Tsra, I would seat the kids with their parents. I also think it would be fine to put them together as well - just leave some paper and crayons on the table. It will give them something to occupy their time. I think it would be fine to have your two brothers sit at the same table. It will make them feel special. I wouldn't separate them. Steph, I would take out Shakira (Personally - I can't stand her nasaly voice - it sounds like nails on chalkboard for me)lol - and add "Mexico" - I think it's by James Taylor. I love that song! (I think we may use it for our slideshow at our AHR) What about "Tequila" by The Champs? (we are using that for our cake cutting song) Hope this helps! Glad to hear you are up and around. I am going to be clearing a space off my desk here in a bit so I can take some pics of my stuff and post tomorrow.

Waaaahhh! I can't see pics from my slow ass computer at home! I'll have to wait till Monday.

Dez, From our chat here on the forum you seem to be a sweet, nice, giving person. I know you love this man, that part is clear. HOWEVER...IMO the relationship seems to be one sided. Your FI has A LOT of baggage and at some point he has to deal with his baggage before you can move on. Your relationship seems to be you being his caregiver and emotional doormat and he refuses to accept responsibility for his actions. He needs to deal with HIS past - it's HIS past sweetie - not yours. You shouldn't be the only one who is working so hard on holding things together. I've been in your shoes. I'm sorry for saying this and you may not like it but unless and until HE gets some help, your relationship is doomed. You will continue to argue in circles because he doesn't see that what he is doing is wrong and you being the kind and giving person that you are will continue to do what you can to make him happy - when for him that still won't be enough. Dez,he is a grown ass man. You are not his mother - you are his fiance - his partner. You are equals and should be each others support. You deserve a man who is going to be strong for you and someone you can lean on and be happy with. It's one thing to be supportive of someone who actually sees that you are being supportive, however he is not reciprocating your efforts. Dez, you are wasting your time and efforts and deserve SO MUCH BETTER! I hope he gets some help and embraces his past and accepts it as it is and understands that his past should not predict his future. I also hope he realizes that he has an amazing woman who is enduring the fallout from his past and it isn't fair and it is not right because SHE DOES NOT DESERVE IT!!

You definitely need to post some pics. Are you open to ditching the veil? I bought a veil and was all "oh yeah a veil" and now I am like WTF was I thinking so I am getting rid of that, this an option? Will you be this tan then? I mean that may sound dumb but just a question. I am just eager for biggest loser 3 to start. I know Atkins is not the best way to lose weight but lets be honest 4 months is not a lot of time and I have had great success doing Atkins and losing weight fast on that diet. and Celina thank you for asking I am in a lot of pain right now and will be going back to bed but had to check in with everyone while my FI is out, he is a mean nurse who wont let me out of bed (and not for all the right reasons, damn it) In case I dont get to chat with you all later (although I am sure I will.... Happy Fourth of July) YES SARGEANT STEPH!! I PROMISE...NO MORE BAD TALK!! I think I want to keep the veil - Even if I wear it for just one minute ~ I want something to pass on to my little girl for her wedding. I'll work it out. Someone recommended an appetite supressant on another thread - I am going to look for it this weekend and start it ASAP! Steph - you go back to bed rest and and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Dez, How are things going? I didn't realize so much was going on. Was this before or after this past weekend at the wine tasting?

Beautiful Sarah!! Thanks for sharing! The pic of you clapping is SO sweet! I could feel your excitement!

Thanks guys! I'll have to post pics on Monday to show you. Maybe it's because I'm not used to wearing such a light color all over my body - it just seemed weird.

Your make up even looked good! The pics are beautiful - you guys looked like you were enjoying yourselves and you both look SO happy!

Okay - I must confess something......... I tried on my dress & veil last night and I realized I need to do a trillion sit ups and go on a serious diet! Dress fits, but I look pregnant and need a different bra. I felt like my head looked small and the rest of me was big. NO - I'm not posting pics either !! LOL! The ivory didn't even look ivory. I am so tanned that the dress almost looks white. Another thing.........I am second guessing my veil. I love it and it is beautiful, BUT I thought I looked stupid. It seemed so frivilous. I am putting a flower in my hair too, and when I was at the bridal store, it all looked so nice together, now I feel like it doesn't. I don't know. Maybe I need to take some pics and see what you guys think. I think that's what I'll do. I'll take them this weekend and post on Monday. You guys should post some pics on Monday too! ~ On a side note - how are you feeling Steph? I hope all went well at the doctors! Love ya! Celina

Stunning dress! I LOVE IT! The man has great taste! I see why you are marrying him! Nice to not have to do alterations!

