Jenny2014

Thanks so much! Very flattered you would consider using them!!!! Let me know if you have any issues!

We wanted to make it a little bit more of something, since my grandma is coming, and she won't be making it to Mexico (like 40% of us getting married in the first place is for her), so we are doing everything, but exchanging rings. We are saving that for Mexico- I wanted something left for Mexico. Plus, there we will be saying our own vows, plus the traditional vows again.

Can I just add, I am completely and totally envious of your hair. I wish mine was a glorious as yours! So full and thick!

There are just tooooo many posts I missed. Just spent over an hour and a half trying to catch up and I only got through 75 pages. Too much, too much. So from the bit I did read, I will definitely add myself to the & fiance club. If I hear one more (if we weren't saving for this stupid wedding, we could be well on our way to buying a house comment, I might have a bridezilla moment). My information: Jenny (Fiance: Amir) September 18, 2014 @ Dreams Puerto Vallarta From Mississauga, Ontario (just outside Toronto) We are actually having our legal ceremony this year (a year ahead of our wedding in Mexico- we will be having our symbolic ceremony on our actual one year anniversary!). So that will be on the 18th of September this year! Exciting moment for us We go in for our consultation on the 16th, and then get married at 3:00 on the 18th at city hall! Just our parents, my grandmother and his brother and girlfriend will be there. We are going out for dinner afterwards, but that's it. We were going to try to get away to NYC or the Bahama's for a mini- honeymoon, but we decided last night to get a puppy instead! (funny, because we just had a pregnancy scare, so I said that because we aren't having a baby, we are now getting a puppy instead- he said practice makes perfect- so we have successfully raised a cat for the past 7 years, now we will have a puppy, and then he said the next step will babysitting a kid for 3 weeks haha- which will be a challenge for him, but for me it will be totally fine!). Anyways, so that is our next big steps- legal wedding and a puppy! I have already asked two girlfriends to be my bridesmaids, but informally. So my next big wedding thing is to ask them officially, in a cute way, and actually upgrade one of them to matron of honour. (Since my BFF can't make my wedding because she is a teacher, and she already accepted the MOH title, which she can have for our AHR in October 2014). Deposits were due on the 20th of September, so we have 15 people confirmed, with another 5 who will be finding their own way out to Mexico. I couldn't be any happier with the tiny number of people coming. It will be intimate, small and beautiful- exactly how I want it to be! And then we get to party with everyone when we get back, so I will still get all of that love and excitement as well!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

(old post, sorry! Catching up!) Mine would be 13 letters hyphenated! Plus, a Scottish last name and a Pakistani last name hyphenated, both starting with M's, just doesn't work. (McCallum- Majid) My youngest cousin already had a baby (he is 17), and it was a boy, so I know my family name isn't lost as of yet! I will be changing my last name... but funny enough, I always go by Jenny now. But when I change it, I know I will always have to go by Jennifer. As Jenny Majid sounds funny, but Jennifer Majid sounds gorgeous Question, to you ladies who are changing your name, have you tried signing it?? I had the funniest moment a few weekends ago when I tried to do it. It was like learning to write all over again- I am going to have to figure it out, because it looked horrendous, and half the time I would end up signing McCallum half way through! So used to a longer last name, cutting it off after 5 letters seems funny!

I am going to try really hard to catch up on this board.... somehow, I have not read it since the beginning of June... and now I have 3804 posts to read! If anyone directed any questions at me, I am going to try, try to find it and answer it for you! Otherwise, I am simply going to try to catch up on all you lovely ladies, and hope I didn't miss out on anything too exciting! *settles down to read nearly 400 pages of posts*

Congrats!!!! I am so excited that we are coming around to being just over a year until we return the the beautiful Dreams resort and until we get married! Definitely going to follow you so I can see how your wedding comes out!

You will get there, I promise! I have only been on this site since November of last year and I am already at over 450 posts! The hardest is getting to 150, but once you get there, apparently you just sail right on past!

ALWAYS! It's what we are here for! Keep going girlie! You will get to exactly where you are meant to be on that day!

Haha, well not to be biased or anything, but I would agree!! Maybe not for the calm, turquoise waters and white sand beaches you get in the Caribbean, but because of the seclusion and privateness! It is simply incredible, and I cannot wait to go back in just over a year now!

No worries at all! I wish it was next month, so that way it could be done with, and we could move on to buying a house and having a baby! haha! Soon, just need to be patient! It really is crazy how fast time flies! 3 months! Soooo close!!!!

I don't think you should feel bad at all about alterations.... how much more weight do you want to lose, to get it to fit? If it's not a lot, work your little booty off to get there! And if there has to be alterations, WHO CARES! You are going to be stunning, and no one, absolutely, no one, is going to look at you and say anything negative.

