I was quoted $15 for the "sand box"...that they said is exactly the same size as this pic (which is what I am going to be doing for my place cards) - although I will open my umbrellas!

*****I was talking about on the pants...

Looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you get the lining? Are people ordering the satin lining???? Does it defeat the purpose of linen, ya know, being a cooler fabric???

Thanks Miriam... It def. feels good to have some things knocked off....on my way to hot yoga, and then my mom is coming over to help pack up the wedding week survival kits to see what is missing. (and what we have space for!!!) I found the emergen-C...thanks. I can't wait to try on the dress again and cross fingers it fits (ordered a size smaller)...but have just over 2 months to go and plan on losing more. When was your final fitting? Do some have it super close to departure date??? SQuote: Originally Posted by murmel You must be so excited about the dress!

(oh and clip in extensions) ALSO...my boudoir photographer just bailed on me, so am crossing fingers for another T.O. photographer that looks great to get back to me soon with a "for sure, we have space"!!!!! WHEW....OH, and I FINALLY decided on my menu/flowers/decor for ceremony...... NOW...just need to get through this weekend (its Chris' bachelor party...he was recently diagnosed with epilepsy and had a seisure in front of me- not good, trust me- and it was due to lack of sleep and withdrawl from alcohol, so I am having a mini nervous breakdown about him getting fed too many drinks!!! - so my lovely girls are taking me away for a girls night at the cottage so I don't freak out alone) Just a week or so until our 2 month count down...I am feeling pretty good! THANK YOU TO ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL HELP SO FAR!!!!

Wow..that sounds like so much fun!!!! and WOW...25 days left!!!! The count down is SERIOUSLY on!!! Sounds like you know what your doing for your OOT bags already anyway, so shouldn't be too overwhelming!!! Keep us updated on everything....hope all is going super smooth so far...

OK ladies...feelin' good....down 5.5 inches and another 2.5 pounds! That is 22.5 since January....its coming off SUPER SLLLLOOOOWWW...but its coming off, thats the main thing!

WICKED...now I can order!!!! Thanks a bunch! Asian ideas, here I come! Hello there...WELCOME! Trust me, you are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE this site! Its the best, forget the Miami WC. lol Congrats on your upcoming wedding...Happy Planning!

Murmel.... what size of lanterns did you order? I am on asian ideas and there are like 10 different sizes!!!! I love your set up, and would like similar sizes xo

WOooooohooooo, you have to let me know how it goes! Good job, I bet your feel awesome!!!!! We were at dinner last night and FI was pointing out the definition in my shoulders he can see now! It is super motiviation, so is fitting into clothes I haven't been able to wear for over 1.5 years. (and this is just the beginning!!) Happy Boud. shoot shopping! I am in Toronto, so am going with Erin Blackwood, she is unreal (with renaissance photography)...I hunted her down, love her stuff!

I am better today...lol Maybe I am calling it something different (is it place cards?) I am going to have a little sand box with mini umbrellas with peoples names on it and table number, but obviously someone will have to walk our guests by whereever they are placed first, so people will know where they are sitting....just want to make sure that our guests aren't going from table to table looking for their name card, when the umbrella's will tell them where to go........ re: menu....I think we are going to go with the pick and choose menu, as we liked the sound of the food...your right, when narrowing, and we want plated service, it gives us the set menu and pick and choose....so I think we got it!!!!! Thanks again!

CAKE: what did our past lovely ladies do? or soon to be's doing? I am NOT spending over $500 on a cake no one will eat..........I have approx. 50 coming, would a cake for 10-20 do? or go for the 20-30 people cake?

Miriam....can you tell me why you didn't go with the pick and choose menu? I am just wondering what the benefit is .... was it just choice of menu? This friggin' menu crap is stressing me out....erghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thanks!! I am being extra strict from here on out....less than 2 months to go and Boud. pics coming up, I really want to start seeing results....so have stepped up my game....am doing Moksha Yoga, Running, interval/circuit training, Bootcamp at work and having FI (hes a trainer), train me on Sundays. I am also at a Naturopathic Dr. right now, and they have me speaking w a nutrionist every 2 weeks...they think my 5 pounds in 1.5 months is good (I however, am not so convinced). Hopefully my super hard work this week pays off and I see some results....

Jessie, I am going to purchase Justiner57's off of her if I like the look when she posts up her pics....(I am sure I will)....so I land on the Thursday...you can just use them on the Saturday and then me on the Monday if you like? Mel

Did my answer not go through? hmmmmmmmm..... Anyway, that would be amazing!!! Thank you very much, I can't wait to see pics and see how they turned out.

Will someone walk them past the two tables by the walkway? I am having place cards, does the wedding party make sure that everyone gets theirs? Who "moves" the guests from your cocktail hour to your reception? and again, do they pass the tables? THanks for the diagram, helps!!!! I'm really sorry to hear this, I hope that it gets resolved soon and you can continue to be Mr. and Mrs. at home too! Zavas.docx

I am fighting for each pound loss these days...its been really difficult for me, even with cutting out so much from my diet and stepping up my exercise I do feel better, just wish it would disappear faster.

Awesome....sounds like everything is coming together!!! The parties sound like they are going to be ones to remember! Let the 30 day countdown commence! OK....I am going to do the same...will tell her whats happening and thats that, right? I guess I should order them soon....how many should I order? Your the best....thanks so much for all your help!

That sounds awesome!!!!!! Yes please! Thank you so much, can't wait to see pics...yours is just around the corner!!!!

Thank you...I just emailed her, hopefully she knows what it is!
