Confessions Wednesdays!

avmn10 · September 2009

Alissa--I checked my contract, and it says that if I cancel, the deposit is nonrefundable

And I'm scared to double check with the photographer b/c I'm afraid to piss him off and still have to work with him (I just need to get the balls to say something!) I like his work, but after seeing some other knottie's epics (yours included!) I feel like I want something different....Courtney-I'm with you on the spray tan! I'm getting married in Feb. which means living in Boston I'll have been minus the sun for months. But I'm too nervous of what I might end up looking like

Vicki2914 · September 2009

alissa - you had me SRSLY LOL at the naughty, unethical things you would do to have amy's body! I so know where you are coming from. jaime - take the f'n pics. You will love at least 5-10 out of all the shots. They wont all be winners. Even when Sophia Loren took pics they didnt take just 1 - you will be fine!!! xoxo. BUT the pizza was not good!! Resist!! think with me ....dirt....water....dirt....water. I still look at my wedding pics and am mad I didnt lose at least 5 more lbs. You can do it - you DESERVE it! Mind you this is coming from a girl who has gained 5-7 lbs since her wedding and I am back to dirt and water myself. lol! amy - when I see your siggy, I just die. She is so perfect and so precious. You will fit into that dress. and if you dont, you dont. Get a new one. And I know this will prob be the most unpopular thing ever to say, but I think your body holds on to those last 8-12 lb while you breastfeed. I have heard from some friends that when you stop, those last few melt off. But breastfeeding is far more important than those last few lbs. Jill - you are such a doll and I love you to bits!! My friendships have ebbed and flowed too. Even through my long engagement, I lost a BM and it hurt, but it all shook out the way it was supposed to in the end, I even added a BM 3 months before my wedding and it was a girl I didnt even know when I got engaged! BUT this girl has become my life here in gville and you just never know what life will bring you.Jodi - Happy Bday!!!!

littleyello · September 2009

I confess...I am so NOT concerned with our wedding at all right now. All I can think about is getting a job and having money again.I have never been so broke and it makes me really sad.I wish we had won the $30,000 wedding giveaway from Sofitel. Being a finalist was great, but sucked that we didn't win.I have a phone interview in an hour for my dream job and I am sooo anxious/nervous. I want to tone up/lose 3-5 lbs, but again, at the moment, it's not on my list of priorities.

Vicki2914 · September 2009

oh and Court- you look amazing in all your FB photos. I know we are all tough on ourselves, but you really have nothing to worry about. Your photog is a professional, not some yahoo with a camera and if your friends can take pics of you where you look that good, the pro will just blow you away. danielle - if you stay in the city we can meet for a drink!!!!Its so hard to write back to each person and still try to work! whew!

Lacey36 · September 2009

I confess...1. I agree with Courtney, I am scared too about my e-pics, and wedding day pics and video. Im nervous on how they will look and hope they are what I want.2. Im still confused and don't know who to chose for my florist and need to make a decision soon. =(3. My guest list keeps growing and im over by like almost 20 people and I don't know who to cut. I guess thats it for now, that I can think of.

PerfectMoment2007 · September 2009

Court - Don't spray tan! My cousin always does it too, and on her wedding day I think she looked especially orange-y next to her white dress! You're beautiful the way you are and I think you will look amazing in your pictures!Amy - You still have time to lose weight and I'm confident you will look beautiful in your dress! Jordyn is very luck to have a mommy like you!Jill - Your wedding will definitely show you who your real friends are and are not. One of my BMs, who was one of my best friends since elementary school showed me how unimportant our friendship was to her during my wedding, and as a result, we are no longer friends! Just have fun and try not to let those things bother you!Jamie - Papa Johns Pizza....yummmmm......Okay my turn....I confess...1) I'm nervous about my videographer using cheesy typical wedding songs on my video. I don't want to be obnoxious and picky, but I kind of want to approve every song he uses lol...2) I recognize that the songs I would include in my video are just as cheesy, but at least I chose them3) My boss isn't at work today, so I decided I'm officially not doing any work today4) Still haven't written those thank you notes5) I tell myself I'm gonna start Weight Watchers again EVERY week, and EVERY week I don't start6)I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE UM v. FSU THIS MONDAY!!! woohoo3)

