I wonder what his motivation for dating Annie is... so strange. Definitely not cool that he sold out Teddy!! He seems like he has some genuive feelings for Silver! And yes...Jasper...total creep-show!! Quote: Originally Posted by carly Yeah, Jasper is totally creepy and I hate Jen too! I hope that biotch is gone forever. I actually like Ivy, but I like that Naomi and Liam are back together more. I'm not a huge Dixon fan. There's something Bubba Gump-ish about his face that just turns me off. And he's like so Carlton in his style and I feel like it doesn't fit. To pull off all those vests and crap you need to have a skinny body. Not that he's fat, but he's fit and that style just doesn't go with his body. OMG yes!! I couldn't put my finger on it...but that is exactly it! He irritates me!

Oh...and I can't forget about my new favorite...The Christmas Carol (chestnust (aka jeff's nuts) roasting on an open fire)

You didn't know!?? They had a memorial for him at the school at the beginning of the season...Jasper was there....that's where Jasper & Annie met. And I'm so happy for Naomi & Liam! I'm not a huge fan of ivy! I hope Jen is completely out of the show now too - I hate her!!

It's not that people don't care about you...but sometimes other things take priority. And you have to remember that when it comes to a DW...a lot of people are idiots, and don't really comprehend that it's a "real" wedding!! On the flip side, you have to realize that when planning DW you are not going to get the support you would normally get and you have to roll with the punches. This will likely not be your last disappointment before the wedding. And I know I'm one of those "all ready married" people but that's why we are still around - to help out the brides to be get through these hurdles. Sometimes you will get comments you don't like...but for the most part, you will get comments that help you get through...and that's what BDW is all about! Good luck with the rest of your planning!

Wow...intense thread!! I can see both sides. Yes...you are being selfish...but also, you are hurting because you are not getting the support from your family that you need either. I have a question, are you really close with this aunt? Do you have a bond with her that you don't have with your other aunts?

I'm in Kitchener!!! There's a thread for SWO (Southwestern Ontario) Brides/Wives already here if you're interested in joining it! It's been pretty inactive lately, but it's just sitting there ready to be reactivated!!

Yay Shelley!! I can't wait to get my BD book...and see you again of course!!!

That reminds me...I had Santa baby as my ringtone last Christmas - I think it's time to break it out again!!!

I liked The Other Boelyn girl. I read it quite a while ago now. I don't think I loved it...but I definitely enjoyed it! Then again, I enjoy pretty much any book I read!

I'm so sorry to hear this Kathy. I will keep your family in my thoughts.

Holy smokes sammysgirl! There is a lot going on in that song!! YouTube - Straight No Chaser - 12 Days of Christmas I don't know if I could listen to that again! I'm exhausted just listening to it! lol YouTube - Straight No Chaser - The Christmas Can-Can Wow...and they're not just funny! They do a great job on Stand by Me! YouTube - Straight No Chaser - Stand By Me Thank you so much for letting me know about these guys! They are great!

I did a search & I can't believe there's not a thread on this already!! Well - I'm just sitting here wrapping some presents & listening to some Christmas music when I thought to ask all the desties what their favorite Christmas song is! I grew up helping my mom wrap presents to Bing Crosby so he is my all time favorite Christmas song singer. I think my favorite of his is Mele Kalikimaka. It's the Hawaiian Christmas song. Now...I am now where near Hawaiian, but it's always been a favorite of mine since I've been a kid! It just has a really fun beat I guess...and mele kalikimaka is really fun to say!! lol Oh...and I can't forget O Holy Night! The lady in our church choir used to bring me to tears & give me goose bumps when she sang it at Christmas Eve mass!! So what's your "must listen to" Christmas song?

It's been on my to read list for longer than I care to admit. If you enjoy the Twilight books, check out this link here once you've at least read the first, you won't be sorry. Quote: Originally Posted by ~*Kathy*~ Jenn - awww I wish she would finish and publish Midnight Sun, I like it better than Twilight personally. I have to read Interview with a Vampire still too but I bought it a while ago, just need to get around to it! OMG Ladies!!! You have to read the vampire chronicles!! I finished reading all 9 books a few years ago! Maybe it's time for a re-read since I"m in between books right now! Ok - & I just looked up the list to post & there are 10 books!! I wonder if I mis-counted what I read...or if I missed one! They all sound familiar to me! I guess it's time to dig them all out again! (They are still packed away in a box from our move a year ago! lol) And here's the link...http://www.annerice.com/Bookshelf-Va...les.html...and in her quote she says 11 books. Now I'm confused!

Everything looks fantastic Autumn!!! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!!!!

Sweet!!! That's awesome Natasha! So I have real larimar (check)...rain on my wedding day (check)...I'm in for some good luck then!!! lol

I used vistaprint too - just over $1 an invite I think...but I got plain envelopes, and I didn't get the linen finish. I also used them for my TY cards, return addy labels - and with my last order I even got some magnetic note pads (for personal use...not wedding!)

I think on our invites & STDs it was bride then groom...but when I sign anything from us now (cards, TY cards, etc) it depends on who it's going to - if it's his family, his name goes first...if it's my family, then my name goes first. If it's mutual friends then I think I usually put mine first! So, in short, I say do whatever looks & sounds best. That's the great thing with DW...you can through tradition & etiquette (some anyway!) out the window!! lol

But I think the anklet might make more sense cuz as Amanda said it might clash with the flowers. Plus I went to pick up my ring today and saw a really nice pendant and earrings that would match perfectly with it! Mine is the higher end as well - DH got mine from Harrison's which is the "larimar jewellery store" at the resorts. It cost about $300 for the pendant & chain I think.
