How crazy, I still can't wrap my mind around her having twins! She already has two kids and she is 27. I just can't believe it! It's a bummer she won't be there...but, in my opinion, is one of the best reasons (or excuses lol) for a person not being there!

Did I mention how excited I am AND now I have time to make sure my house in clean!! (it's usually a wreck LOL)

I ONLY know when it is because my cousin in FL sent me my aunt and uncle's travel in and asked me to fwd it to my mom LOL She also mentioned that she's sorry she wont be able to make it. Honestly before that I had NO idea. They worked hard to make me believe it was a weekend in Sept and if it wasn't for that email I'd still be thinking that! (except that since they know I know they're trying to amake me believe it's sunday not saturday lol)

However, my FSIL sent her gifts to the house because she is lazy and didn't want to bring them to the shower or wrap them. She went crazy and got a bunch of stuff including the Kitchenaid mixer I really wanted. I already sent her a thank you, but I think we will announce what she got at the shower as well since she will be there. My best friend did this too...she sent us our george forman grill I think she did it because a) she really won't be able to make the shower this weekend she wants to surprise me and make me think she won't be at the shower or c) she's flying in for the shower and it'd be a b*tch to fly with LOL (she lives in upstate NY, I'm in NYC. oh, and I'm not supposed to know my shower is this weekend LOL

If you get gifts from your registry in the mail before your shower, are you not supposed to open them? My sister threw a fit yesterday when i told her I got my crystal vase and george forman grill LOL

Hi Cristy! Welcome and happy planning My wedding is about two months after yours at the MP There's a whole thread for MP brides with a ton of info!!!!! Good luck! and welcome again

Oh Boy!!! Fun, fun times

I jsut read through this whole thread hoping to see a pic of the invites. I'm along the lines of "suck it up" though. Most people have nothing to do with anything with their shower. I gave my mom and sister and list with addresses and that was the extent of my help. I have NO idea what they sent out. Maybe, if anything...pass them along to a brides maid to address them and send them out...and if something "happens" to them, it's out of your hands

Martha I actually had an ear to ear smile on my face looking at your pics (FI was like "what are you looking at?" lol) You are absolutely glowing in every way!! (and I don't mean from the bronzer). Congratulations!!!!

Weight loss goal schmate loss goal. Love who you are now for what you are now I'm not saying to toss the weight loss goal out the window, but don't let your size hold you back. I'm a very +++ size girl and I have been most of my life. I've finally gotten to the point where "if you don't like how I look, don't look at me" I've contacted a photog about doing a BD session. My logic.....he knows what I look like and he loves me. Plus a professional can help with poses and angles. I've decided to do it for him for our 1 year anniversary, since 1 is paper Quote: Originally Posted by ginalynn You are all so brave! I wish I had a sister to do this with! Does FI have a sister or do you have any close girlfriends? If you were closer I'd say I'd take some pics for you once I finished FSIl's

LOL All signs of a GREAT night!! I agree, a pic of you falling down and landing on the penis would be priceless I could see the MasterCard commercial now... "New Dress and shoes...$XX Dinner out with the girls...$XXX 3 bottles of wine, 5 shots and 3 drinks...$XXX Falling down drunk on a giant penis....priceless"

I was just goign to say look into reporting them to the BBB, but I see others have said it already. I looked into using them and I'm really glad I didn't! Sorry to hear about your dad, I'll say a prayer for you.

Under 5 months...OMG...what happened to having 6 months left - little, minor freak out...I'll be ok LOL On another note, my BM earings and necklaces are done!

haha, Abbie, you're right...we are AWESOME! LOL I say go for it!!!!!

FSIL got a "visitor" the day we were supposed to do them...then she went to Aruba for a week...I think we're going attempt to do them next week

Very Nice!!

Wow! We all think alike LOL

ErinB died her slip... This thread might help you http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21286

You look gorgeous and oh so happy I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures I'm glad you had an awesome time too!!!!!

haha, I doubt FI will want to come, but occasionally he surprises me I'll mention it to him closer to the date

Congratulations! Welcome back Can't wait to see your pictures!!!!

Congratulations on the house! I'm so sorry about your hip My mom had severe arthritus in her hip and had a total hip replacement when I was about 6. In the 80s technology wasn't what it is now and she needed to have it redone 10 years later, but now it's been 14 years and she's still going strong. Most people have NO idea. Best luck with the surgery!!! I agree, everything happens for a reason!

My totes came in a few days. We LOVE them! With our logo ironed on, they look like we spent more on them than we did LOL I'd definatly recomend them. If you're iffy, order one or two to get an idea (you can always use them as a grocery bag or tote)

I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty I can imagine what you're going through **BIG HUG**
