Hey girls - I posted a thread in the Shout Out section for Stephanie's legal day today! I don't know how to post links!

OMG that is horrible!

Ilike the crackerjacks with your logo or name on the boxes? Bottled water with your names on the labels...what about for your burgers do the smaller burgers with various toppings. We have done several gourmet burger bars and used the cocktail rolls from Sams Club. Do the same with hot dogs. Use great buns with various toppings. What a fun party!

Your pics are great! You are both so photogenic! Thanks for sharing

Yet another beautiful set of pics! You guys look amazing!!

Okay - I am such a big crybaby! Your pics were beautiful and I am sitting here wiping tears! You guys looked so happy and had a huge audience! It looks perfect! Your bridal party looked amazing! Your flowers were beautiful! Amazing Amanda - thanks for sharing! ~Celina

Are you having an AHR? Maybe you can give them to the GM's then.

Have a wonderful day Glenda!

Happy Legal Day to my date twin Stephanie! Have a wonderful day and know that you are in my thoughts today!! Love ya! Celina

OMG what a disaster! You look absolutely darling Erica!

Isn't it weird that you would butt heads over music? FI's mom called and said that she found a song - it's basically guitar playing by Santana. I think it's kind of dumb, but whatever. Is anyone doing a pre-fitting or pre-look at the BM dresses before the wedding? I want one and my MOH thinks I am dumb for wanting it. Danielle - I did a brochure from Vista Print for my welcome Packet - they came out good and were cheap! Let me know if you need the e-mail for the free stuff. I have a few saved JIC. BTW - "Operation Hottie" ROCKS!!

Amy - how was your party? Erica - let's see that dress! Who else's legal day is on 8/8? Is your's Steph? Erica's is is there anyone else? How was your weekends? Well - FI talked me out of spending $80 on having our ty tags copied at Kinikos - he said people would throw them away anyway, so just use the regular one I have at home. If the ink smears - oh well. We also cleared the air between us. I have been SO Bi**chy with him for two weeks. I have just felt overwhelmed and it was nice to get it off my chest. We sat for an hour last night and talked through a lot of the issues. I am so happy now! So that was my only bridezilla moment for the weekend. OH - and my son got into the little activity kits I was putting together for the little boys during our reception. It was actually a blessing in disguise. They were "Cars" stamp sets with paper and stickers I bought at the dollar store. He got ink ALL OVER his hands and face. Both of his hands are blue! After I found his mess - I asked myself- What are you thinking? Giving little boys blue ink pads to stamp with?? I could just imagine my son running up to me at the reception with blue hands all over my ivory dress! I decided to pre-stamp some papers and give them crayons and stickers instead! We have our "assembly party" this weekend so I have lots to get prepared for and lots to do on Saturday. OH - yeah, FI and I also started our weightloss crackdown today! Chicken, veggies, fruit and water, water, water! We are also going to choose one day to cheat. 97 days and counting!

Welcome back - I hope RIU does something to compensate you both. Keep us posted!

Everything looks beautiful Maura! Have a wonderful wedding!

I LOVE their names! Especially "Marcheline" I almost named my daughter Marcelina. (Was a combo of her biodad and my name)

Jenny, I LOVE those shoes and remember talking about how much we loved them after Mariah got married. Erin posted a ton of links for fuschia shoes maybe you can find something there? If not, just wear what you want. You have great taste and if you can pull it off - wear it! I'm sure whatever you find will be a wonderful surprise with your dress. I SO WISH I could wear heels. Due to a back injury I can't. I'll just live my hot sexy blingey-heel dreams thru you! ~ Sorry if I wasn't much help!

OKAY - You get the official award for cups that rock! THOSE ARE FREAKIN' AWESOME!!

Hi and welcome! I am a PV bride as well - let me know if I can help!

That is freakin' hillarious! One time FI had this guy in his Fantasy Football league who was the biggest jerk. FI was going to place an ad on craigslist with his cell phone as a contact number for someone who dresses up as Santa for holiday parties. It would have been hillarious but he never did it.

We are going to write our own vows. I think I'll be okay. Shawn may be short and sweet. He's not big on mushy words. I swear - it took him like 5 minutes to ask me to marry him!! I had to prod it out of him! LOL Our legal day is October 31st. We were trying to do it as close to the wedding as possible and Friday the 31st just fit in...plus - we both LOVE Day of the Dead stuff, so it kind of fits us. It will be short Justice of the Peace thing. I am not even going to wear my band - it'll be my e-ring. I think he is going to use his band for the process and when we leave just take it back off. Steph - we have 101 days!

Great idea!

I picked up the little one at Michaels over the weekend for $1. I need a large one for luminaries. Erin, I just PM'd you in case Kelcrooks doesn't want it. ~ Celina

OMG Glenda, that is too funny ~ and TOTALLY something I would do! Definitely see if you can get your money back! Heres some ideas for what you can do with them....Save a few and send them to his friends on their birthday.... Cut their faces out and stick them on other bodies....cut each one out and put their heads on with dresses......Cut them out and glue them into each persons initial.....Glue them all together and make placemats.....Anyone else have any suggestions?

What kind of jewlery is it? I picked up some earrings at Dillards a week ago. They are chandelier type with pearls that were ivory & a champagne color. How cute your daughter is wearing a tiara - she will feel like a little princess!

I'm starting to gather info for my welcome packets, there more a What You Need to Know Before You Go packet since i'm handing them out ahead of time. I know - I am more relaxed too and more excited more than anything. Quote: Originally Posted by lucy106 Here is the ceremony I put together, it follows the order the Dreams had provided us... That is short and sweet! I take it you aren't doing a sand ceremony? Are you going to write your vows on something or go by memory?

I was wondering too if that's the stock pic or is it your actual fan? How are you decorating them? I have SO much housework to do myself - don't feel bad!

OH Becks - that is so sweet! "If I had hand picked my date twin it would have been you"....how sweet!