TtotheG · September 2009

Court - Joe does the same thing. The hamper will be right there and he'll leave his towel NEXT to it. WTF dude? lol Also, hi, you are totally hot. Look at you you beautiful thing! (p.s. can I borrow your hair for a little bit?) Jen - Knotting and driving? be careful! Amy - you will lose that weight! Look at all you are doing right now. You'll get it all done! And you have us all here to help! Don't ever hesitate to ask

Jill - Friendships tend to go through that growig apart growning together bit, huh? I'm sort of in the same boat... Jodi - HAPPY BDAY!! Jaime - If I could, I'd eat an entire pizza too... Ok - on to mine, and I'm sorry if they are a little Debbie Downer today... I was up all night last night and in a ridic amount of pain today... 1. I couldn't poop. Straight up. Sorry kids, it's a fact of life, right? So I call my Dr to ask what I should take. Milk of magnesia. Fab. 2. Instead of taking 2tbspns I took 4. BIG mistake. 3. I've been up since 3:30... not only did the crap work, but my painkillers started to make me feel sick. Good lord. I've been dying from both ends since 4am. 4. Woke up this AM at 10:30 to... MY PERIOD. 5. WTF? 6. I confess I'm just in a ripe foul mood today and hating life. 7. I'll get over it soon

TtotheG · September 2009

Daneille - August was my fav month to be out in the Hamptons. We'd go to the Classic alllll the time. We used to stop and get fresh corn and eat it raw. SO sweet. Aww. I miss NY!!

JillianLL · September 2009

Thanks Vic, Morgan, Elena, Tess, all the others...you make me feel so much better about it. I've come to terms that friendships come and go but sometimes I say "Why is this girl a BM?" Tess, your poor body! I didnt poop for a week before epics and took lax's...then all of a sudden! Flood gates! Sorry TMI ladies!

avee10 · September 2009

ok here goes...- I confess that I am really disappointed with FI's son's reaction to our engagement. I dont know if I've mentioned it here before but my FI is older and has an 18 year old son. When we announced that we were getting married he was not thrilled to say the least. He recently told FI to not even bother sending him an invitation to the wedding because he has no plans to attend. I know FI is heartbroken and this makes me really mad at his brat of a son, hopefully he will come around.-My dress is here only it doesnt fit! I tried it on and it is EXTREMELY tight. It zips up but I am very uncomfortable in it. I cant barely sit let alone dance in that dress. Let's just say that if my wedding were tomorrow, there is no way in hell I could wear that dress! I was shocked since it is the same exact size dress I tried on in the store, and it was perfect on me. I called the store and they told me the dress I tried on may have been stretched out due to so many people trying it on. They offered to take it back and order me a bigger size. But...are you ready for this?....I told her no thanks and decided that one way or another I am going to fit into that dress come May 22nd. I know I am crazy for doing this to myself!

avee10 · September 2009

PerfectMoment: I hear ya on the cheesy songs for the video. When FI met with our videoagrapher he showed us a sample video where the background music was Kenny G!!!!!!! I was like OMG this is bad bad bad!!!!! I asked him if we could tell him which songs to use, and he said "we'll talk about the details as the date gets closer" WTF??? I am so worried of what the video is going to look like but we are kind of stuck with him since it was included in our package.Oh well, hope for the best I guess! LOLWere you able to make suggestions to your video vendor?

courtneybrooke921 · September 2009

Alissa - I ADORE YOU - hahaha, unethical things. Thank you so much my love...don't stress for a second, your dress will fit. AND - I never, ever blow out my hair (unless we're going somewhere) - I'm so lazy!!!Danielle - I love you my New Yorker - thank you so much. Enjoy the hamptons!!! I love the city when it's empty.. I'll be there next Sat (the 12th) to see "Billy Elliot"!!Morgan - Thank you honey

EEK to the layoffs, thank god you survived!! hang in there - you're in med sales right?? scary, I work for j&j (not the sales side) and we're hiring I think (god forbid, but just in case)!Vicki - thank you so much... I really appreciate it. I saw you said to Jaime you wish you lost 5 pounds pre wedding - NO NEED, your body is sick in all of your pictures!!! littleyello - Good luck with your interview!!! I hope all your money problems become easier. Lacey - I am with you on the guest list info!!! It's so hard!!Elena - I'm thinking you're right - no spray tan?? EEK! Good luck with the thank yous!!!Tessaroo - Oy to the pooping and sicky feeling

