Those are some options when I don't want yogurt. ..on another note- I really want frozen yogurt right now but I knwo I shouldn;t cause I already had 2 glasses of wine.

Kelly I think I have the menus on my computer but right now I am on the laptop. We are semi customizing our cocktail hour- not that I know how muh this is costing yet. I htink it was going to be something like $25 pp. We started off the Mexican cocktail menu but played around with it. I'll post in the morning for you.

it's so pretty on you! How exciting.

They are super cute Tara!

I think he teared up during our ceremony but was able to play it off. I used a mineral powder based make up and didn't re-apply. As stated before, photoshop is a wonderful thing. DH's suit was silk, and as people came up to hug him, he got a few spots on the suit. GROSS! But our photog was able to get that out. I also bruise really easily and had a nasty spot on my arm that she took care of. You will have so much going though your mind you won't notice! I am glad to hear that behind the scenes so to speak you were sweating. I sweat when I am walking to the subway and FI makes fun of me cause he's dry as a whistle (is that the saying?). He looks at me like I'm a science project. he actually said to me the other day " I wish I could sweat like you you are probably ridding yourself of toxins all the time." I don't even need to be exerting myself I am just the sweating kind. The glistening kind rather. I don't smell though.

Also, I am probably one of the only weirdos on this site at 6:30 am.

Have fun Amy!

So I have looked at several slideshows of all you lovely ladies that have posted ( love them!) and notice that everyone looks super dry and fresh. I am sort of scared that I will be sweating like a maniac on my wedding day. I am still dress hunting so clearly am not looking for heavy material but did you guys have to powder up constantly or something? I see no shiny foreheads. I'm not a huge makeup person so I'm just curious. Thanks for sharing!

How exciting Yari! It's will be so much fun. Enjoy.

AHHH! that sucks i'm so sorry that happened right before your wedding. I agree with Glenda... I think you should experiement with an eybrow pencil- or better yet go to a makeup counter and have one of the girls do it for you so you can see how it's done. KWIM? How frustrating!

You guys look great in your pics! Congratulations!

This is truly outrageous. IT sounds mega shady and I think it's imperative that all brides re check on policies once they arrive to avoid this. I'm so mad!!!!!!

Congrats on legally becoming a Mrs... Enjoy the day!

Awesome! Congratulations. Lot's of change...

Hi Miranda, I have also just begun dress shopping and am one of those girls that had never looked before either. This is what helped me make it a fun day: - I brought my best girlfriend and my mom with me. - I went to yoga that morning. This helped me feel confident and strong in my body and slightly less obsessive and nervous about having all eyes on me in these dresses. - I searched several websites and wrote down the designers and style numbers that I wanted to try on and brought them with me. With some I changed my mind when I saw on hanger. This made the bigger stores less overwhelming. - Tried on dresses that my mom or Em pulled for me just for the heck of it and ended up REALLY loving one. Keeping somehwat of an open mind - I told myself that even if I felt that I "found the one" I would sleep on it and go to the other shops I have planned. The dress will still exist in another month. - Wore full undies/ no thong after a fellow BDW lady suggested it. The "attendant" is all up in your business getting you in and out of dresses. - Went to lunch after and had some wine. Enjoy! I am going on my 2nd excursion this Saturday as well.

The kinko fiasco sounds like something that would happen to me! I feel for ya- the brochures look awesome though!

I voted for #1 but #2 is a close one. I'm not in love with #3. Like Jacqueline- I love the stones in #1 but would love to see them on since you have dark hair.

Yeah I heard this too- I don't know where but that's what I was planning. I have also been looking at women's hands and rings ever since becoming engaged....

wow- heaven. Thanks Tara

so cute! You guys are almost there.

Dear guy in my thursday morning yoga class who always farts, Please try and stop or go to the back of the room at least. Hold it in, don't eat for a while- something. I am grossed out by you and it's really hard for me not to laugh. Dear Jess (my sis), I miss you! Please come back to the states. The Peace Corps doesn't need you as much as I do. You have already been there 2 years and have continually been sick. You have done a lot for the people in your village. Please stop beating yourself up about it and come home if you hate it so much. You are beginning to lose our support... Love, Me

Right before class I thouht I might have had a "treatment effect" cause I felt something wet!!!!!!!!! ahh! but it turns out i sat on a grape. I was so scared and mortified i had to share.

Andrea- someone read the kahlih gibran excerpt on marriage- beautiful! I am definately cconsidering that for our ceremony. I'm so weepy!
