LOL!!

Beautiful!!! Love Maggie dresses! Looks perfect & light!

Great, thanks! I cant wait to see them. As of now, this is my dress choice for my girls! Now I just have to ask them...1 down, 2 to go...

Yay! Congratulations!

awww this is so sweet!

Thanks so much! I will not waste the money on buying them then! Thats a good idea about picking your own food, maybe something I will see if we can do as well.

Wow 4 1/2 inches is awesome!!!!!!

Congrats & happy planning!!

Glad to see this thread has picked back up! I just finished week 2 of P90x today & I feel great! I can already tell that my pants feel slightly looser! I am only looking to really tone up & to lose maybe 5-8 pounds but its extremely hard! The weekends are what do it for me, I am a drinker(now only on weekends) so I have to kill myself during the week to be able to have a few on the weekends. I try to give myself at least 1 cheat day of eating but dont get too crazy. Shan0487 - Just get a Jillian workout in before the bachelorette party & maybe try to do any extra cardio, even for a half hour! Then it should even out, right! Denielle & coconoir1908 - I have heard great things about weight watchers! Good luck to you both! My girl friend lost 40 pounds on it!! ssapper - I would give Insanity a try. It will definitely help your cardio endurance for your marathon. Its a very intense cardio program that lasts for 2 months. the 1st month is 30-35 mins workouts then a recovery week then the 2nd month workouts are an hour. Its tough but really has helped me with running. Just gotta make sure you are eating enough calories. perry1217 - I just downloaded the app!! My name is midgiehp. Guess I gotta set it up now & figure out how to work this!

Sorry you are going through this. Unfortunately, I am not getting married there but maybe you can speak to a manager there? Ask about the quotes & that you can show them the copies of the emails that were quoted to you originally. If they wont budge maybe try to work out a deal if its not the original amount quoted? Have you checked their website to see if any pricing is listed on there? Sorry, I cant be much help as I am sure you are super stresses about this. Good luck to you.

This is great, thanks for posting! I made a shame full list in excel lol! This is much better! Wedding To Do.docx

Yes! I felt the same way. I just got my mojo back(sort of) I think my lack of planning is due to the fact that I have no real head count & didn't want to start anything until I have one. Also, I had over a year to go. Once the 11 month mark came(3 weeks ago) I thought wow that last month flew by and now that I think about it, it will be 10 months in just over a week! But really the only thing I did in that time frame is buy a dress, make luggage & maraca tags! Lol! Not much and no where near as much as many of our fellow brides have done. I feel they put me to shame!! I also hate DIY projects as I am not crafty so this is another reason I feel that makes me not motivated to do anything. Dont worry, I think many of us are with you or have been there. I feel that it comes in spurts & waves with me. Some days I am ready to start purchasing some items(havent!) then I feel eh, I got time... This site has also helped me with all the pics posted. I went to a vista print thread(since VP is so overwhelming to me) on here that had tons of pics of what people did & honestly that is what motivated me to do the maraca tags. But I also feel like sometimes I need a break from "wedding" since I am on here everyday!!!! My obsession!! You will get it back! Dont worry!! And your day is May 20th! So you are 11 months, which will fly by!

They really did an awesome job with your cake, it looks great!

Congratulations!!! This site can definitely be a little overwhelming at times. So many great ideas & info on here. Happy planning!!! @beachbum21 - Congrats!! When do you plan on sending invites? Lucky you already have people booking lol! This is the hard part for me!

I also heard from Ileana. I wanted to put a deposit for the DJ & guitarist but they said you pay when you get there & they will schedule them. I did receive the dinner & cocktail hour menus since I had questioned about it. A final headcount is due 1 month prior. If you would like to see let me know. I have not received a center piece list or packet either but I think its too early since everything is pretty much planned a month before hand. Its so hard to be laid back when we are trying to just get everything done with now lol but I have no doubt they will do an amazing job! @aeluzu - thanks! I guess we will receive this in a few months! I wanted to ask you how the weather was at night? I was debating on getting pashminas for the ladies but was thinking they wont need them if its hot & humid. Do you think they would be a waste?

Congratulations!!!

Everything looks beautiful! Congrats! Love the bags, where did you get them?

I like the 2nd dress. I think it will be cooler since its shorter but both are pretty!

They look so pretty! Cant wait to see what you do with the DW invites!

Glad to hear you had your dream wedding!!! Congrats, your pics are great!

I say you can stand on whatever side you want. After all we picked to have a DW so there is nothing traditional about it!! Go for it! I think thats the best part about a DW, you can choose to do what you want!

They look great!! Nice job for your 1st project!!! Very impressive!

LOL same here! I get married on May 3 a Thursday and plan on staying till Tuesday, total of 10 days. How about you? bruceg05 - congrats! Memorial day bride sounds fun!!!

So glad you were able to get the event terrace for the reception!!! I am still waiting to hear back from someone...almost a week!

What a great idea! I am sure your guests will love that!
