    Hehehe.  I have a little crush on Colton myself.  It seems like I fall in love with a rocker boy every season (James Durbin, Adam Lambert, etc.)

    [QUOTE]Elle - I do love my time to myself.  A lot.  When FI comes home late from work or being out with friends, I get annoyed because I'm in a groove of hanging out by myself and he keeps trying to touch me.  When we have the weekends to spend with each other,  I'm much more affectionate and don't need to be left alone.  
    Posted by yaga13[/QUOTE]

    Ha, yeah, I'm the same way.  FI always seems to come home right when I'm in the middle of something.  I'm always like "nooo, I'm not ready for you yet.  Go do something."

    I had my *third* interview with a company today.  With the manager of the manager who I'd be reporting to.  He told me at the end of the interview that he was pretty sure they'd be making me an offer.  So that's good.

    The only problem is there is a position a recruiter told me about that I'd be MUCH more interested in, but I haven't had an interview with them yet.  I spoke to the recruiter about it last week.  He said the hiring manager was OOT and that I should know something by the end of this week. 

    I guess I'll just have to wait to see what happens!  But it's nice to know that I may have an offer coming.  I can't stand my manager and need to get out ASAP.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Who's around? : I do enjoy a good cheeseburger. The bridal luncheon is where the bride treats the attendants to lunch as a thank you. But you know, no big. We get to treat you to a shower and a bachelorette. Or, you know, other festive events of your choosing. 
    Posted by LivLeighton[/QUOTE]

    Yes, but it is not required.  I thought it was more of a lunch where all the female family members and BMs got together. 

    I found two different things:  A "bridal" luncheon, where the BMs host the bride, and a "Bridesmaid" luncheon where the bride hosts the BMs to thank them for their help throughout the wedding planning process.

    I definitely wouldn't have thought of having one if my MOH didn't suggest it.

    Oh, yeah.  I like Hollie, too!  I was a fan of hers last season when she got cut in the last round before the live shows.  I was really glad to see her come back.

    Her little speech impediment kinda bugs me, though.  I'd much rather listen to her sing than speak.

    Thanks, Elle.  I don't know what I'm going to do!  I'm trying not to think about it until I *actually* get an offer.  Then I'll worry about it.

    Yaga - I HAVE been interviewing for forever.  Since August.  I feel like I'm getting somewhere now because I've been with my current company for almost 2 years and potential employers like to see that on a resume. 

    And you're right.  I don't talk about my job that much.  I vent a lot to FI and my coworkers, so I don't feel the need to do that here, and don't think you all would be very interested in it anyway.  Additionally, I am afraid of saying anything bad and it being found by someone somewhere.  I work for a very large company that is known by everyone (you can find out on FB if you're really interested), so I don't want to put anything negative out there.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Who's around? : Well yeah...I thought it was implied that none of this was required. :)  Everything I've seen uses "bridal" and "bridesmaid" luncheon interchangeably, and said that nowadays this event (if it is chosen to be given) is typically hosted by the bride. Am I wrong? 
    Posted by LivLeighton[/QUOTE]

    I am by no means an expert on this, so I can't really say if you're right or wrong, but I saw that on a website that it's different, and can be hosted by either the bride or the BMs, though it's more traditionally hosted by the bride or the bride's family.

    Elle, are we still going to HOP on Saturday??

    Why do they have a say as to when you can have your RD?  I think it'd be a little odd to not have one, but I guess that's just because that's what I've always seen done. 

    I DEFINITELY would not have my WP travel two weeks in a row.  Does that mean you need to have your rehearsal the Sunday before?  I don't get it.

    Hmmm....I'm bitchy enough that I would tell them to suck it and have the rehearsal dinner the night before without one of them. But I can see how you would want to avoid any drama that would result from that.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Who's around? : That is so weird.  I would think the WP would be invited over family.  They actually participated in the rehearsal, after all.

    <div>Yea, that's what I would have thought. A year and a half later, I'm still not sure what the reasoning there was. Her sister and his brother were the BM and MOH, so they went, but the other four of us weren't invited. Like four people were going to break the bank? Idk. We also didn't sit at the "Head Table". Just her, him, moms and dads, and MOH + date and BM + date. I learned a few things from her wedding. Like horrible BM dresses. </div>
