I hope not We JUST started planning ours, and it's only six months away. I don't think it's too late! You just have to be organized.

Well this isnt a vacation is you bff wedding and i am really PISSED! That really sucks. I would be sooooo mad too! I can't believe that even after you offered to pay, she still said no because her bf can't come!! That's some BS right there!

I'm having a dilema with invites too. I want to invite my cousins and aunts and uncles and such, but I'm worried they actually WILL come! We don't have it in our budget to pay for food for everyone if they did decide to come! But at the same time, I don't want anyone's feelings to be hurt because I didn't send them an invite.

I really want to lose 15 lbs before our wedding in January. It's SOOO hard to stay motivated - and find time, especially when there's so much to do! I haven't even been dress shopping yet, because I'm scared to try on dresses with how I look now. Hopefully this thread will offer me some motivation!

Thanks for sharing! I LOVE the engagement photo of him kissing your forehead...definately my fav! Your ring is gorgeous! I like your ahead for the place cards in the cork. How creative.

I liked watching that show too, but I do agree with the unfairness. They should all be in and around the same budget! I also like the idea of having girls who are engaged, but not competing judging for a more unbiased score.

So beautiful! Love them!! I like the ones where you're being playful, because they look natural.

LOVE True Blood and LOVE Eric! lol My only complaint, is that I do find the character dynamic a little cliche. I hate to draw comparissons to Buffy - because these shows aren't even on the same level, but Bill being a little whiny and brooding reminds me of how Angel was in the earlier seasons of Buffy. And now Eric - the hot bad boy who's into Sookie, reminds me how Spike was near the end of the Buffy series. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE the show. And I guess cliches and cliches because they work.

Beautiful pictures. I like that his pocket squares are always matching your outfit!

We were initially going to book with something like Expedia too, but in the end decided to use a TA, mostly because I didn't want a million calls to us regarding travel arrangements, prices etc. - I'd rather everyone just talk to our TA. She said she would price match anything we found online.

Wow! Those are awesome!! So hawt!

Congrats, and happy planning. This site is a treasure trove full of useful info!

We liked the decor at the Jalisco better too. It just had a more "mexican" feel to it. And they have a super pretty gazebo in the courtyard, which I'm assuming they use for weddings.

Congrats - everything looks beautiful!! Love the colours!

I absolutely love all you stuff. You should be proud!!

Nice work! Love the matchbooks!

Super cute. I like the heart on his stomach.

Good luck and keep us posted. Thanks for the advice and comments. I am also saddened by the fact that she is getting married this November and didn't ask me to be in her wedding party She's having a DW as well, and invited me to come, but not to participate, which sucks. I always imagined us being in each other's weddings when we were growing up. But I suppose I should extend the olive branch, so to speak and make the first move towards reconciliation

Good work. They look awesome. I'm in the midst of gathering supplies for mine. I need all the inspiration I can get. lol.

I'm a little bit of a control freak and don't want to leave it up to other people. I also don't want to pack a bunch of stuff if I don't have to, so I might just give them out at Christmas when we see everyone.

Those are GORGEOUS! WOW!

What a great thread! Here's mine: My sister and her FI have been living in my ex-FI's basement, because he offered them cheap rent, for the last two years. Needless to say, it has caused great strain on mine and her's relationship (it wasn't a "good" break-up between me and him) - my sister and I didn't speak for an entire year. So here's the confession part...even though I act like it doesn't bother me, and tell everyone it doesn't matter to me - it absolutely breaks my heart that she isn't going to be in my wedding party. (We were best friends growing up!)

Welcome! I'm sure you'll find tons of information and support from everyone here.

I am so sorry. I wish you all the best and hope everything works out.
