I can't believe John and I leave on Sunday. This year has flew by...and now it's my turn to post my planning thread! Before I even start, I have to give a shout out to Tammy (host) for being not only an awsome TA, but a good friend that really helped me along the way. Plus, she had to deal w/ our guests...all 80+ of them. So, thanks Tammy for everything you have done for me and for starting this awsome forum for all of us! So first things first...the proposal. It happened in the Marin Headlands on Sept. 11, 2007 where we go hiking a lot.

I love it Shelley. It's so cute!

I guess it's like powder foundation. Quote: Originally Posted by Case*a*licious Where do you get it? Sephora? or do you have to order it online?

What a show stopper!!! You look so gorgeous!!!!

It looks so good on you already! What a perfect dress for a DW!!!

I've totally missed you around the forum... You looked absolutely radiant! Your wedding looked so beautiful. I love SDM. It's the perfect backdrop for a Cabo wedding. Congrats girl!

Here are some pics I took today. It turns out I lost a bit more weight...of course the majority of it was in the boob area , so I dropped it off at the seamstress this afternoon. I won't get it back until Thursday...and I leave on Sunday! The dress is from Casablanca (!804). I saw it on Karla such a long time ago and fell in love with it! So without further ado, here it is. Here's my Jewelry: And my shoes:

Wow, it looks good! I didn't know you're colors are pink and green?!?! I love pink and green too

Yay Erica & Donnie! Happy Wedding Day you two! I can't wait to hear all about it.

Quote: Originally Posted by Christa I'll be interested to hear about the comfort level.

I have a size small in spanx (and I'm not small at all, by any means) and I still have a belly pooch in my wedding dress. But w/ the TC girdle, my belly is pretty much as flat as it's going to get. This is coming form a girl who is thinking of taping her boobs. Needless to say, it won't be a pretty site underneath my dress.

In the begining, I was really good about keeping a spreadsheet of all the items I purchased for the wedding. Needless to say, I got lazy and never kept up with it. So I'm sure I spent way more....but here is the acounting of the big stuff. Here's the damage: Maye Cortinas (bus rental for Pub Crawl, vases, flower arrangemnts for ceremony, sparklers, Trio, Screen/projector, DJ Ricardo, Fun & Motivation rentals, firedancers, etc.) : $4,843.30 Photographer (Juan Carlos Tapia) : $5200 Videographer (Sam Perches) : $1800 AA Flowers : $780.00 Dreams bill (Welcome dinner/ceremony/reception for 87 adults) : $6090 Total: $18,713.30

I love it Tami. Just looking at your pages made me remember when you first posted your wedding photos...I just loved them. You looked so beautiful and your husband looked so handsome in his uniform. Love the quotes BTW.

I just bought some hair extensions too. I got them at a Sally's beauty supply Store. The brand is EuroNext, 14" clip-in 100% Human Hair extensions. It comes w/ 10 peices total and cost $80. I'm really excited to wear them...especially since yours turned out beautiful and natural!

Everything looks so amazing Tara! I love your vibrant colors. Your wedding is going to be so beautiful. Thsi just reminds me to post mine...

Wow,they look great!

This stuff is amazing! I bought this a few weeks ago and have been hooked on it. It's like Bare Minerals, but better. It gives you more coverage and a "glow", plus it has spf properties too just like bare minerals. You just have to dab a little and then spread it around your face w/ a bronzer brush. When I use it, I swear I get so many compliments on my skin.

...in my opinion anyways. I have the SPANX® 'Slim Cognito' Shaping Mid-Thigh Bodysuit - - Nordstrom and was initially planning on wearing it under my wedding dress. I was shopping at Nordstrom the other day in the lingerie dept. and the sales lady turned me on to TC Fine Shapewear No Ride Hi-Waist Thigh Trimmer 449 - TC Fine Shapewear Shapewear. It has way better control than spanx. It really holds you in w/out feeling uncomfortable. All the sales reps agreed that this brand is better than SPANX...in the "control" dept. Needless to say, I bought. The only thing I don't like about it, is that there's no hole in the croth area. I may have to cut a whole down there so I can go to the bathroom easier.

OMG Carly, you did it already! I'm so sorry...I've been so busy that I forget to get you a pic of my cousin's hair. I'm sure you look so cute! I wanna see...
