I've had a wobbly day today girls. On an all time low! Not only is my dad not coming to the wedding but now our best man has dropped out. His wife is having a baby and it will only be 6/7months old when we go. (she wont let him come for a week on his own). FI is gutted to say the least. Shed a tear today over all the upset the wedding seems to be causing and wondering if a desination wedding is really worth it! Everyone seems out to ruin it for us (.......(sorry for being a winge bag)!

Aww thanks girls i'm glad you like them... to be honest they are not what i was looking for at all. I wanted a ivory/diamonte sandal or a pink sandal but i see these and liked them. I thought they were such a bargain i couldn't miss out on them, even if i didn't wear them for the wedding..... Nicy I'm hoping booking up will give me a little more motivation to move my butt too lol.... My shoe only comes in ivory or black (... how about any of these? Or are they too high? Search Results

Ive had a quick look the last few days but nothing stands out!!! I think this is one that is going to drive me mad.... Look forward to your "Flash" :-) I tried weight watchers last year fron April to about October and I loved it at first the weight was coming of slow but steady but then i went from loosing 2 pound one week putting on the next then lossing a pound and putting back on the next, i just dont know what i was doing wrong?! I have actually started it again myself at home pointing rather than going to the weekly meetings to see how i get on, so far i have had one weigh in and i stayed the same but im going to keep going i need to loose about 21 pounds so even if i just loose 1.5 pounds a month from now til the wedding i will be happy. Now the nice weather has started to show its head like someone mentioned in an earlier it will be easier to get out and about :-) xoxox Nicy you dont look like you need to loose 21lbs girl there will be nothing of you!! I have 14lb's i'd like to loose. Well really i need to tone up! I would not be happy in a bikini in Mexico with a cocktail in hand....sunbathing.....sorry dreaming again! lol with my flabby thighs! This is my problem area! I know only hard work will help ) it's just doing it, hee hee..... Ok here are my shoes! What do you think! (i know they are high but i am planning on taking some flats with me too....) Excuse my stumpy legs! Just wanted to give an idea of what they look like on!

Hi ya - well when i was in store the lady gathered up the bottom to see what it would look like shorter and it seemed OK without moving the flower pickups. But when i go for my first fitting which wont be for months yet i will get a real ideal from what the seamstress says. I dont want to alter it to much as it is beautiful. But when it's on the train seems alot longer than in the actual picture.

Oh and my shoes have come! They are lovely!!! Will post pic's later ;o)

Hello to all the newbies!! I agree with the other brides. Finding the perfect resort was the by far the hardest part! It took me and my FI/Friend months to decide. But once you have it's a great feeling!! Good luck with making your short list! Most of the hotels are beautiful along the Riviera Maya which makes it harder too ) We are going to Barcelo Maya Palace! There are 5 hotels on site all suitable for different budgets. It is kid friendly and they also have an adults only part, so something for everyone ;o) Weight watchers is great. My sister MOH is doing it. She has lost 19lb so far since christmas! Well done to you all!

P90X...I did plyometrics and abs last night and I'm totally feeling it today. I guess I should expect that from something called 'Ab Ripper'! Mexbride--You're right, the Priscilla in Tyson's is pretty limited. I actually found my dress at their store in Orlando where my family lives. It was huge and amazing. I tried on a Bliss dress at Hannelore's, the organza in the dress was really light and felt great for a DW. Here's my dress...it's lace with tulle at the bottom. Picking lace was a surprise for me: You look beautiful, the dress really suits you and what an amazing figure! Love it!!

I was going with a flower but have gone off the idea now as my dress has flowers on it and i dont want to go OTT with it. So i am going to have my bridesmaids have a flower in their hair. I will probably go with a real flower too )

Quote: Originally Posted by LynnieS OMG this is a BEAUTIFUL dress, congrats!! Oh, a little off topic on this thread but I love your hair in your siggy!! Its almost exactly what I want for my hair (from what I can see). You don't have any pics of it from the back do you? haha ok back to dresses! Awww thank you! I had my hair to one side. Here is a pic that my FMIL took.... Your dress is beautiful. I love the back detail. You have a gorgeous figure. I'm very jealous. (in a nice way ;o)

Thanx for the comments on the dress girls! Karen Millen is lovely - mum has been looking in there for her mother of the bride dress but hasn't seen anything she likes yet (... Have any other 'mums' got there outfits yet?

