Bachelorette Party - Finally Posting Pic's From my Special Night

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 18:41:00 PST

My bachelorette party was AMAZING!! My friend/wedding coordinator works at the Marines Memorial Hotel in San Francisco and was able to get us a spectacular sweet! When we first arrived I was greeted with a table full of lovely treats.... homemade penis cupcakes, penis candies, fresh fruit, and even penis' in my pink bouquet. The bed had a pink veil, matching panties, and tank top laying on it. Such a sweet touch. She even put a ALL pink basket in the bathroom filled with hand sanitizer, pink gum, lotion, perfume, and so on. It was perfect and such a special touch. Our view was also amazing and the dinner was delicious! We ended up going to several clubs in SF but my favorite was actually a tranny club that specialized in bachelorette parties. WE HAD A BLAST!! The girls had arranged for me to get pulled up on stage and I got a lap dance by two women. The next morning we dragged ourselves out of bed and headed off to Napa Valley for a day of wine tasting.... pictures to follow.

Another Baby Lost - Devastating News Once Again BUT This Time I Could Have Died!

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 07:25:00 PST

Devastating news on my birthday!! So for the girls who havent followed my posts, my husband had a very exciting surprise planned for me the day of my birthday. He messaged me and told me to have an overnight bag ready b/c we were going out of town for my birthday. I was soooo excited; however I had a doctors appointment that same day because I had missed my period. LOOOOOONG story short, I was rushed to the ER on my birthday (two weeks after our wedding) because I was pregnant . But it was an etopic/ tubal pregnancy. Ive never been to the ER before let alone had any type of surgery. I WAS FREAKING OUT!! They told me I could possible die if it wasnt taken care of right away. After speaking to several doctors we were told there was nothing they could do to save the pregnancy, but the good news was that I didnt have to have surgery. They ended up giving me methotrexate, a chemo therapy drug that stops the growth of cells. The worst part about the whole thing was that the doctor was able to tell me that I was 6 weeks and 3 days along and the baby already had a heartbeat. tear.We eventually made it out of there the next morning with every emotion you can possibly think of. Since then Ive been doing OKAY but this past weekend I attended a bridal shower and ended up being rushed to the ER AGAIN due to extreme pain. The doctors told me it must have been a side effect to the drug but Im just not convinced. I have an appointment with my doctor next week and hopefully they will give me a cat scan to find out how much damage has been done to my fallopian tube. If there is too much damage I will have to have it removed. My biggest concern is my future possibility to have babies. If everything goes okay the doctor told me we can try again in October. Please pray for us that everything goes okay and we can try again in October. Love you girls and just wanted to give you an update since Ive been M.I.A since the wedding.

Bridesmaid Backs Out!!! - 6 Days Before Wedding... REALLY!??

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 19:32:00 PST

I am so irritated and upset to say the least right now. My best friend since middle school just called me to tell me she doesn't have enough money to drive from Oregon to California for the wedding!! "WHAT are you really serious right now!!!!!!!" I couldn't believe it! This girl had over a year and a half to save $250 to come out to California for the wedding. I mean come one....... it's not like she was just a guest.... she was a freaking BRIDESMAID! She already paid for her dress and shoes, I've spent money on her and her boyfriend, bouquet, food, jewelry...... That just shows me I wasn't a priority! I just can't believe she waited until 6 days before the wedding to tell me!

Wedding Hair Style - Had My Hair Trial Today!!!

Mon, 21 Jun 2010 21:26:00 PST

So please excuse the no make-up look...lol... I had my hair trial today and I'll be honest... I was extremely nervous! Since my hair has been thinning so much (due to stress) I wasn't sure I would like the style I originally chose...BUT... when she handed me the mirror I knew it was perfect! I'm not sure whether or not I want to wear my birdcage veil on the side my hair is parted or on the side my bangs are on yet.....decisions decisions.... Do you girls like it?..... is the feather headpiece too much? My hairdresser wasn't too sure about it at first but after she saw it all together she liked it OR at least told me she did...lol..

