    Thanks ladies.. you are right. I need to not freak out, but the issues with my mother wont' just easliy go away. I love her to death but her control issues cause fights between us often, and not just about the wedding. *sigh* Just something i've always dealt with. WHen i was engaged before (we didn't get married and split up..) she didn't speak to me for almost a month because i wanted to get married at the beach. Apparently I was being selfish! LOL I get ONE day and I was being selfish.

    We are fine now, but I have to walk on eggshells around her with my wedding planning.

    Hi ladies! I'm getting married on 9/28/13! Trying to stay motivated so that I have "Michelle Obama arms" for my wedding! For working out, I use 2 things to track my progress and to keep me motivated. I have a Nike Fuel band and I also use the Nike+ app on my iPod nano for running on the treadmill. I have a profile on Nike and it helps to see my progress and having a chart showing when I worked out etc. It makes me motivated to try to fill up my week with workouts just so I don't have a "blank" day on my chart. The fuel band is also nice because it basically calls you out on being lazy. I have a goal of 3000 points everyday and in order to hit it i HAVE TO workout. My weakness, snacking on junk my fiancé brings in the house!!

    B - Have you made your invitations yet? I was thinking about getting some from Michael's as well but I wanted to know how well they print, are they easy to assemble, etc. Let me know! :)

    No... we haven't printed them yet! Probably won't print them until about a two months before the wedding incase any information changes between now and then!! They look great and i'm sure they will print fine~

    It's not September but I am getting married 5th November this year.. Im a size 16/18 now more towards 16 and I bought a size 12 dress. I've lost 12lbs up to now just got another 68 to go.

    I can't wait I used to be a size 8/10 when I was younger and felt great I want to be that size again.. And as im 5'3 it's within the healthy weight mark so not too skinny.

    I could do with some support.. In fact a lot of support!

    Hello Emma!!! I too have some weight I want to lose. I have 14 lbs to my goal weight. My dress is a 12, and fits PERFECT right now, but I want to look great on my honeymoon, so i'm still aiming to lose weight. If the dress needs altered, so be it!

    Stag and Doe is a fundraiser for the engaged couple. People buy a ticket to attend. Than you sell drinks their, you sell raffle tickets for prizes, we'll have lots of games people can pay to play with prizes as well. Hopefully we have lots of people atten and we can get some money to help pay for our wedding or honeymoon :)

    Omg! I need a buddy or something! My wedding is September 1. And I ordered my dress one size too small! Eek!



    My goal is to alter is one size smaller too, so I have some work to do. I think 30lbs is reasonable, but 40lbs would be amazing.
