 You may have just talked me into getting these.  I have been thinking about it...but I just haven't.  Though, now I'm saying that about a lot of things!

I really like them Erin, way more than the crest ones, although I havent tried the new crest one thats like a one time 2 hour thing, has anyone tried that one yet?

Lisa - interesting to hear your review on your whitening!! I think I told you all a while back how my new dentist gave me free whitening??? anyway, it was a take-home kit -- pro-syner.something lol.. i think i tried it for 3 days in a row.  the last day i used it, some got on my gums and they started burning and turned WHITE!!!!  that was 3 weeks ago and I haven't used it since. they did also make my teeth really sensitive. I was drinking everything with a straw for 3 weeks..... i do notice a difference though and am contemplating doing it again at least twice more before the trip

You ladies have inspired me to take action on the AHR... I just put a venue on hold for June 18th!! I'm tired of waiting for my FI so I googled away and completely lucked out!! I found a venue with an outdoor gazebo that we can use for a champange brunch!! They specialize in weddings (they have like 10 halls) so everything we need can be taken care of on site. We will be having about 50 people, and I think I can swing the whole thing for under two grand!!

 

I was hoping to use a picture from the wedding for the AHR invites but do you girls think that will be enough time? I'm assuming I can get them out the second week of May, which is a month in advance.... ah I don't know!!!

Good for you Meg!!!

although a month in advance might not be enough time for some people ???? i know our friends/family are so busy nowadays that we're trying to get our AHR invites out before we leave for Jamaica asking for rsvp by May 28 ... our AHR is June 25

Meggers that's amazing. I would love an AHR like that.

 

Lisa, I'm thinking something involving the secret or mystery surrounding Caramilk. I just bought one for inspiration so hopefully it helps. At least it tastes pretty good.

 

Erin, I hope you find new shoes. I'm still waiting for my "new" dress to ship so I'm holding off on my shoes.

The AHR invites are coming along, FI is a HUGE help even though 2 hours later we only have about 20 done LOL!!!!!  Im so glad hes a perfectionist, they are turning out great!!

 

[Brandy]

Thats so great Meggers!! Your AHR sounds so amazing!

FI & I had an awesome meeting with our photographer today. She's incredible. I love her. She has a friend who shot a wedding in Jamaica and he gave her tons of pointers & ideas. Her plan for our TTD involves a full day of pretty much touring the island. We're going to the other side (South Side) where there is a gorgeous waterfall that isn't as touristy as the ones nearby the resort, and maybe getting some horse pics, then driving around to Negril to some gorgeous beaches... from 10am to sunset the day after. I'm so pumped. It's awesome to see her so excited too! It puts me at such ease.

 

44 days until we leave. Craziness. I'm trying to get all of my design stuff done but I always end up working on my freelance projects and my OWN wedding projects are falling behind! Ahh!! The biggest "waiting game" I'm playing is that I can't print or finish anything really until I hear from my one friend. I know I posted it about it MONTHS ago but my BEST FRIEND moved to Australia on a whim with her BF for a year or so. Well they've extended their trip and even though she said she'd be at my wedding no matter what when I asked her to my BM, things changed quickly. I doubt she's going to come. Like 99.9% sure she won't be there. She already pretty much told me they can't afford it because they're traveling around, which is understandable, whatever, I'm sad, but I'm over it... the issue is that she is avoiding it because she doesn't want to hurt my feelings and let me down. I told her the VERY latest she needed to tell me was a month before we left (March. 23rd). If she was any other guest it wouldn't hold anything off, but because she's supposed to be my BM (I have her dress hanging in my closet and everything), I can't print the programs, I can't buy my BM gifts, etc. Ugh. Fun!

 

I don't know... nothing to do with the above paragraph but I've been feeling pretty down lately... anyone else in the same boat? I thought I'd be super excited at this time but I'm more down in the dumps than anything. I'm just telling myself it's all the stresses building up on me and I'll get over it.

They turned out great Brandy!

I'm so not jealous that you have to plan an AHR ! I can't imagine the extra stress!!
