I was at J Crew tonight - which by the way they have some MAJORLY cute stuff. I could have spent LOTS! Anyway, I bought a dress that was cheaper on line than in the store. This lead us to talking about the price, obviously. She tells me that I can get an extra 20% off by making the sale final! What?! I never knew that! I guess any sale item, can receive an additional 20% off, if you make the sale final. Is this common knowledge? If so, how the hell did I not know this!

I fully intend to trop around in the grass, sand, rocks, ocean with my dress! I don't mind getting it dirty that way. However, if someone spilled a drink on my dress, I would smile on the outside, but be FUMING on the inside! Also, I was thinking about this the other day, for some reason I'm really attached to my veil.... and was thinking about not using it for out TTD because I didn't want it to get ruined. FI was like "who cares! that was the cheap part, wear it!"

I'm using this same dress, only in Berry. We weren't going to do a sash, but now that I see how nice a sash looks I think I'll have to find one!!

Danielle - I did my welcome packets at Vistaprint.com. and did brochures. They came out really nice and they were FREE! All I had to pay was shipping and for an upload of a map I included. They are professionally done and are folded just waiting to be put in an OOT bag! They came pretty quick too! We will be there until the 8th or 9th, I can't remember exactly. We should definitely meet up!!! That would be so fun! On a vista print note, I did our STDs through them and was really happy with them.

oh good to know!

Good news for us Wedding Photographers. =) MUCH better news for those who have been waiting and waiting to marry the person they love.

When we first combined $ we definitely fought about that! I was always a free spender, and he was a big budgeter. We've since come to a common ground... but it wasn't without some arguements! Our biggest thing now, is cleaning! I am not a neatfreak, but I go crazy with clutter. I hate walking in the door from a long day or work and seeing things so unorganized! FI has selective eyesight. He didn't see his jeans on the end table for 2 weeks!!! I'm tired of picking up after him, so now we're working on him being more observant, and me not being such a nag!

I swear it's kinda backwards with wedding dresses. The really pretty ones hanging up, are not cute on. And the so so/ify ones hanging up, are the ones that end up beautiful on. Bizzare.

can you order the dress in extra length and have your alterations person add the pick ups?

ah my work computer is too slow! can't wait to see them when I get home!

OMG i don't think I could stand the not knowing! I'd be going crazy!! I hope they pick you!!!

Picture, pictures, pictures!!!!!

Congrats!! Noah is the cutest name!

Nice job! THey look great!

cute cake! And I love your dress!

good luck with the social worker. I still can't believe your sister. I didn't know you could get a day pass at Sams! I'll definitely be heading there this weekend! Has anyone started a count down to your wedding? I feel like it's too far out, but I've been saying that since day 1!!! And now here, we are, over a year after we became engaged and the time flew!! I know the next 4 months will fly too. So I wonder if an offical count down might keep me in check. I know glancing at my ticker always shocks me lately!

First of CONGRATS on losing 60lbs. That is so amazing! I agree with what everyone else said. A glowing bride is a glowing bride, and that is what people are going to notice. Everyone finds dresses that look like crap on. You just need to try on a bunch and find which aspects of certain dresses you like, so you can narrow it down to find the dress that fits you best. Also, once you get into these dresses I think you'll be shocked to see yourself as a bride... something about the wedding dress makes it all a little more real, and your arms will be a distant memory. Good luck shopping! Keep us updated!

what a great thing she is doing!

I talked with my mom about this last night and she was like "you're over thinking it!!! Most weddings don't even give presents, so people are going to be blown away that you are giving them something in the first place" She also said that it's definitely more about the thought and the welcome letter than it is the gift itself.

I can't wait to hear what they have to say today!!!!!

I'm going to try the oatmeal bath tonight. It's not going away!!!

I'm not entirely sure where it will go yet. I just measued out 5 inches and thats a pretty big hair flower! I might just order a few and see what happens. These are really cheap - 8/each.

Has anyone ever used Vendo Direct? We want to order these cups (they have these cups at the bar we met at, and we wanted to incorporate that fun fact into the wedding!) Custom Color Changing Mood Stadium Cups This is the most cost effective place I've found to order them. Anyone used them or know anyone who has?
