It should usually read both parents but my father passed away and his father is a useless drunk.....so we only listed our mothers. I haven't decided if I want to reword that page or not [/quote Hey girl: They look lovely! I can see what she means though. It's a little confusing the way it's written. I think instead of your moms names there it has to be you and your FI. Or Mrs & mrs so and so would like to request your presence at the wedding of ...

Buenos Dias So in case some of you were not aware. You can go on to American Airlines website and contact their group rates department for a 5% discount for your guests. It will actually say weddings . You fill out the form with all your info and after a coiple of days they send you a agreement. Your not legally bound to anything but the cool thing is after about 10 ppl book you can get a free ticket for yourself . They also send you inserts to put in your invitations with the discount code. Thought I'd share

Night night ladies. I have a long cr ride in 4 hours. So I'll be busy on here posting stuff

after all this shit... I may not even do a welcome letter, after buying all this if your ass don't know you're welcome by then, oh freakin well. lol

Nice!!   What stores did you find all that at?

[spoiler=Warning: Spoiler!]

I was still trying to find fancy smileys. Don't know what the heck this spoiler alert is. Lol

[spoiler=Warning: Spoiler!]

this is the extent of my smiley face

Yippee : Ordered my STD yesterday . Shutterfly already shipped them today. Just got the email. Holy crap, I'm getting married!!!!

And I'm finally caught up. Except for one more comment . Holy mother Jesus Rayn , can I have a oot bag too? I wanna sell it to flight attendants in case we are ever stuck on an island. Lolol. J/k

My mom doesn't care, neither does my dad. It's his side! Like they just have to invite everyone to make the numbers even. Sorry, my family is big but not a lot of invites went out to them. I'm not even inviting all of my family from DR!!! LOL my friend did the worst thing possible...decide to have her wedding in Jamaica! and her list is at like 200!!!! No way, I hope everyone says DR in March is too expensive and If I have between 30-50, honestly I will be happy!

I think the parents traditionally host an engagement party, not the couple themselves.  I think it doesn't happen anymore because parents are already paying for the wedding, if that.  In that case anyone can host the party so your thought of responding "when are you hosting one?" is right on!  Like most of us you aren't bothered if you don't have one so if no one hosts, it doesn't happen.  Just like you wouldn't host your own wedding shower.

I just had a 5 hour energy so forgive my run on sentences. I'm thinking faster than I can write

Speaking of engagement parties. I have a ???????? Is everyone having one or has had one already? Everyone keeps asking me. When's the engagement party ? and I keep thinking when the hell are you throwing me one. WTH? Did everyone pay for their own engagement party on top of the wedding? It seems one of my already married with 10 kids that I have to buy gifts for every Xmas and birthday should be volunteering. Heheheheh. Or am I off here? Who generally hosts this shindig ?

Rayn Every time u write definitely autocorrect writes it as Defiantly . Which I love because hell , I'm defiant as hell. Hahahaha

Totally feel you Hi....my name is Cindy and I might be a alcoholic.....I deal with stupid ppl in healthcare and Doctors who think they are gods and a bunch of whiney old hags in the dept as well as future inlaws from HELL. I love big glasses of wine, usually I forgo the glass and just use the bottle....and pitchers of Sangria....

Girls always get the short end of the stick in that department! Men seem to keep their bodies easily and lose weight easily while we have to work REALLY hard.  I'm not sure how old you girls are (I'm 31) but around 30 it gets much harder, people say it gets worse at 40, if that's the case I'm very scared! Men don't help the cause either when they want us to cook for them, have dessert, drink beers with them, etc. Starting to spin again is a great start, better than eating bon bons on your couch, but it definitely is a shock to the bum at first.  We'll all support each other to get our best bodies before our big day!

65 invites went out to families. But I doubt "Fulana and her 10 kids are making the trip" LMFAO THAT WAS SO WRONG!
