  maybe I got wording wrong - what's the kind of bar that guests don't have to pay? {i've never been to a wedding that had this, so I'm not familiar with it}

  @lavenderfields13 - Thanks! I've never heard of the Slim Series, I'll have to check them out.

  @eilis1228 see my above post in response to Beth. I just alternate a bunch of stuff- I should throw some new videos into my routine but I don't have much space for more DVDs! H is a CD and DVD hoarder and they're EVERYWHERE!

  @lavenderfields13 LOL I literally just finished reading your response to Beth and was going to edit my response to you. I love Blogilates! She is great! I did her stuff for a while and then did PiYo workouts. I go through phases where I do home workouts and gym workouts. My apartment has a couple of gyms on site, so I don't have to pay for a membership, which is really nice. I can just walk across the parking lot and work out, so no driving required. Sometimes I want to do YouTube workouts and just stay home, and sometimes I miss lifting weights and doing cardio on the elliptical. I haven't heard of the Slim Series before, but I'll definitely check it out!

  that's it!!

  Extra stag money went to having an open bar. We were originally just going to do a dry wedding because we didn't have the funds for that. And even though I've been to many weddings where it wasn't an open bar, we didn't want to do that.

  But that's still the guests' money going towards buying their own alcohol. Even if you label it as a free gift from you, the money still came from THEM.

  So you're having an open bar that your guests paid for?

  It's like you read my mind! I was going to post this exactly. Basically she just had them pre-pay for drinks and then pretended she paid for them...not cool.

  Ok, I think every OMH on NEY managed to have their wedding without a cash bar or partial cash bar and they didn't need any sort of S&D to fund it or any of their other upgrades either.

  Guys I miss you tons. They moved my desk location so that I'm more visible which = little to no ability to Knot.

  Also, I'm getting married in less than 4 months! AHHHHH! I got a lot of shit to do.

  That's right. How do you expect to please people when you're being rude and making them open their wallets like that?

  HOW IS IT A NICE GESTURE?! Your guests literally paid for their bar tab in advance. You didn't do anything nice.

  
  

  
  

  Well obviously she could have just pocketed the money and spent it on herself. Instead she let her guests give themselves a gift, very generous.

  I have zero clue @labro! It came up really quick. I feel like I'm going to blink and its going to be here.

  
  

  I still have to meet with a couple cake people and meet with the florist. I booked our hair/mu people, so I have to go for that trial. We still need to order invites, probably doing that sometime in the next month. Need to meet with the venue/caterer to pick our menu and finalize the set up plans etc. I need to make it to Trousseu's soon so I can get proper undergarments. We need to choose music, tuxes. We have all of our vendors, we just need to make choices now. It's the part I dread. And since most of our vendors are crazy booked during September and October, they are all asking to meet in July and August. I guess the good thing there is once the next couple months are over, I can relax until November, right?

  @beanbot2002 So much stuff!!! I don't know. My "honeymoon" period in wedding planning was definitely between May and July when all the big stuff was booked and I didn't have any little things. Then the showers started, and all those final details/final meetings/final payments...and yeah....no relaxing was had! Hopefully getting those final decisions made in the next two months helps you!

  
  

  What are you thinking for your hair and makeup?

  I've run into this too. I tried to go ahead and schedule my final meeting with my venue because she mentioned that she's really busy in the fall, and I think we're going to end up scheduling it in September about a month before the wedding. She told me to just email her my final numbers two weeks out. 0_0 Fall weddings are crazy!

  
  

  Please post inspiration pics for hair and makeup!

  Woo! Due to a crazy scheduling conflict thing, I got of work two hours early!
  @everyone I really learn a ton about what not to do for weddings on this board, even if I have never heard of the thing in my life (stag and doe) or thought it was common sense :P
  Re: responding, I try, but usually I am not home for long in the AM because I have to work, and since I don't work in an office I can't Knot on the job. I do read everyone and try to comment when I have something to say though. And on my days off I definitely try to be an active participant, it is just hard to keep up with sometimes.
  
  @swazzle I will check out that Best Buy sale! I am kinda curious about what Amazon's "Prime Day" will offer me on the 15th, its pretty hyped so I will be sorely disappointed if its not all it's cracked up to be lol.
  
  @caseface5 50 inches sounds wayyyyy too big for me lol but I know nothing of TV sizes so BF and I will probably have to go scope some TV's out first before I make any decisions on size. All I know is it would be nice to have something to mount on the wall so I can get rid of my dresser lol
  
  @CocoBellaF I have been putting off getting a new TV for the last year, but now that I can't see any nighttime scenes it's time for it to go, priority or not
  
  @alpacina THANKS! I almost feel guilty even though the TV is ancient and really needs to be replaced lol
  
  @minskat30 Thanks.. he doesn't exactly know that I've been feeling meh, I haven't seen him since Tuesday lol. Its better that way, I had time to get over it before seeing him tonight and picking a fight and ruining the evening.
  
  @twodimes big hugs, and I agree with cu97tiger. Do something fun while he is gone. BF and I have bickered before him leaving on a trip and sitting around moping and being mad is definitely something I have done, but it's not fun or productive and he is ALWAYS over it by the next day and I end up feeling terrible.

  @untouchablets what do you think about the prime sale? They've offered a 30 day free trial so random people can do it too lol I'm not even close enough to ready to make a big purchase at the moment, I feel like it's too soon before Xmas?

  I think they are trying to get more memberships, not necessarily for the holidays but just in general. Their streaming service is growing a lot and they just introduced same-day shipping in some areas so I think they are just trying to get more members to support their constant changes to the business. I personally love prime and use it all the time! I am just wondering if it's going to be the same price-slashing that you usually see for Black Friday, because they only say "more deals than Black Friday" and specify what kinds of items will be features but don't say if the discounts will be similar.

  I am ALL ABOUT Amazon Black Friday. I buy so much crap off Amazon when they do all those lightning deals. How am I supposed to scout the deals when I'm MOVING THAT DAY?!?

  Good excuse to take more rest time, haha.
