Well... its my turn to say goodbye.

Wow I can't believe its my turn to say goodbye. Its a little bittersweet because LIW has become a part of my everyday life. Every morning I would get to the office, and before checking my e-mails and having my coffee, I would log-in and check out the posts and chat with you girls.

This site has been such an essential tool in my wedding planning. I have gotten so many ideas, advice, and made some wonderful friends on this site. There is no way that I could have done it without LIW. Ron and Liz, from the bottom of heart, I thank you for creating such a fun and helpful site. Despite all the drama that took place, please know that you have created an amazing safe-haven for future brides.

My wedding day is going to be very emotional for Mike and I, our friends and our families. First of all on November 1 of this year, we are going to celebrate our 9th year dating anniversary. We have known each other since 7th grade, and I honestly fell in love with him the second I laid my eyes on him. Second, his mom is no longer with us. She passed away 4 years from cancer and she has been such an important part in our relationship...she always took my side when we fought (which we did a lot) and has been a mediator and our mentor...she will be greatly missed that day. And most importantly, despite everything that we have been through (and we have been through pretty much everything) our love for each other has persevered and here we are getting married to each other in 2 days.

I will truly miss planning with you girls! You are all very special and I had a blast on this site. I can't thank specific people because it would just take too much time, but I do want to thank my favorite people (you know who you are) and those that were not so favorite, because each and every single one of you have had a great impact on my wedding planning and I learned a lot from you.

Anita, Chris, Jess - I am so happy that you will share in my special day and I cant wait to see you fine ladies!

I am passing my camera on to somebody on Friday, so I promise you some pics by Saturday evening!

Gosh...Im actually tearing up here...its been great girls! Good luck to all of you and Im sure I will pop on here to wish you all a wonderful wedding day!

So long now!!!!!!!