Hang in there lova... it's bound to get easier soon. And it's worth it!!Avee - I'm sorry to hear about FI's son

That's so upsetting..hopefully he'll come around ASAP.. 18 years old, he should understand how exciting this is for you guys!!

avee10 · September 2009

oh Tess that sucks when it comes out of both ends! I had a bout with a stomach virus a few months ago and I wanted to die, it was not fun!Remember to drink a lot of water so you wont get dehydrated!

YHFoxtrot · September 2009

I confess that I have spent the whole morning arguing with FI about the epics... I think it's finally over though... trying to work out compromise... he SO doesn't want to do it... and is protesting doing anything "cliche" sigh.... he thinks he's so cool lol....Now onto everyone else!!!Courtney - I am soooo with you on the afraid of epics thing... I hate myself in pictures too... I am sooo NOT photogenic! Sending lots of good vibes to your sissy... I hope she has baby today too! I'm PMSing too and extremely iritable myself... Man I think we're sharing a brain today!Minerva - I am with you. I am freaking out about not losing the weight I want to lose for the wedding. I'm not even trying to be a 4 or 6, an 8 will absolutely DO! Right now I'm more like a 12. Sigh...Jen - Don't be scared to go dress shopping. You may think you know what you want and find something tottally different... it will be fun! Just go! Amy - You WILL get into that dress. You may not be in it today but in 2 months from now you will absolutely be there, ESPECIALLY w/ this diet. Don't even sweat it. It was ALMOST there... and you WILL get everything done. You have buddies like us to help you so don't even worry! P.S. When are we going candy shopping and buying the take out boxes? Um... do you really put on work out clothes just to make todd think you worked out? You crack me up that's hilarious! Joanne - I'm so jealous you get to see the change of seasons.... I miss that so much!Anovaxo - Who did you change photogs from and to? Jillian - I am so glad to have met you. You're such a great friend and so much like me it's scary! I think it's unfortunate that your girls have changed but I think that's what happens as you grow apart. If you need a stand in... I'm here

Mikeey - I'm the queen of indecisiveness. I have major regrets about everything I ever do... wedding related or not! It's the worst! Yay for your "staycation" so fun!Jodie - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You're not old... you still have so much left to your 20's!! Enjoy it! Now go mail that receipt ;)Kristin - I love HGTV too now that I'm looking into getting a house!!! Don't stress the STD's. Most people won't remember them...sad but true!Avm - Who is your photog???Cinthia - Don't stress STDs. You are over a year out so people should really give you a break!! lol. Alissa - How is your dress not going to fit when you have lost weight??? I am the SAME way as you w/ lazy lately. I'm still sporting the bert brows. Gonna fix that tomrorow finally! Danielle - I can't say I blame you for wanting to avoid the hamptons mad rush and all that traffic. Eek. I want your albums too... um... b/c yeah, I'm obsesseed w/ your photos! Morgan - I want two band too!! lol.... I am going to try and finagle (sp) the second one for my first anniversary though and just go with one for the first year

Congrats on surviving the layoffs!!!Wendy - I don't blame you for being less concerned with the wedding and more concerned w/ your job etc... Lacey - I'm with you on the guest list growing. I'm getting nervous about that now! And floral.. yeah, thats a tough one too!!! Elena - I'm excited for the game on Monday nigh too!! GO CANES!Tess - sending virtual hugs and cupcakes your way!!! Avee - I have the same concern about my dress b/c I orderd the sample size but I'm SURE that it was stretched out. If I don't lose more weight I may be screwed!!! Don't worry you'll get in it if you are determined!!

avmn10 · September 2009

Wait--do we not get to chose what music is played to our video?! I guess I just assumed we did...I'm using My Treasure Videos, and stalk his website to see new videos--some I LOVE b/c of the music, and some I think are bad choices....avee-I'm sorry to hear your FI's son doesn't approve of your wedding, that's an awful feeling, I hope he snaps out of it, SOON!!! Jaime-my photog is Brad's Creative Images...I like his work, but I fear I made a decision too soon, before I saw all that was out there. I like some of the different styles of other photogs. PS-I'm totally craving a hawaiian pizza now!

