Hi Kelly Congratulations and good luck with all the planning for your upcoming wedding.

I am so sorry. My cat passed away Feb 24, 2009 at home. She was 18 as well. She actually passed away the same day my mom went into cardiac arrest. It was a horrible day. I havent been ready to get a new kitten yet. I had her cremated and talk to her everyday. Take care and hang in there.

Hi Dana Congratulations and good luck with all your planning.

Your story sounds so familiar. My fiances brother and his wife are having a baby about 10 mths before our wedding. He has said that they cant go, which really dissappointed him..he is the best man. He actually, as of now, changed his maind and said he is coming by himself, his wife and the baby will stay home. His mother is also treats her 3 sons completely unequally, at the low end of the stick is my fiance. Both the other brothers are married. Got generous gifts and there is no gift in our future. My mother passed away. I think this tops it all. It is the worst way to plan a wedding...without your mom. I have been leaning on my best friend (best friend for 18 yrs) and my sister. My future mother in law isnt the easiest person to deal with and isnt exactly the person that I want to try to lean on through the wedding process. I know how hard it is to stay positive. All I think of is how this is supposed to be the best time of my life. It is never going to happen again. Its definitely hard. Try to strong and think of what your mother would want you to have and feel. That is what is getting me through it. Whatever happens with your in laws, there is nothing that can change it. Just go with what happens. That is what I have come to accept. Good luck!

Hi Sarah Congratulations on your engagement. I am from Queens..you're my neighbor. I'm also getting married 2011, but spring. It seems so far, but will go so fast. Good luck with all your planning.

Congratulations on your decision. We are going with the ROR as well. We had looked into a bunch of other resorts and came back to the Riu. We had gone to RMB last year for a vacation and loved it.

Not sure what my fiance is dancing with his mom to, but my brother danced with my mom to "you raise me up" by josh groban, too. It was the absolute perfect song for them and josh groban has an amazing voice.

With her situation that you said, it would seem that affording the trip would be possible. She is obviously avoiding you for some reason. It has got to be a hard situation to be in, especially for knowing her for so long. Do you have any mutual friends that have spoken to her about your wedding? Maybe she has confided in another friend about why she hasn't spoken to you.

I guess everyone is different though! For me, I love it because it feels so light! I actually have been using bare escentuals for about 5 years now and love it too. I love the bisque. It is more of a cover up powder, but I use it as a foundation and finish with mineral veil. I am very pale and have some red on my face and it covers it flawlessly.

Hi I just wanted to see if there was anyone else out there that saw "This is it". This movie was like a concert! He is such an amazing and talented artist. The dancing is amazing, the music is amazing. We have truly lost an artist of no other kind.

All you can do is try to contact her, which is what you have done. Obviously something is going on. She has been your friend for 7 years. Do you know anything about her financial situation? I have one friend (I have known her for 12 years) that I originally was going to ask to be a bridesmaid in my wedding. She is a single woman, living on her own and struggling just to get by. She has continually told me that she is coming to my wedding and I know she most likely can't. I did not ask her to be a bridesmaid yet. I didn't want to put more pressure on her for her to come. You seem to have tried many ways to reach out to her with no response. I would definitely try calling her again, it is a 7 year friendship you have had. I wouldn't dwell on it much more after you reach out. There isn't much more you can do. Good luck!

Hi Nuni Congratulations on your engagement and good luck with all your planning.

So, I cleaned the dress. We actually used woolite in the washing machine in the gentle cycle. I was so amazed! It actually took out two of the big stains on the front of the dress. We then tried cleaning it with the baking soda and vinegar and then went really brave and tried oxyclean. The dress is actually just about as ivory as the dress was when my mother wore it 35 years ago. There is still one stain on the front, bottom of the dress. It isn't as dark as the others were, but is definitely noticable. We still have to see what we can do about that. Overall, the dress looks amazing! My mother would be so happy we took the chance to clean it ourselves. They were asking $1000 to clean it without the guarantee it would even work. Thank you so much for all the ideas. I think that one stain is just stubborn and I will have to live with it and figure something out. Thanks again for all the ideas and advice. My mother would be so thrilled to see her dress this way!

I heard the same thing. The disco is extra. We are planning to go with the free package. Our biggest thing is the photography. My fiance is an absolute nut about the pictures. We have to look more into Michael or possibly getting someone from off the resort. Not sure yet.
