For my gift bag. It's mainly women that are coming from OOT. I'm looking for ideas to show off Arizona. I have industrial strength sunscreen (SPF 90). A small spa kit. Cookies from Home out in Tempe....

After all the bashing of vendors I have done on this board recently. I think it is only fair that I give a huge kudos to a vendor when then bend over backwards for a bride. Strut on Mcdowell Rd and...

Hubby-2-B and I are ecology minded. We are having a small (very small) wedding for about 40 people. We are figuring roughly 8--10 people at each table. So we are hoping to get away with 4 round...

I found my dream dress. It's a Justin Alexander ball gown that is exquisite to say the least. I feel wonderful in it. :-). The price is 2000.00. A lot I know. But there is a Maggie dress that I also...

I'm meeting with a caterer tomorrow. I would love to have a plated dinner. But they keep sending me price quotes for a buffet. In general which is more expensive? I would think buffet because you have...

Yes, the wedding is still on. Just my sweetheart and I have pushed it back so stress isn't so much an issue. BTW found this great quote from Shakespeare that pretty much sums up how we feel about each...

I just wanted to thank you for your love and prayers. I'm feeling much better. I'm also sorry I scared all of you--I was not myself obviously. Hugs, Rhonda

This is Rhonda's sister Anne. Recently she posted a rather "disturbing" message on this website. I just wanted you to know that she is getting the help she needs to better adjust to what is going on...

I just found out that the oil spill MAY head up the east coast. It has already robbed people of their livlihoods, damaged the economy beyond belief, and the worst may be yet to come. My prayers and...

I got an email from a wedding planner announcing that David Tutera (you know he is my hero) coming into Phoenix. I got all excited and emailed the wedding planner to give her my RSVP only for her to...

This is the website that the wedding "planner" sent to me... http://www.businessofbrides.com/10/ One, planners we are NOT a buisness.. we are PEOPLE.. WE HAVE FEELING AND EMOTIONS.. WE ARE NOT A...

I have an appointment with a potential florist and wedding planner at my venue. Neither has ever been there before. It's not a new venue, it's been there for over 10 years. Any idea on what questions...

OK... Due to the anonmity of the net.. I need to ask a quiestion. My FH has been without a job for over a year and a half. With the wedding we want, I've been emotional and physically stressed out. He...

My FH wants to put his Desert Storm dogtags in my bridal bouqet. I have to admit--I am a fan of veterans--FH proudly served in the Air Force and Army. But I think this took me aback a bit. I'm not...

I need some TARP funds. I've cut the guest list down to 40 people. I'm looking at DIY stuff. I am not looking at CraigsList though. There are some stuff I won't do. Any more ideas on cutting costs??...

OK. Sitting here at work on my laptop. Emailing vendors I REALLY liked from a bridal show. Some I'm getting a 404 error, their voice mail doesn't work, their phone is disconnected, the web site...

I got a few price quotes from DJ's who can not only do music/MC but also my Las Vegas t

On the continuing saga for the dress. I found a store in Metro Phoenix that specializes in the more real world, real body, not a toothpick, "I have curves and damn proud of them" dresses. Including...

I went to the local Demetrios store here in Arizona this weekend. I found my dream dress. It fits with my theme, budget, and a chapel train covered in lace, pearls, and beading. My problem is I'm a...

My cake vendor (who I just got ahold of) does not want to give me a contract. Just an invoice. No signature from him. No delvery date. No delvery time. Not much is there. Am I wrong to want a CONTRACT...
