Unauthorized Charges!!!!
Brides Beware Of These Websites!
Tonight while we were eating dinner my mother in law was checking her bank account and noticed a charge for 14.95 from a company called easy saver and couldn't figure out who it was from.... well i got online and googled easy saver and i got a complain board website of other people complaining about it. It just so happens that pro flowers had easy saver stealing the credit card numbers and bank account numbers and charging them a starting fee of 1.95 and then 14.95 a month after that and they gave a 1 800 number to call to get your money back.
Well my mother in law called them and it just so happens that when i ordered the calla lily garland for the wedding they said i supposedly clicked on something that said yes to them charging her account for some kind of service for a 15 dollar off coupon for our next order which we never used. Then my mother in law asked them what she was being charged for and they couldn't give her an answer and she demanded that they refund her money and delete her account and stuff. Well they transfered her to another lady and she asked them how she knew me and she told them that i was her daughter in law and she knew for a fact i agree for them to charge her. So needless to say they use other websites to steal your information and your money.... and they are going to refund her money in 5-7 business days for all of what she was charged. Here is the link to the website that the others complained and a list of websites that they target: http://www.complaintsboard.com/?search=easy+saver www.orientaltrading.com www.proflowers.com |

The Reception was great everything looked perfect and the cake got there in one piece. All the food was good and there was more than enough all though the c.d player started skipping during the first dance and my step dad made me cry during the father daughter dance it was still alot of fun and the time really flew by. I hope you ladies enjoy the pictures : )

Its All Over Now : (
Im Finally Married : )
I figured i would take this time before i go hop in bed with my new husband : ) (i love saying that!) to sit back and take in everything that has happened. I must admit its the greatest feeling in the world knowing you have someone you love and that your going to spend the rest of your life with and someone to take care of you as well as you take care of them. Its like the text message he sent me while he was at work today its a new obligation but its a good one. Now that its all said and done with i dont feel much different but i am very happy inside and out (although i have come down sick) and the whole day felt like a dream but looking back we take alot of good memories with us that will last a life time. but at the end of the day when its just me and him in bed with the pups he is still just ryan to me, he may have gone from friend to boyfriend to fiance to husband but he will always be ryan to me no matter what his title is he will never change and Its the greatest feeling in the world getting married and knowing your going to spend the rest of you life with that one person who still gives you butterflies in your stomach or makes you weak in the knees (i knew my knees where shaking when i first got up there with him but it went away during the ceremony). They were right when they say love isn't something you just jump into, it takes time and you have to fall into it and once you do its the best feeling in the world.
i also want to give a special thank you to my mother in law. if it weren't for her i would of been a basket case and she has done so much for us on top of helping with the wedding i dont know how i could ever repay her but i really appreciate everything she did. She made our wedding day very special and gave us a beautiful reception. Thank you momma! i wish all you ladies the best of luck on planning and thank you for all the sweet comments and blogs all of you have posted about me! I look forward to checking back in and seeing how everything is going and maybe seeing some of your wedding pictures, but for now i must go until i come back to post the wedding pictures but i will still be here checking in on you guys! Best of luck to all of you and you have all become my WBC family! |

I'm Almost Done!
Just wrapping up last minute things
Tonight my FMIL finished all the boutineers for the guys. We also picked up ryans tux along with one of the groomsmen gifts but his pants were too long so they had to hem them for him so we are waiting on those to get done.
It has gotten really cold here really quick and its suppose to be 68 degrees on the wedding day so we asked my alterations lady if she knew where we could get silver shaws for the girls and she told us if we bought the material she would make them for us free of charge! So me and my FMIL went out on a search today for silver satin and fount it and we have to go to the davids bridal about an hour away from our house just to pick up the shaw that matches my dress on thursday. Also i realized since we are having the wedding cake & grooms cake on different sides of the room we would need another server set for the grooms cake so i asked his mom if we could use theirs (they have been married almost 27 years) maybe it will bring us good luck! We have the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner on thursday as well with all of our running and yesterday we got all the wedding stuff organized and all the attendants gifts wrapped (still have to find ryan's groomsmen gifts) and i made my programs basket from a basket my FMIL had around the house but other than that im pretty much done. All thats really left to do is: Get the other 3 tuxes and ryans pants picked up get unity cadles (the side ones) get trays for food (extra ones) pick up what else we need food wise pick up the shaws and dresses take my ring to get plated get my eyebrows done which if we estimated it right it will all be done by thursday! 3 more days i can't wait!!!!! |

Ceremony & Reception Site
We did the final walk through today!
Today me and my FMIL (since she took the entire week off to help me get all the wedding stuff together and finalize things) we went to the park today to look at where the ceremony would take place and get an idea for the reception. Sorry the pictures are dark it was a little dark in there but not too bad also they told me i could have music for the dancing just not to loud so i figured some country would be ok : )
p.s i totally love the fountain in the background! |

More Wedding Drama!
Im so over all this!
I get a call from my mom tonight telling me that my dad called her and got nasty with her over MY CHOICE to have my step dad walk me down the isle instead of him and that he wasn't going to come to my wedding so while i was on the phone with my mom he calls so i pick up and he tells me that hes not coming to my wedding because my step dad is walking me down the isle and when i try to explain why he just hung up on me! Well the reason why i dont want him to walk me down the isle is he has never been a father he has never provided for me like my stepdad has so i dont think he deserves to.... Have i made the right decision?

Decoration
My Garland Came In Today!
It is actual a very good quality except the flowers fall off the light bulbs but that can easily be fixed. it also needs to be fluffed back up since it was cramed in a tiny box but i think i like it better lit up! Also my FMIL picked up ryans minature pool table set but ryan got to looking at it and thinks it would be a little small for a half sheet so tomorrow we are going out to look for a bigger one and if we can't find one then we will just down size the cake for the pool table ( when we went to pay off the cake today we asked publix about doing a pool table for his grooms cake and they said they could!!!! Also they will deliver it with the wedding cake free of charge!). Also tomorrow we are going to get our marriage license!!!!
Just a few more things to cross off the list! |

Ask a Question
What Kind Of Dress Did You Get?
I see alot of brides on here with the mermaid poofy wedding dresses but im just wondering how many of us just went with one a little more simple and not so poofy or not a mermaid style?? I got a straight down dress with just a touch of bling in the middle now dont get me wrong i love my dress even though i lost the first one i really wanted and hated the second (yes im on dress #3) But i was just wondering anyone else not care for the big poofy/mermaid type dresses?

We also played a game where you had a board with a spinner that you had to tell your favorite story about the bride or groom, do a famous wedding dance and etc. i got to do the wedding waltz with my MOH lol.

Stressed Out To The Max!
i cant sleep and im starting to get sick!
This crunch time (now almost 2 weeks away from the wedding) im finding myself more stressed out to where im feeling sick and i think its why i have lost the 5 pounds because it started about a month before the wedding that i haven't been able to sleep i have been staying up until almost 4am if not later and no matter how bad i want to go to sleep i can't! This has been really hard and i really want this wedding day to get here so i can finally enjoy all of my hard work... and my poor FMIL is just as much if not more stressed out than i am she really deserves a special thank you for all the help she has given us and helped us with!
any suggestions on how to relieve stress i was thinking about going to the gym or working out in our weight room to relieve some but im not sure..... |
