Oh boy! I took my dress to the seamstress doing my alterations and all I need is the bustle but she told me I need to lose 5 pounds. I only have 2 weeks! I cannot lose weight. I'll workout for 6 weeks and not lose anything and when I track what I eat, I rarely eat more than like 1500 cals a day. I'm going to try to do a raisin bran diet (as opposed to special K) and hopefully that will be enough.

o no!

five pounts in two weeks isn't even healthy! and then you might not be in good state for the wedding.

you tried the dress on, did it look and feel fine or was it very tight?

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

Ladies - how are we doing??

this is our time!

I had my final fitting last night; it went well.

I can't wait for that day because I am sooo stressed and tired between the planning and working late hours at the office...

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

I'm hanging in there - stress is really getting to me! But I'm trying to keep it together b/c it gonna be over before I know it!

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

I picked up my dress yesterday. I cannot wait until I can wear it.

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

8 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

lots to do this weekend...but all little things that shouldnt be a problem

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

I have lots of little things to do this weekend as well...


then I need to pack for the HM...

I have also been losing too much weight (I guess because of stress and because I am so busy) - and I don't want to lose anymore. I am eating Ice cream every day but even that isn't working...

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

LOL Nina I wish I had your problem! I don't link losing 5 pounds in 2 weeks is all that healthy either. My mom is going to buy me some kind of shapewear or something so we'll see if that helps. the dress does fit but it is a little tight. The style of the dress is the issue because it's more of a mermaid style so the hips matter. If it were an A-line or ballgown I would be fine. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow.

I heard SPANX decreases you by like a inch, so that should be fine!

use one of those and it should tone you - and definitely EAT!!!

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

Yeah my mom bought me some shapewear today so when I pick my dress up tomorrow I'll try them on together to see if it's better. I also have AF in town so I could have been a little bloated on Wednesday when I took the dress to her.

yes don't you love AF. But that clears you for the wedding and HM

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

LOL yeah I had to 'engineer' it by starting BCP back in October to make sure it would come earlier than if I wasn't on BC since it was projected for the day of the wedding! lol that would have made the HM awful!

Yes and that is all we need to worry about on of wedding day.......How is everything coming along. I went to the store today and brought some cute scallop cutters so I think I smell a DIY coming on. I know only 7 day left and I am thinking about doing my menu cards over.

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

Everything is going ok. Trying to decide if I'll bother printing out our programs. I'm definitely getting things done. Good luck with the menu cards.

Yeah I printed my programs at work. Someone gave me a quote of 75 cents per copy plus a 10 per pages set of fee. Not to mention the cost of the paper. yeah right
paper $9 per pack from AC moore
page set of fee Don't think I charged myself anything
Print free thanks to the US Gov.

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

I have the design done and the paper but my printer has been a little weird lately and I'm not really in the mood to print like 60 pages back and front.

o yeah! that adds at least an inch to me!

let me know what happens with the shapewear and trying the dress on!

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

just got back from the final payment/confirmation of the limo and florist...


the seating arrangements were easier than I had thought... so now we just have to write out the place cards, and all that for the hall...

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

I'm doing my placecards today too. So I don't have my dress yet but I'll be getting it either tonight or tomorrow. I've been eating pretty well today and I did the 20 minute turbo jam workout and the 20 minute ab jam workout too. I'm going to try to workout every day until the wedding and pray that does something.

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

I am not doing placecards. My hall does personal seating. Easy for me I only have to alphabetize the guest list and they do the rest.

Re: Official April 2007 Brides Thread!!!!

I have my seating chart but we arent starting the place cards til next week.
I am dropping everything off at the hall the day before so nothing gets lost or ruined and so any last minute changes can be made without stress!
