Since we're talking wedding dresses, I'd like to offer an option for the brides to be. Since you're all in an international relationship, whether a US or UK citizen, this dress is a great way to show loyalty to the US!!

That´s not a wedding dress it´s a balerina dress

Has anyone ever checked out uglydress.com? Hours of enjoyment await... The classic must be the Pregnant Prom Dress.

OMG Just cut the whole out eh?

Clearly I am missing out! I might have to start watching. I like watching Platinum Weddings on WE - it's like, how much money do you have to spend to make what would ostensibly be a classy wedding and make it completely tacky. A girl I work with was featured on it - hilarious.

Yeah, I'm another Platinum Weddings fan, sorry to say. In a similar vein, I loved that Manhattan Housewives show, and just found out that my friend is friends with that Alex on the show -- the tall, skinny blonde. Apparently she's very nice in real life, but the syrupy stuff with her husband is for real. Yuck.

I have not watched the Manhattan housewives yet but the OC housewives is a definite favorite even though the OH gets visibly agitated when its on.

Oh sweet Jesus H. Christ. Yes the Redneck weddings show I have not seen, but I have lived through some so there is no need to watch. I've been to weddings where the groomsment wear jeans, sh*tkickers and cowboy hats, and the women wear cowboy hats with their ugly bridesmaid dresses.

The camo wedding kills me. I was looking at caketoppers on ebay and there was one that had a bride and groom in camo with them both holding guns. If that doesn't say love and romance I don't know what does.

Also, my other road trip advice is not to book accomodation in advance. It's more fun that way!!!

It's fun until you arrive in a town with every room sold out hahaha! I've nearly had to spend a night out on a beach, but luckily I found a room at the end of the day. Then again this happened in France on Bastille Day weekend so I should have known better

We had that in Sedona - we got there late and it was booked up completely - we managed to get a place for the following couple of nights but we had to drive allllll the way back up the mountain to Flagstaff that night - it was awful!!

Quit messing with my LIFE!

I'm popping in to say hello. Can't believe this time next week I'll be getting ready to go to the rehearsal. My so called small wedding has increased from 40 to 70 people due to cousins being offended and 16 year old stroppy sisters wanting to bring the boyfriends they have known for 3 weeks and the cost has gone up by almost $1000. Got the reception sorted today and finally decided on the menu so absolutly no one else can be added. I really need some zinfandel right now. Stress levels are at an all time high. This is all too crazy. Plus this weather better sort itself out for a week on saturday. Had constant thunder since yesterday and half of grand island IS an island as the other half looks somewhat oceanic. GRRRRR.

July 4 -- Another day in El Paso

That looks awesome -- but unfortunately it is really out of the way. We're taking I-10 and that's on I-40.

I do note they have 54 rooms in the motel...with limo service from the airport...and a Texas-shaped pool... do I detect a VJ getaway in the future? Hmmmm... although Palm Springs spa stuff sounds right up my alley!

Spa times - yay!

The men can hang out somewhere else & drink beers.

Awww sweetie At least you get to have a rehearsal though - we did all of ours remotely then just kinda went with it!! I can't wait to see the piccies - I bet you look beautiful And in the grand scheme of things, the extra $1000 will buy you memories you will never be able to replace When it comes to money stuff, I just tell myself that this time next year we will be in a different position and I would prefer to spend a bit extra now for the memories than look back in a year's time and wish I hadn't worried so much about it (that's me justifying the mahoosive amount we spent in Hawaii )

Yay!! I love the little patio too - I soooooooo hope we get the apartment - I have really talked myself into it now so will be bitterly disappointed if we don't get it For a first home together while we save for a mortgage I think it will do nicely - then we just have to find a house to buy in Palm Springs

And by all means, come visit - I will need to have friendly faces as I don't know how long it will take for me to make friends! I could prolly use a spa too - am really going to miss my baths
