Woodsylou- I have the same date as you!! How are you holding up? I am stressing a bit but I am feeling better now that my OOT bags are done. Those were a lot of work! Whew! I pick up my dress today! I left the alterations for as long as I could because I was losing alot of weight (thank goodness).

Are you all ready? What do you have left to do?

I think I just need to get ready for the trip now - the wedding stuff is all done (I think).

12 days now !!!!! :)

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Hello date twin!!

 

well done on the weight loss, how much have you lost?

 

i am a ball of nervous energy today, can't sleep, can't eat, can't do anything! but im soooooooo excited!

 

most stuff is now done, i'm picking my dress up Sat (same as you, losing weight so had been putting it off!) and my H2B get's his shirt and his ring tomorrow.

 

the only things left are little things. you know? call xyz, pick up some holiday clothes from the dry cleaners, don't forget to pack mossi spray etc.

 

I am sooooooo excited!!

I'm also July 30th.. woo hooo.. I'm still putting together my OOT bags. I think I took on more than I thought.. haha..

[Woodsylou]

ohhhhh Aruba! how lovely! have you been before? where was your Bacherlorette party? looks ace!

 

what are you doing for your OOT bags? x

[dawnkyeknod]

AJ - Yah, those OOt bags were something. I was buying things for it for months. I also made little tags for each little bag inside (To have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, to love and to cherish).

My FI did read about the mosquitos today on the palladiumaddicts site. I will have to go and get some extra spray. we went to GP last July and we didnt have any but I guess there are some there now. Better to be safe than sorry.

Since February (when I ordered my dress) I have lost almost 30 pounds. It was hard but it was worth it. I didnt want to have any regrets when I looked at my pictures. I am 41 years old too (my 2nd wedding- the right one, this time) so it was even harder to lose. My metabolism isnt what it used to be and working out was not easy...

When I went to try on my dress for the last fitting she had to take it in over 2 1/2 inches (and when I ordered it , it was 1 size too small) Yay!

Woodsylou - I saw how great you look on your planning thread. Good for you!

Well, I will be here if you 2 (my date twins ) want to chat - and anyone else LOL

[Woodsylou]

wow! 30lbs well done! that's an amazing achievement! how have you done it?

 

i don't know how bad the mosquitos are, but always best to be prepared. we use some stuff called Mossi Milk (I think) which is meant to be good. it needs to have a high concentrate of Deet.

We've been to Aruba a few times and love it!! We are getting married on Renaissance Island and I can't wait!!
My Bachelorette party was actually on a "Murder Mystery Cruise" out of Boston. It was a blast!!

My OOT bags have a wedding week survival kit/hangover kit, pasmina's, sunglasses, playing cards, flip flops, a welcome book, bookmarks that we made and a welcome book. Once I finish them I'll do a planning thread with all the pics. I felt like I've been cutting and putting them together forever!! haha