Oh Edna, Just know you have friends. Talking it out helps - even with a professional, there is nothing wrong with that. I am so sorry. Everything will work out. I am sure! I also plan on meeting up with you when you are in PV - cause we'll still be there! Big Hugs! ~ Celina

Okay - I think the guy at the castle in Ireland (not the hippy looking gray haired guy), but the other guy - I think he was leading them on. He was a bit much. The one in Hollywood Hills was interesting. All those voices were crazy! I think the owner was obsessed with saying he had those people (Sharon Tate (?) and her boyfriends) spirits in the house. Sort of a PR thing for him - he'll probably be doing tours there pretty soon. I had to get some house stuff done, so those were the only ones I watched. Speaking of PR - FI and I were thinking they must have cut a deal with RotoRooter because they mention them at least once in each episode. Plus on the beginning of the show they always flash the van before the TAPS van. My daughter went on the GH website and said they have GH shirts for sale. I am totally going to buy her one for Christmas! LOL!

Yes ladies it's true! I just ordered my FI 2 pairs. They have black, white and natural Alfani drawstring linen pants for $19.99 Not sure how long the sale is but check it out at Macy's - Clothing, Shoes, Bed & Bath, Kitchen, Beauty Brands & Sunglasses

Congrats and welcome back! You looked amazing! The 1st picture almost looks fake - it is so vivid! Wow! The flowers were beautiful!

HAaaaaa - this is so hillarious! I love Bridezilla's - FI and I will watch some of it together and he is like OMFG! Those chicks are loons! That lady who had that big ass bridal party was SO out of it! She was the most unhappy person ever! That lady last week from Jersey - OMG, she doesn't have a normal speaking voice - all she did was yell! Tuesday I was helping my MOH move into her house and she kept saying - "Don't move anything too heavy - I don't want you to hurt yourself - you are getting married in a few months". I was like YES - she gets it - I am the BRIIIIIIDDDDEEEEEE!!!

I posted on your other post, but wanted to tell you here too CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is SO cool! You look great and you both look so happy!

Cute Yari!

Edna, My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry this is going on. You have been in my thoughts lately and I have been hoping you have been feeling better with your surgery. Jorge will see things clearer soon. I hope things get better for you. With love, Celina

How sweet!! You guys look so in love! Congratulations!

LOL I could get used to a life of leisure!! Speaking of drinking water - I refilled my cup earlier and reached over and knocked ice and water all over my desk!! I had overtime slips for the guys and training records - everything was safe - but wet!

I am going to ask my doctor about it and check with my insurance too! I like the pink! It is very fitting on you!

OMG Glenda! What a crazy day! What a relief it must be to be finally married! You looked so beautiful in both dresses. The church was beautiful! Thanks for sharing your story - it sounds like some crazy sitcom! But you made it through! YAY and congratulations!

Hey guys, don't forget to watch tonight! Does GH International start tonight?

Another suggestion that I know works is acupuncture. I know two women that did it for cravings and they lost A LOT of weight. and thank you! That was taken when I was blonde. My hair changes with the seasons..I have pink in my hair now lol Yes I know what you mean Hmmm...I'll have to see on the accupuncture. I have gotten it in the past for a back injury, but it made the pain worse. I never thought of it for anything else. How cute that you have pink hair! Is it sort of like Jess on Rock of Love?

I love "Swag Bags" - that is what my bags have turned into also! I only have three to make, but it has been fun picking up things for them. So far I have their black tanks with "Maid of Honor and Bridesmaid" in rhinestones, silver hear shaped manicure sets, tropical glitter lotion and lip gloss, small photo albums and of course their cups! I was thinking of making them some cute flip flops to match the tanks. Black with sequins on them or something fun - maybe a cute flower to pin behind their ear to wear with their tanks.

I did some bloodwork in February and my doctor said I was fine. She had me on a prescription weight loss drug - Meridia - but the prescription was SO expensive. ($130 a month) I have also taken phentramine, which works but after a while your body gets immune to it. Actually, I think that is what happens with most stuff anyway. Quote: Originally Posted by JennyK I've taken some pills before that suppressed my appetite and made me really thirsty (in turn peeing my brains out and losing 3 lbs in a day). I wish I knew the name bc they were given to me Hmmm...if you find out let me know. On a side note Jenny - your new siggy pic is awesome! You and FI look good together! (But I bet you already knew that !)
