Re: Where are all of my AUGUST 05 Brides?

I found my dress!!!! I am going with a monique luhlulier. (If only I could spell her name). It is the coco skirt with the Jacqueline top (cap sleeve). I am going with my girls for bridesmaid dresses this weekend. I mailed out my save the date magnets in December.

I figured out that I need a le mystere longline bra. I think I found shoes, but I am still looking. I also found some hair clips that I like (they cost so much though).

We met with the rabbi this evening. That went well (hug relief).

Good luck!
