No idea, sorry. I guess ordering online at this point is out of the question or cost prohibitive?

That's where I noticed it first last time, so now I'm worrying that I'm gonna gain weight again and that my dress won't fit! I *am* much more happy this year with my FI than before I met him, and he looooves to eat, so that could explain this new weight gain... as long as I don't gain more than 5 pounds I should be ok...

And you're so nice, saying you'll come back to cheer me up.

I guess the grass is always greener on the other side: you wish you had more time to prepare, I think I have wayyy too much time. LOL

Well, a few months to the wedding you'll probably lose some pounds because of the stress, no so worry! And with your dress, if you get the weight in the thighs, it shouldn't be a problem.

I wanted to go shopping in Chinatown for some parasols, guess that is out of the question. :-(

Haha, I guess you're right.

Tonight I'm the one needing French help. When we return, I want to send out a nice picture of us, with a very simple announcement wording, just so everyone knows "the news". Now I'd love to do "Julie & FranÃ§ois, Just Married, April 7th 2010, Negril, Jamaica", but there is no French equivalent that I know of (and all our family & friends are francophones). I'm thinking maybe:

- J&F, MariÃ©s le 7 avril 2010, NÃ©gril, JamaÃ¯que

- J&F, Unis le 7 avril 2010 sur la plage en JamaÃ¯que (now the picture will show us on the beach, maybe too much?)

Any other idea along those lines? Would you prefer "MariÃ©s ou Unis"? Or maybe just our names & date: "J&F, 7 avril 2010, JamaÃ¯que"? My boyfriend is of no help at all, this announcement is strictly my idea, and "Anything sounds good my love"...

hey guys!! I'm so sorry I've been missing in action, been so busy then had my bachelorette party(I knew you new that ewok since your finally on April 2010 brides), and now my endo period!! lol

which btw i am so happy to have a MTL bride on that thread, a lot of them are in Calgary and they've become friends, almost feel out of the loop lol!!! (j/k.. just glad to have you there in our crazy chats)

I still have to catch up on everything, but don't worry for you girls who getting married next year, I'm not going anywhere.. I love this site way to much!! lol.

Again, wish I could help with the french!!

RonNMel · March 12, 2010

Carribean Lover, would love to hear about your bachelorette party. :-) How was it? What did you do? Where did you go?

Yeah, Saying "sur la plage" might be too much if you have a picture of the beach.

As for my news, our invitations are almost done! The letter part (which looks more like a brochure now) is done and we are just waiting on the Boarding Pass (sort of a STD). So excited! And kind of impatient... His cousin must hate me by now! (J/K) LOL

ewok · March 12, 2010

Hum, I really like the sound of "Nouvellement MariÃ©s". It's a tad long, but still manageable. Or I might only put our names and dates... This stuff is so hard!

And why would your FH cousin hate you? Is he a big part of the planning process?

RonNMel · March 12, 2010

SHE is doing our invitations for free on her own time. I know I've been a tad pushy about getting them ASAP. I didn't really mean hate me, I was just kidding/exagerating. Though she probably is slightly annoyed by now. LOL It's all good though, she has done an amazing job so far and we will for sure give her a gift to show our appreciation. :-)

SHE!!! Darn that English language and its lack of subtlety on gender!! (And my own obtuseness...) I was wondering how much a (HE) cousin could take part in a wedding planning, considering my own DBF is not doing anything for his own... That's cool of her to make your invites, I guess that's the price you're paying, the horrible wait! :lol:
