The prices down there are usually better than up here and I'm only 40 minutes from the Bellingham border so I figured it would be a good way to start. Wish me luck! GOOD LUCK! I went to a HUGE Bridal Extrvaganza today and survived!

How do you get to Full member status?

We have a place to unload and load stuff and less than an hour period a tow truck took my car! the apartment started to let them come in and out as they please and without a second thought they will tow your car. I was furious!!! I came out to my car to go out to the gym and I couldn't find my car. I thought it was stolen! I am so glad that I am back on this forum and start more focusing on the wedding stuff. I have so much to share and so much to talk about... I am about to start Chong Sorry to hear that girl I am in Houston too! We live in midtown area! you should hop over on the Houston Thread too. 5 of us have met up for drinks and we are meeting up again in August.

Lindz - I PM'ed you for the link!!! I am so excited to see it Chong I found a BD Photographer in Houston that got recommended to me and she seems really cool in The heights area. Boudoir Mon Cheri and her prices are really the best in town. My friend Shelly has a session for her upcomming wedding in Aug so i am going to see how it goes for her.

As some of you might already know, besides my full time jobs as bride to be and mommy to a beautiful almost 1 year old baby boy (whimper...i can't believe he's going to be 1!) I am a publicist by profession. One of my clients, ShoeDazzle.com (an online styling service which suggests shoes, handbags and accessories for you based on your fashion profile. you select one per month and it's shipped to you for $39.95 per month. it's a lot of fun) well anyway, i got my monthly selection and, gasp, I think i might be wearing my $40 shoes for the wedding. It's hilarious but hey, again, saving money and they give me like 4.5 inches and so far seem pretty comfortable. here's hoping. i've only walked around my apt in them so might have to give them a longer trial run. Also, I am getting a custom monogram made from a gal on etsy. She sent me 9 options today! 9! And they are al pretty great so I just need to figure out which one we like and go from there. I think I might ask for more than one in hi-res so I can use them for different things. If I can figure out how to post them I will. I would love all of your feedback. My friends love Shoedazzle! That is awesome! I was just thinking about joining ShoeDazzle the other day. Do you like a majority of the shoes? Hopefully my monogram will be ready next week. I am waiting on my first round of options!

My vote right now for the Saboteur is The Swim Coach or Annie. I have no really reason, Just a gut feeling!

Congrats and Welcome! I actually ended up choosing my resort based off this Forum! Check out Azul Sensatori about 20 min south of Cancun!

I like #1 AWESOME photos

It was the only way I could think to involve the dogs without it being too cheese or dragging them to Mexico. Plus I got these cute little tuxes to put them in to take their pictures. On my Facebook is there 4th of July pic. Yes I am crazy dog lady! HA

Congrats and Welcome! You are going to love this forum!!

Happy Wedding Day! It's going to be fabulous!!!

We have been living together so long that we have alot of what people "Traditionally" Register for.

But I must say when i start to second guess everything some post a great review of their wedding and it reconfirms that I'm doing the right thing. So Thank you ladies!! I will need to be added to the to do list here next month after the big exam!!! I will be home free and ready to so some serious planning! FYI i'm a dental student and taking my National board exam for my DDS. Plus working to help pay for the wedding of my dreams. So keep me in your prayers and hopefully by the end of August I have good news to share!! Thanks for all your post ladies and talk to you all more here soon!! GOOD LUCK! You will do great!!!

We are navy, turquoise and light blue! Not really sure about flowers though ?

It was the most beautiful day ever and I want to do it all again! I"m so tired right now, so I'm going to be short, but all I can say is it is a FANTASTIC place to get married. No one has any reason to worry at all. I will post pictures as soon as I get some from friends. If anyone wants to add me on facebook to see pics, please do (meghan yao!) ! WELCOME BACK!!!! I am so happy it went well!!! Can't wait to hear all about it!!!!!!
