Okkk I have finally picked out my wedding dress along with my 3 daughters dresses. My oldest will be my maid of honor and the two younger ones will be my bridesmaids so I am hoping I post them right. The red one is mine , the silver one is my maid of honors and the black ones is for the bridesmaids. If this works please tell me what you think , thanks hugggs

Very pretty. I'm thinking how your pictures will turn out, and your red should look quite stunning. Have you considered using the same color for both the maid of honor and bridesmaids and differentiating them with an accent (a sash, a different bouquet color or ribbon, same color but different style dress, etc)? It might hold up better in the photos (rather than 3 colors). Sorry, I just had to... that's the designer in me talking. The dresses themselves are very nice.

OH MY GOD WE'RE APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIX MINUTES AGO!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Congrats. Very happy for you both.

Ohh Aubrey, I didnt even think of pictures. The silver would look bad wouldnt it. Umm I am trying to think of how I can change the black dress somehow to make it look different for the maid of honor.. any ideas???? I dont know how I would use a sash as the dress is made differently. I would like something red on it of course but not sure how to go about it. I can get the silver one in black also and it is a little different from the other two... what do you think of that? any ideassss will be appreciated. I am in a rut right now so need to keep busy. I will be having red and white roses in my bouquet. I was going to have real ones but now am thinking it would be fun to make my own and that way they will last forever and would give me more to do to stay busy LOL. any ideas on the bouquets would be helpful to. I feel like this is my first wedding when its actually my 3rd eeeks did I just admit that to you all haha. well they say 3rd time is a charm so lets hope ...Thanks for the tip , cause like I said I never even thought of photos...

I think if you're really set on the 3 colors, then I'd use the same style dress and add a sash or wrap to both dresses (black sash on silver dress, silver sash on black dress), but obviously a sash doesn't work with those particular dresses since they already have bows. The silver is pretty light, so it might wash out someone if they're very fair, but otherwise the color in itself isn't a problem. The trick is going to be to make them look like they're all coordinated by something so they look like a bridal party (instead of guests or something). David's Bridal does a great job showing how you can mix and match things but still pull that off - maybe it'll help to browse their pictures.

The cool thing about using a wrap is with your colors (black or silver) it would be reusable by the ladies when they dress up again.

I wanted to let everyone know things are clipping along at a good rate now.... Alexandra's interview is set for 1/28. She received her packet instructions yesterday but we had already faxed everything they needed and I called today and they had set the earliest appointment.

I am sorry to hear you got stuck at NVC!! I am crossing my fingers for you that your case is out there soon. This is ridiculous after this long wait for NOA2 ...

Congrats on all approvals! VSC seems to really catch up!!!

I'm still here! no touches, no approval, nothing.

Still "here". I actually did talk to someone at USCIS that said they were waiting on the background check from the consulate in Brazil. At least I know what's up now...maybe...

I'm out of town so if I don't reply to comments, that's why.

Good to know they are working on your case! Hopefully they hurry it up!

[jokalu 1]

this put me very sad....why they are approved so soon? ....this is no fear!!!

Hello all,

I was just searching some topics and came across someone who filed their papers to the CSC in October 2008 and received their NOA2 this morning....73 days after filing only!

So keep your fingers crossed, you may just get a early xmas/new years gift

Thank you very much for all your congratulations messages, we are very happy and wishing for an early interview date, I guess I was a little freaked out thinking that we wouldn't get aproved this year, but we are very relieved to have the approval I guess It was a late birthday present for me (december 6) but the best I could hope for.

I hope all of you who are waiting hear good news very soon.
