I agree...when my hubby and I married it was atop a cliff overlooking the straits between BC and Washington - God's cathedral!

Oh, Cricket...that sounds awesome.
I hope you have some beautiful pictures to look at of that day.
Weddings are so beautiful. I cry at ALL weddings, even ones on T.V. shows! So, I know tomorrow I better take a towel with me to a very special wedding. My mom and dad are getting married again. She's 67, and he's 68.

Cindy

Do you have your dress yet, Dianna? It sounds like it's going to be a great wedding! I really like outdoor weddings. I found out I was pregnant about a month or so after I started planning our wedding, and less than a week after I had ALREADY BOUGHT my dress. First, we planned to let the dress out, but the weight piled on, so the store let me exchange my beautiful little 8 for a 12, then we had to let THAT out, and finally I had to buy a BRAND NEW DRESS 6 days before the wedding.

Jenn, I don't guess I have AIM, because I don't know what that is. ?? That's the other reason I need to lose weight, because we've been thinking about trying to get our son a brother or sister, and I'm terrified of starting where I am and gaining another 70 pounds. Not that that would necessarily happen, but it COULD. Anyway, I'll check out that ticker link tonight.

Vanessa- I'm so terribly sorry that you lost you son in such a tragic way. No parent should ever have to go through that.
But I think you're right about being positive. How about, "I WILL fit in to an 8 again!"

Cindy- That's so great! Good for your Dad and Mom, and may they have many more happy years!

Hmmm. Hey, Jenn! I set up a ticker, but sure enough, can't figure out how to make it my signature. I tried cutting and pasting the links in my profile. I tried the top link that they give you, and also the html one, cause I thought this board used html.???

That's so WONDERFUL! I second Geegee's sentiments - hope they have many more years together! I love weddings too - I cry before they even start the ceremony.

Me, too!

WHY? What's up with that?
I decline all wedding invitations for that reason!

Cindy

I once thought it was a chick thing but hubby cried at our wedding more that I did. And before the wisecracks start - they were tears of JOY!

I'm also going to a wedding tomorrow night - what a way to celebrate the new year!

I guess I need to make the resolution to keep my car cleaned out and drive by the recycling bin at least ONCE a week.

AND to not start smoking again, and to engage in a healthier lifestyle including diet and exercise. The list could go on and on, as usual, but I have about the same list every year.
Leslie

I like that. That's my resolution too - to be a better person today than I was yesterday and not to beat myself up about it on the days I fail!

I know any easy new years resolution...
CLEAN OUT YOUR PM BOXES ONCE A WEEK!!!! PICK A DAY EACH WEEK AND PUSH DELETE!!!
Weezie/Cindy ....you ready for the glove test????....take your pick which type glove.

Thanks and good luck to you Cricket! Sounds like you won't have much of a problem.

Seems like everybody gets caught up in the hustle-bustle lifestyle to where we forget what really matters...

Leslie

Cindy, we don't have any horses lined up, but a neighbor down the street has some. We may just have to ask him about renting them to us. It would be fantastic to meet my cowboy at the hitching post on a horse!

Geegeeburr, we haven't ordered my dress yet. The dress that I want, they are out of in my size. They only have XS and 2X left. I know I will not be able to get down to an XS and I don't think that I can eat enough to get to the 2X size in 6 months. I will probably have to find something different. It's a shame, though, because the outfit I wanted, I really liked alot. It is hard for me to find clothes that I like. When I do, they are either too small or too large. Sometimes I dislike Eve for eating that apple! My skin is the only thing that fits right, even though it is starting to "droop" a little here and there.

A resolution that I would love to be able to make and keep would be to quit smoking. I always mess that one up, so I no longer try. My resolution usually lasts for five minutes after the new year starts. Willpower is definitely something that I don't have! Or should I be praying for "won'tpower"? You know..."I won't smoke that cigarette", or "I won't eat that candy bar!" <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" />

Dianna

I'll save you the trouble of the "glove" test...

I'll go clean 'em out!


Cindy

Dianna...You would be very brave to do that!
I am scared to death of horses...


Cindy

Congrats on the wedding...I think its real neat to get "hitched" at "the hitching post"

I went to a wedding where the groom was in overalls and the bride, decked out in white/veil etc., rode down the isle on a donkey. Personally at that particular wedding I couldn't tell which was the real a$$....the one she was on or the one in the overalls! It was kinda cute tho...there were bails of hay for seating instead of chairs and an outhouse was the cake topper. :rolleyes:

WHY?
What would inspire someone to do that?

Cindy

Just changed your sig, huh?

I would make a joke here about this sig and how it relates to eastern Kentucky, but I guess I'll just keep it to myself!

Marriage changes passion. Suddenly you're in bed with a relative.

Don't try to scare me, Vanessa. It took me 25 years to reach this point again in my life. The first time I swore I would never do it again.

I like your signature, Cindy, because that is how I feel. I don't think I could live without him now and I think he was getting ready to issue an ultimatum.

Dianna

Cool!
Has quite a special meaning for me as well!


Cindy

Cindy, I am with you on the sig....we might have to compare Arkansas & Kentucky stories! I changed it because I got in trouble(keyboard in mouth syndrome) with the other one...now I am scaring People! :rolleyes: !

Dianna, don't be scared honey...I LOVE being married....I wouldn't want to be dating or single for anything in the world. Dating is more frightening than marriage...

And to answer the burning question about why she rode down the isle on a donkey....Arkansas...there are all kinds of crazies here. I didn't personally know the people getting married. I just catered it and had to do the cake with the outhouse on it (why did they do that?) I personally like to stick to tradition. An outdoor traditional wedding is the most beautiful wedding there is...and I have been to thousands of weddings (about 4 a week-end for years)some of the more simple weddings were the most beautiful.

Oh, and Dianna, my father~in~law and his bride of 6 years now dated for 21 years before tying the knot! 21 years!!!!!Everyday they ask why they didn't do it sooner! He just turned 80 last November...and has more energy than you & I put together!

We have something else in common!

Cindy

I am taking that as a compliment!!!! (no matter what anyone else says!)

Geegee,

The top one is the one that you want. You have to put it in the signature as an image, not a link, so its not a simple copy and paste thing. What I did was go to a thread and click "reply" then I hit the "image" button on the bottom and pasted the link that I copied. You know how when your still writing your post, you can see the UBB coding? Well, Then I copied that whole thing and pasted it into my signature in the profile page. You have to make sure that there are no extra spaces on either end of the coding. You can do it...I know you can!!
