  1. I calle dJcrew this morning over my Sophia BM dresses, and they said that they shipped mine through IPPA!?! WITHOUT A TRACKING NUMBER... And the guy could not tell me anything about the company... Is this who they shipped yours through?
  2. I hear ring tattoos, I think Pamela Anderson and Tommy lee...
  3. UPDATE: Police did not find any fingerprints. Right now our only hope is that a legitimate pawn shop will get the stuff. Which is highly unlikely. Oh well...
  4. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. Our landlord has stepped up to the plate (for once pretty fast too!) and replaced all our locks, and is changing the exterior doors to metal, window-free fire-retardant doors. We have also put bars on the windows that are easily accessible, not attractive at all, but at least we are sleeping better at night. We have decided not to replace anything until January, just because many robbers will wait long enough for you to replace (about 2-3 weeks) and then steal from you again… That and Christmas time is the most popular time to get robbed, even with a good economy. We have Renters insurance, which is going to help, except for the 800$ deductible. The insurance adjuster is coming by this evening. The good thing about this is that our friends have been spectacular; they have been calling, checking up on us, and coming to stay over while my FI works Nights, just so we both feel safer. Side note: THANK GOD MY WEDDING DRESS WAS A MY MOH’S HOUSE 2ND Side note: WHO THE F&%* STEALS AN ALMOST EMPTY PACK OF BIRTH CONTROL PILLS REALLY! There were only 2 left in it….and who does not know what pills look like?!?!?!? LMAO 3rd side note: PAPER TOWELS STEAK?? VEAL REALLY ARE YOU THAT GHETTO!?!?!?!?
  5. Hi Ladies, I just wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas. At this point it will not be Merry for us, as our apartment was broken into Sunday night. Most of our presents including our 5 day old Playstation 3, and 4 month old computer were taken. Clearly we do not have internet at home anymore, so I will not be one here until after the holidays. (They got in through the back door which was half glass, half wood, broke the glass, then they busted down our dead-bolted back door.) Everyone is ok, we were not home when the robbery occurred, and thankfully our dog was unharmed. Hoping you all have a very Merry Christmas!
  6. Question: Are the bags the same type of material you can get as re-usable bags at the grocery store? Or are they more of a one-time use?

  8. It took me forever to find this Thred. bump bump Could this be a sticky ?
  9. Ours is also at 4pm. I figure worse case scenario we will be glowing in our pictures!! lol So I am working on our Boarding Pass invites, and gosh does it ever take a while!! I have done a few test runs on them so far because the alignement. There is information on front and back, so they have to align up perfectly so that when you cut them, you don't chop off the back. Now I am just waiting to get the French version from my mom so that I can start printingall 100 of them, cutting, stamping, etc... So much work, but oh so worth it in the end (hopefully everyone will love them). We priced them at a local wedding invitation store, and they wanted to charge us 800$ considering we have bough about 100$ of supplies, we saved ALOT of $$$. :smile:
  10. You're Canadian? The easiest by far is CUBA, as they have the least restrictions, they only require that you send them your info (passport #) a few weeks beforehand. No blood test, no translations, and they can provide the witnesses. It is super easy, provided neither of you have been divorces. I am going to a Melia Resort, they have a coordinator in Canada that could probably see you married for the new yaer , or January, she responds to emails and phonecalls within a few hours. PM me for her contact info. Best of luck!
  11. Not all the Rich BRide, Poor Bride girls are bad. My FH and I watched one this weekend and we were both thinking this one was reasonable (for once!) It is touch and go with that show with regards to mean brides.
  12. Congratulations!!! I hope you have a fabulous wedding!!! BDW OTTAWA meet up soon!
  13. I read somewhere that you should use a rubber hammer to force the tool to seal the grommet... does that make sense? Did you use one, or just manually force it close?
  14. Omg!! Such an awesome & original idea!! Loves it!
  15. Hey ladies!! I placed an order on SUNDAY night for 100 pieces of cardstock, Stardream FAiRWAY was the color from Paper-papers.com and I paid 60US$ - this included shipping. The price by the sheet here in Ottawa was 1.25CAN$ for the cardstock. So either way I got a deal. The shopping experience was nice and smooth Best part: I had no surprise Duties or brokerage charges which NEVER happens! second best part: I got the papers WEDNESDAY! :-O I would defintely recommend this paper company!! NOTE: I SHIPPED WITH USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL, cost just under 19$ for shipping. Again, WELL worth it!
  16. I am interested in him as well! I will give him a call in the new year since our wedding is only in June! Amaraillis, which photographer are you using for your wedding? A Local or someone you are bringing in?
  17. Although I agree with you Heather, the people have spoken. Let us not forget that the Conservatives only got 38%( or something) of the electoral vote, the coalition is infact much more representative of the Canadian populace, 62% of the people will be represented! I was listening to CBC radio this morning and they said that this type of coalitition has been shown to work in Eastern European countries where they have a much more representative government. Lets not forget that the Gov Gen has to give her consent...

I know of at least 5 of us in the area! It would be a small but rowdy get together!!! Maybe we should plan a BDW happy hour in the new year!
  19. That sucks about your bachelorette party!!! But time will FLY by and before you know it, you will be sitting on the beach with your husband! I am in Ottawa & so are a few other girls, we could have a small B-party for you! or Maybe a post-wedding B-party with all the Ottawa/ Gatineau BDW brides!
  20. I LOVE this thread!! I want to trust the musicians that we hire from the Resort, but I am having a hard time letting go ... what if I don't like it.. It's not like I can turn around and start again... I would love to hear them before hand, oh well. i will probably pop in a CD.
