I can't believe your future hubby is playing in Toledo tonight! This is their opening weekend for the arena and I only live about 3 blocks away! Too small of a world! I wish you were here, too, and we could meet up! How crazy! Our trip was really dirt cheap too, it was an incentive offered through Sunwing! Our TA is amazing, he is getting us all kinds of freebies!! I wish I were there too, I miss him A LOT!!! Only 9 days though!

Hey Autumn! My fiancee is actually playing hockey in Toledo tonight!! I wish I were there!! How the free room thing works (for me at least) is through my travel company they offer incentives for a certain number of guests booked on the trip; for us, its the 12th, 24th, 36th passenger, and so on. So FI and I are using the 12th and 24th for ourselves. This covers the cost of a deluxe room, so we still have to pay the preferred club honeymoon suite upgrade. So, if someone were to NOT upgrade their room to the honeymoon suite, they would only have to pay the taxes... I hope you understand me, that was a little long-winded! Hehe

the 26th.... I'm so pumped!!!

Where did you get it? In a store, or did you buy it online??

Nope, just thought I would ask... hehe I will look though! Could they be shortened do you think?

I wish I had a coupon!! I love going to Michaels but it does add up fast!!

way to go Melissa!! I leave in 10 days to move to Fort Myers!! I was at the mall picking out an outfit to arrive in, since I haven't seen fiance in over a month! I have lost some weight since he last saw me, and I want to have an outfit that shows it Is the shred really good??

Quote: Originally Posted by Tam Hey, Just an FYI, I was looking last night on a website (got the name from here) and they had those twigs/sticks that had the LED lights, run off batteries and were placed as centerpieces in vases. They also had "strings" of them too that (on a different table) were strewn around... both looked really good, but the centrepiece ones were a little too tall for my liking. Hard to see each other ... but they were fairly inexpensive. Are you guys bringing your own toole down too? this pic is what I need to do to shut up on here tonight.... so many thoughts racing through my head right now. Maybe I need this to relax...going to get some wine now. Was it from the website link I posted??

I'm definitely going to look into it... I could get that paper at Michaels (in Canada), right?

SSNM I totally agree! I'm doing mine as cheap as possible, since $90 seems like a whack of money for something I won't even keep!

Tam I don't hasve MUCH about the centrepieces, I have a picture or two from the email she sent me! I am planning to "make my own", since it is probably cheaper... I have a pic at home that I am modeling my centrepieces after, and giving it to Deyanira to set up... we are just doing the disco thing too, its not cheap it makes sense!! You don't have enough for the free room? What happened, dropouts?

My excuse was accepted by the host, and thats all that there is to it. For the rest, I don't know what is going on, and like Sgt Pepperette said, this is starting to get way too negative. Personal opinions are just that... personal. If someone can't weigh in, ultimately, its only that person who doesn't weigh in that is missing out (if it isn't for a good reason). Now, lets get this back on track! How is everyone doing with the stairs challenge? By the way, parking far away is a good idea too, since we are all running around doing stuff for our weddings we are definitely parking our cars somewhere!

Hey ladies! I was watching "Rich Bride, Poor Bride", a show on a Canadian station about a couple planning their wedding and trying to stay on budget, and I noticed something they had that I liked!! The groom and his entourage, and the bride and hers had t-shirts and tank tops respectively with the words "bride, groom, best man" etc on it. I know, not original, but the part that intrigued me was that the writing was in Scriptina!! I'm sure of this, since I used Scriptina for my own invites. Anyone know how they could have done this? Iron on decals or something? If anyone knows how I could go about doing this I would love to hear it, I prefer this to the rhinestones, since it would last through more washes (I think)!

Ginalyn I wasn't meaning you... you are fantastic! I mean others who have missed weeks themselves and are now making others feel bad about it... I dont need to name names, you know who you are! I think the comment made by this person has a sour taste in some peoples' mouth, and is causing some dropouts. To me, THAT is not cool.

To clarify, Stephanie and Natasha you are not held accountable because you did notify me that you would miss this past week. Which is why in the results I indicated <nothing recevied, OK> meaning that I received your emails or PMs. Next time I will change the way I word the results to make it more clear. I'm going to keep the weigh ins on Wednesdays. Thank you for clarifying this Ginalyn, since some people obviously missed it. I think it was clear enough, but perhaps now that you state this, the meaning of the <ok> next to someones name will be understood. Denise, I completely agree, personal lives and health issues sometimes get in the way and those that miss a week for whatever reason shouldn't be made to feel bad for missing a week.

WOW I wish I hadn't bought my dress, that is AMAZING!!!

No I didn't check her out, but I will now! Thanks for the tip Toya!

I have heard P90X is amazing!! I use Hip Hop Abs, and it is fun, but I don't think I use it enough to say that it works the same wornder that P90X does! I'm considering asking FI to buy this for me for xmas, since I am still months and months away from my wedding.. that seems to be the one that gets the best results, and is the most challenging!

It's not that (personally) I get stressed. To be honest I gain engouh weight that next week my results would be completely skewed (since I would be down all of my water weight, and hopefully then some). I agree that it is frustrating that every week we have a few people not weighing in for whatever reason... but this is supposed to be a positive an encouraging place for all who are participating. My personal opinion on the matter!

Sgt Pepperette, who is Wes Weber?

we used little scissors like your dad would use for nose hair, you know the ones! Almost like ones you would use for your eyebrows (minus a comb, of course). I have heard nail clippers work very well, too! good luck!

Wednesdays work well for me too, I emailed to say I wouldnt be weighing in simply because the results would be self-defeating since Aunt Flo is in for her monthly visit... I'm ALWAYS up a few pounds, and I didn't want to beat myself up for a weight gain that wasn't a "real" gain! Keep Wednesdays Ginalyn!!

Ok, stupid question - what is a whiteboard guestbook? Erin I like the idea of the Dominican Republic map, you could put that in a scrapbook of your wedding as well, which would be nice!!

I hope that I will be able to find some real-touch in Florida (where I'm moving) so that maybe I won't have to pay shipping cost! I am using the real bouquet that comes with the package for me (since mine will be pretty basic) and I hope to get real-touch for the bridesmaids. I would be interested to hear about real-touch vendors in Canada, because if their prices are better my parents would order them for me!
