Girl! I won't even go there. When I met the FI 2 1/2 yrs ago I was working out 6 days a week. Now I'm cooking 6 days a week and licking the spoon and bottom of the plate clean. He's slim, has a soccer physique I guess. I have to work suuuuuuuper hard to stay at a decent weight. Every 5 pounds I gain he's like " babe I swear I'm gonna get super supportive" as he is spooning cereal into his mouth at midnight. I know I know, he didn't make me gain weight I did it myself , but when I was single I didn't cook much. Made some boring chix and broccoli or had a lean cuisine standing at my counter. I love to cook and NOW I have an audience. We are Caribbean so rice, rice, rice. Started spinning again, slowly but surely. My arse is on fire tho. Lolol

Lmao And how many did you invite? We need to invite about 100 . Hoping for 10. Hahahaha

Yeah , since our wedding is actually at a restaurant off- property we would be paying for the local bakery. So I guess I'll see if I can take the pieces down and ill pay them to decorate it. I haven't even wanted to think of my dress. :confused: I've gained weight recently and I just don't wanna go there. :mad: I'd like to squeeze lipo into my budget.

Found this Quote. Thought it was purrrrrfect . Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -

Your getting married on my Birthday. Whoop whoop

Forgot the darn link http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/wedding/Wfakecakes.htm#misc

So in my madness to save money I've thought of all the things I don't really care about and I've decided to have a faux cake. It's pretty cool. You buy these styrofoam pieces and the bakery decorates that. I plan on having desserts, and cupcakes/ sweets table. It's cheaper than paying 4-6 bucks a person. Lol. Don't judge me. Ill spend my money elsewhere .

Funny I ran into that last night as well. How did people plan weddings before the net? Lol

Found this site . Has some cool stuff. http://www.packageperfect.net/c-230-fall-wedding-theme.aspx?pagesize=0&pagenum=4

If you haven't done so already I'd suggest joining the FB page J.fish brides. It's helpful and Mayte occasionally goes on to send messages.

Jali How many people are you expecting again?

Haha. Throw one hot grits on em

Just lol'd

Ohhhh, so you actually printed on Orange cards? I thought it was card stock that you folded, Cool Thanks

Ok ladies. I'm heading out. Might stop at a Dollar store or two out there. What color tumblers are u guys looking for? I might have to download this site to my phone. Probably not a good idea

Hi ladies, I'm new to this particular Forum. I looked it up though because I'm having the same problem. I can't believe from reading in here how many OF THE MEN are the ones opposed to getting married at home first. I thought it was just mine having chic tendencies. Lol! He too said, I don't want to have two anniversaries and get married twice. Meanwhile I'm just all over the practicality of it! Plus , in many psychological ways I think it will take the edge off for me , knowing its only symbolic in DR and that its already said and done I'm having stage fright nightmares . Lol So , I have a year to convince him this is the way to go ... :eek::eek:

I can't make them tan and lose 20 pounds. That's no fun! Lol

You guys will now get a break from all my random postings. Lmao

Awesome job!!! My colors too. Will have to look into this. Was there alot of waste? I have to make about 60 of them , will I die? Lol. How much would you say it cost p/ invite. I wa Thanks for sharing!

congrats! I'd say yes, depending on what you want and whats in that budget. Mayte at Jellyfish works with you and your price range. I'd sy for such a small group you should consider ordering right off the menu. Ill be the first to tell you, email both places NOW and see hat dates they have available. Or better yet, send them a few choice dates and they'll tell you what they have available. It books up quick. Give them at least a week or so to respond. ( I know, crazy) but they are super busy and the farther out you are they kinda backburner you . Yet, no brides complain of the final outcome.

Waiting???

Ladies!!! This is it!!!!!!! Next post is 150 wooooop whooop. I swear some male trippers better jump out of my pc for all the hype and anticipation. I'm expecting after my next post for the skies to open and BDW site to have planned my whole wedding. Lol.

Will do! I'm driving to Amelia Island tomorrow by Jacksonville so will be near GA but not quite ATL.

She sounds like a PIDA. I'd like 18 months to lose more weight but hell I'm the bride. Lol One of these days ill vent about my Bridesmaids ( or lack thereof) it's very woe is me. I can't get thru it without tearing up, and trust me that doesn't happen easily. The Only person I have confirmed as if now is my Step sister. 10 years ago I NEVER would ave imagined shed be my MOH. Life is funny that way. She too can be very difficult, has very uppity taste but hey she can afford it. I'm giving her free reign I think on what she wants to wear. She'd probably have it made or something. I don't care though, cuz at this point she's the only one of my " friends" who's been super supportive thru my relationship and now my engagement. :mad:

I'm going to pick up a Boston layover one of these days , so we can have drinks. I was there last week. Had a great time at the Commons park. Some big festival and Shakespeare in the park. :0)
