Jennifer & Andy - August 19, 2007

[ladymelissa]

I voted in the poll, but I will tell here that I love #1! It is so joyful and conveys such love and intimacy. #2 seriously looks dead, the bride is aloof and staring off into space.

[BriansBride07]

I just love #1 it shows the love in the bride and the groom more than #2 does. JMO though. The reason I don't like #2 is b/c the bride looks disinterested.

[Panthers Bride]

I much prefer #1.

[KMS]

When does the voting end??

[jeni740]

Just now it ended I just barely won!! I won #1!!!!!! Someone else started bidding with 20 seconds to go phew I am glad I was home to bid against her!!!! I love the Lenox collection :)

[Panthers Bride]

Yeah!!! :grinhappy:

[ladymelissa]

Congrats on the win! Isn't it a rush?!

[nic1124]

Congrats on winning the topper!

[Twigler]

Congrats on winning the cake topper! It is going to look great!

[jeni740]

Jeesh I cant believe how good I am doing with shopping, I am quite a bargain shopper lol here is my breakdown so far:

Shoes 9.99
Cake 48.00
Tiarra 11.99
All Flowers 40.00
Cake topper 50.00
Ribbons 20.00
Favors 37.00
Guest book(hallmark had a 85% off sale) 7.50

Lmao so far the most expensive thing besides my dress is the cake topper. I had to have it though, it was one of those things where I looked at it and saw Andy and I. oops I didn't mean to post it again Oh well there it is.

[jeni740]

Oh I forgot to post my shoes, these are really comfortable the other shoes that I really liked had a comfort level of 0. They hurt within 2 minutes of putting them on. These I can wear all night671

[Twigler]

I love your shoes! they look like they will be really comfortable. I did the same thing you did, I went for comfort. I would've liked a higher heel, but I would've been hurting all day, and that is not worth it to me!

[NicksBride]

Those shoes look comfortable, that is what i was looking for COMFORT! hah

[ladymelissa]

The shoes look like an excellent choice! Are those the ones with the nasty seller?

[jeni740]

The shoes look like an excellent choice! Are those the ones with the nasty seller?lol yep these would be the shoes lol, I wrote a letter to Ebay, because she is giving a lot of nasty feedback to everyone that gives her bad feedback and to me that is just not right.

[SaralovesMike]

lol yep these would be the shoes lol, I wrote a letter to Ebay, because she is giving a lot of nasty feedback to everyone that gives her bad feedback and to me that is just not right.

Good for you!! I dealt with a real monster a few years back that did the same thing. I think she's gone for good now.
Congrats on all your bargains!

[jeni740]

Good for you!! I dealt with a real monster a few years back that did the same thing. I think she's gone for good now.
Congrats on all your bargains!Thank you so much, I have been told that I sometimes come across too harsh or that my opinion is taken the wrong way and I know it myself sometimes that maybe someone did not deserve how I treated them and I will always apologize if I feel I am in the wrong, but not in this case. When it comes to something I bought and people are rude about it I will get every pennies worth of my stress by voicing my opinion and making them know that they won't talk to me like that agian. I definetly got my point across loud and clear in the end :chair: maybe next time she will get lucky and the PMS will of gone away :)

[Jacklynn]

Congrats on getting the shoes! They do look pretty comfy! I am sooo stinking short, I had to go with a tall shoe sadly

[jeni740]

Ok so why do I keep doing business at Ebay??? I am glutton for punishment thats why. I still have not received my cake topper I won 2/27, it is now 3/8. He emailed me on 3/4 to say he was sorry he never shipped it due to weather (remind me to use that excuse when I dont want to go to work, come on now I live in NY don't tell me about bad weather) and he would be shipping it that day, well I figured he would be nice because he took so long to actually ship it that he might use UPS or something quicker. NOPE. So here I am once again stewing over a purchase from Ebay. Its odd every other purchase except the last two were ok, these ones are absolutely horrible!!!!!!

[BriansBride07]

Did he have good rep. When you first placed the bid???


I hope you get your topper soon.

[jeni740]

Did he have good rep. When you first placed the bid???
I hope you get your topper soon.yep his was 100%, I feel bad he had a snow storm, but so did we and I still did my daily routines. I hate excuses especially bad ones, and now he hasn't emailed me back when I asked him if he really even shipped it. The thing cost me $50.00 I want it in my hands soon.

[BriansBride07]

yep his was 100%, I feel bad he had a snow storm, but so did we and I still did my daily routines. I hate excuses especially bad ones, and now he hasn't emailed me back when I asked him if he really even shipped it. The thing cost me $50.00 I want it in my hands soon.

