Good Luck!!! Have fun!

Congrats and welcome!

I have to agree that i think the goal you have is "crash diet" material and doesn't sound to healthy. Maybe try to focus on slimming inches instead of pounds? Consuming lots of lean proteins, whole grains and veggies will help. Also try to cut back on the whole grain "carb" factor to bfast aka have an oatmeal with fruit etc. and pick either lunch or dinner to have your second (not do both). I think simple things like sub-ing white potato for a sweet potato, using flat breads like Wasa Crispbread instead of regular bread and eating brown rice instead of white make a huge difference. Hope this makes sense and helps! ...

Happy Planning! Welcome!

Oh god. Not in this position but id probably be inclined to go with 2 separate invites just to kinda keep everything apart. I love the suggestion of a picture invite sounds really cute and i think you can make them cheap at places like Costco image centers etc. Wishing you the best of luck with your plans!

Ya, Dollar Tree RULES!

Yup! FI is a total geek hahaha! I tell him every day 2 lol! His jokes, everything its like honey your such a nerd! lmao!!! He is actually really social for a nerd but his got that geek vibe to everything he does! Its adorable i love it!

WTF!!! Omg so sorry to hear you went through that! IS there anyway you can take it somewhere else to be taken in and fitted? Honestly i think that is a ridiculous amount to pay for alterations and the service doesnt deserve the payment either. I agree with everyone else that you should try and find another seamstress to take care of your dress..

Very different! And absolutely gorgeous! Gratz!!!

There are many of these sites. This is the thread where I posted my experience with Landy Bridal and where alot of women have reviewed the websites and posted some pictures as well. Hth!

Those seem awesome!!!!

I think its absolutely gorgeous!

Very cool and fun! Good luck with your dress hunting! Maybe you can actually find something to fit your budget there!

Good luck its gorgeous!

Anyone have a really good website that they can share for DIY Flower Girl Baskets and Ring Pillows? Im looking for something beachy like pillows in a seashell or something along those lines! Thanks for your help ladies!

Lol those are great! I wish I had your height girl!!! My goodness ull be super comfy in those!!!

Congratulations! Welcome to the forum!

Holy Cow 2090!! lol jk!! Congrats and welcome to the forum tons of great advice and awesome ladies here!

So sorry to hear that .. People sometimes come around and change their minds. A DW is always hard as far as who's coming and who says initially that they wont come and then end up showing up. Honestly if a DW is what you want i would just say to go for it and the people who can be there will be there..

For your younger cousin...could he be incorporated in some other way in the wedding...like being an usher or doing a reading. I guess it comes to whats going to be more difficult for you...haivng him in your wedding party or upsetting your aunt. Could you maybe have your mom talk to your Aunt and mention you want to keep the BP super small... Good luck! Try not to let this ruin your planning process! I agree with this wholeheartedly. You need to do what you need to do for your wedding and to make it a day for you. I understand that you dont want to hurt anyone but it is also a fact that your wedding has to be what you dreamed it to be because it is your day.

This work out is definitely kick in a rear! I exercise regularly for 2 hrs a day hard core and this DVD still kicks my butt! Edited to say that the Boost your Metabolism one is also great!

Its actually a Demetrio's Destination dress.. When i went to buy it in the store the price completely turned me off but although its not THE dress its close to perfection for me!! Oohhh sending great vibes your way on your dress!!

K check now!

No way seriously!! OH NO!!! urgh i can see them for some reason!