DIY Wedding - FMIL Handmade My Garders

Mon, 21 Jun 2010 21:18:00 PST

Let me just say these pictures hardly do justice for these lovelies. I was absolutely stoned when I saw them. My FMIL is so creative! At the time I didn't have my "something old" so she suggested added an old vintage rhinestone button that was my FH's great or great great grandmothers. I love the idea and when I saw it..... it was perfect. Of course that will be the one I keep and the other one is to toss. The toss garder is stunning by itself. I love how she tied in the feather to match the boutonnieres. What do you girls think?

DIY Wedding - Programs/Fans/Personalized Word Search

Mon, 21 Jun 2010 21:12:00 PST

I started my programs girls......with only 9 days to our wedding!!! I'm definetly pushing it now!...lol... I just wanted to post what they look like right now. I cut out the scrapbook paper, created and cut to size our personalized word search. Now I have to create and print our program to put on the other side and FH has to get the pencils ready to attach with a piece of ribbon. I satisfied with the way they've turned out so far. I can't wait to cross them off my list though :-) Hope you girls like them too & Happy Planning Girls!!!

DIY Wedding - Menu's Half Way Done

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 13:16:00 PST

I love how our menu's turned out even though they are very simple. I didn't realize how time consuming these bad boys would be when I decided to make our own but again it's just another project I can say "I DID THAT"! Only 60 more to do in 18 days!!!!!!!!! YIKES!!!!

Gumball Machine Complete - RED HOT BABY!!

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 13:09:00 PST

It's complete girls.... I finally finished our gumball machine... well it actually has RED HOTS in it. I think the sign completes it and makes it look 100 times better. I also finished our "Fresh Lemonade" signs but haven't had the time to add the ribbon and put them on the containers yet. If I have time this weekend I plan to set everything up and take lots of pictures to get your girls' opinions. I can't wait to see how it all turns out.

FMIL GIFT - Finally Arrived & It's PERFECT!

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 13:04:00 PST

I purchased this hanky last weekend and it arrived today!!! YIPPIE!!! I was so excited to open it up and it was perfect girls. I love how it's personalized and hopefully my FMIL will adore it because I know I do.

Reception Shoes - My VS Flip Flops

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 12:59:00 PST

Not as stylish as most of your girls' reception shoes BUT very comfortable. I'm not 100% sure I will even need this bad boys BUT with the 4" heels I will be wearing during the ceremony it is very possible that I will need these later on. I purchased them from VS for an amazing price and hey if I don't wear them at the reception, I can always wear them during our honeymoon.

Wedding Reception - My Apron While I Get My Grub on!

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 12:54:00 PST

When I saw this apron at Ross the other day I just couldn't help myself. It so adorable & I think it will go great with our theme. I would love to put Mrs. Redford on it however I'm swamped with DIY projects and last minuet preparation and just don't have the time ;-( I still think it will look really cute without it. I'll probably still put it on there when we get back from our honeymoon and wear it while I cook for my new HUSBAND!!!

Ask a Question - Bachlorette Party Dress for Wine Tasting

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 12:49:00 PST

Help me girls please :-) I need to pick a dress to wear on Sunday while we're wine tasting. All the girls told me was to wear something that went with PINK. So here are my two options. The first one is casual and fun with pink flowered shoes. I really like this one but I think it's a little plain. The second one is VERY colorful but might be a little too dressy. I wish I had one in between.... but these are my options. What do you girls think?

Bachlorette Party - This Weekend!

Thu, 10 Jun 2010 21:56:00 PST

It's been crazy and I'm extremely overwhelmed right now BUT I this weekend should loosen me up!

I can't wait!!!!!!!! pictures and details to come :-)

Wedding Cake - "Love Birds"Topper

Mon, 31 May 2010 00:02:00 PST

We received our cake topper in the mail last week & oooooohhhhh do I L-O-V-E them!

Can't wait to see them on our cake.
