Beautiful MsSTBMRS! Looks like you have things under control. I see your engagement ring is similar to what I've been talking about in another post. Pretty!

Love what you've put together so far. I especially love the coordinator's dress, it's too cute. Have you picked a flower girl dress yet?

Re: MsSTBMrs Blog - (ongoing progress)

I tried on a similar dress at Davids. I think it's lovely as I love beading or rhinestones on gowns. Reception venue looks great. What are your colors? You seem like you are ahead of the game in programs, etc. I'm glad I'm not the only DIY bride (do it yourself).Me and FH are footing the entire bill ourselves!


These three remain; faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love. Cor

Thanks, Michele..

DSTLady..

my colors are ivory/chocolate/champagne. I may cheat with the programs because I just can't find the time to put them together (so I may order them from Satinbow.com) Don't get me wrong, my bridal party is one of the best, but as everyone in this forum knows...its alot to planning your special day.

What I need to do is find more things for our menfolk to get involved in bcus just getting tuxedos and some music ain't cutting it with me.LOL

I just wanted you to know that I didn't forget about you and your FH.  Still negotiating on your behalf, but I'm sure that I'll come out a winner with the prices you gave me.

Hello Ladies...
It's been awhile, but I'm still on my grind with wedding planning.  My bridal party's "broom" bouquets are finally completed and I was able to make it to the florist to finally put the order in for the boutineers, mother's corsages and my bouquet(calla lillies wrapped in fabric).

Still deciding on the wedding cake, but I hope to finalize that by this weekend. 
Until then..stay tune

Re: MsSTBMrs Blog - (ongoing progress)

I thought I would take this time to update my blog while I'm catching my breath from planning..its hard to believe that in less than 3 mths..all my hard work will come to light.  I want to say "Thank you" to all of you that advised me on my bridal jewelry in another post.  I'm happy to say that I seem to be on schedule with everything and just pray that all goes well without a "hitch". 
Below are pics of my progress...

I'm debating whether or not I want to change my gown at the reception because my bridal gown is quite heavy (might be difficult to "shake my money maker" in..LOL)... so I'm considering the following along with these accessories..

Re: MsSTBMrs Blog - (ongoing progress)

Recent changes:
FH & I have made some revisions to our Wedding Date.  My dad and his sister(my aunt) were diagnosed with prostate and cervical cancer a few weeks back, therefore to allow them to fully recover from what their bodies will be going through with radiation and other treatments, my new Wedding Date will be May 29, 2010.
Please keep my family in prayer as you continue to pray for your own.  I have faith that God has everything under control.
With that said, I want to update my daisy path ticker with my new date but don't have a clue how..can someone help me out?

Hi sweetie,
Sorry to hear about your aunt and your dad.  As I'm also going through this with my sister, I can definitely say that I know what you and your family has to deal with.
Needless to say that I will keep your aunt and dad in my prayers always.

We are so sorry to hear about your family's illness. We had a hard battle the last two years with our uncle and bowel cancer. There are new survivors of this disease everyday. My father-in-law is one of them. You are in our prayers.
