celina i can't wait to see your dress!

 

so i had my supposed final fitting last night. Only problem was that they didn't do anything about the madonna boobs! So now I go back in 2 weeks for my final fitting, and then go back the next week - 2 days before we depart for mexico - to pick up my dress. I am trying to be OK with this. I am one of those people that shows up to appointments at least 30 minutes early. I do not like being rushed/late. So.... I really hope I can let myself not freakout about my dress, and pray that everything turns out perfectly when I go back in 2 weeks.

 

Oh but on a plus note, I got that pearl necklace and I am in love with it! I wore it to my fitting last night and it is PERFECT with my dress. YEAYYYY!!

Great letter. I also did a packing brochure and called it "Packing for Paradise" Great minds think alike!

Danielle - You look great in your dress. I am so glad to see pics of it. There were a few times that I have had similar thoughts, but then as soon as I try it on or start looking at other dresses, I remember why I love it so much. I got our Hepatitis vaccines the other day, and I gave them to all of us. Yup, that's right....I even poked myself. My Mom is a nurse too and doesn't think she could poke herself. I was pretty impressed with myself, as it didn't hurt at all!!! LMAO!!! Everyone has great welcome letters. I still have to finish our welcome books, but I am waiting for a few more pics, and making sure that there are no more surprise guests coming. I just found out that if my Aunt & Uncles trip to Mexico falls through, they are coming to the wedding.

Dam Erica people keep adding on to your group. I cant believe more people keep coming when you are so close to the date. the more the merrier.

glad you like my dress.

I cant wait to see your TTD. I wasnt going to get a Hepatitis shot because it's not required in the US. Do you think i should?

We were on the phone and I swear, I could hear her shaking her head! LOL! Okay - so I go tomorrow to pick up my dress. I am SO EXCITED!! It will be the first time I've had it on where it actually fits. I am going to try to get some pics with my old camera so FI doesn't see it. If all goes well, I'll be dropping the bag in the mail to Tara. I plan on packing OOT bag stuff this weekend and dying my hair. FI and I went to the video store last night and I rented "Made of Honor" to get me a little in the mood! haha! OKAY - I forgot to tell you, one of my BM's told me that she went to someone's house and they had this basket with towels in it and it had all of these starfish on it. She said they were white but had little rhinestones all over them! Of course I fell in love with the idea so now I think I am going to accessorize all of my baskets for my AHR with these lovely starfish that I can glue little rhinestone thingeys on. Doesn't that sound great??

You should definately do a Wig out party they look like so much fun from other girls pics. How was "Made of Honor"? i have to rent it to get me in the mood too. How exciting your picking up your dress!!! and the basket sounds beautiful perfect for the DW.

Hey ladies!

 

Danielle, you look fabulous! That dress is gorgeous!

 

I am heading off in a few minutes for my first dress fitting. Dont think too much needs to be done.

 

Celina, I love your welcome letter! Love all the colors!! Great job!!

 

I have my shower next sat, Oct 18. Very excited!

 

I dont remember who said it but I agree, it will suck to not be able to send happy wedding day wishes to you all!! But know I will be thinking about you guys!!

[DanielleNDerek]

Thanks Steph. How exciting your getting your fitting today. take pics!!!

[lucy106]

I am back from my fitting. No pics sorry ladies, I was alone and honestly just forgot the camera. Not too much needs to be done. Go to pick it up Oct 25. Woohoo!

[DanielleNDerek]

Little alterations needed means little cost. i go for my last fitting Oct 27th. it doesnt really need anything else done unless i lose a lot-a lot of weight but it's a lace up back so still should be okay.

 

Wooohooo i'm so excited i'm leaving work in a half hour and 2morrow is my bachlorette party. which reminds me i have to make sure i bring my camera with me

I'll tell you how the movie is after we watch it this weekend. It is going to be cold and may snow on Sunday - perfect for veging out and watching videos.

That is awesome! Is yours a lace up back or strapless?

OMG Danielle that is awesome on your Bparty! You better take some pics! At least it wasn't a surprise! I'd hate to have had you running around again all primped up again! LOL!

ERICA - I am excited too to see your TTD dress!

[EricaG]

Danielle - The hepatitis shot isn't required here either, but it is recommended to get both A & B if travelling. The kids are getting Twinrix which is bot stains and Larry and I are just getting the Hep A since we already have the B one done. I would recommend getting it. It is better to be safe than sorry and it is good forever.

Twinrix (A& has 3 shots (first one, 1 month later and 6 months later) and the Havrix (A) has 2 shots (first one & 6 months later)

[EricaG]

So I am sitting at my Mom's right now watching it snow outside and waiting for my Mom to finish some more sewing on my TTD dress. Oops, got to go try it on again!
