What a beautiful dress! It looks amazing on you.

We get to Cabo on Saturday and our vow renewal ceremony is on Monday. I'm not sure if we will have a chance to or not. I will check with my WC and see what she says. Thanks

I have a few questions regarding makeup. For those of you that are having your makeup professionally done, are you bringing your own or having the person you hired bring their supply? I don't normally wear makeup except for some blush and mascara. What does having a trial makeup done if the trial is done by someone other than the person you are hiring to do it? I am just confused as to how to handle the makeup issue. I have someone coming to my hotel room to do my hair and makeup that the WC booked.??

Here are my shoes. I bought 2 different pair because I couldn't choose between the 2. Give me your opinions please. The first is from Nina shoes and the other is a Kenneth Cole Reaction. 1st. 2nd shoe

Thanks again everyone. It felt good to wake up and read all of the encouragement. I am going to go and head out and try to spend some money. I will keep you all informed.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers to you and your husband. Take care of yourself and get some rest.

Again thanks for the kind words and encouragements. It makes me feel better knowing that are still such kind and warm hearted people around.

I have never heard of the beads?? I must be missing something.

This is where I got my daughter's dress and my son's girlfriends dress for our vow renewal. I got the Flores dress in Mer. Bridesmaid Dresses - Island Importer

Is it ok to join in on this thread for the inspiration? I just started on Jenny Craig almost a week ago and I have lost 3#'s so far. I am just amazed how well everyone is doing. Keep up the great job.

WTG keep up the great work!!

Thanks everyone! You all really do make people feel really special here and that you really do care. I havn't said anything to my son yet. He is away at college and if I was to say something he would be home in a minute. He is my "boy" and is my emotional one. I always said he should have been the daughter and my daughter the son. LOL. I will keep you all posted on things. I think I am going to try and go shopping tomorrow and see if that will keep my mind off of things for a little while. I need to go get shoes for my dress because I have my fitting on Monday.

Just an FYI, if you get your ring resized a lot, it can wear down the ring and get thin. I had my resized a couple of times and that is what happened to mine and then it broke. I would keep it a little loose for those days when you decide to have children(if you do that is) and your hands swell, you may never get the ring off and then they would have to cut it off.

It's not a wedding dress but I love how it looks and I noticed a lot of the ladies here are using it for their bridesmaid dresses in different colors. I seen a pair of silver shoes at JCPenney online I may take a look at the store and see if I like them in person. Will someone at the bridal shop take pics you think or would I need to bring someone with me?

What a gorgeous dress! I like that green color. It will work great for TTD. I wish they did that when I got married, I really wound have trashed my dress, and not because I liked it eaither!! They are also doing TTD for girls and their prom dresses. I would love for my daughter to do that, but she hates getting her pics taken. TFS

I am so happy that you were able to exchange the other dress at DB and got one that you really like. It is a gorgeous dress and I love all of the lace.

Hi everyone, I am some what of a newbie in need of some moral support. I am not a bride to be but I am planning on renewing our vows in June 08. We will be married 25yrs. This has been a bad week for me. I just went yesterday for my annual GYN exam and had my first mamogram. At my gyn exam the doc says there looked like something odd but lets wait until the pap results come back. Then I go for the mamo and the tech goes, we tell all of our ladies this, especiallialy the ones that don't have a mamogram to compare to, that when you get the results in the mail, it may say to come back for more testing but it's probably nothing. So, here I am thinking I have 7-10 days to hope nothing comes back. Well, not so lucky. I got a call today that says I need to come back in for more views and an ultrasound!! I am so scared and all I have been doing is crying since I got home from work. My hubby is out of town on a job and won't be back until next week after I go back in for more tests. My 18 y/o daughter seen me crying and asked what was wrong and I told her, that is the first time in a long time that she came up to me and hugged me. She is not the huggy/loveable daughter. Then she said, mom, that is what Jack's mom just died from! This should be a happy time for me, planning my vow renewal ceremony, excited to be married to an awesome guy for this long. When I was talking to him on the phone he knew something more was wrong. I tried to tell him nothing but that didn't work. I told him that if it is cancer and had to have a mastectomy that he would leave me. He said I knew that is what you are afraid of. Then he said the best thing, we have been through hell and back and you are stuck with me, I didn't marry you for your body, even though I love it, I married you because I love you and we are in this together. Even though I know no one can make those promises, I really believe he wouldn't leave me, but there is still that doubt in the back of my mind. I also don't want to die. I want to see my kids graduate from college and have a family of their own. Is that too much to ask for? I am too young for this to be happening to me. I just got over having back surgery 6 months ago. I'm sorry if I am bringing all you happy people down, I just needed to vent and I have read how uplifting everyone here is. I am not asking for sympathy, just some prayers thrown my way. Sorry this is so long, thanks for letting me vent and "listening" to my problems.

I just got the call that my dress is in for my vow renewal. I go Monday for alterations. Now I have to go this weekend and get me shoes and under garments for this thing. Wish me luck!!

Mine just arrived today!! I will have one available after June 2 if anyone would like it. Just PM me.

Do you all say your vows alone or do you repeat them after the person doing the ceremony?

I voted for the clear ones. My flowers are going to be bright pink/orange/yellow roses with greenery and I ordered the clear.

I chose #2. I love lace and the halter is so pretty on you.

Very beautiful! Love the design. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful dress! Looks really flattering on you. TFS

That is absolutely gorgeous!! I love all of the lace.