Wow, that's sad I mean if he has 100% rep. and he is still coming up with BS excuses. I don't blame you for $50 I would want it in my hands also. I guess some people over react to a couple inches of snow. I hear you I go about my daily routines also in a snow storm. It must be the northerner in us. LOL

[jeni740]

Well now its 3/10 still no wedding cake topper, it is funny he said he tried to ship it UPS, but that they were very behind. HMMMMMM yeah I dont think so. Seriously I could of driven their by now. He is only 2 states away. 12 days since I won it and my aggravation is starting to get the best of me. It better get here today or I am getting a refund. I have to bring the topper to the cake ladies house this week so we can see if the cake can hold a 2 pound topper, I may have to change cakes :(

[jeni740]

Yes I am a complete moron. The shoes that I got from ebay that I was so ticked off about because they were dirty actually were NOT dirty. After I opened the shoes I was so disgusted with them I threw them in the closet,well this morning I took them out for the first time and was looking at them and saw a little corner of the bottom of the shoes lifted, so I realized it was a clear sticker!!!!! The shoes had protective clear stickers on the bottoms of the shoes that were dirty, so when I peeled them off both shoes I realized that the shoes are brand spankin new not dirty at all. I felt like such an idiot, I emailed the seller from ebay and apologized and I removed my negative rating that I gave her. UGHHHHHH I cant beleive I didn't notice the sticker!!!

Now as far as the cake topper, the guy emailed me yesterday to say he was in the hospital and they had a snow storm and that he did ship it and it is in PA right now so I paid for it 2/27 it is now 3/12 he never actually shipped it until 3/7 which I think is pretty crappy, but what am I going to do? I am just crossing my fingers it makes it here in one piece. lol

[SaralovesMike]

Oh no!! Hey, at least you apologized. I guess that's why they call us "Bridezilla's" huh??

Hopefully you get your cake topper soon! *crossing fingers*

Thank you so much, I have been told that I sometimes come across too harsh or that my opinion is taken the wrong way and I know it myself sometimes that maybe someone did not deserve how I treated them and I will always apologize if I feel I am in the wrong, but not in this case.

I definetly got my point across loud and clear in the end :chair: maybe next time she will get lucky and the PMS will of gone away :)


LOL!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with telling people how you feel! At least they know that you are going to be straight forward and tell it like it is.
I wish more people were like that!

[nic1124]

At least you admitted to your mistake and apologized for it. It happens to us all your not a moron!

[ladymelissa]

I am glad the shoes weren't dirty! And at least you apologized. I am a little curious as to how that much dirt (enough to notice and complain about) got on the stickers.

Good luck with the cake topper, in any event you could always give him negative feedback with a note saying it was very, very late getting there.

[jeni740]

Good luck with the cake topper, in any event you could always give him negative feedback with a note saying it was very, very late getting there.They were pretty dirty, when I first got them I showed them to Andy and he asked "are those suppose to be new" the stickers were fitted so perfect that it was impossible to see them on the shoes lol. I feel kinda bad for the cake topper guy, he said he was in the hospital and the weather was bad he never even mailed them til the 7th, I kinda believe him, but I kinda dont. I just hope it comes in one peice lol.

[jeni740]

I fianlly got my cake topper, it is very large!!!! I love it, but I know I have to switch cakes, I dont think I can have my cake on the pillar things anymore. I picked out a new cake what do you think?I have to drive out to meet the cake lady in the morning tomorrow and I think this cakes is very pretty. 679

[nic1124]

Glad you recieved it in one piece. I think that cake is beautiful!

[Panthers Bride]

I really like that cake. I think the topper would look lovely on it.

[BriansBride07]

Great 2nd choice for a cake. I think it will work out great. I am so glad that you finally received your cake topper.

[NicksBride]

PHEW! Glad to hear you got your cake topper, Ebay can be really nerve wracking at times. I love the new cake you picked out!

[jeni740]

Well great news I dont have to switch cakes, she is just going to make my original one a bit larger and have the pillars be a stronger type woohooo!!! She is going to do my cake Ivory and pink and as a bonus I decided to get a grooms cakes that is going to be chocolate/chocolate with chocolate roses for only $6.00 so my cake with his cake are total $54.00!!!!!!

[Jacklynn]

$54.00?? That is a steal! The 3-tiered cake alone is like 375 for me, and then Matthew's groomsman cake is like another $75. It's going to look great as well :)

[SaralovesMike]

$54 for both- WOW!!! That's a great deal. I'm glad your cake topper arrived finally.

