Mocha-We literally shopped till we dropped. Left the house at 7am ish and got home at 1:45am!!! Mind you there was a huge snow storm and we slightly got lost on the way home by going east instead of west or something but found our way out lol I went to Davids bridal and found a dress with the ruffle skirt i want that could easily be removed and put on my dress but i couldn't justify the $850 price tag for just the skirt so I am going to try and work with what i have i think!!! Great sales everywhere. I printed off your coupon for Coach but went I got there they were giving them out at the door too. Oh and there were a whole bunch of purses already 50% off and then the 30 on top, I went WILD!!!! Bought three!!! Well one for my sister that is still standing in the wedding. Boy the other one will be jealous hehehe Also found some turquoise sandals for the wedding or TTD. Not sure but I want a picture of them with my dress and the shoes showing. They aren't that fancy so I can use them with skirts and capris so they are functional also. Got bras, undies, neglige,swimsuit,boots, another paid of sandals, starfish stuff for the wedding, purse hooks, cardstock, travel size items for the trip, toiletteries, shift for FI and I am sure more but can't remember. Got lucky as I almost got nabbed at the border but i declared 150 and they didn't charge me duty YAY! I so want to take another trip because I didn't really get any clothes and didn't even make it to walden galleria lol Has your ring come in yet?

hahaha, I knew I had emailed about koozies before and I just checked my outbox and I did send barry promos an email on Dec 13th and NEVER heard anything back. Ladies do not deal with this guy!!!!!

Laura- Mine is July 2nd and I think you said yours was June 25th.

http://www.linentablecloth.com/ This is where I got all my linens from awhile back.

Is kustom koozies the same guy that Brandy dealt with? Michelle if you don't mind me asking what was the cost and how many did you get? Oh and Thanks for the compliments ladies!

Hahahaha Mocha, I know it's ridiculous how much I have played with these things. I must have about 100 different versions of pictures! Lua- I got mine from???? oh shoot I can't remember now. Let me check my invoice tonight and I will let you know. Erin-so funny FI and I were just talking about that last night. We are thinking of scrapping the starfish wine bottle stoppers and getting koozies instead but the only thing I remember about them is Brandys horrible experience.

Tris-everything looks great! Good job, you are so creative! Lua-very pretty rings! I am dying to try mine on again thanks! It has been so long since i have. Playing around with centerpieces, what do you ladies think?

The private bar is 350$ plus taxes.

Mischaka, you're pictures are beautiful! congrats!

OK it's obviously friday and my brain in fried!!!!! I meant Greys where I put Tenny in the above post. Tenny-Beautiful pics though!

oops $250 not 4250

Kitty Great job on the vista print order. I love it when things look professionally done! Tenny-How cute are those!!!! I love starfish! Ok I will go second! My offical title is Risk Manager-Retail and Fleet Divisions for a car leasing company. What that means is I manage credit, collections, receivables, insurance, legal matters and well anything that has to do with Risk to the company. Mocha-my 407 bill is about 4250 to $300 a month because I go from the 410 to Yonge everyday and back and I negotiated 200$ a month for gas when I started 4years ago(thank god!) The 407 (for you US ladies it is a toll highway) is beautiful, it saves me so much time in the car but there is no way in hell I would pay for that myself!

Ditto to Greys comments, looking pretty Tenny!

I am going with the private bar because a previous bride said service was slow and I have some drinkers so I want them to be happy campers!

It helps for sure and this is somthing I negotiated when I started and I am glad I did cause almost 4 years with no raise is crazy. My first year here I gave my staff raises but didn't get one from my boss! He is no longer here and I love my new VP so things are looking up! I leave April 23rd Brandy! 7weeks yikes!!!! So much still to do.

Teira, the trouble, hard work and persistence paid off, they are great! Lua sorry to hear about the bonus situation. I will have been with this new company now four years in July and haven't even received a raise!!! It looks like we will be getting one this year but I also came from a company where I used to get 15% bonus each year so it has been an adjustment. The only positive is they pay for my 407 bill and gas! (thank god with the price being so high right now) Brandy-I am so excited for you. I soooo hope that you will be back and have a review and pics posted before I leave for my wedding!

