That is awesome!!

Oh dear good luck please update us and let us know what happens.

Good luck with that! I am worried enough about having to use the onsite photographer I can't imagine using my Mother!!Yikes!

Congrats!! Send some good luck my way!

We have received all ours back but my FI's brother. They are distant but thought for sure he would be there.Both parents are deceased and really they are the only family they have. My FI is really hurt and I want to do something but what I have only met him twice and the second time I was by myself at a drug store and all he could say was he is my family but we will never be close if he needs me he knows were I am at. Seriously..... wow!

I got engaged in Jan. and planned our wedding in Mexico immediately. I was laided off in May and then lost my job in Aug. I was totally not expecting to lose my job as I thought once the auto plants went back to work so would I. lol well I guess my boss thought myself and a few others were paid too much and he could not afford us anymore so.... Anyway, in Ontario Canada we have a program called Second Career were the government will pay for you to go back to school and be retrained in another career. I have been waiting since Aug, to go back to school and was scheduled to start Nov. 9th but now they say the program may be broke. So now with 2 weeks until my wedding I do not know what I am gonna do when I return. Christmas will be right around the corner,will they even be companies looking for employees now?? Thank goodness I have unemployment until May. I am going crazy sitting at home and though I never thought I 'd say this I MISS WORKING!!!

Okay need to vent about my cousin. To date she has already told me: 1) I was inconsiderate in scheduling my wedding in Nov. when most people work. 2) I was inconsiderate to schedule my wedding shower on the same date her father-in-law had his 90th birthday 3) I was inconsiderate in having my wedding in mexico when I knew she was afraid to fly. 4) Told me she is not going as I did not invite her children and if her children do not travel with her she does not go. Her kids are 24 and 21 and both out of the house! Today on my sister-in-laws face book my SIL wrote something exicting about the wedding and my cousin wrote "just make sure you bring your bullet proof vests" Seriously!!!! WTF is wrong with this woman? By the way I stood in her wedding 25 years ago and never remember ever saying anything nasty about the UGLY $300 dresses she made us buy and wear!!!

My thoughts are with you please keep us updated.

Oh dear I did not realize I would have to explain my confessions but here goes... Distrust issue - well at the very, very begininning of our dating relationship my FI did cheat on me. It was very upsetting we did a lot of talking and finally got to a place where we felt on solid ground and continued dating. I still am fearful of that happening again and have my antenna's up ALL the time which probably is a problem if you check out some of my other threads. My Father cheated on my Mother a lot before he finally left her and somehow I feel deep down it will happen again. The tied down to one person does not scare me as that is what I really want. BUT can it happen?? My period well... yes it is regular but I will be 43 in Dec. and I just can't see raising a child being this old. I know "43 is not that old" but for me I think I have passed my time. My Fi is 38 and I think he would want a child if I would but says he is happy either way. I am currently laid off and can't find a job(I am too over qualified) and my self esteem is 0. So the self doubt plays into that too. I also have gained probably 40 pounds since my FI and I started dating(he has too) which makes me feel like crap but can't seem to get motivated to lose it not even for my wedding in 29 days!!! My Fi is not the most talkative guy, he is good about everything but just says, I am perfect the way I am, don't worry about a job it will come etc... So my confessions I think were just a way of me admitting them out loud. I do need some therapy I think but no money to pay for it right now ;-) So thanks for listening and I am sure you are sorry you asked now,probably to much information for you.

October 13 340pm waiting for my FI to get home to have "a serious talk" :-(

After all I am just a girl standing in front of a both asking him to love her? I think that is it from Notting Hill I say who, I say _____, I say ______ .

dislike house work?

We did a taco bar for my shower and our caterer charged $6 a person we had a blast with it and all the women loved it! We also had a groom pinata and I was surprised at how many women got up take a shot at it. The older women had the most fun!! Good luck with your AHR we have to pass on one as I am laid off and this wedding is really the end of our funds. I will read these posts and live through all of you!! Have fun!!

This is a cool idea but no we are driving ourselves :-(

laundry - pile

I do not like my sister in law I read my FI emails I am seriously terrified to get married I am going to have my period on my wedding day and honeymoon I want to have a baby but am too old now I need therapy

Yes I love to dance so i would start the party no problem!! Would you ever tell a family secret you knew would hurt the person you told?

50 and beautiful but I am now 42 so I would have to get to start over again!!!

My future in laws are both deceased so in a way I am abit envious bitchy or not. Though I do feel your pain and am sorry she is such a downer. I have a very close cousin who told me my wedding in Mexico was an inconvenience and it was rude of me to have a wedding in Nov. when "normal" people are working. Guess what.... she has decided not to come, thank goodness. Anyway hang in there play cheerful and stupid with her and pretend nothing she says bothers you. Maybe then she will give in and be happy!

Sorry to say it is sunny and 55 her today. I hate the snow unless it is Christmas eve and christmas day!!

I have a sister in law very similar so I feel your pain. I really don't know how to help other than tell her thanks but no thanks. I am having a hard time with mine so being nice is wearing thin with me and actually making me sick inside, hope you find a middle ground with her.

Hmm... sounds familiar in my life also. I would let her go. Life is to short to let self absorbed people get the better of you. When you really needed a friend she was not there for you. You are happy now and moved on let her move on too! I have a very,very small circle of friends but I know I can count on them, good,bad,happy or sad. take care of you

My FI's parents have both passed away and I am going to get a white handkerchief with his parents initials embroidered on it. He can carry it in his pocket and also use it to catch his tears as they would when he was a child. I am crying just thinking about it and I know he will love it.

Ok ladies I need to be talked away from the edge. My DH works with and ex girlfriend. Today as I put his lunch into his lunch bag I found an old football ticket stub in his lunch bag. I know this was a game ticket he and she had gone to as she is a fan of the opposing team. I asked him why he had it and he said a "friend" at work ask him for it? Seriously "a friend" I told him I knew who and why after all these years would a) she ask for it and he still have it to give her He blew up saying he was gonna marry me in a month why would I even think something inappropriate might be going on and that she collects old ticket stubs. I cried saying I know women and what they will do to get a man. My brother got married several years ago and his exgirlfriend who was already married sent him a letter 2 days before the wedding saying she would leave her husband if there was still a chance for them. Two days before the wedding!!! So yes I am paranoid and it seems everything is freaking me out lately. I saw that he became friends on facebook with another ex girlfriend just days ago. What is doing or trying to say to me or am I over reacting. He says I am over reacting but am I or am I being very aware?? Help me ladies as I said we have less than a month and I want to make put this issue to rest or blow it open depending. There are so many other things I would like to be doing than acting like an obsessed jealous woman. thanks for any words of wisdom you can pass along.

Yes I agree there is a whole website set up called the unoffical barcelo and there is all the wedding info you you can imagine both photo and site location. You will really enjoy it.
