birthday cake flavoured ice cream : something I'd like to try

Thanks again ladies. I did end up talking to my Mom and letting her know that I found it. Honestly, like I said, she's like my best friend and I talk to her almost everyday (that was one of the big reasons this hurt so much). She was upset. She let me know that she had really wanted to come, and I told her that she really didn't show it and it really hurt me. She thought that I went out to get a dress to get "revenge" on her. Either way, after a long argument over the phone, not to mention my sister talking to her, she finally calmed down and sent me a few text messages while I was at work letting me know that she was sorry for hurting me and giving the impression that she didn't care, and that she wanted to come in on Tuesday, take the day off and see the dress (and that she may cry). So yah, after a heated evening, everything is good. I'm starting thinking she's in the early stages of menopause... wow.

Sorry so I uploaded the picture my sister took. Keep in mind the dress is size 8 and I'm a 4... so it's a wee bit big... plus the top will be altered into a true sweetheart

I'm thinking I'm going to pay for my (3) bridesmaids dresses. They don't expect me to, but I think it will be nice of me to help them out. Mainly because I'm asking them to pay to come on the trip and I don't need to pay to get their hair / makeup done (my sister - MOH - is doing it for me).

Hmm... maybe you can plan some kind of activity during the day for everyone? Perhaps have appetizers and toasts prior? At least you won't feel rushed

Hey May 2011 ladies!! I bought my dress today!! SO EXCITED! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo.../index141.html

Party : Passion

Hi Kerrij! Thanks for returning to help us all! Hehe. Do you have any other wedding pictures that you could share? I'm having a really hard time finding much at all from GBP weddings.

Thanks for your advice ladies. My sister and I were going to go the beach today but since it was raining we decided to head downtown and do some shopping. We found my dress!! Sample sale $599 for a $1050 dress. Love it. Hopefully my mom doesn't take offense... *sigh* http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo.../index141.html

So my mom just texted me and bailed on wedding dress shopping for the SECOND time. This time I had even let her set the date (July 17) because the first date I had picked (weeks in advance) she was planning on going camping. THIS TIME she says she got asked to be someone's partner in a golf tournament. She's hit this stage in her life where she's come into her own skin again and is hanging out with new friends, which I'm honestly very happy for her, don't get me wrong. I'm really hurt. I want my Mom to be there, but I really don't even think she cares. When I mentioned that to her she said that she wants to be there and that I should "chill I have tons of time" and "summer is only so long (she wants to enjoy it)". The oddest part is I'm VERY close with my Mom. We talk all the time and I tell her everything. I'm seriously asking for a Saturday afternoon, is that too much? She mentioned to my sister many times that "she didn't care about her wedding" (she got married super young, and divorced soon after we were born). She doesn't seem to 'get' that this is a big deal to me... My younger sister is outraged on my behalf and thinks we should just go the two of us (or with my other 2 bridesmaids). I've honestly reached a point where I'd be fine with that but I don't want to hurt my Mom in the process, you know? Help.
