Yay! I'm sooo excited for you!

That dress is perfect on you!!!!!! It's soooo beautiful!

I absolutely LOVE your hair dark! -It just brings out your features more. And I LOVE<LOVE>LOVE your hair inspirations!!!!!! You really can't go wrong with any of them! ***Now me being selfish, how can I go about saving those photos for myself? I read about putting things in a file? I just don't know how. You are going to look BEAUTIFUL!

FI and I just did it! Thanks! As if it's not bad enough that they call our home phones, they want to call our cell too

I'll be in Mexico otherwise I would say we should have a Chicago get together while you are here. I've lived here my whole life too, and there are so many Chicago related things I haven't done. Going to see the Oprah show is a big one. I always wished I could get on the giveaway shows. Awwww too bad you won't be in town! But U missy have bigger & better things to do! You're getting married!!!!! woohooo I'm definitely going for a couple of days. We are going to make it a fun, girls night out! Drinks will be involved! It's been sooo long, I'm ready!!!

Honestly, I have no clue! We went to Paris 2 years ago I had such a wonderful time. I've always wanted to go to Rome!!! So you see, we can do what he wants (Amsterdam) & still make room for something I want to do too! How long do you think we would need out there?

Awwwww, what a sweet engagement story! I love it! You have a wonderful FI! And the Eiffel Tower was purple!?! How cool is that!? Congratulations!

It's more than cheese and windmills I'd say make a Eurotrip of it. (Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona or Rome) Well if you need help when planning your trip, don't hesitate to ask. I would love to help you plan your trip to Amsterdam/Europe WoW! That would be great!!!!! I've pretty much made ALL the wedding decisions so I think that the least I can do is surprise him with Amsterdam/Europe trip!! OMG he would totally flip!!!! I think that's exactly what I'm going to do!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is but you set a new date!! Yay! I was wondering what you guys decided! Now about your invites, I have no clue on what to advise you to do! Sorry! But I'm super excited ur moving forward with everything!

Hmmmmm definitely going to be way tooooo hot in Las Vegas for that! Has she told her bridesmaids of this? I know my bridesmaids would not think twice about letting me know the cons of wearing long, black dresses in the middle of summer!

Hi Chanella! to the forum!!!!!! We are getting married April 25, 2009 in Puerto Rico & my FI would like to honeymoon in Amsterdam!!!!!! He's always wanted to visit!

My suggestion to you though would be to get your dress made by a local designer. I went through the problem of not finding "the dress" and finally gave up. I'm soooo much happier knowing I'll be getting exactly what I want... and I don't need the designer label to love my dress. That's a great idea! I know it's hard but remember you only do this once in your life and you need to enjoy!

Here is a picture of our 5 month labradoodle Rusty. He is the sweetest thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the first thing my FI said, "why don't u go to the show where she gives everything away?" --Oh, okay sure let me call her & schedule that! ha!

My bestest friend lives downtown Chicago. He called me the other day & said that he was invited by a friend to the Oprah show and Beyonce is the guest! What about your friend in San Antonio!?!?!? I told him I was happy for him but also jealous because I'm beginning to feel like Gabrielle on Desperate Housewives minus the two kids. With all of the wedding expenses I've cut down on hair & nail appointments, no massages,no shopping,etc.. Of course I am exaggerating, but I kinda feel like Gabrielle! Anyhoo, he just called me today and asked me what I was doing November 12 (or did he say 11th?) before I could asnswer he said, "biatch you are going with me to the Oprah show!" WOOOHOOOO! I knew there was a reason I picked him to be my Man Of Honor! I'm soooooo excited, I wanted to share it with you girls! Now what the hell am I gonna wear? I need to make my hair appointment?! This is going to be a great girl event! I love him!!!!!!

I definitely want a BD shoot too!!!! Please let me know if you girls find out anything....
