Wow; all three going to the same place?? It's good to have friends in high places :D

Jax, what else do you have to do to finalise your plans?

Next week, we are going to San Diego for a few days to see my sister......so, there is really no rush.....now that we know the card is actually coming.

Enjoy San Diego; it's one of my favorite cities :yes: . My brother lives there and I hope to visit him this fall.

http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridalcollection.jsp this is the site my dress is on.. just hold the curser over the first girl on the top with blond hair.. she has a blue sash across her waist. Thats my dress. and the brides maids all have a different seprate outfit in that color.

Well I paid half of the catering the other day, just paid the villa off, and all outfits are done except one groosmen. Waiting to hear back from the wedding corridantor about the price for flowers, cultery, chairs, tables, birthday cake, minster, and paper work.

I think I am planning a trip for the younger folks to go ATV riding in the Rosehall area and the older folks to tour Rosehall plantation. I told my mom and dad I wont be going to plantation house I have done that like 8 times.

So everything is going smoothly so far. One bridesmaid zilla who wants me to change her plane ticket to a different date. Told her she have to call the travel agent herself. Then she invited 2 of her friends oh well the more the better.

I just wish one of my bros could be there but he is enjoying Indonesia. He is doing reilf work there for a week before he attends school.

Michelle, your moving this weekend?? right are you exited about your new place?? What is your new place like?

Michelle,

I don't know where are 3 guys will work since they are just starting training. They said they are still coming to my wedding. They will just say they have a funeral to attend instead :lol: I love those guys some of my best buddies.. that have to be sharing a dorm room with 3 Jamaicans kind of crazy! so that means there was 6 of us in one room tight quarters I say for 2 weeks. Try waking them up and getting them to class on time OUCH! and they all have internet addictions :lol:

Wow that is a very nice dress. I like the blue sash too; the color is perfect for an island wedding(the color of the sea).

Bridemaid zilla-what nerve :o

Have your friends been to JA before?

My closing is next Friday, but I won't be moving until the first week of July. I'm slowly chipping away at my packing and cleaning. I'm going to try to finish by the middle of next week. I'm buying a 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath condo with a garage. I'll get excited once I get packed up and moved. The stress of this move is driving me :wacko: .

^^^^^^^

Dru have a good time this weekend. Let us know how the jazz is in 'them thar hills' :P .

Good point. It's been raining heavily here in CT like forever (don't remember the last sunny day we've had) and the ground is saturated with water.

That is awsome that you didnt have to pay for a hem. I am to short still with the heels and had to pay 90 for the hem ugh!!

Oh no I hope they don't become jerks they have been like my best friends for over 8 years. Maybe to everyone else but not to me :whistle:

Thanks for the complements ladies... It is a very popular dress this season. In a few months I can post my pics on the yahoo site. I was think about lossing more weight but maybe not after the cost of alterations. My wedding is getting so expensive. I guess it only happens once.

Elizabethhennery I will remmember that I will be sinking into the ground so I may not be so tall. My shoes are platfroms so I hope I don't get stuck. Carolyn said that it is going to rain at the time I am going to have my ceremony. So I will be sinking for sure.

Dru have a good time this weekend. Let us know how the jazz is in 'them thar hills' :P .

Almost all of my family and friends have never been to Jamaica before. My bridesmaid zilla visted once of a cruise ship for a day so that doesn't count and she said she didn't like that much :angry: Dwain's 2 guys standing up for him have come before several times. I can't beleive he has better luck with the guys here. They said whatever the cost they would be there for him strange I say. It was hard on me I had 2 bridesmaids drop out on me rudly. One told another bridesmaid to tell me so she never confronted me. Then one bought her dress and then told me she was droping out cause it was too much money anyways I am paying for almost everything so its practicly airfare she was paying for. ugh the nerve anyways got to love the drama.

Michelle you can do it with the packing nice and slow a few items at a time. I was in the same spot as you last year packing and moving its rough. I understand. I moved to a condo to. It sounds very nice. How many levels is it? Does it have an open floor plan, front porch, deck? The best part of condos is I never have to mow my lawn again :star: How much do you have packed? I am truly amazed by your shoe collection.