minerva0416 · September 2009

thanks for all the support ladies

ups783 · September 2009

Jaime: Dude, you couldn't look bad after a 100 pizzas. I look like short, round softball compared to you, and Lux made me look awesome. I honestly believe it's about showing how much fun you and FI are in your pics. Let that shine through. If your siggys are any indication, you should be Aokay!Amy: Man, you're like, hot. Seriously...you need to know this. Todd's gonna cry small puddles when you walk down the aisle. Just keep up the good work...and don't stop breast feeding! I hear it makes you lose the weight faster! I confess...1. That I wish I had some (if not all) of Jaime's pizza. 2. Breast feeding kind creeps me out a bit...you know, small human sucking on you (sorry for being graphic...lol). I'm sure I'll feel differently when I have a baby though!3. I love my birthday month. I celebrate all month long. Something about September...just makes me feel all cuddly!4. I've been wondering how late is too late for Trash the Dress pics. I was thinking anytime before your one year anniversary??5. I need to drop at least 30lbs before even think of TTD pics! Keep putting it off, but I need to get serious about it.I spent my entire engagement so stressed out about my weight that after the wedding I sort of had a binge party. And the party is still going strong! I've promised that I will greet 27 with a new plan under way to improve my life!btw...chec out ths blog...it's really inspired me to get things under way. Best blog after Style Me Pretty..lolhttp://www.marcandangel.com/

Kitty315 · September 2009

OMG.. it's up to 4 pages now! Last I looked it was on 2. I never catch a confession post when it's on the first page! Here goes..Courtney - I'm also very terrified about how I'll look in pics and video. Between my round facial features, the semi-lazy eye lid, and these Cuban hips.. I is afraid! I think it's normal for everyone to feel this way especially when you look at yourself in the mirror and like what you see but then someone takes a picture of you and you think "That's not what I see in the mirror!". That feeling is heightened when so much of the spotlight is on you. I'm horribly self conscious about my body all the time so I try to remember to stick my chin up a little for photos, stand up straight, turn this way.. omg it's exhausting. lol Bottom line.. you're a little hottie. =D *hugs* How is your sister doing? Did she deliver yet after being induced?Minerva - Keep at it and you'll make it to your target size. Just focus and be determined to meet your goals! Sorry about the company business.. hopefully it will all work out and FI won't have to stress anymore.Jen - I'm picky about dresses too. Don't put it off!! Give yourself plenty of time to find the right one. I too used to want to rip people a new one.. now I'm more subtle about it. One liners, snarkyness, etc. I actually try to be nice to people now, too.. I hate growing up..Amy - You're going to get back into that dress!! If I have to come by and stuff you into one, dammit it's gonna happen! I always hear the weight comes off easily at first and gets harder to shed the last remaining pounds. And stop wearing work out clothes and not working out.. lol.If you need help with wedding stuff.. let me know. I'm more than happy to give a helping hand.

And Jordyn is just too cute.. so so sooooo cute!Joanne - I can't wait for Fall either. Unfortunately there isn't much of a difference here in the fall but it's closer to the holidays and family time. Can't wait! And dude.. 3 months!!!Arlyn - You're 2 months away! How exciting! Glad the photog change worked out. Who did you end up going with?Jillian - I get how you feel about friends/bridal party. I feel the same with my MOH.. I know the friendship is pretty much over and I asked her to be my MOH because I got caught up with the moment. I regret it now big time. And she's the only person in my bridal party. I think people just grow apart.. it's normal. We all grow up and change then realize that we're not all on the same page anymore. I experienced it early on..Mikeey - Wedding planning messes with the mind. I think half of us can't make up our minds about a lot of things. What Miami Spice restaurant are you going to?Jodie - That would scare me too. Hope you're having a great birthday and mail that receipt already!Jen again - Pay attention to the road! Do I need to show you that PSA everyone's talking about?Bella - Renting or buying? Don't give up on the search.. you will find something. HGTV and home searching shows are the devil. They always gift something to someone. And you can always tell which house they're going to pick when they draw into the scene where things could go. I need to figure out how to get on those shows.. lolavm - I hate when people turn out like that. You expected this of them and you're getting the exact opposite. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. =( I hope your photog issue works out. Cinthia - I think you're ok with the STD's... it's a little over a year away. Another 3 weeks and two days won't hurt.

