Welcome Claudia! Tell us more about what you dream about for your wedding and we might be able to help narrow down a place...

Welcome!!!

YAY!!!!!! congrats!!!!!

Interesting thread Alyssa, thanks for starting it.

So far we aren't really affected, but I do think about it a lot and we try to cut spending where we can (but we live fairly frugally). Husband works in politics -- and it's an election year so his job is safe. I work in a nonprofit that isn't going anywhere. And we don't drive often enough to feel the gas crunch.

I do feel like we should we saving more, spending less, just in case, ya know?

Oh, and we are trying to refi our house even though it's only been 6 months cause rates are down quite a bit.

HOT!! you have so many great ones to choose from -- i love them

omg it look s SO GREAT! he is going to fall over -- I love it!

holy crazy...I would be panicking. Once you find a new location, hopefully most of that work can transfer over....OMG though...good luck!

okay mine's up! I was going to put pics of the daffodils in our front yard but I like having an excuse to look at wedding pics again!

Dreams is gorgeous, you will love it! And there are a ton of Dreams brides on this site who can help you...

welcome to the forum!

Oh this definitely is a topic on my brain because we are going to the in-laws house this weekend. But I am the dummy who made it an issue!

See...I had a little too much to drink at my wedding, and APPARENTLY went up to my in-laws and was like, OMG can I call you mom and dad now? (You know, I was a very happy drunk that night). So now I kinda HAVE to call them that, right? But it's been 1.5 yrs and it still feels WEIRD. Not bad weird, just weird. How embarrassing. I hope that one day in like 5 yrs it's not weird anymore and I just call them mom and dad without blinking an eye. What's the big deal, right?

great post idea, Ann! We also kinda accidentally got a Wii last week too! A friend picked one up at Target just to resell but offered it to us first. So far we have only played sports and we got Guitar Hero 3. I want to get the Mario one, but now I am all confused because how many are there? I am so bad I want something simple...

I agree that you should have your own agent who represents YOUR interests. Think about it -- the higher the sales price, the more money the selling agent makes. So it is in HER interest to have a high sales price. How does that help you?

If you call Jcrew they will send you fabric samples for free!

Looks so great! I can't wait to see your wedding pics -- of course I love all weddings at the Cabo Surf. Your colors are fabulous

Ditto -- we love you Christa!

I carried mine right onto the plane, hung it up in the front, and kept it hung up at the hotel and it was just fine (had it pressed before we left) -- the only thing is you get a lot of attention for carrying around a huge white dress

They look fabulous! I would feel so special to get something like this in the mail

Congrats!!!! You must be drinking the BDW water (I am just drinking the BDW booze though)

I'm not an expert, but I think that paying ALL of your bills on time, every months, for years on end, will have more of an effect on your credit score than if you have 40K available credit versus $50K. Why not pare down to about half as many cards, and you'll still have plenty of long-standing relationship ones for your credit score. I know I might be going against the grain, but I just don't think it will make or break your credit worthiness in the future.
