A huge thank you and hug from me to my 05 ladies!

Ladies what can I say? I really cannot believe I am getting married tomorrow. I feel so blessed to have found this website back in early 04. I really think it was meant to be for me to meet and hang out with all of you. I have made the most wonderful friends and for that I am so grateful to Ron and Liz for creating this site. Over the last year and a half I have had the pleasure of laughing, crying, planning, talking, flipping out and just having a blast with all of you 05 ladies. When I joined this site I did not know anyone and now I have so many wonderful friends. I really do feel like we are a little family. I have had just had the best time in this planning process sharing it with all of you. I have learned so much from you and also the past brides from 03 and 04. My wedding would definitely not be anything close to what it is without you ladies. I knew nothing about wedding planning before joining this site. I don’t even know what I would have done if I never found it. Glad I will never find out…haha. It really is so surreal thinking about getting married tomorrow. Just thinking about walking down the aisle is giving me goose bumps. I truly have the man of my dreams. I am so blessed to have Brian in my life. Just seeing the way he smiles at me makes me so happy inside. It is hard to believe we have been together for almost 9 years. Every day is better then the next. And finally we are going to be married. WOW it is so nuts…haha. You plan and plan and plan and then boom the day is here. I still cannot believe it. But I will definitely be taking all the advice from the fabulous newlyweds and will enjoy every single moment. I will soak it all in and just enjoy myself.

I have to give huge huge thanks to some of my most wonderful friends that I absolutely love and adore. Without you ladies this day would not be nearly as special. Having you there with me on Saturday means the world to me.

Ang – there are not enough words to thank you for everything you have done for my wedding. Everything you made for the wedding is so fabulous. I can’t wait to see it all come together on Saturday. Also thank you for always listening to me and for all your advice and support. You will always be my Queen ;)

Azad – it is so funny how we met on this website and clicked right from the start. I feel like we have been friends forever. Thank you so much for always being right there when I need someone to talk to and for being my fab WW buddy. I really needed the push to get there and I am so happy I went. Also how cool that we will live right down the block from each other. So random yet so fun!! But seriously Azad thanks for being such a great friend.

Donna – I am definitely going to miss our evening “BS” sessions in FS! You are always there to crack me up and to tell me like it is. It was so funny when posting on LIW we realized we lived 2 blocks away from each other. Thank you for all the help and advice. Now we need to get you out to Suffolk!!!

Denise – neesiepie – Mamita!!! I am so happy we have become such good friends. I love all our day long conversations at work. I will always remember what a blast we had planning our weddings together and getting excited to get all your left over wedding mags…haha. Again so random that you won the office bridezilla contest and I realized we work for the same company. You have made planning even more fun for me. You are so funny and always give me something to laugh about. So glad we are friends J

Denise – d&d05 – You are definitely one of the sweetest girls I know and right there whenever I was having a mini crisis or just needed someone to get advice from. Also thanks for helping with my wedding projects and for being just as “anal” as I am…haha. Also thank you for the recommendation to go to Phyllis. I saved so much money going there. What a great find!

Liz – Lizzzzzzz! Thank you so much for always and I mean always listening to me and helping me through any craziness. Thanks for all the help with wedding projects. I feel like we have been friends forever! You are so sweet and easy to talk to. You are a great friend.

I have so many shout outs to make this might take a while. I really have been blessed with so many awesome friends and have had the best time on LIW I cannot not thank everyone.

Diana – my little punkin – you are soooo freakin funny. Thank you for making me laugh all day long and for all your help with the wedding projects. The votive place cards are perfect!

Ginny – I think you need to be a comedian because you are so funny. I have had fun being weekend twins with you and planning for this long. I am so sad I won’t be there to see you walk down the aisle on Sunday but you know I will be thinking about you and John. Definitely never change because you are one of a kind.

Christine – LP! And you will always be LP to me. You were one of the first people I talked to on LIW. You have given me such great advice and have been so helpful to me throughout this whole planning. Thanks to you I am using 12th Night and couldn’t be happier. I will never forget the GMB threads you started and the late night silly 10 page posts. You are definitely missed on 05!

Also I need to give more shout outs to – Sue, Neener, Jennie, Christine, Jenn, Daniela, Dina, Lori, Eileen, Beth, Kate, Gail, Heather, Diane, Debs, Rebecca, Paige, Diva, Dina, Maxine, Sasha, Annie, and Donna. All you ladies have made this wedding planning process so much fun for me. You are all such sweet and fun women! Thanks for all the help and advice along the way.

Yes this has been a super long lovefest. But I couldn’t possible have left and gotten married without thanking all my sweet and awesome friends on LIW!!! I have gotten so much love and support from you ladies I had to give it right back.

Soooooooo I am off to get married. I have my LIW paparazzi coming and they will take awesome pictures I am sure. Talk to all you ladies when I get back from the honeymoon!! And to any brides getting married in the next 2 weeks…have an awesome day!

Love and hugs,