You know guys don't normally plan so far in advance.. lol. At least they gave it to you now and not two days before..Jaime - I'm looking forward to your e-pics!!! We're meeting with Ashley on Tuesday. Where will you be shooting? How long do you shoot for? Sorry you fried your back. =( I know how that hurts.. now you know for next time. Alissa - You're going to fit into your dress. Not only that, but you'll look gorgeous as well. The same dress cram fitting services I'm offering to Amy, I'm extending to you (or any bride for that matter). I'm jealous.. I want to go cake shopping!! Soooo yummy. And about the hair.. I tried to get it cut a few weeks ago and the guy did such a crappy job and still left a lot of length which I wanted to get rid of. I'm about to take the scissors to my own hair and just cut it straight across the way I like it. I'm not into all the new techniques for cutting hair. He cut my bangs slanted!!! wtf?! ugh! Danielle - How much longer for your albums?! O_o Huge crowds make me grumpy.. that many people in one place just.. I don't know.. just bad.Page 3 and 4 now.. almost there... Pink Shoes - Paying the vendors freak me out. Which reminds me.. I need to move some cash around. lol About your job - just do your thing and continue to do well.. hopefully you won't be laid off. =\Wendy - Good luck with your phone interview!! I hope you get your dream job. ::vibes::Lacey - Is saying you lost the guest list and starting over an option? lol Who are you floral finalists? GL!Elena - My boss is at work and I haven't done squat. Except try to reply to this post! Who did your video?Tess - Sorry you're having such a hard time. *hugs* I really hope things get better soon!! Avee - How horrible to get that reaction. I'm sorry you're both dealing with his childish behavior. And you'll get into that dress come next May! You can do it!!UGH!! I think that's it! lol.. sorry for the novel.. this took almost an hour and a half. Somewhere along the way I added my confessions into replies. Sorry!

TtotheG · September 2009

Kitt - If there was a confession reply award, you'd win. Holy goats! That was a major reply. Lol!

goldie3474 · September 2009

Irene - you are my confessions hero. that was amazing!

PerfectMoment2007 · September 2009

I used a photographer/videographer company...so my videog is Domino Art too!I ended up sending a few of my own song suggestions...I know they're actually cheesy too, but at least they're "our" songs

latinachica29 · September 2009

Kitt: I was gonna try...but I'm like nah..lemme just go back to my margarita instead!

RU3234 · September 2009

Ok I confess:-My job gets in the way of everything. I want to plan my wedding all day but Im stuck at work and I cant get on ANY websites!-I am completely stressed about my wedding website because I am not creative and my sister will find everything wrong with it-Money is getting tighter and tighter and I just found out that I may have to move to Savannah, GA for the 8 months before my wedding!I know I dont all you ladies too well but it is so nice to be able to vent sometimes!

rclnd83 · September 2009

Im so late...BUT here it goes..I confess1) I like that fact that I have my master and im able to put it to use BUT cant I just wait until after the wedding.2) Kindergarten teaching is awesome, BUT i wish i was in upper grade, just for 40 more days (30 for planning and 10 for HM). Some of them still cry for their mommy.3) Besides having OOT guest im also having all their OOT doggies come too. HOW do i keep them all seperated and quiet.4) I wish my sister was here! Miss her a LOT! She lives in Hawaii.5) Sometimes I just want to sleep all day. I think i might have Nap time for kindergarten, j/k (that's no longer allowed in MDCPS)

Kitty315 · September 2009

Tess - That was a goat of a reply.. lol. Took forever, too.Alissa - Aww.. *blush*Elena - lol as long as you approve cheesy, then it's ok.Joanne - mmm.. margaritaRU - Isn't work irritating? I know my most creative hours, wedding wise are late at night or during work hours. I can't get anything done during either time! Don't worry about what your sister is going to say. It's not her site nor is it her wedding. Do what makes you (and FI) happy. =)Gladys - No more nap time in kindergarten?! Why?? =(
