It gets stressful at times but I bet when we all look back on it come wedding day we won't even remember half the things that stressed us. Don't worry girl you only have 4 months to go....we've gotta all hang in there together!

Thanks for sharing! Loved your slideshow!

Oh no that sucks! I have a few friends who have been hacked on facebook. I try to not log on except from my phone and I change my password on everything frequently cause I am always fearful of something like this happening. Good thing no one fell for it and they called you first. Those hacker scum bags!

Welcome to the forum. Happy planning!

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Happy planning!

Congrats on booking and welcome to the forum. Happy planning!

Anytime! Just be sure to save some of those creative ideas for yourself and keep your ideas for your wedding hush hush.

Everything looks fantastic!! All of your hard work shows. I especially like your invitations...your friend did a great job! I tried checking out the website but wasn't working. Your guests are going to love everything and you're going to have a fabulous time. Good luck!!!!

Andrea I can't believe your time is nearly here already! Wow, how time flies! I can't wait to see pics of your dress....and read your planning journal!!!

If it turns out that way, I could see why you would think that she would be uncomfortable. But I'm sure she understands as well that you guys just met recently and does not in any way expect to be a bridesmaid! I agree with MDLady...your bridesmaids should be those close to you.

Wow! I just had to read through this post because I witnessed something sort of similar with a friend of mine. They are twins, one was getting married and the other didn't know how else to steal the spotlight so she announced she was pregnant....which she wasn't at the time. She didn't show up to to ceremony to be her sister's MOH but she did show up to the reception announcing she was pregnant. Long story short they didn't speak for 1 year. Twins! Sad! I know that your sister acted wrongly and a bit selfish but I do hope that somewhere in all of the madness she can realize what she did and though she can't change it now, perhaps she can step up to the plate of being there for you and going above and beyond. Don't fault her for not giving ideas...not everyone is creative and perhaps compared to the ones you have given her, she may think hers are poor. I hope in the end you both have your special days...with your own memories and each with its own uniqueness. And maybe a long well deserved family vacation can be planned where you both take your mom on vacation to make up for her 60th (because with both your weddings mom certainly has her hands full). In the end I know its tough but it will work out. I just hope it works out amicably. Good luck!

Thanks Karen. I really really fell for the way your looks in your pics and have been looking into getting this. But I am thinking of getting just white since I am afraid the purple won't match my colors and I can't seem to just order a sample of one shell. Thank you so much for the inspiration cause I showed it to FI and he loved it as well. Now I just have to figure out how to get it down there and see when they will have it in stock.

I think its a great idea. I saw it posted in something I was reading blissful events, or blissful weddings or something and I thought it sounded like such a creative and unique idea. The picture they showed was someone that used it for their vow renewals. I say go for it! It'll be fab and post pics of course!

Welcome there are tons of ideas just check out the registry, oot bags thread or you can always do a search. Good luck!

Congrats and welcome. Happy planning!

Wow seems like you have quite a decision on your hands. I am sure that brides from each of those places can lend some advice and help you narrow it down. Welcome and happy planning!

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Happy planning!

Thanks ladies for all of your advice and I will be sure to post pictures....Stay tuned!!! I'm glad it all worked out Kelly...now if we could just fast forward time to see those pics! Lol!

Rule #1 in planning a DW guests will always complain about price.....always. I think Bride2Be21 is right your wedding is in April and there is still time for the prices to drop. If they want to be a part of it they will. We announced our wedding over a year in advance and mostly family complained...not friends. Guess what? They all were too excited to let us know they booked and were able to find affordable flights. Your guests still have time for flights to go down....but you must also prepare yourself that not everyone will make it, but the two most important people will...you and FI.

Congrats Andrea and welcome to the forum. Good luck and happy planning!

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear you are going through this! I agree with everyone else the store needs to fix this. Even if you signed a piece of paper, come on your are far enough away that they can order another dress. And what is with the woman telling you that you need to lose weight?!?! Some one should report her to a supervisor! Like seriously....WTH?!?! I hope everything goes well tomorrow. Definitely check the size and keep us posted! Good luck!
