The OFFICIAL - An '06 Bride Did Something Nice Thread

---

Posted by JessicaM.

so many of you have extended me such kindness and assistance...

first and foremost, the outpouring of love and support I received from you all after the passing of my grandfather. It's especially painful at this time of year (he dressed as Santa EVERY year) but knowing I have you wonderful women to lean on is a blessing I never expected to receive, so thank you.

ChristineAEV: for coming with me on my disastrous hair trial, offering to assist me with just about EVERYTHING, making my monograms, and being an all around great friend

miss_qiana- for being the greatest jewelry finder that ever was, having a fab non diamond e-ring, having WAY too much in common with me, and being an all around great friend

hmpena: for always being there with a kind and sincere ear, for inviting me into your home and your life, for pigging out with me at the FH showcase, and being an all around great friend

Leese: for being my crazed 'theme-inspired' twin sister. you always 'get' what I am trying to do, and for always having a cool head.

for all of my WM girls (Sylvia, Lauren, Sarah, Sabrina, Bonnie-Jean and all of you) for your great ideas and great taste!

for the girls on here I love respect and admire who are always around to listen and respond with ideas and hugs: sweetcin, Anita, cindy, cindy, Nic (multiple), A, Kristen (all of you!), Leslie, BEANS BABY!, Tricia, Kerry, Janna, Bonnie, SASHA!! and all of you. and even to those that I have banged heads with (yah, Steph, that's MOSTLY you LOL) thanks for everything.

Let's hear it for '06.

I guess it's not so much that we HAVE drama, that' inevtiable (just look into your personal relations with family and friends) but that we can get past it and remember what matters!

OUR YEAR IS HERE!!

Wow.. This is a truly AWESOME thread.

First & formost I'd like to thank Ron & Liz for putting together this incredible site. Without it (and you girls) I would be totally lost & completely out of loop when it comes to wedding planning. Im so happy I stumbled across LIW because it has had such a wonderful impact on my life.. (only you girls would understand) The friendships I made, the laughs, the cries.. all the hugs.. I will never forget all the wacky threads and funny a$$ pictures.. You girls are truly amazing and I love you all...


Christine: Your one in a million... You have helped so many of us on this site, and I know that I speak for many when I say that this site wouldn't be the same without your ideas and advice. You are a truly a remarkable woman. Your so friggen funny too..

Hollie: You are the heart & soul of all of us here on the 06 board. You are genuine, sweet & you have the nicest things to say... always. John is a lucky man!!

Leslie: You make me pee.

Well if that ain't positive, I dont know WHAT is!!!

For everyone who complemented me on my review. Seeing all the nice things people said about my wedding kept me from being sad that the planning is over!!!!!

For the late night cheese crew--for getting me through my insomnia!

For everyone who accepts me even though I am an 05 bride.

There are so many of you out there that I wont be able to remember everyone in ONE thread so I'll have to go in spurts.

First, foremost and generally, I would like to say that LIW has been the most incredible source of support for me in bridal and non bridal ways. This past July I lost the first love of my life, my father, and the overwhelming outpour of support both publicly and privately (via FM) restored my faith in the goodness of people. To this day, you all continue to support me as I vent on this subject over and over and it is appreciated.

As individuals:

Hollie - Your strength and sensitivity inspire me daily. You offered me countless names and resources for bereavement groups. I hope to develop enough of my own strength to use these resources. I know I need to. You are an incredible LADY who stands by people in times of sorrow and joy. John is BLESSED to have you at his side. And you are marrying a 'porn star' so how lucky are you!!!

Janna -What an incredibly articulate and expressive individual you are! You are one tough cookie and I am glad we are friends b/c I would NEVER want to be on your bad side. You allowed me to share a very important day with you as you tried on your dress. We confide in each other and I know I can trust you. THAT means a lot to me.

Darlene - You have more common sense that I have seen in a long time in a person. Your logical thought processes make you an intelligent woman and I am sure, one hell of an attorney.

Sweet (Cin)dy - You always know where I am coming from and all too many times we think alike. Perhaps its our many years and similar experiences that allow us to have so much in common.

Cindy(and Kevin) - You smile. You jump. You are the essence of goodness and I never have seen (or heard) you speak negatively of anyone. AND you rock constantly in your t-shirt!

Kathleen - You tell it like it is. Much respect. You have no tolerance for the idiocy of others and that is an admirable quality.

Janie - You support and LOVE Bridal Reflections as much as I do (if not more) and are continually working on your 'pee' issue in order to withstand and tolerate my humor. NOT an easy thing to do.

Jaime (MayBride06) You just rock.

Princess Rose - You consistently enlighten and challenge me with your knowledge of our shared faith. You help me answer questions and you can relate to the plight of a woman who is marrying the son of a cranky Jewish mother.

Suven - You appreciate my snobbery. Enough said.

RedHead - (Where have you been?) You and I thought very similarly through the entire Terry Schiavo news story. You understood and supported my family's decisions in regard to my fathers failing health this year. It will not be forgotten.

There is so much more to say. I will have to continue as I think harder!!!

ETA:
Jen2999 - Your dog has allowed me to express my creativity in ways I never thought possible.

Many of you have helped me so much! and I am truly thankful!

I do have to thank 3 of my girls.....

Kristen- I don't even know what to say.....you Always know the right thing to say all the time! You have been a great friend!

Tricky - For being the little devil that sits on my shoulder....' I am so good it hurts' a toast to us both for getting through the year with out killing each other.....

And my Twin! she is the BEST TWIN ever!!!! Thank you for everything!

to you girls!!! and all on the boards!


OOOO and TJ! Many ALL the DAY's of your life be wonderful!!!

I know I need to edit mine. I started this thread after a particularly bad day in court. Now I'm waiting for FH (who is uncharacteristically late) to go to x-mas party.

Well I know I posted already BUT I just want to thank ALL LIW girls. I am so glad that I found this site. It has helped me so much both to plan my wedding and to deal with the emotions that go into planning this day!! I love you girls!!
