I could not have just "checked out" because my wedding was over. My confession... I haven't shaved my legs in God knows how long. I'm to the point of grossing myself out! I might just wax them so I can pretend that I have an excuse for letting it get to this this bad. I guess that also tells you how long it's been since I've had sex, LOL LMAO! I use to be able to do that. I can't now for some reason. But isn't it the best feeling when you have let yourself get hairy then you shave or wax and your legs feel soooo good on stuff. Like your jeans and your sheets. It's heavenly!

So beautiful! Congrats!!

LMAO that is so funny! I should make my Mom a pair of these she would have her ass off!

I did not understand how you created friendships that warranted telling your fiance about their stuff. My next confession...I do the above all the time!! Haha. Matt thinks its soooo funny that I'm like "oh, Celina had 70 shitheads not show for her AHR and Casey is coming to Dallas and Andrea had 4 more people book at the last minute!". I tell him about my day - which includes all of yall So thanks to you all for being there and listening to my wedding stuff (and sharing yours!). I would probably lose a few friends if I talked to them about my wedding as much as I talk to yall! I know what you mean! Ryan is so use to it now and my Mom too. I will be like so and so did this or so and so did that and they will be like "from the forum?" lol I also thought it was weird when married chicks stuck around after their wedding. Now I totally get it. Quote: Originally Posted by Sloan Ditto!! I thought everyone was a bit weird too! Now I do it all the time. Craig thinks its weird that Im getting together with some of the ON brides in February. He says "but you dont know any of them" ... well what difference does it make, I met YOU online and didnt know YOU at all. Look where that landed us! HA HA HA HA Quote: Originally Posted by STACEY I confess that I hate the new woman at work.

Tell her if she wants to change something to go make some new coffee Quote: Originally Posted by BachataBride I haven't told FI yet about our get together!! He's very skeptical of people & their intentions!! He thinks talking to people online & giving out personal info is not safe (but he's a cop so he can't help it!) I'll see what he has to say about everyone coming to the house!! LMAO One of my really good friends is a cop and he is SO paranoid ALL the time. He cracks me up.

You looked amazing! I can't wait to see the rest!

Thanks! I will look into those!

Quote: Originally Posted by Duchess How did the wedding dress get dirtier than the TTD? LOL! From wearing it around on the wedding day. It drags the ground and collects EVERY piece of dirt around. My TTD dress was so clean that I didn't even have to get it cleaned when I came home. I know a lot of people say that they wore their wedding dress and it came out cleaner after the photo session than it was before. But you never know.

I bought another dress not because I didn't want to ruin my dress but because I knew my dress would be SUPER heavy when it was wet. I kinda wished I used my wedding dress though because my TTD dress ended up really clean and my wedding dress was FILTHY. I know if I had used it for the TTD it would have been a lot cleaner coming home.

I'm not Canadian but I LOVE Tim Hortons Coffee. I would even love that cup. So I say go for it I think it will be a cute touch of home.

Yeah, you need to work something out. Maybe one family can do Christmas Eve and the other family can do Christmas. I remember as a kid we would do Christmas Eve with one family and Christmas with another. Same with Thanksgiving we would do Thanksgiving with one family on Thursday then usually one with the other that weekend. That or you can do every other year.

Casey, Really all humidors do the same thing. It is basically just a choice of size and color. I got my husband one that is like desk sized and has a glass top and about four drawers. It holds a ton of cigars and I think it was about 150 dollars. For you girls that are getting mad at Fi's for buying stuff I made a rule a few years back that starting in November NO BUYING STUFF FOR YOURSELF!!! One year I bought four things for my then FI that he went out and bought for himself within a week of Christmas I was so mad! So, now we have a rule that you can't buy anything for yourself until after Christmas.

I want to know more about it too!

Go for the PS3!! I have both, well I HAD the 360. I don't know what happened to it but it doesn't work now. I love the graphics on the PS3 too!!

I just googled it and this is what I found... Looks like a place in SF does sell it. Victoria Bitter

Dude you can still do it! Just get a photographer and a dress and a pretty spot and BLAM!! TTD photos

I got him a Humidor last Christmas and a traveling humidor and a cutter and blah blah blah. This year he just wants cigars. He really likes the Drew Estates Java Cigars for like a dessert cigar. But he also wants a longer stronger type and he hasn't found any he LOVES yet. Any suggestions?

Quote: Originally Posted by BachataBride I have that confession too!! I think we all do!! LOL Besides that, I confess that I am very very hurt that my friends bailed on my wedding. I put on a front for other people (like I usually do) and say that I'm ok with it & I understand, but I'm not & I don't. Seriously...grow up & take responsibility for a committment that you made. Be there for your friends. Geesh. I got my feelings hurt the whole way up to my trip. People let you down and it is life but it still sucks. I could only put my focus else where to a positive note. I remembered how lucky I was that the people that were coming came. And how excited they all were and how much the losers at home were going to miss. My own sister didn't go to my wedding. I guess it didn't fit into her schedule. Just stay positive and remember that the ones not going (that don't have a good excuse) aren't really worth breaking your heart over. Ya know?

I don't know if I already posted this but... At our wedding the person would clink their own glass then they would have to stand up and tell a story about one of us. It was hilarious. Then after the story we would kiss. The best part was that the Best man told a story about Ryan in the fifth grade and how he always had to be the best at everything and one year they had a jump rope for heart and Ryan walked up and down every street selling and selling until he beat out EVERYONE in their class combined. And how mad Jeremy (the best man) was. There was more to it but then we kissed. Then his Mom stands up and tells everyone SHE was the one that brought that Jump rope to heart to her office and sold all of it for Ryan. LOL Jeremy had been holding on to that for years and finally it was all out. OK maybe not that funny but I couldn't stop laughing.

I was hoping someone could help me out with some things 1. did you all bring your own give aways?? Yes. We did OOT bags and picture frames with pictures in them 2. I'm having my reception on the beach as well, was it windy at night?? I'm getting married in April 09 It is always windy from what I have heard 3. How was the cake?? I'm getting the ultimate package and it comes with a cake, does anyone have any pics.I really liked the cake. I thought it was really good 4. Any suggestions on how to cut cost by bringing my own decorations or is it not worth it. I didn't bring any. It is so beautiful there already. 5. Was it worth an extra 2000 to bring in Claudia R. for picturesI brought my own photographer. He did a great job and I am glad I brought him. 6. did your grooms where a tux or a suite?? did they complain about the heatMy DH wore a suite. It was super hot for him but he only kept it on for the ceremony and the pictures. After that he took the jacket off Sorry I know its a ton of questions really Appreciate it If you have any more questions let me know

Aww thanks girls! And congrats Jac! I love this place and all of you!

Once we have the final count, I'll do something like put BDW on the list- so you just have to say that you're with BDW and you're in for free!!! Will that work? Awww Do you want us to figure something else out so you can join in?! By party do they mean drink? Or do they mean actually go and mingle? Quote: Originally Posted by *Casey* I'm just going to miss it I don't get in till the 18th, but if anyone wants to grab a drink during the week to get away from Christmas craziness, let me know I'll be in Dallas on the 18th. I have to drop my stepson off at the airport. If Ryan and I stay the night up there to go shopping we should def get together if you aren't too busy with Family stuff!

I'm not much help because I didn't get a DJ but I know that it kinda depends on the people going. I mean are there a lot of partiers and young people? Or is it mostly family? We had our "reception" until 9 then we all headed to the lobby bar and partied until around midnight.
