    what is your favorite movie quote???

    Yes! That whole "throw me a frickin' bone, I'm the boss, need the info" quote by Dr. Evil was hilarious. I also love "this one goes to eleven" from Spinal Tap.... One of my other current favorites: "Why spiders? Why couldn't it be "Follow the Butterflies?"" --Ron Weasley...

    Wedding Plans

    Congratulations! I am shooting for a late summer or fall wedding. We're still in the process of looking for a location, but I agree with Nancy about finding one location for both ceremony and reception. Less hassle, more fun! For those who purchased a Jessica McClintock wedding gown, did you...

    Happy New Year!

    Hi everyone, Here I am, 10 minutes into the New Year and already back on the Cathe forums! The fireworks in San Francisco were nice to watch live on tv, but it's just not the same as seeing them "in person." Well, hope everyone is having a fun and safe New Year evening. Here's to a...

    OT: Lord of the Rings : Return of the King

    >Three hours and twenty minutes of Orlando Bloom? No >problem. I admit, Legolas is quite the "hottie," though Aragorn is more my type :9 (Whenever the ads come on tv, my fiance says, "Your boyfriend's on." :) )

    OT: Lord of the Rings : Return of the King

    I second that! Saw it with my fiance the opening night because he is a longtime fan of the books. If you have been following the movies, especially the extended versions, you will not be disappointed. Be warned: it is quite long, so use the bathroom before the movie starts and don't drink a...

    You're the first to know...I'm engaged!

    RE: Brides on a Budget! No, you're not overwhelming me. I love researching stuff anyway, and what better thing to do research on than my own wedding! I will definitely consider buying that "Bridal Bargains" book; I am a big Amazon customer anyway and that title sounds familiar (okay, I admit...

    RE: Brides on a Budget! Thanks for the great suggestion, Danielle! I liked looking at your bio; what a great-looking couple you two make :). I think your wedding and bridesmaid dresses are gorgeous. I'm still so stunned that I'm engaged that it hadn't even occured to me that I can actually...

    You're the first to know...I'm engaged!

    Yes, I keep going back and forth on my decision. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry to hear that your mother was hurt. I hope she later understood the reason for your announcement delay. For me, at least I don't have an official engagement ring yet to spill the beans. My fiance...

    New DVD scratched up

    That's good to hear. The UPS man delivered my DVDs about 5 minutes ago and I had the same problem with the Timesaver one - loose in the case and all scratched up. I haven't tried playing it yet, but I will soon. I'm so happy that SNM will send a replacement without hassle if needed.
