    Sounds like fun!  Well, this weekend FI is finalizing his guest list (please pray for me, I have been waiting for this list for about seven months now.  Yeah.) and finalizing all of the liquor/beer/wine for the cocktail hour and reception.

    Ooh, sounds like fun. Can't wait to see your engagement photos brobin.  I'm sure they will be great with all the carribean festivities in the background. Make sure to post some when you get them.  This weekend is my bridal shower and I can't wait!!  I hope everyone has a great weekend!  :-)

    Sounds fun. I want to go to the festival. This weekend we're going shopping for more wedding stuff, like the flower girl basket, ring pillow, favors and much more. Tonight I'm going to finish my labels for the invitations and early Saturday, we're off to the post office.

    We are meeting with a DJ tonight and going out to dinner after that. I think tomorrow we might head out of town and goto a park or something. Just spend some quality "us" time. He has to work Sunday and I'll be at Church teaching the 3 yr. old Sunday School class other than that nothing exciting going on for us.

    Morning Ladies - Brobin01, have a great time with your pics and the festival. Christina - Enjoy your shower! Tomorrow is part of two of 3 for our e-pics and I'm getting ready to go downtown to search for the dress for epic #3 session. Then I have to race back to my hair appointment at 2:30, get my nails done at some point today and also go over to take back these shoes I thought I wanted to wear with my gown - oh and I need to pick up my gown today so that I have it for the BM's session with the seamstress next week because she is going to alter my gown for me. Whew! Busy friday, busy Saturday, I plan to rest Sunday.

    Yay, brobin! We're taking our egagement photos this weekend, too! I've been sort of blah about it, but this morning, I think I finally got excited... (I wonder if that's how the wedding day will be...) We taking pics in downtown Orlando in the late afternoon/evening, so hopefully we'll get some great lighting variations. Needless to say, Saturday I will be running around trying to get the mani, pedi, hair, and make-up together. Then Sunday is week 2 of our 13-week marriage preparation class (8:30AM!). I'll probably finalize the BM dress details on Sunday, too.

You look stunning with your FI in the planning Bio pic.As for me, I'm going to a sorority retreat and then FI and I are going to finalize Tux. Later on I plann to start finding address for the invites (not looking forward to that)HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