[NicksBride]

THat is a wonderful deal!!!!

[BriansBride07]

Holy $54 I guess it would of been worth the 4-5 hour drive for me to make at that cost. Great find. .

[KMS]

Oh my gosh...that's an awesome deal on the cake price. You deserve a big "congrats" for that!

[nic1124]

Wow! that is such a good deal.

[jeni740]

[hummingbird521]

i love the tux choice. gorgeous. i think the pink will look wonderful with it. i wish i could have gotten jerry to wear pink.

[jeni740]

I have not posted much in my journal in about a month not a whole heck of alot is going on. 4 months to go I am still buying little things here and there my shower in June 10th I put 40.00 pillows on my registry LOL they are awesome though they are so soft. I picked out a new comforter on my registry (my mom bought me both already I peeked lol) I cant help but look. I have been sick for about a week with the flu and both cats have had it. Bear has it now and it is not pretty. Snowball is going to go to the vet tomorrow to get checked. I miss alot of my old OW friends and if you are lurking
HI THERE!!!:hug:

[hummingbird521]

Are you feeling any better at all? i have been wondering about you.

[jeni740]

I took some Tussenex last night and tonight so I am very groggy, I have no voice at all, but my headache is finally going away along with the stress that went with the headache and I actually slept like a baby last night unlike the 3:45am wake up the other day. I hate it when bear gets sick though because he is so fat and he gets little booger bubbles all over himself :(, he looks pretty pathetic as I am sure I do right now too lol

[hummingbird521]

at least your headache has gone away and that is a blessing. i had one for over a month i couldnt' seem to get rid of. i guess it was allergies and my bp being so high. finally under control now. i hate when the animals are sick too. almost losing my babycakes last week was so hard on me and DD.

[NicksBride]

awww I am so sorry you and your poor kitties have been sick. :( I hope you are feeling a bit better. Try Airborne, I have been taking it now for about a day already I feel better. BUt get lots of rest and hopefully your poor kitties will get better.

[jeni740]

awww I am so sorry you and your poor kitties have been sick. :( I hope you are feeling a bit better. Try Airborne, I have been taking it now for about a day already I feel better. BUt get lots of rest and hopefully your poor kitties will get better.the doctor put me on an antibiotic and the Tussenex has codeine in it which works pretty well I might say, I have never heard of airborne? What is it? By the way I hope you become a MOD you would be aa really great one :)

[NicksBride]

the doctor put me on an antibiotic and the Tussenex has codeine in it which works pretty well I might say, I have never heard of airborne? What is it? By the way I hope you become a MOD you would be aa really great one :)

aww thank you that is so sweet of you to say. :) Airborne is a fuzzy drink that is supposed to boost your immune system and get rid of sickness when you have it. It tastes like OJ and does work really well. Many girls on here have told me about it. Hopefully what your doctor gives you works just as well!

[SaralovesMike]

I hope you and your little kitters get well soon!

[shawnsgirl]

I hope you are feeling better!!!

[Panthers Bride]

Sorry you and the babies are sick. But I am glad to see you back.

[cowboysbride]

Feel better soon, and the kitties too!

I took Airborne before I got pregnant. It's little orange tablets you drop into water and they dissolve (like alkaseltzers) and you drink it. They don't taste bad and I think they really work!

They were developed by and elementary school teacher to ward off sickness...basically they are huge amounts of vitamin C and other good vitamins to boost your immune system!

[jeni740]

Got some new pics all the flowers are going to have babies breath added into them the day of the wedding. They look pretty real in person. I am very happy with the way they look :) ,

Bridesmaids flowers 816

[shawnsgirl]

I know Jonelle I am so excited time is flying by!! I got a new judge to perform our ceremony she is a patient of ours that said she would be delighted to do it for free, I want to give her a gift though, any suggestions?

Do you know any of her interests?? Does she have a planner or anything..Maybe a covered planner or note book with her monogram in it along with some stationary?? Maybe some sort of knick knack of something she likes... I'm not sure..if I knew maybe more about her I could give you some more ideas...

[Panthers Bride]

Wow, it's getting down to the wire! I hear you on the weight thing - only I've got lots more than you do. Let me know if you have any tips, or if anything is working.
Oh, BTW, what the heck is an underwear drop?

[jeni740]

Lmao the girls that are invited to the shower all bring a new pair of sexy underwear to the shower and the fill an umbrella with them then they drop them on my head at some point throughout the shower lol

[NicksBride]
