I am also selling my first dress, is a Madeline Gardner size 8 unaltered, still at the Bridal Store at McAllen, TX. I am willing to pick up and ship it personally if somebody is interested. I paid 1300 USD for the dress and I can hear offers. Here are the pics from the model: And here is on me ( size 6) but I ordered a size 8 because the lady at the bridal salon recommend it in case it needed to be altered.

We just booked our last night in Europe at Le Meridien in Paris, we got a pretty good deal but still need to book 2 nights at Paris and 3 nights in Rome...

So... Jaq where are the pics!!!! LOL

Congrats, thank you for sharing and everything looked wonderful.. BTW I loved your idea of jumping all together on the pool!!!

At least I plan to use them for 12 hours!!! Regarding Height: Olivia has covered platform sole with a peep toe and a 4 3/4 inch heel and 1 inch covered platform and Valentine is 4 inch including platform. Since I live in Mexico I will order online , risky I know, but that is the only way to go , maybe order the one that wins and if those not work I can return and order the 2nd choice!

Thank you for all your comments, yes is it very hard to decide!!! LOL and as some of you mention probably I will end being a 2 shoe bride too!! LOL Carly thank you for the poll!!!

WOW , what a great gift those flutes are incredible and also what an AWESOME MOH!!!

I am totally with you, we are inviting more than 220 ppl but doing only bag per room too, so at least we plan to have 60 OOT bags!!! I I got my ibuprofen and antacid by medifirst at Amazon and those prices were awesome!!! Here is the link Amazon.com: Health & Personal Care - medifirst Then found a site where the bulk alka-seltzer (50pk) is like 15 USD or so...I have the price list at my office email but I will post it tomorrow, anyway here is the site and Rob the manager is a very nice and helpful person, they also have a ziploc bags at 40 cents with bandage, alcohol pad and ointment and he took a picture of this for me, I will make sure I post this tomorrow too. Pro Scribe Distributors - Lowest Prices on Single Dose Trial SizeOTC Medicineson the Net! I am only doing a bag, with 2 mugs/cups and 1 hangover kit on it per couple... because my guest are from Mexico and most guests are only staying for the weekend so no need to spend too much on the bags.

Love them!!!!

I was decided to use color shoes, because I love how them look in pics but never found any that I loved, only ones at UK and very expensive so I decided to find a pair in ivory and I narrowed to 2 options and I want your advice. Also posting the pic of my 2nd dress ( LOL yes I am 2 dress bride) so you can let me know which ones do you think are better.... So here is my dress ( Pronovias Diadema) And here are the 2 options for shoes I like Olivia by Martinez Valero Valentine by Grazia thank you girls!

Nop, never heard of him before that I remember PS. In case you dont sign a contract with them I have info from 2 DJ's from Guadalajara that are very reliable and really good if you are interested. I am still debating which one between them... LOL

IHe is now in peace and from where he is now he is sending you both his blessings, on your wedding day he will be in spirit and he wouldnt let you cancel for sure, so keep going, You can do something special to remember him on your wedding day. A big hug for you and I'll keep you in my prayers. Let us know how we can help.

I love this idea of adding singles of gatorade or propel, but I found a 144 pk singles but is $174!! and the 8 pks are $5.75, so I think I am going to drop it , anyway what hangover can not be cured with a Clamato with Beer? LOL

Here are some of my suggestions for Paris / Rome: Last time I was in Paris, we stayed here: Hotel Valadon Paris - between rue cler market and eiffel tower ! It was charming, relatively inexpensive, and close to the Rue Cler, which is a cute little shopping street with little bistros, fruit stands, it is close to the Invalides, Eiffel Tower, walking distance to a lot of great stuff. In the 7th Arr. It's not five-star, but it's no-frills and charming. Another cute location is Montmartre by the Sacre Coeur, fantastic views and windy, hilly streets. I have stayed there, but have forgotten the hotel. If you don't stay here, try go at sunset for an amazing romantic view of the city. I didn't like where we stayed in Rome the last time we were there, next time I would like to stay in Travestere, which is across the river and away from everything, but it's romantic and quiet. But if you want to stay in the midst of it all, I think the Piazza Navona area is central to everything, but you pretty much walk everywhere. The metro in Rome is not nearly as comprehensive as it is in Paris, but with so much to look at, who cares if you have to walk? Go on tripadvisor.com to check out ratings, that is my bible when I'm planning a trip! Have fun, and if you have room in your suitcase, let me know if I can sneak in! hahaha PS. Don't lose track of your wallet or purse in either of these cities. I have personally seen a mugging in Paris (at dusk), and someone try to pickpocket someone in Rome (in broad daylight -- it was a kid). Not to scare you b/c these places are perfectly safe, but just be aware of your surroundings and your belongings. Thank you for all your suggestions, I have reviewed the Valadon, was worried about being only 2* but looking your comments and also Janet's I think is one good choice on the list now....

I was going to do a day in London, 1 in Paris, then head to Greece (Athens, Santorini and Mykonos) and then to Italy (Rome & Vatican City, Milan, Venice, Pompeii). Oh Crystal that is sad, but you will do it very soon, you will see!!!!
