I think I've narrowed down my dress options to these four, but I cant pick one! What do you think? (bearing in mind that the wedding takes place outdoors in TX in July)

Dress 1:

(sorry if the pictures are too big!)

I love the first one!

I like #3 since it will be outside and in the TX heat :)

I like #3 too

i LOVE number three. by the way, i am crashing your wedding :lmao

I voted for #2

You can crash my wedding if you want to Ash! You coming to the UK or TX party?

I really like #2 I think it would be good for here in July and it is still very elegant :D

well i picked 4 but i liked 2 the best but i was thinking about the heat and it just seems like 2 would be a little heavier but 4 looks more cooler. but I do really like 2 the best. my hubby said 4 LOL.

oh and where in TX are you getting married at , maybe breezy and i will come crash your wedding too. and is it this year or next year.

I like dress one or 4.. I was trying to picture you in them and I think one of those two would be great!! they are beautiful!!

:lmao It's this July in Houston

Hey Sonia and I really do need to meet :hehe

I like #2 & #4 the best!

You are brave to get married in Houston in July! We got married in May in San Antonio & I about died of a heat stroke! :hehe You better stay well hydrated! ;)

What is your SO wearing?

Hey Sonia and I really do need to meet :hehe


well i wanna meet her too breezy so lets go crash her wedding LOL J/K sonia

:hehe

You're sooooo not joking!! :P You're welcome to come - I'll post details when I know them myself!

I'm still no closer to icking a dress - you ladies are no help at all!! :hehe

We're trying!

Seriously Sonia? :D
I would so come :D
How elegant is it going to be?

BTW where are you guys going to live?

Seriously Sonia? :D
I would so come :D

I have no clue - the mil's organising it! :hehe I'm going to make it as informal as possible - I dont want a proper reception, more a small party, hopefully in a restaurant or something. The ceremony itself is going to be outdoors but it'll be in the morning so it shouldn't be too hot!

It'd be nice to have people on the bride's side though - atm it's just my parents!!

You're sooooo not joking!! :P You're welcome to come - I'll post details when I know them myself!

oh did you mean this for breezy or for breezy and me and anyone else who wants to come.

of course you're welcome too :)

oh ok if you are going for simple then I like #4
I just really like the 2nd cause it is so pretty and elegant

We will be there then if at all possible :D

Cat tell your dh now ;) Going to look at dhs schedule my luck he will be work :reallymad

Cat tell your dh now ;) Going to look at dhs schedule my luck he will be work :reallymad
Hell, I dont know for sure if df can make the date yet!! :lmao

I love #1 because it kinda reminds me of mine :D but I like #4 too.

see i was thinking the exact same thing. i love dress 2 because of that fact but im just thinking for an outdoor texas wedding in july that might be a bit heavy. how long do you think the ceremony is gonna last sonia. if its not that long then you might be okay in dress 2 but if its gonna be a fairly lengthy ceremony then you might want to go with dress 4.

damnit dh is scheduled to work as of now but his schedule changes so freaking much that it isn't funny.
I will do everything I can think of Sonia to make it :D

The ceremony's gonna be as short as I can make it - my parents are already moaning that it's going to be too hot!

Hell, I dont know for sure if df can make the date yet!! :lmao
:hehe he will make it
they are usually good as long as they are in port :D

Hell, I dont know for sure if df can make the date yet!! :lmao


thats funny sonia. you cant get married without the groom silly LOL.. hey if breezy and i do come we get to go buy us a new dress. LOL im gonna try to see if i can lose 8 lbs a month before your wedding so i will be down 30 some lbs.


oh what day of the week is it and whats the exact date for now.

With the right paperwork, you can in Texas :D It's going to be July 8th - I dont think it'll change as the ship should be sra then, but with the Juneau you never know!!

Too funny about your parents lol

ok well if breezy can go i will be coming and we will probably ride together right breezy?

yeah Cat

So where are you guys going to live Japan?

yeah Cat

So where are you guys going to live Japan?

It's a little complicated.... I have to finish my PhD so I'll be in the UK for about a year. The plan is that df will hopefully get around to putting in his officer's package by Sept, which will take him back to the US. Once his training's complete, we were thinking of trying for San Diego, Hawaii or possibly Texas. It'll probably be SD though. Df really hates the Juneau - he wants to be out of there asap!

So did mine lol until he got VA then the Juneau didn't look too bad :lmao
that sucks that you guys would still be separated :(

sorry about the double post

So did mine lol until he got VA then the Juneau didn't look too bad :lmao

Dont tell me that!! :hehe :shock

The seperation will only be for 6 months - we'll just look at it like a deployment, only I'll be the one going. It'll be worth it in the end!

Oh I hear ya
actually we went to Charleston 1st and it was OK but not for us. VA is where we looked at each other and said hey you know the Juneau looks really good right now :hehe

Oh and that was a precom SOOOOO that was an experience in itself lol. A precom that had never been done before. :hehe

BTW where are you guys registered at?

well we would love it if you moved to texas sonia then we could see you more often. but san diego would be nice to especially if we end up going out there when the base in ingleside closes

Oh and that was a precom SOOOOO that was an experience in itself lol. A precom that had never been done before. :hehe

BTW where are you guys registered at?
You know, I haven't even thought of registering! With me being in Japan/Britain and df being in Japan/US, I really haven't a clue. Any ideas?

haha sorry I registered at Belks and JCPenny and nobody paid it any attention :lmao
We got what people wanted us to have lol

Yeah we would like for you to come here. I won't be going with cat though lol
my base isn't closing :)
So I am stuck here until 2008 (either Feb or July)

I'm leaving the choice of base up to df - I've never been to the states so I wouldn't have a clue. I think he wants Texas at some point - he wants to be on a mine sweeper at some point.

I dont think I'll register then :) I'm not too bothered about wedding gifts - to be honest I wouldn't know where to put them at the moment!

I hear ya :D
the minesweepers are what is leaving TX sorry hun
The pilots will still be here though

noooooooooooooooo! Where are they going?

It is supposed to be SD.
sorry NS Ingleside is closing around 08 or 09 I believe

rats! I guess it'll be SD then.

yeah that sucks
but they are Soooo small lol
we toured one with my sons Boy Scouts and I was like gosh I thought the Juneau was small haha it looks like a carrier to them lol

He's was on a destroyer for a while - they're pretty small too, I think. I think he just wants to be on a mine sweeper because they're only underway for a few months at a time (typically speaking) - we're a little fed up of him permanently being underway and we'd like some newlywed time!

oh I hear ya :D
Good luck hope he gets what he wants
I enjoyed Sd much more than here anyways lol
there is way more to do there ;)

Thanks :) Anything's got to be better than Japan!!

yeah and i will be in SD in 08 possibly. oh by the way they do crew swaps on the minesweepers. they have some based here and some over yonder LOL. the ships dont really go anywhere much around here i dont believe.

i like #3 but #4 is really pretty..it looks like it would be a good pick for the TX heat

I love the first dress!!!

well I guess we didn't help you at all huh!? :P
the sweeper are smaller thand a DDG though ;) dh was like thats ok too small for me lol

i am in love with number 4

I like 1 and 4...I think they both would look great with the bridesmaid dress you picked!! I guess teh ultimate question is how heavy did they feel when you tried them on? That will help make your decision since your wedding is outside!!

Of those dresses, I like #2.

I love # 1.
I like your taste in general. I really like more streamlined dresses like those you picked rather than the poofy princess style a lot of brides choose.

I like #1

I like number 3

i think dress one is the best in my opinion

They are all georgous but I love #3.
