Being in a department full of men....let me tell you, they are the worst!!!! They complain worst than women do...lol Not many of them do anything about the weight loss though....

well no more excuses for me.....I have a 30k marathon to do at the end of March, so on with the training!!!! I totally made a pig of myself over the holidays because I knew I wouldn't be indulging again till maybe after the wedding....So goodbye to junk food and booze.....it was bittersweet, but will be worth it!!!! isy beau....I think your FI should be different from everyone else. Maybe he should have something that accents your dress and have the groosmen in pink? I stink at this kinda stuff, my MOH has a chocolat accent on her dress, so my FI will have wearing a short sleeve chocolat shirt, no tie ( he hates ties), and a suit jacket.....keeping it simple!!!!

I'm keeping mine on....I don't care if I have to take the sucker off and go for a dip, it's on!!!!!

Congrats inloveindr......you def have picked the right resort...We all can't wait to get there!!!!

just pm'ed you....

my travel agent called me today to tell me that the hotel is no longer selling the rooms at the price quoted for the wedding. My TA has to give names tomorrow, so no one else can book for my wedding.....I'm so disapointed!! there are people that were going to book, now can't unless they want to pay 2000 for double......now I only have 15 going because one person backed out, so now I don't even get the free trip!!!! so screwed for money now, don't know what I'm going to do......

we all knew that this would be a chance in taking booking a wedding down south. But in my view, when familly know over a yr in advance even before booking, they should know it's coming and make necessary adjustment to their budgets in order for them to book. It's a sore spot in all of us, in my FI familly, not a one booked except for his parents, and now the MIL is saying it's too expensive and they can't afford to come. Dwayne (FI) told his parents and 3 sisters, that if they aren't there, he's done with all of them. There isn't anyone on his side going, including friends, and I think he's embarrased of that and truly hurt.....Time will tell. You really do find out who truly cares for you in these times.... On the other hand, not everyone has the means in going. Let's be realistic. I have been blessed with a great job, parent's with money, that speaks volumes. My sister is a single mom working her a** off for a living. My mother is helping her out. She also has a great carreer. She's an R.N working full time. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if familly and friends have the mean and aren't making the effort, well to them they can go play in traffic!!! To those who are upset that they can't make it, and truly don't have the funds to go, I put my arms around them and try and make it as painless as possible for them, even though it's our day!!! I hope this has made sense.....

Congrats!!!!! enjoy your time, we are are all so anxious on hearing all about your day.....I hope you have a ton of pictures...can't wait to see them all!!!!

Had to pick one this for everyone for appetisers, main and dessert and all appetizers were seafood. blah. Oh well Resort photographers look like they will be great, will report much more wheen I get back Carolin a very good, but very busy. All the best on your wedding day....I can't wait till we see your pictures!!!! Enjoy your vacation, looking forward to hearing your review!!!! Have one for all of us at home.

i had a couple of my girlfriends come by last night, and I pulled out my dress.....it put things into perspective I guess that in the end it's him and I. It just would be nice to have a little more support I guess!!! When it comes down to it, the people that really matter will be there, especially when familly has known for over a yr now that we were doing this......

not a bad idea!!!

we have been nothing but at each other's throat lately because of the wedding.....a few people are backing out and they're on his side, and he's pissed caus none of his friends and now parents aren't going caus they can't afford it!!! It's taking the wind right out of my sails....Now we're fighting over every little thing....I'm so at the end of my rope!!!!!

I think family can be your witnesses as long as they don't have the same last name....

is that all that is needed in order to get married? We have never been married before so don't need to figure out divorce papers and that none sense....it's not too bad actually!!!

sent you a pm....

here's what my maid of honor will be wearing....

I'm having a hard time getting people to send me the response cards back.....How do I get them to send them back?

Well my boudoir weekends came and went and I had a blast.....I was a little nervous at first, and was in contact with the photog to get to know his style, and glad I did...... As far as outfits go, bring everything you own....at the last minute you might not want to wear a certain thing, or it doesn't look right that day, I'm glad I emptied my naughty drawer and brought it with me....lol It went so well that my girlfriend that let me use her house for the shoot (who own her own bussness) wants to blow a few of them up and hang them in her studio. How cool is that...she saw the raw images, the photographer is her cousin by marriage.....anyways, I will try and post the one picture I got.....remember to bring a white sheet and try this pose!!!!

I don't know if this will work of not but here goes... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...s-color-52243/

I hope everything works out and you get your photographs....what's the point of taking the time to take your pictures if the photographer isn't going to give them to you!! what a waste of time!!! If you look up boudoir photography in your area, quite a few will pop up!! We have all of our attire, for the exeption of my FI shoes, we're good to go..We picked up my HOH dress last weekend..I posted a pick of it in the wedding attire section if you want to take a look at it!! the color is awsome and it fits my sister like a glove...can't wait till it comes in I did my boudoir shoot on sunday!! it was so much fun, we had a beautiful day for it too, so we got some shoots outside at like 9, before the sun was way too brite, and before the neighor's came out....believe you me there would have been a show for them...lol We had a blast....My sister came along to do a shoot for her boyfriend, they turned out really good.....the photog sent us tasters, and I can't wait to see them all..The funny part about this, is my esthetician told me that her cousin by marriage, Chris, was looking to expand his portfolio, so we made the app. for Chris to do the photo shoot. I added him to my friends on facebook.....well he knows my FI!!!!! Chris worked with my FI a couple of yrs ago..... I would have paid money to see my face when he asked me how I knew Chris... So I told my FI that we were doing a photoshoot to promote my esthetician's bussness....he told me to keep my shirt on!!!! I laughed so hard, I can't wait till he sees the pics....what a small world!!! I can't wait to post some, as soon as I get some I'll keep you guys posted....so worth it, it makes you feel sexy and empowered all at the same time feeling naughty.....truly and awsome experience.....

thank you for all the responses....some of you made me lol!! People are constantly asking us if we're twins, too funny...anyhow I decided to go big with my sister's dress because she is the only standing with me...Love her to pieces. The dress is an Alyce Design and the color is Seafoam.....to me they should rename the color, but she's smokin!!!!
