jean-marcus

you and me both... those are all GREAT

man i wish seattle had a subway. those are always such cool pictures every time i see some

adorable. i just love proposal stories. hopefully i have the chance to post mine soon

welcome and get ready for an insane amount of great ideas coming your way

greetings greetings greetings.. welcome (even though you have been on here for a while now) have fun finally getting serious with your wedding

man those resorts will find any way to scam couples out of money and throw in additinal charges. if there is one thing ive learned on here from everyones stories is to get everything in writing

GO BLUE GO BLUE GO BLUE... no im not cheering on michigan state.. hahaha those blue butterflies look so cute. do them for sure

from the weddings i photograph seems its about 50/50. there are pros and cons to both. some fake flowers can look so suprisingly real. then they can also look amazingly fake. so if you find the right one it can save a lot of hassle with it not wilting or falling out or petals falling off.

so if you were hesitant did he turn around and show you the backside? congratulations

Big Welcome to you.... the phillipines has some gorgeous beaches. have a wonderful wedding

I honestly don't even know where to find polaroid film anymore. And I'm a photographer. Its so hard to find and if you find it most likely its been sitting in a warehouse forever. I would go with the instamax camera. Another option is Amazon.com: Epson PictureMate Dash PM260 Compact Photo Inkjet Printer (C11C694201): Electronics it's only $100 and you can just print there on the spot if you have an outlet.

I think it's awesome that you have a flexible schedule where you can do something like that, and just pack up and go! If you were stuck with a 9-5 job, it might be difficult to make this work And I have no doubt that you will win the family over - judging by previous posts it sounds like her mom already likes you And for the record, similar to others, I also just about peed my pants watching the youtube video, lmao!! How can you not fall in love with a guy that can make you laugh like that?!? Thank God we both have flexible schedules. She doesn't have a 9-5 either so its perfect for us. And thank God for the interenet and free long distance and text messaging and skype and everythign else that makes it easy for us to grow closer while being apart. And as for the laughing stuff, that is why we have always been so close because we just get each others humor. whatver the other says we think its the funniest thing in the world Quote: Originally Posted by roo66 Jm i really dont want to miss one moment of the reunion so pleeeeeeeeessse add me to FB.Gotta say i gasped when i got to the post that shed gone home.Her family are gunna love you and just think of all the hand knits your gunna get for christmas.wink wink x if you added me on FB ill approve it make sure you let me know you're from BDW Quote: Originally Posted by ~Debra~ Ok so I just saw the youtube video and WOWWWWW.