I wish It's actually less then a month, and a year haha! It's not until next September! Our legal ceremony is less than a month away, but our big wedding in PV is next year!

SORRY it took me so long to reply! Gah! I intensively slaved over these for about a week solid. Worked 44 hours, and then came home and worked about 4 or 5 hours a night on them. In total, it probably took me about 70 hours from design research to sending them all out.

I was sooo worried it would be the complete opposite. But the more I thought about it, it was when I went on BC, that I started to gain weight, and my metabolism slowed waaayyyyy down. The pill literally took everything out of me- my whole personality changed, now that I am realizing I am coming back. The me I was over 10 years ago is finally back, and this is the version of me I have been trying to be this whole time, but is actually genuine! Happy, caring, loving, feeling desirable and wanted, affectionate, etc. These are all things I "told" myself I was, but never believed it all these years, because something in me had changed. It is crazy the complete alteration hormones made on me. Good for you for staying on it! I would gladly have stayed on it, as now I will be praying for Aunt Flo every month until at least next July and sex, while great, is slightly less because of needing to pause for those few moments of needing to put a condom on. HAHAHA. Only on the internet, with ladies like you who I know won't judge, would I ever share that haha. Thanks love!!!! It is really amazing how awesome and liberating it has been to be off of it. I feel the same way, I am just going to be very cautious until about next July... then, I don't really care if I am a few months pregnant for our wedding either. Awwww, babies! I am waaayyy more excited about that time in my life than the wedding. I am excited about our wedding, don't get me wrong, but making a mini- us, and experiencing all that- man, sooo excited it is closer than not for us. I cannot wait for Amir to be a Dad- I think that is my biggest excitement, is to see him become this amazing father, and that I get to be the one to make him into this amazing person. Ideally, I would like to be down to 130 for my wedding. As I am only 5'4, I figure it is the perfect weight to look the best in my dress. SOOOO far to go still, but I know I will get there. The past few weeks motivation has really kicked it up a notch. Whereas before, I could totally talk myself into NOT working out, now I need to push myself to take a day and just relax. It helps that I know I can just take an hour in the evening and go for a walk. Not only is it my downtime, me time, it's also exercise, and I don't walk slowly, so it still gets my heart rate up, which is awesome. You definitely have enough time to get to your goal, and all the work you have already put in is amazing! Have a great day yourself ladies!!!!!

Hey ladies!!!! Sorry I have been MIA for the past... month haha. Work really picked up, and we decided to go off birth control, so I have been dealing with a huge wave of emotions, etc. that has kept me pretty damn preoccupied! LOL I was on it for 10 years, so it was high time I went off... and holy eff! It's like I am a complete and total different person! I actually feel more like me, which is amazing. Plus, it has kicked up my sex drive like you wouldn't believe! and NOOO, we aren't trying for a baby, and are actively avoiding getting pregnant.... just needed to get off the hormones. HUGE benefit of going off the pill? WEIGHT LOSS. For the first two weeks off the pill, I had ZERO appetite. I lost about 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Since then, it's is still a lot less appetite/ I can ignore the hunger and actually not eat when bored/ offered food but not hungry. We also are eating a lot healthier, and I am going to the gym 3 times a week/ walking for an hour in my neighbourhood after dinner on the other nights. So, let's just say, the past 4 weeks has seen me drop around 15 pounds. Which is flipping fantastic! I haven't seen this weight, and stayed at it for more than a day or so, in over a year! I am hoping to drop to 170 by the end of August (so another 2 and a half weeks) to lose 7 pounds. Then it will be a big push to get to 150 by Christmas. And then 130 by Easter. Whole new me! hahaha! and you know you aren't lying to yourself, when people start complimenting you on how great you look. This past month has really been such a huge ego boost, added to the fact that I feel completely and totally desirable and wanted. Such a kicker!

Ha! Thank you! LOVE your name

soo... food poisoning, while it sucks... means you drop a few pounds!

Private yacht! No size limitation means I would have a palace on water! And can just go out and avoid anyone that is annoying me! Sure, you can do the same on a place.... but I would love to just sail anywhere I wanted to go Would you rather go sky diving, or scuba diving?

Awwww your dad sounds cute! It is true, it does make it easier haha. I'm sure people will be insulted/ what not but I cannot control that. We have to do the wedding our way, or we won't enjoy it! I totally agree- people go for the party! Not the ceremony! And since we are showing the video anyways, what difference does it make? What, because they didn't see it in person.... so? "The people that matter won't mind, and the people that mind won't matter!"

Thanks! Having essentially grown up together, we figure it must mean we're meant to be together! No better person than your best friend
