Welcome. This is the best to be!

I would like to add communion during our ceremony. First communion as huband and wife. Has anybody else requested this or did this. Trying to determine how it worked in the ceremony.

Saints all the way Babay!

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I cannot wait to take a pic with me in it. It was actually second dress because issues with the first but it worked out well.

its ur day and your mom wore what she wanted on hers. If you light up then the true beauty of you is showing in the dress u want. Once you walk down the aisle, all will be forgotten.

Marak comment is so funny. Very Clever;-) I agree with the other ladies. There is nice and then there taking advantage. I know why you are her BFF but I do not why she is urs. I am sure this is not the first time. Hold ur ground and check with Marak before u make ur next move bc that was good.

I feel the love when reading these first dates. Can't wait to read more. It is amazing how these are so similar. Did anybody know he was the one on the first date?

I nver thought about the welcome dinner but it is a great idea. Just a little meet and greet and OOT gifts giveaway.

Here is my dress on someone else. I will switch the pic once mine is fitted.

It was a week after we we met on Saturday and we were both in the gym. We were planning to go out on Monday. Joseph thought it was me but he did not speak. I knew it was him but pretended I didn't notice him. As soon as Joseph got home he called me and we met for breakfast at Cracker Barrel (Joseph's favorite restaurant after O'Charley's). My first thought was..."he is shorter than I remember." But we went on our second date, bowling that night. (He was beat bad). We even have pictures to prove it.

Thanks for laughs and encouragement. I hope she drinks! :-)

Understood! I cried and prayed many times during this process because of how some people reacted to us having a DW. If I knew everybody would be this excited at the end I would have saved my tears. Hindsight is 20/20 so from one DW to another DW...enjoy this process!

Thanks. I wil kepp the video and if there is some extra money I will add the hours. I really like the slideshow idea as well. I will have to borrow that one.

It is Jan's Bridal & Flowers. The e-mail address is [email protected]. She has a website put the pics on the website are ok Jans Bridal and Flowers. I read that other brides liked their flowers done by her.

Thanks. I have been reading it and trying this at the same time. Sorry.

First fitting went well. It didn't fit but at least it made it over my hips. :-) She is going to let out on my hips. The dress has some extra material in the seam. Thank you Lord! This is not me but this is the dress. I will take a pic of me in it during my next fitting. Not too cute this fitting. :-)

I am using Jan Flowers. Great prices won't know about actual look until wedding. They looked great on pics.

I think I will do everything I want. Keep the party going. just need to decide between disco or poolside with dj.

This is a good thread. i was concerned as well. But I am sure it will all work out in the end. Partay!

No, I love my dress and it is light. I figure I only get one time to wear it and I am going to get the most out it.

I bought my dress at a sample sale 80% off. It is beautiful. But it was snug. The seamstress told me it could be let out but I was determine to lose the weight. But I haven't and my first fitting is tonight! I have a picture of it but cannot find it. I will post it tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Oh I picked up a few since then :-/

I chose a less expensive resort and location for my guest. I wanted Hawaii but it would have out priced most ppl. But the crazy thing is that the people who are going to come are going to come. I don't mean go crazy. Mine is about $850 per person. I though this was fairly reasonable. We are going to switch resorts for our honeymoon. A more expensive one to satisfy what we want as well.

Like insanely freaking out thats its so close and gonna be so official..just want to know if anyone else has gone through this or im just psychotic? lol Thanks We have the same wedding day! I understand. It is almost like this is really happening soon. Also, I am consumed with wedding. Wedding this and wedding that. But I think it is normal And surreal.

OMG!!! I have a vent! I hang out with a group of gals. I am closer to some than others. One in particular I don't care for and just realized it when she came to my house for a girls night and insulted me several times. Didn't particpate in my planned activity...told me my house was really nice but the other houses in the area did not look as good. Even wished me luck in making to the wedding day because a friend of hers who planning a SW fell apart. To say I was happy when she left. Well, I invited all the other gals to bridal shower and wedding and could not leave her out bc we all hang together. Didn't want any tension. I just knew she wasn't coming to the wedding and hoping she wouldn't come to bridal shower. OMG she booked for the wedding! I am in shock. I don't even understand why she would come. Luckily one of other friends is coming to be buffer. WHY!!!! WHY!!! WHY!!! Ranting and Raving

I promise it gets better. It just happened about two weeks ago. And my wedding is in less than two months.
