That style is so modern and young.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT STYLE. It would look so elegant with your dress...I was considering either that style or a half up, half down version of it. I actually took a pic of my hair that I did (but it was without all the curls, just straight...) when I get home I will post the pic of it...

You know I gotta pick number 1 since that's the one I showed you... I like it though because it's kinda messy so that if you sweat or if the humidity gets the best of you, it will look okay, which is what you were worried about. If you chose the other styles there is more structure to the style and not alot of room for any mess ups... That was actually my favorite style...once you figure out how to do it, please let me know. And if the Jamaicans are gonna do it, please pay attention to what they do and even give me the name of who... Thanks Court...I told you...SAME PERSON, lol.

Yeah, that could work...my mom is actually walking me down the aisle...but same difference. What type of song should my girls walk in to

Thanks great news. So Mo, how is married life treatin ya

Okay... I appreciate the feedback, and I think I will join the Biggest Loser, but I only have until May 13th to lose the weight since that is my final dress fitting. I hope something works from now until then. Like I was telling Nikki, my bad eating habits is not so much what I eat, but how often I eat. I get so busy and wrapped up that I don't have enough time to eat. It's not on purpose because everyone around me knows how I love food. BarbK, i am gonna also follow your advice and put that swim suit in plain sight. I can fit in it now, but if I lose...I will look damn sexy in it

And I loved the dress above, but it didn't say wow...the one I have says wow. It is gorgeous... Don't worry you will see...

Yes...I can post pics... I have to go to bed now though since I have to be at work tonight at 5:30... I will try and post those when I wake up because I have to try the dress on and everything. But honestly the dress doesn't look bad at all. I just want to tighten up my arms, back, and abs. And I have to do something with my belly when I get in those swim suits.

So what does it do? Tell you what things to eat and how to workout? I don't know if I am stubborn or not, but I believe I know what I need to do...I just need some motivation or something I dunno... I just know I gotta look fabulous in Jamaica... I will have to look into weight watchers because I have always heard good things about it.

All fine and dandy but could you have told me this a month ago- like before I had postcards printed with day-of timeline that says nothing about a private reception! So I say all that to say, I don't know what our plans are anymore. I emailed Chandlyn yesterday to see if we can rent the disco from 2-4 but I haven't heard back from her. But I'm guessing since we are the first wedding that day no one will be in the disco at that time. With you all getting married so early, I am sure you will be fine. Worse come to worse, you could have a private reception at one of the bars or something and use your soundock!

Yes, I am a sweater also... It is so disgusting. Unfortunately, I have not found anything besides using some poweder. I also use their hydrating mist spray and that kind of helps when you put that on before you apply your makeup. My firend uses something from MAC that helps take the shine away from your face, let me call her today and find out and I will let you know.

This was taken back in August. I have lost about 7 lbs and a total of about 15 inches from all of my measurments since then... So I am a little smaller now.

That's another thing...I am completly strapped for money now. How much does weight watchers cost? Does it incorporate working out I want to eventually lose about 30 lbs...but I guess for the wedding, if I lose 15 lbs I would definetly be happy...shoot, I could even lose 10. I have been known not loose alot of lbs...but inches. I will post a pic of me in my old dress...

Okay so here is the deal: I bought my dress back in Aug a little small in hopes that I would lose weight. So as time went on, I slowly but surely was losing inches, but not a whole lot of weight. My eating habits are not the best because I don't know what stuff I need to eat and cook, but when I work out that is what gets me losing inches. So about 3 weeks ago, I was thinking to myself, "Self, what will happen if you can't get in this dress?" I was looking online and saw that David's was having a $99 sale. So I decided to go up there and see what they had. I was happy with my dress, but it wasn't WOW. I ended up leaving out of there with the most beautiful dress 9of course not one for $99 I told the alteration lady that I would be back May 13th for the final fitting so that I could try and lose some more weight from now til then. We don't leave for our June 14th wedding til the 11th of June so I still have time. Here is the dilemma: Since I have a new dress that I can fit in now, I have lost any little bit of motivation that I ever had before to lose anymore weight. What can I do to get that back? I was thinking since the weather is getting better that I could start back running outside, but I am SO BUSY. Is there any diet pills I could take? Someone help. I'm not in bad shape since I use to play college basketball about 5 years ago...but I need to tighten up if I wanna be in JAMAICA in a swim suit. I gain weight easy, but I lose it easy with some work. unfortunately most of my weight goes to the mid section and the "girls." Any advice or help is greatly needed... Thanks girls...

Court, did you go to the MAC counter? Do you still need me to do a play by play for the makeup

That dress is so beautiful...Court you gotta explain to me this TTD ceremony. What is the purpose and how do you avoid not ruining your dresses

Let me know if you find that out because we are doing the exact same thing. I'm starting to think that you and I are like the exact same person... (if that doesn't sound stalkerish...lol) Fashion, ATL, ROR, young and black, using iPod docking station, parasols for BM, dancing after ceremony, under 25 guests....so on and so forth... this is surreal. Sorry, I had a moment...lol

I know right...

Thank you hunny. Make sure you take lots of pics especially of Mamee Bay. Do you all have a jacuzzi suite If so, take pics of that too...lol. Take pics of stuff we haven't seen too...like the lobby or hallway, or the bonfire night...I'm also going to do our 1st dance and garter toss after the ceremony like you. Our wedding is at 1 pm though. What are you guys doing after Mamee We are going to the beach party...

I looked at her previous post and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I wonder too. What do you do to get banned? I can attest about the banning...in my situation, I was a part of BDW since like last September, but when they were upgrading the forum my account got lost. So I have been trying to get back since then. I finally broke through (after making many names to try and get access) but it just recently got erased since I had so many names. And now I am back officially with just this one name THAT WORKS. So it could have been something like that were she was having problems with her account or something. Oh, Marsha and Courtney...I sent you all the documents with the hairstyles.

Well that's good I am not the only one that will be considering that. Hopefully my hair will cooperate. I don't usually have a huge problem with humidity, but I haven't been to Jamaica so I don't know how their humidity is.

Yeah we decided we are going to just have the one song play and we all walk down to it...Do we walk back down the aisle to the same song or should we switch it up

You know, I wasn;t thinking about trashing the dress, but now I am considering it... How does that whole thing work? Will the dress get ruined

Courtney everything is so beautiful. I am so happy for you and TK...oh and hopefully I have my interview in ATL Thursday so maybe we could meet one day. You guys are so beautiful together and you are so prepared for this joyous occasion. Don't forget to enjoy yourself because it is YOUR day. Can't wait to see the pics.

Thanks ladies...I feel so apart of a family...lol...
