I still dont know!

I might be by my aunt's house for easter - and then that means that I will be over FH's house for Palm Sunday - which is SUNDAY!!!

lol same with us Francesca - since we're gonna be with my isde of the family on Easter we're spending Palm Sunday over at FH's house. Sometimes I feel like I should cut myself in half to make everybody happy on the Holidays lol

I know me tooo!!! i have to say that Im fortunate that my parents are Ok with me not spending all the holidays with them - and Im the youngest - so my sister and brother are married - and sometimes my mom just asks that we ALL be together for ONE holiday like christmas day instead of eve - and i feel bad bc then my parents are alone for eve - but thats what she wants - so thats what happens!

Hi - I'm not doing it. Personally, I feel like that's more for New Year's and parties that need gimmicks. I am also having a band and I don't think they offer those things either. HTH!

I wouldn't say it's the worst thing to have at your wedding if she really thinks you should have it. A friend of ours got married and had a band. Everyone got sunglasses when they started playing honeymoon themed songs from Bob Marley. It was cute, so you can try to limit it if need be. But if you really don't want it, remind her that the band doesn't do it and why they don't. Maybe she'll realize.

Question

What are you girls getting (or what did you ge)t for your MOH??

I haven't the slightest clue what to get her.

So far for the BP, I got them all Swarovski bangle bracelets, but I want to get them something else to go with it.. I was thinking of matching earrings or something like that? I need serious help with this!

Hey Janie,

That's exactly what I did...I got them all matching earrings with their swaroski bangel braclets...they were irradecent (not sure if I spelled that correctly) and went great with the eggplant dresses.

I just got a more expensive and larger pair of earrings for my MOH to go with her braclet which was the same one I got my BM's...they all loved it!!

Re: **Official Italian Bride Thread**
Ok girls heres the deal for GTG #2 - the majority of u (4 girls) voted for Friday, May 26th and the consensus seemed to be for Brooklyn. So right now we're thinking of having it at Mambo Italiano because the food is awesome and fairly inexpensive - plus the portions are family size so we could share them with our FH and save even more money lol

So I'm starting a new thread -RSVP to Italian Brides GTG #2. If u girls are sure u can make it please post on that thread and let us know if you're coming alone or with FH. We'll leave the thread up til May 12th so u girls have over a month to respond I hope a lot of u can make it...the more the merrier! can't wait to meet all of u ragazze

RSVP GTG #2 Thread

not to change the topic, but....

What's a good website to get information on particular town -- a not so popular town in Italy. Were going there this summer and I wanted to get maps - or at least know some kind of info ahead of time since, we have to drive from Naples to Sanza - its about 2 hour drive.
