe a super sexy bra and thong set, or maybe just a white sheet. Don't for get to bring a selection od accessories (really long and medium length necklaces, choker), and shoes with high heels. The higher the better! Good Luck and have a blast! I agree...it's the accessories for me...I am getting some new lingerie items...but I have been buying lots of rhumba panties..Burlington lets u put jewlery in layaway so when I was getting other stuff I got lot's of pearls..and some really high heels...I am super excited...

Awww now that is a beautiful story...Congrats!!!

Really cute story!! Congrats!!!

Oh dang Suzy..that sucks..hopefully they can get u something for the ulcer or can u call ur doc back and tell his nurse to see if he can work u in or prescribe meds? nothing like a toddler to get a scary dr...in line..lol!! will pray that ur sister is ok and has a speedy recovery.... Get some rest!!!! uh yeah I am so over the whole H1N1 vaccine mess...seriously u knew it was coming, why not make enough and it has been all over the news..geesh..that's the gov't for ya though....*smh*

Erin...yep I have noticed they don't put them up..my photog thankfully asks for a signed release but they are password protected. I will def share...have to make sure I can "bare" the elements not sure how warm it will be in March..lol!!! I am gonna check out some magazines like for truckers or something and see what I can come up with.... I am thankful she is the same one who did our e-pics so she will know what will work...

Not getting married in HI but wanted to say..I am so glad my FI and are not the only ones going to their DW by themselves...actually doing it in Vegas which I know you are not looking for..but wanted to say good luck with the planning!!

Tonya..can't wait to see pics..sounds like you had fun!!! For me we are just doing for our kids, parents, that's it. For both of us..a flat screen..... I thought we all were in the 5mnths on our tickers..seems like mine has been saying 5mnths forever.. however if any of youwho follow photog blogs or anything see any photos particularly boudoir involving a big rig/tractor trailer plz let me know...TIA!!!

Meghan...I must be slow..if he lives in Mexico..why do you have to get him a room at all? I am using a photog from Vegas and he has mentioned nothing of the sort..but if you have to..I would do option A and would you be able to change and keep the room if the price drops after you book it? Stacey..if you don't feel it then...don't buy it...if you can push your trip up then do that...what are you looking for as far as a dress...ie style, beading, length..maybe starting there would help...the first dress I tried on I thought was the one..after nother trip to another store..I did find the one..but I had an idea of what I was looking for..I wouldn't concentrate on finding "the one" or having that feeling..what I will say is try to get an idea of what you want and start there..not lots of time left and we def don't want you stressing cause there is more to get done..hopefully you will find your dress..GL!!!

Ok I have missed a lot in a day...hope all is well with everyone.. Michele can't wait to see how your invites turned out!!! For our AHR I am thinking of using the wedding announcement to double as a invite for the AHR but I do want to have RSVP"S so not sure about that... Hope everyone in having a wonderful day.

I will def check on the dollar store for the dice...but I have seen some really pretty pics done in the snow..if you can handle the cold....

Nice pictures!!! Your friend did a really good job..I love the train shots!!!

Tracy...ok I knew I wasn't trippin..but some in the snow would be beautiful esp while it's falling!! As for the wedding planning I have hit a plateau as far as our AHR..I desperately need to find loose dice in bulk..but it has been more challenging...I also am thinking of cancelling the picture pkg I bought..our initial wedding pkg comes with ceremony photos...and since I plan on having a photog come and do shots of us getting ready and then afterwards on the strip..B might get tired of pics real soon...so I am gonna cancel that pkg and just keep the pkg for on the strip.... uuuggghhhh decisions... Natasha..I think appetizers/drinks is more than sufficient...instead of doing a big dinner...and would be appreciated by your guests... Erin glad your back and can't wait to see pics!!! ooohhh a massage sounds so wonderful right now!
