LOL- you know I rarely go into the message boards anymore, but I happened to check this one today. I appreciate you all worrying about my toes, but they are fine. In fact, they are better than fine since they are supporting much less weight than they were 24lbs ago when we started!! I am SO excited that the Daffodils might…

Hi September (and November) brides. Sorry to crash your discussion, but I wanted to let you know that we're starting a 6 week brides group challenge starting tomorrow... weigh ins for first week are okay through March 25 if you don't see this until then. Details in the MFP Brides group (or PM me if you can't find it). It's…

Great post, regardless of cited sources. If people want to source data, they can click the reference links ;-)~

In Vienna?? Really?? PM me the info!! Also - the guy who I gave the advice to really liked the Road to Hana too. Not sure if I'll do it next time I'm in Maui. Maybe...

wow. SO true.

Okay! First weigh in is March 23. Let me know if you need to add to the group :)

I think there's a 25% off code in my email somewhere. I will look.

You look AMAZING! Congrats!

As promised, the info on Maui that I provided to a work friend a few months ago... Most of the things I suggest here I discovered through my dad’s suggestions when I was stationed in Hawaii in 2009. I visited Maui several times during that year and was never disappointed. I hope you and your fiancé have a wonderful time!…

Ditto to everyone who has already volunteered. I worked on Oahu and spent lots of time in Maui/Big Island/Kauai! I have an email somewhere about Maui that I prepped for one of the lawyers at work. He used a bunch of it and had a blast. If I forget to post, remind me!

Didn't know you were a parkie!!! I worked USFWS for a while in Honolulu and on some of the Marine National Monuments. Let me know if you're thinking about diving Kona. Have some GREAT memories :)

DONE! Let me know when you want to play!

We used Magnet Street. At the time (last summer), they had the best quality vs price and the layout styles we wanted. There really is something for everyone (and you can change the color theme of ANY save the date, change the text box sizes, etc., either through the online editor or over the phone with a sales rep). Note,…

Indeed! We're planning to start our family right away, so we're getting the first 5 years of vacations knocked out first and then 3 back to back babies (if my body works ok, we may try for 4). LOL PS- SERIOUSLY let me know when you're in DC... korenesq@gmail.com

Wow, Delphiniums. Our board is back on page 4??! We need to reengage, ladies. I know our weddings are getting close, but we are REALLY slipping. Down to 4th place this week. I'm going to pledge a loss of at least 8 lbs more by the end of the challenge. My last reported weight was 164, so that will be 156. I am going to be…

When I was considering it more closely, I reviewed a "free" kit online. It's really just a step-by-step guide on how to make sure you get everything and don't forget to do any of them. Also good info on the TheKnot.com. http://www.bridekit.com/

We're been saving money for around 18 months and saving leave for a lot longer than that. In total - wedding and honeymoon - it's just over 5 weeks in the Caribbean. We still have to book the resort in Punta Cana but the price tag isn't what you think. I've been stalking the travel websites and airlines too and got almost…

Let me know when you're coming and we'll take you out for cocktails!!!

Keeping mine professionally (and legally), but will use his socially. It's been a sticking point for him, but I'm going on 33 and am well established in several career fields (emergency medicine - paramedic; law - attorney; government - planner). And that's just the beginning. Totally not worth it unless I become a…

Guess what, Barb??! I totally felt like I was channeling you today :) At my fitting, I asked my seamstress if she could make my peignoir because it was so expensive and I wasn't finding exactly what I wanted. She said sure but that the lace is expensive and that I probably would be better off finding something with the…

My two go-tos are -Apple (1/2) + Natural Peanut Butter (2T) -Cottage cheese + pineapple + walnuts Another good source is a protein bar. I'm trying some homemade ones. The recipes is in another discussion thread for the brides about snacks. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else does! Thanks for posting the topic!

To your actual post: an engagement period is a good time to start to work through life with another person. It's not like you haven't been doing it for a while, but for most of the day to day stuff you can really do what you want even if the other person doesn't agree MOST of the time. With a wedding, the decisions really…

The feelings in your post embody pretty much how I'm feeling this morning. TOM- why do you make me so crazy???! PS- HUGS!

Have fun, Nicky!!! And congrats!!!

Cool ideas! I'm doing aqua blue parasols for the wedding itself and a spa treatment of their choice (my Maid of Honor asked that I donate the equivalent $$ to a cat charity instead).

Delphiniums- Where are you all at? There's nothing from our board for weeks :(

Cord ceremony? Is that like a handfasting? We're doing one of those but am struggling with the words. Should I be googling cord ceremony?

The 6 wick thing is doable and TOTALLY DIY friendly. Yah- save $$ :) Plain wax is cheap and you can melt on your stovetop and color with a regular crayola crayon. I don't think wicks are too pricey either. If the supplies are still too pricey, the DIY way (my grandma does this all the time) is to melt down your old candles…

Can't remember where you live, but Jen is SUPER reasonable. It's $200 and includes hair/makeup and the "little black book" of images for your honey-bunny. I have found some in DC Metro for less, but I like her style and approach that focuses on real beauty and not the stuff in magazines. I know money is tight, so perhaps…
