Yay, we are on the move MoonPalace I am considering DJ Mannia as well, I have too many party people to worry about the Ipod I am going to do real touch as well, where did you get yours from?

Hey Sharon99, I hear you, the dresses are dynamic. I started gathering pictures and doing research of what I want but between loosing weight and gathering more folks, its safe for me to wait until late summer to begin my search ;-) Philly Philly ;-)

Hey Ladies, One of my bridesmaid have been doing this and is down 20 pounds. I am looking to start this after I get over my cold, but my main concern is buying the HCG online. I tired buying some diet stuff on line before and even after canceling they kept taking money out of my account. So since you ladies are having success where can I safely purchase this product either on line and in stores. does whole food carry this?

Very Pretty

This is really nice. Great Job

You and me both. There is so much information on here! Sometimes I have to turn away and say that I am done on a specific topic LOL

Jbean, Good taste I have some of these marked as inspirations as well ;-)

Planning for me is going well: Photog: I booked Ivan Luckie about 2 weeks ago STDs : Sarah from Sprouille Designs sent our 1st pdf file for our save the dates and FI and I were so amazed. So that's going really well she's doing our boarding pass STD, monogram and passport invites. Once I get our monogram I will order towels and bags for our OOT an start a few DIY projects Our Website is almost done Bridesmaids: dresses are chosen and all loved them YAY, that's my gift to them so I'm waiting for a sale ;-) FI picked the colors from Studio linens that he likes, so we are going to place an order for "a" suit soon. He's a little skeptic so this is to satisfy him. We are working on wedding and reception set-up now (we are going from Cancun to Hawaii) so we don't want to take much but want to save.

Ellabaja big3and09, I totally understand!! I was raised by my grandmother totally long story there so I know how it feels on both ends. And Ellabaja, I totally know how it feels with the "mom destroying things" For some reason it seems that most men that I have dated which tended to be 10-15yrs older than me had kids, so I have unfortunately dealt with it all. Being that FI and I are so close to age, and both having only 1 child, our ideals are very much the same on parenting. We were both very strict on introducing our children to anybody and it wasn't until mid way through our relationship that we met each others kid. Nevertheless, he and I both agreed (once we knew that this was it for us) to sit down and talk with his daughter's mom. In that conversation FI told her his plans on marrying me etc.. she and I had our own conversation where she and I both exchanged questions etc.. and that was that. So around prom time things were a bit smoother and she herself came to me and said, you are a good fit for him. I was floored to say the least. But I can say it does make it easier when your FI and the mom have a good parental relationship or at least a mutual agreement. Ladies, I encourage you to talk to your FI about how you feel. HE is the KEY in all of this! Without his intervention, push or direction, things will be harder than what they should be and this is not fair to us "new moms" Oh and I would also encourage you to do things with the kids apart from your FI. This way they can get to know you. Boy was I ultra nervous doing this but his daughter talked from the time I picked her up until the time I dropped her off. We hung out so long that her dad called the both of us and asked if we were okay... she laughed her heart out and said "yes i'm having a good time". Needless to say when I finally got home, I had a surprise waiting for me sorry for the misspellings I am on Theraflu ;-(

Ellabaja1983 So often things happens and the children have nothing to do with it. Who knows all that goes on in the minds of these children (was it their fault, what if they did something etc..) but isn't it nice to know that they have "another mom, or dad, or whatever name(s) that they may call us" that will be there for them. I'm not saying that it will be easy all the time, everything in life has its challenges but I just encourage everyone to try your best to treat your new daughters and sons as your own. I know that I would give a right arm, leg, kidney for my 10 year old, and guess what I expect that same of the man that I will marry. Besides he we all knew what we were getting into right? Even if we have to or find ourselves banging our heads sometimes ;-) Nite Nite or Good Morning to some.

welcome labebita911

Hi Ladies, Well I am a single mom of a lovely 10 year old boy and I am gaining a 18 year old. FI is 39 and I am 36 so the age difference is pretty much null and void. The hard part, for my FI is that my son is quite at times. Until he came into his life a year ago, my son has been going through his "why isn't my dad around etc.." so he is very cautious with FI... they both have a ball together and have formed their own bond, but I know my son somewhere in his little scientist mind is waiting for the big day to say okay... now this is real I can let go. As far as my soon to be step-daughter, we have our days for US a the guys do theirs. It's nice because she can tell me exactly how she feels from "Ms. Chanel you are the one for my dad" to I'm not really sure how I feel about somebody else calling my dad, dad." So, we take it easy and always leave the door open for questions. The one thing that I told all of them FI, The Mom, daughter and my son is that I don't believe in calling anyone STEP.. so when I introduce you, you will be my daughter. And that's not to take away from anyone but that's just me. I will always treat you, as if you are my own daughter because I do not believe in separation. His family is really supportive as well so its great. Wow this thread it pretty cool as I realized that I typed a paragraph ;-)

Go krsmith, Doesn't it feel good to put that big ole fat CHECK next to things....

Sarah, I have swatches that I would be willing to send. I have the Linen Suites: tropical beige & tan these are the ones for $99. I also have swatches of the pure linen of Tan. If you want to PM me your address I'll send them to you.

Jana297 How are you? You have been missed but Welcome back

Perry1217 this is so pretty. I too am selecting a dress that will have somewhat of a Mexican flare to it. I'm going dress shopping in the summer...

Thanks so much for the update. I can't wait to order.

pitt2011, I have booked Ivan for 2012. All of the pictures at this point are on dvd or flash drive so that you can print. The problem that not just Ivan but many photogs have is that the shipping is very tricky when it comes to customs. Before, I choose Ivan I had spoken to quite a few vendors who currently offered prints but was going to move to dvd as well.

Kris9685 this is an amazing place. Great find!

bride KSmith, I am sooooo sorry that this is happening to you. Definitely calm down and get in contact with a manager right away.

Nice!! How's your planning going? Mine is coming along nicely. I can't wait to start trying on dresses in the summer

Moon Palace, Cancun and you?

I totally agree.

MP2012...I think many of us (despite the inconsistencies with MP) stick to it because not only is the place great, but they are also economical. The perks are a big plus too.

Yay that's awesome, where are you getting married?
