What about a pair of pants like these? I have a pair I found at Macy's. The site I posted from is for sizes 12+. You should be able to find them online easily though.

I was crying as I watched this!!! You have to watch all the way through!! Freaky Best Man Speech

Hands down Lucky Ducky!!! What child doesn't have a security blankie!!! I still have the silk from the end of mine I need to sleep with

Boo I already made my appt with Brandi for St Pattys Day. I'm super excited to work with her though!!

Damn!!! You need to pick a non holiday!!! If it was any other monday I could scam off, but its MLK day so no chance, since the kids are off school and casino's are busy =( If you girls do a Friday night, do you know of any reasonable hotels? I'd rather stay over then have to drive 3 hours back home! Then atleast I could enjoy myself more!!

We chose 9 Beaches due to the insane venue price of Coco Reef. I seem to remember my planner stating that Jenn's wedding was the last one before they decided to charge an arm and a leg for a site cost alone, with nothing else! We're doing the 5 day RCCL cruise out of Bayonne also, with having our wedding the first day in Bermuda. I'm a jersey girl also! Just getting married in 09 though!! Jerseygirl, I've never been to Bermuda either, but still choose to get married there! A few years back my mother saw a wedding at Horseshoe Bay and said it was the most beautiful wedding she's ever seen, so that sold me enough to be able to get married there!

OMG you girls are the BEST!! All I could come up with was some cheesy car deco kits that where awful! See now I know why I come to you girls for all my questions!!

Can't say that I do. The pictures on the website look beautiful though!

Ok Girls I need to enlist your help! I've searched google till my fingers fell asleep. What I'm looking for is a "Just Married" magnetic sign for our cabin door on our wedding cruise. I don't really want something to generic, but cute ya know?

Mine is around elbow length. I do agree though try some on with your dress and see how it looks. There's not really a "right length" veil when it comes to the drastic designs of wedding dresses these days!!

So I've been searching forever for embroidered tote bags that weren't to expensive. With looking at all the websites bags where like $22. So I decided to take my chances with Ebay. Low and behold I found 5 embroidered tote bags for $65 WITH shipping!! Well they came in today and I love them!!! I can't wait to give them to my girls!! Mom and BM FMIL and MoH Close up of the embroidery work I purchased them from Got Gear store on Ebay. They where a pleasure to work with and super fast. I do wish the blue thread was a little brighter but it will work! Now I'm waiting on the spa wraps to come in from another ebay seller who was willing to match the font on my bags even though she didn't advertise that font. And she even emailed me a coupon code for 25% off!!! I would have shared it but it was the last day >< I'm getting so excited doing all this stuff!! I can't wait to get more of my stuff for my OOT bags!!

The final product to be mailed. And my favorite, the luggage tags. The reverse side just has everyone's name, address and phone number. For the luggage tags, I used business cards and just made them in power point, then printed both sides. Afterwards I lamintated them with a cheapo laminating machine I bought at Walmart, cut them all out and used a hole punch. They where super easy and turned out way better then I thought they would. I changed them a little from the ones I made using Becks template. I had better luck lining up the printing on the front and back this way. The packets, I bought 6x6 card stock at Michaels. Used Word but set my paper to 5x5. Typed everything up, used my paper cutter to cut everything down to 5x5 then used spray glue and attached them to the card stock. Used my hole punch to make the holes for the heart shaped brads and hooked them all together! I'm not sure how to attach the files for templates, but if anyone wants them, feel free to post your email until I can figure out how to attach the file!!

So I've had my luggage tags done for a while, I finally got around to printing and putting together my packets! Of course I have tons of pics!! Page 1&2 Page 3&4 Page 5&6 Page 7&8 Page 9&10

So apparently tonight I decided to get in full fledge craft mode. Lord knows what has gotten into me. Tonight alone I've done - Putting my invitations for the AHR in there envelopes so they only need to be addressed. Putting my pre cruise packets together. They do look so cute though! Weaved pink and blue ribbon through the organza bags for the travel lotion, shower gel and sanitizer. Atleast till I ran out of ribbon!! My computer room looks like Martha Stewarts workshop! The FI is gonna look at me like I have 10 head when he comes home from work! But today I just realized I have less then 4 months to get all this stuff done and I'm still trying to remodel the house!!! And I have a girls weekend scheduled to go away in that 4 month time! Good thing I work nights and I can either watch TV, play my DS or get this stuff done!!!

I don't think its to dark at all. I love the color combo. I decided to add chocolate brown into my color combination also I love how it makes things pop. I'd have your GM wear a light blue shirt. Also since you're not doing flowers for your girls have you thought of doing light blue parasols like these? That would add a splash of color and I think it makes the pictures more fun! I wouldn't change a thing though!

Personally I'll be changing my last name. However I think a lot of women have issues with this, more then choose to admit. Trust me, it's going to be hard after having my last name for the past 31 years!! But I really can't wait to be a Mrs. I think some women think of changing there name as loosing there identity. Myself, I'm ok with it, I just can't help of thinking down the road when we have children it will be so much easier. This way they're not confused, why does mommy have a different last name then us? I would just explain to your FI why you want to keep your own last name. I don't think men understand how much of a change and pain in the ass it is to do it!!!

So I ordered the moms and girls embroidered tote bags and spa wraps. Today I made my appt for my first fitting Jan 21!!!! Also today I received my girls personalized compacts, they're so cute!!! Slowly things are coming together!! I'm almost under the 4 month mark!!! OMG!

For more then $40 it better blow dry my hair for me while I stand there!!! I have a bed head one that I love.

See now you pack the purple bra and black sports bra and when you get back to your room, go put that stuff on under your dress and come out in your sexy lingerie!!!

Welcome!!! There is a few of us Bermuda Brides to be. For a planner I'm using Barbara from The Wedding Salon, she's a little slow on responding, but so far has been good to work with. I'm sure I'll be in contact with her more as we get closer. Resort wise, let me be the first one to say, Coco Reef is beautiful, however EXPENSIVE!!! We are personally using 9 Beaches, I love the look and it was the right price. Are you flying or cruising? Also some places depending on the people you can't get married on the beach due to it not being large enough, but a planner will be able to tell you that. GL with planning and keep us posted!!

Tammy, your sig pic is so freakin adorable!! I wanna steal her!!! Except I think my cat would eat her ><
