Finally at Target I found a men's large t-shirt, bright green that looks like a fake sweater vest with a decorated reindeer on the front and I'm wearing a red sweater underneath. So I look ridiculous because it's huge. Then tonight I have to run home workout and go over my BF's house as we're having our annual White Elephant party tonight, we always cook a feast (none of which I can even have) and the do the gift exchange, should be fun! Sorry, more rambling! ahhh i'm jealous you work with your FI....me and mine don't even live together yet (once we decided to get married we put off moving out so money could go on the wedding rather than rent!) and so we only see each other at the weekend (seeing each other during the week is a luxury as we both work long hours and by the time we both get in and before we go to bed, it's just not worth it!!) also, what is a White Elephant party? am i being thick??!!! I'm sure I've never heard of that before lol and congrats to your FI on winning....again! lol

(an abbreviated version of 'the dogs bollocks'!!) Although writing it on here does make me wonder how that ended up having the meaning it does?! lol

I still need to look at some others to rule them out. It was exciting to say the least! hahaha catching up on the posts make me laugh. You girls crack me up! Well done you! wooo how exciting! sounds like you're nearly there now! (and why doesn't it surprise me that you need to eliminate others first, rather than just falling in love with one straight away?! lol) !!

So, I had to go into man talk, and I explained: it's like how when you start off in Call of Duty, you're a recruit, but after so many kills, you become a private. and then he understood my excitement and celebrated that's brilliant! I need a 'like' button for that!

hey Kendra, First of all, no wedding planning is straight forward!! lol just so you're not disillusioned... what I've learnt is there's always someone with something to say about every decision you make....so the best policy is to make decisions based on what YOU both want. my family weren't overly keen on the idea, and I haven't heard the last of how much it's going to cost them to be there, but it's a 2 week holiday for them as well at the end of the day and I know they wouldn't not be there. We both phoned family members when we initially had the idea of a destination wedding and asked them all first if we did it would they come. That's a good starting block i'd say...but do just follow your heart and your wishes...this is YOUR day. Good luck

Its wonderful she will still be able to share in other parts of the wedding. As you would say in your cute brit accent, "Well done!" haha! are there other words/phrases that you all associate with us Brits?? I find it fascinating that 'well done' stands out to you all...but can just imagine you all saying it in your heads in a post accent like the Queen!! lol

it was just now! (it's 10 pm wednesday night in the UK) and I've just got in.... my instincts and gut feeling were spot on. after I'd got over the shock of her text, I said to a few people 'knowing her as I do, she's done it as a text as she bottled calling me and hates confrontation; somethings made her rethink mexico and she added the other things about our friendship etc to justify it to herself (and me I suppose) and she didn't get me after because she just put her head in the sand.' and I was 100% correct. she couldn't believe it when I said it to her that that was what I thought because I'd got everything spot on! but we talked, and she explained it all and everything in her life that's contributed to it. I still stuck to what I said in my email and explained that it wasn't her not coming to mexico that upset me, it was the rest of what she said. she apologied for saying them and said that I was 100% right in what I said in my email to her and she understood everything I'd said. She's got a lot of crap going on atm and had just got to the point of just everything getting on top of her...sent the text...and then thought 'what am I doing? I need Katie now' but after she sent the text she was too scared to ring me because she knew she'd upset me and didn't want to hear me crying and making her realise what she'd done to me. hey, i could go on for ages, but big smiles all round and a HUGE relief from me and she wants to be involved in the rest of the wedding too. but just as importantly (get the tissues out)...I do genuinely want to say a big thank you to you all. you were all sooo supportive at a time when I felt really rubbish and you all helped me keep my hopes and head high. I won't forget it. xx <3 xx

She has been a complete lifesaver, and if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't even be at Azul Sensatori. I was planning to do my wedding at another resort, but she hooked me up with an awesome deal at AS, and I am SOOO grateful! on another note, I am posting like crazy on all of the boards, trying to move up to junior member! Work is super slow, so this is my new goal today, lol. nearly there! keep going!! I'm posting for my senior member status...think that may take a bit longer tho! lol

Quote: Originally Posted by MrsVaughn2B Katie, Its great you are getting together and trying to work things out. You will feel better getting your feeling out in the open, no matter what the outcome is. Lots of hugs and positive thoughts. Thanks so much andrea you have all been so great!

we slipped to page 4 of the threads so thought I'd bump us back up so we don't get forgotten!!