Nicy - Congrats hun! That is wonderful news! I love they sent you an email from your nephew! So sweet. Oooo i wonder if it's a boy or girl this time round. So exciting! My friend had her baby on thursday. She has two boys already and longed for a girl and she got her wish! Little Lily and she is gorgeous! I frequently go on at my sister to have a baby, lol. She spoils my two rotten and i'd love to do the whole auntie thing! Being at the birth must be amazing! I had my FI and my mum at the birth of Scarlett (which was at home, both my children were born at home with no pain relief, i know i know i must be mad, lol) but it was lovely! Not a day goes by that i dont look at my kids and think how much i love them! Mexbride - I haven't seen that programme on in the UK but we do have a programme called Four Weddings, (not sure if it's on in the US?) I love it!! As it says in the title it's about 4 brides/weddings. Each bride attends the other 3 weddings and they all judge the day and the winning bride/wedding wins a 5* honeymoon. It is very entertaining. They judge the dress, overall experience, food and venue! There are some crazy ppl out there i tell you but i love the programme and i've got my mum hooked on it now too, hee hee!

I am only planning on getting married once and I want a fab dress regardless of it is beachy. Yay to us! I couldn't agree with you more! Well said!

Quote: Originally Posted by RaychelRae Michelle, every time I see you post I take notice of that red dress you're wearing in your sig pic. I love one-shoulder things as well as big flower embellishments! Do you have a full photo of that dress you're wearing? I would love to finally see the whole outfit! It looks super cute! Sorry for the abrupt change of subject! Ha ha Raychel you make me laugh. I dont have a full length photo of me in it ( but this is the whole dress..... Its from Karen Millen! Love her dresses! I wore it with red satin shoes )

Quote: Originally Posted by Nicyx Im sure when you get them they will be more perfect than the Pic :-) What a great idea about swaping shoes... now theres an idea!! haha Yea it was so so good to see my parents, my poor brother!! hope he gets home today!! ARGH!!!! I Know a few weeks to go... I am so scared and excited... scared incase prices arent what i expect and excited coz weve been waiting for far too long!!! I just cant wait for it to feel real :-) xox Lol well i'm thinking if i do go with the ivory peep toe i will have my nails painted bright pink! I was going with french manicure but maybe a splash of colour would be good. I am having pink flowers so it will go fine i think? Sooooooo exciting! I really hope the prices are good. We are booking a yr in advance so hopefully we'll get early booking discount ) I dont want to pay more than £6000 for the two weeks really (we have to pay adult price for Harrison as he will be over 12 yrs old ;o(......) I will jump for joy if we get it for 5k...

here is mine! I love it...... Ambrosia - by Maggie Sottero

And how cute is that hair pin for Scarlette :-) Im looking for Aqua shoes but as Mexbride83 has said its hard to find aqua so not sure what im doing yet. I do love the idea of coloured shoes though. What a great idea having your something blue as your shoes :-) I had the best day yesterday.... My mum and dad turned up at my house with my gorgeous nephew, (bit of a story why though) they were in the lake district for the day (about an hour away from our house) and were going to stay at a travel lodge but then my mum phoned me to say my dozy brother, who has been in Amsterdam the last few days with his GF, had lost his passport and his GF has lost her purse so wanted to come to mine to get online to transfer money to his account so they have some money because the embassy was also closed when he went to see what to do, so they have to go back today..... i am sat here at the mo with absolutly no idea where my bro is as his battery has gone flat on his mobile!!!! argh... but the up note is i got to see my mum,dad and gorgeous nephew for the first time since October :-) What a lovely suprise :-) xoxox Thanx hun i love em too! I just hope they are as nice in the flesh as the pic! I love the thought of having a pink or blue pair of shoes too ) I might get some and just swap throughout the day lol.... Oh that is lovely you got to see your parents! What a lovely surprise although the not so good on your brothers part hee hee! Only a couple of weeks till booking )

Quote: Originally Posted by bahiabride2010 Thanks Michelle...that is what I was thinking too! I wanted a little something whimsy but didn't want to be too fussy or not myself. I love the tiara because it adds a little sparkle! I must say finding one like this wasn't tough but finding it at a good price point was...most were $150! Way too much in my opinion...I ended up finding this one for $70 and it was what I wanted Good luck in your search! Thanx - this is how i'm hoping to have my hair so i'm on the look out now for a pretty headband/tiara/diamonte slide to go with it.....
