miss di

those are so wonderful!! you can tell you worked so hard on them. great job - and thanks so much for sharing all of those links for the flowers!

i'm in! i have a terrible habit of coming home from work everyday and binge eating...a whole bag of movie theatre popcorn...any chocolate i can get my hands on...4 otter pops in a row. hahaha - i'm a pretty compulsive eater. would like to lose 10 pounds. more so than the weight, i really want to tone up. my pooch is growing. i can't do the gym. just. can't. do it. BUT - i will make an effort to follow some of the workouts on my bro's youtube channel...don't need a gym, just me and my laptop and privacy of my own home. will let you know how those work out. let's do it, ladies!!! and yes - i would love to hear about the detox as well, please! oh - and - QUIT THE BUTTS!! i'm just past 8 months now!! 12/23/08...after 13 years of smoking quit cold turkey! my advice is this: don't say you quit smoking, or your quitting smoking...when you stop, just say you're not a smoker.

cute suspender look. kinda hipster.

Google Image Result for http://bp2.blogger.com/_54AhULmDL64/SIEL3Gmj_2I/AAAAAAAABFs/l_Rn7Bp1aoE/s320/wayne_coyne.jpg probably not even the look you are going for - but i just thought these were fun!

echo2 - there are some great sites i've hit lately with fun grooms clothing - i'll post some links for you in a bit. doblauvelt - i dunno if this is the right style info...AUGUST/HEISE 10110. nothing pops up when i google it, but maybe macy's can help you. it was on clearance so i'm assuming it is past season. we found it in the hugo boss red label boutique-y part of the store.

i just stumbled across this crazy website full of tons of templates - particularly good for those of you asking how to make monograms - there are links to tutorial sites. also great info on speeches, random crafts, etc... have fun! DIY Wedding: crafts, templates and Links - Windows Live

attached is a .pdf file of a peso. i left the bleed on there...you can always crop it out. maybe someone will get some good use out of it - could make for a fabulous luggage tag... Pesos.pdf

alright, lady - these pictures really suck (bad lighting - ugh!!)...i sense some urgency in your posting voice...hehe...if you have coupons, dude GO TO MACY'S NOW!! this suit was 50% off, and there were only 2 left - 1 of which was humongous. even the one we got, his pants are huge and have to be taken in a few sizes (he's got a binder clip on in the pix. lol) i will make the FI put the suit on at home and take better pictures to post for you guys. if i get motivated when i get home, i'll take a nice pic of it on hanger next to my dress to see how the white/ivory looks.

love the colors, scubadiva!! very pretty selection of dresses...going to make for some great photos!

here is a stunning orange dress for you orange/aqua brides! this is a possibility for my officiant. it's soooo pretty! Diane von Furstenberg "Hava" Stretch Satin Dress - Solids - Bloomingdales.com

awwww! i love them, too! you look beautiful...where were they taken?

oooooooh, erin! i would looove to see pix of your goodies! what else are you putting in your OOT bags? thanks so much for the beach towel site - that is bookmark worthy, for sure! did i already ask you...how many ppl are you inviting? sunday was a SUCCESS!!! so, i'm totally the girl that was all "yea, we're gonna go casual...put him in a pair of pants and a shirt..." ummmm, riiiight. thank you thank you macy's men & home (50% off)!! the second aaron put on that white hugo boss suit...i think i creamed my pants. HA - seriously, he looked so hot - no way in hell was i going to have him wear anything else! still need to get a bold and beautiful shirt to wear under, but that should be easy. theory has a gorgeous teal button down, but it was too short for his torso. pictures to come, i promise!! i'll have a lil photoshoot soon. my dress is ivory, but i'm not too worried about the white on ivory thing, especially because i'm throwing so many colors in the mix. also, erin, thank you so much for the compliment on the invites...i read your post on that thread - you are so sweet!! if you want some poop stickers of your own, that can be arranged. hehe. the ducks and goggles started at a friend's wedding about a year ago...she said they were having a photobooth at the wedding and there was no way in hell i was travelling all the way to texas without props for the pictures! a large bag of costumes (wigs, masks, etc) in tow...and aaron and i just each flocked to the duck mask and the goggles. ever since those are our go-to props for all of our parties! teehee. caribbeanlover - i've never heard of clasy or moore's here in the bay area or in socal. maybe it's similar to kohl's or loehmann's?

it is fantastic!! great job - that compass is such a perfect image to have. the colors look really good, too!

thanks, paul! that is a lot of terrific advice!! will definitely bring along a tripod. you've given me a reality check about the amount of time it will take to cut it all together - i wasn't thinking about the HOURS of footage (from multiple cameras) we'll have to deal with!! yikes. it'll be something to keep me busy for months, that's for sure!! thanks again for the great things to keep in mind when planning for this project!

...something about us bay area folk. i, too, would be interested in finding a karaoke rental to have in the villa for our guests to get crazy with...please let us know if you found a rental! thanks!

any of you past brides that did a TTD...was your dress a whole lotta tulle by chance?? i'm curious to know if the sand will shake out of an all tulle dress as easily as a more smooth, less "holey" gown. thoughts?

i have noooo idea, really. i'm going to have him try on both the suit-look and the more casual, linen or khaki pants with a nice shirt. it's like - there are so many and so few options all at the same time!! aaargh. frustrating!!

WOW. talk about a picture to take your breath away. those are absolutely incredible. stunning. your photographers are lucky to have been your photogs - those pictures will be a major addition to their portfolio.

beautiful! that is amazing - i've never seen anything like that!!

man i loooove fridays. having a night in - the FI is out with friends and i am dominating the couch. this sunday i am going shopping with the boy to find his clothes! UGH. i can already tell you that this is going to be difficult. will for sure check out those kenneth cole shirts, though! so not looking forward to it. i hate shopping when there is something specific in mind. i posted my invites today: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t48403 can't wait to send them out in a few weeks!

i like number 2 for the STDs. it's a little more clear to read. but i love the background design of starfish and shells you used for number 1 - maybe you can use that as the ticket jacket pattern? good job!

i don't think that is cheesy at all!! that's super sweet of you.