This is a response I received from a lady in Canada that does the hangers that Mocha suggested if anyone is interested. Hi Lisa, Thank you for your interest in my hangers! I am still offering $5 off for weddinggirl.ca brides!

Thanks Mocha and ya I would love that coupon. I was thinking of you today when I was printing out a whole bunch of directions to all the places you mentioned lol I really only know how to get to Walden galleria so this should be an adventure and a half! They are calling for snow overnight so I hope it clears up by Saturday morning!!! I haven't checked the weather all the way there just in the GTA. Stay warm!

I am so happy to hear that and congratulations on being a MRS!!!

Brandy-I love the flower and the song! Laura-everything looks great, all hail Vista Print! Our savour lol Tris-You are a trooper taking on a new house AND renos Erin thanks for the downloads, I am going to check them out at work tomorrow because I have an ancient word program! I just found a singer and song I have never heard before but love it. I think it's a too fast for a first dance but I am going to use it in my video that I am showing at my AHR. What do you guys think! She has alot of good songs! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYzdfyB7vyQ&feature=fvst http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDMS95_WoZw&feature=related Meggers- Ya i don't think he would be happy that i am sharing his softer side on here but oh well!!! Too much on the list to get down. This weekend I go to buffalo yay Next weekend teeth whitening That's about as far as I can think right now. I have had a few draining days with family drama with my dad and my sister that is no longer standing in my wedding so I am just exhausted. IMy tenant has also given his notice so I am trying to find a new tenant which is taking up alot of time showing the place and of course he is single guy and a slob so it is not showing as well as it should. A few cocktail tomorrow with my cuz and then a road trip is exactly what I need. Just got FI's suit back from a friend who hemmed it and shortened the arms on the jacket and it is perfect!!! All for free too! She is working on my dress this weekend and I am going to have to come up with something nice to give her for doing this for me. Hey maybe some of the gifts I was going to give my sister for being a bridesmaid lol Just a thought!!!!

I used the rack cards and just got a 2inch hole punch. What kind of challenge are you doing, that sounds like a fun idea! Don't feel bad, I have made 6orders! lol

I feel the same way. My cousin and one of my aunts has also helped my tremendously. I don't have a relationship with my mother so my aunt is kind of the fill in!

Oooh close to me, I live in Brampton and FI's parents are in Maple!

Hey ladies I have been so busy with family drama on the weekend and work that I haven't been able to write much but I will try to comment on what I remember. Meggers- I love those clutches and they are my colors too! Thanks Mocha, Sisters are our source or drama for sure but after the way she treated me the last 8mths and with using the words "I don't want to feel like a phony standing up there" was enough for me! then she says to my other sister it's going to be weird seeing you too walk down the aisle! Too bad so sad! I can relate greysgirl, sisters can be so sellfish sometimes! Brandy- Glad to hear the dress fits much better, can't wait to see pics. Teira-The iron on's look great! Kitty-so many things in the last few days and they are look fabulous! Laura-Congrats on getting those luggage tags done finally! Isn't the color perfect on those lanyards , I love them! Can't wait to see your AHR creation cause I can barely sew lol Erin-Ohhhh I would have been HOT mad too! My only vent from yesterday was that I gave FI the job of putting the rose petals in the organza bags and he started doing them so of course I was helping but he was soooo freaking slow that I did most of them lol I guess they are right when they say if you want something done right do it yourself, but I try not to be too critical cause I want help to help me with other stuff and you know how men can be babies when they feel you don't think they are your hero!!! lol

Jess- the videographers name is Oscan Nunez. Here is a video he has done Oscarvideo | Video - Fotografia - Cancun - Riviera Maya If you are just having him for the ceremony part which is included in the package you probably don't need to meet with him but if you purchased extra hours and want certain things caught at certain times then I would have a meeting. I have a meeting set up with him for the first day i arrive which was coordinated by Pilar. I have also exchanged emails with him to outline my timeline. I am also contemplating having a private bar because I dont want any service wait time on drinks. Good luck and I am 60 days out so. We leave in exactly two months April 23rd. I guess you will be there the week before me.
