help!! need some reassurance!!

Firstly your dress is beautiful I had no idea the sash would be incorporated into your wedding in memory for your stepson. What a beautiful idea, that is truely a wonderful thing to do. I too am having the sash right down to the floor.
I agree that it is purely second guessing. As you have seen from my planning journal I bought a 2nd wedding dress as I too wanted that bridal feeling which I never got with the first dress. Once I had all the accessories with my new dress, I just fell in love and I'm sure you will feel the same.
I too, want to lose a bit of weight, but it's not the end of the world if I don't lose it all. Try not to be too hard on yourself, with all the planning of your dream wedding, I'm sure several pounds will come off without even trying
I am sure you will look absolutely stunning on your big day and I can't wait to see the pics to prove myself right

I LOVE your dress! That's actually more like what I was looking for but couldn't find in a dress!

Check out www.weddingtennies.com

They have some of the cutest wedding tennis shoes and flip flops I've ever seen! I really wanted a pair from here but I saw my sketchers and just went grabbed them up without thinking about it. My Sketchers were super comfy and I have real foot pain issues! If I had it to do all over again I probably would have not even worn heels at the ceremony. I only did it since DH is a foot taller than me!

ooooh thanks for posting that! I secretly wanted your sketchers REAL BAD!

BWAAAhahahahah!

Speaking of huge knockers, you could check Victoria's Secret for longline bras. They have a large inventory of bridal/special occasion bras on their website. Frederick's of Hollywood has similar styles that cost a little less cuz they're lower quality...you just have to get past the idea of actually going in/logging on to Frederick's of Hollywood!

sooo true, I'm such a chicken, I would need days of mentoring in order to log on to Frederick's!
For some reason the VS bras give me zero support or maybe I'm just not finding the right ones???
I think I just got used to using grandma wrapp around bras. I have my mom to thank for that one! jeez...

Michelle- Really, I love your dress because it centers the attention away from your stomach, arms, and the thigh area. That neckline will make people concentrate on your face, and right below it

Glorydaz- You are going to look absolutely stunning in that dress! I love it! AMAZING
I can't wait to hear more from you. Don't be nervous it will be GREAT

The Sketchers were super comfy! I am sooo glad I got them to walk through EPCOT in!!! I think they have them on sketchers.com!

you guys are absolutely the best!!! to Belle1981, Abbypan, Summer-Caitlin ( love your ring!), PrincessJen09, Swmhc ( beautiful gown - can't wait to see you in it!) and aprincess72 ( checking out Sketchers right after this post!) ... couldn't do this without you!!!

so last night I spent a couple of hours looking for the right undergarment - you know, the one that really makes my chest look outrageous, gives me a waist the size of Sleeping Beauty and takes away my belly - like that really exisits!!!! my seamstress says I need a strapless because the back of the gown dips low ( she is putting in lingerie straps for the bra) and she suggested a long line. still looking, I did find a couple online but I'm going to Macy's & Nordstrom's this weekend to actually try a couple on first....

shoes ( thanks aprincess72 !! ) ...I'm going for comfortable sketchers or tennies to wear because I will use them again and guess what? after the ceremony, I plan on going barefoot on the beach for my photos anyway ( weather permitting)

to my "online" family , sending you and much

Awww Michelle! This isn't my first marriage either and I've had 4 children so I totally feel you...I was a little intimidated looking at the bridal magazines and pictures of younger skinny brides, feeling like I could never look and feel like they did. I have, however, come to realize that I will look as beautiful as I feel and fully instead to be drop dead gorgeous! I can't wait to see you in your dress...it's gorgeous and I have no doubt that you'll feel very much like a bride on your big day! Let me know where you find that miracle bra...I'm on the look out too!

Have you looked at the spanx website? They have tons of what I would call innovative undergarments! I never could find half in the stores of what's on their site!

...also wanted to thank you for all the fantastic info on the GF - we are staying conceirge RPC for the first 3 days of our disneymoon!

Glorydaz, I haven't been on the Resorts Board in probably months now. ~Gulp!~ (*Suddenly feeling very guilty*) But I'm glad my old posts on the GF FAQ thread have proved useful to you.

I hope you have a lovely stay at the Grand Floridian Resort. It truly is my family’s favorite resort (and we’ve stayed in all of Disney’s resorts now so I can say that sincerely).

...just wanted to add - you and your hubby looked simply glowing at your vow renewal!

That was sweat. We were dancing up a storm and had no time to wipe the sweat from our brows.
