Well ladies I am now in the planning mode. We booked the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel in Vegas for 10/13/07 and the reception hall for 10/27/06 here in Michigan. We are going dress shopping on 5/21 to start looking for dresses for me and my party (sis and best friend) and my moms dress. I am really getting excited!!!!

My parents are paying for the entire reception. We are paying for the wedding in Vegas. And thenfor decorations we are just going to come what may as to who sees what when.

I am so excited!!! After 12 yrs finally I will be married.

I'm glad everything is going smoothly for you.Did you get to use the free stuff you won? Like you're DJ.

By Tonya on Monday, May 8, 2006 - 08:33 am:

No the DJ was $1000 off of a $2500 package. We have a friends of the family who DJ's another who does photos and another who does cakes so we are using them for those 3 things and getting great great deals.

We are using the cruise for our honeymoon and the 2 nights free rooms for the Vegas hotel plus we are upgrading the cruise to 6 days instead of 4 and upgrading to a suite with a balcony instead of an inside room.

Plus I still have 2 more bridal shows that I am going to to try and win a few more things like tuxes for the guys and dresses for the girls.

Has it been 12 years?? Gosh time sure flies.. Hope it all works out well and that they are days you can truly remember..

Yes Bobbie it has been 12 yrs or it will be next Oct. since we got together the 1st time in 95. I am not counting the off time as off time. We were together for 3yrs then off for 3.5yrs and now together again for 4.5. So total 11yrs. We have had major downs but now are having major ups and it is great. We both did allot of growing up in the last 8yrs and things are good. Yes I know we have our moments but all in all it is good.

I cannot believe that I have been on this site (&mom2mom) for 8.5yrs (since I was 2 months pregnant with Timmy. You ladies are like a 2nd family to me. You are all awesome!!!

LOL, yes I remember them all (ups and downs) all to well.. And yes it has been a LONG time..
