COOOOOOUGS (a.k.a SPARKALICIOUS)!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pocahontas]

Hehe, I know a GLOing secret about you....let's just say I'm glad you didn't have to sell a kidney 'cause I like your kidney too! And, yes, you do look sexy

LOL!

 

[honey22]

Ok Spark! What''s going on?!?! Spill it girl!!!

 

[Porridge]

Cryptic!!

 

[Sabine]

OMG! I know what you are talking about!!!! I''m so excited for you if it''s true!

 

[iheartscience]

I know what you''re talking about, pocahontas!

And let me just say that it blew my sister''s mind that I knew you!

 

[pocahontas]

Honey and Porridge, I don''t want to say anything unless Sparks feels comfortable spelling the beans herself...hopefully she''s okay doing that ''cause it''s pretty fabulous!

Sabine, I know it''s super exciting, right?! I really hope Sparks sees this thread and responds soon ''cause I''m dying to know the deets.

Thing, ha! DH had a similar reaction. Isn''t is crazy?!

 

[Dannielle]

I have no idea what is going in

SPILL SPARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[blondebunny]

I know!! I was so confused when I watched it, because she didn''t buy it there. Liars!!

 

[Sparkalicious]

Poca -

The jig is up! #*#%$#$%! My secret is not safe with you.

Oh honey - what a train wreck!

As BB stated, they lied. I did NOT say Yes. I think that you know that but for some reason they said that I did. I wish that I could have but I just couldn''t so I went the other route and am really super happy that I did b/c my dress is gorgeous and was a LOT more reasonably priced - which was essential given my situation and the fact that I was not quite ready to part with my kidney and given the economy, I wasn''t able to fetch as high a price for my kidney had I gone through with the sale.

I have attempted to delete the experience from memory, however, it''s just not working.

Blasted re-runs.

Thanks so much for the sweet compliments. I really appreciate it. I feel as though I looked terrible and experienced that hot cheeked embarrassment ... In person, everything was MUCH more flattering, however, given the too small for me sample size that accentuated the negative, it did not translate well and, quite frankly, I looked like a hot mess, in my estimation. SOOOO ... it is really, really nice to know that not everyone feels that way as we can sometimes be our own worst critics. Thank you, truly.

FI said I should trademark GLO, however, I''ve revised it to GLOW by adding a Wow and I''m glad to say that I did attain that factor with the dress I''ve purchased, which is an amazing replica or designer stunt double. I can''t wait to show it to you once it''s all altered and pure fabulousness.

My family and FI loved it and thought it was so "me" as my personality really reflected accurately so, for that reason, it was a positive experience, however, other than that I continue to cringe. Random internet people on various blogs have done a amazing job thrashing my appearance and criticizing how I looked and this is most disheartening and self-esteem killing, however, it is nice to know that "my" internet friends/PS ladies, to who''s fabulousness I aspire, are so supportive, positive and sweet.

Thank you - from the bottom of my heart.

Sorry to be a total donkey, but what the hell are you talking about Sparky? We are a bit slow Down Under?!

 

[VRBeauty]

Hmm... twenty questions time.

Does this secret involve a television show?

Haven''t figured out the "GLO/GLOW" thingy, but it sounds like the rest of it was that she was maybe on "Say Yes To The Dress," possibly?

LOL! No Honey, you are not a total donkey or being slow. I''m just being cryptic.
Thanks for the laugh though ...

VRBeauty - As always, you are all over it!

Yes, Ms. Gwen, you''re right.

GLO is an acronym I made up to help describe what I was looking for in a wedding dress - so silly.

G- Glamorous, L - Luxe, O - Opulent, and ... W - Wow factor

 

[FrekeChild]

Well I for one thought you looked beautiful. So all of those people who have been talking trash can stuff it. Seriously.

Ooh, I like that acronym! Just might steal it, bwahaha...

I haven''t seen the show, honey, but I am sure anyone who was less than polite on forums is just letting out bridal anxiety or something, AND I bet none of THEM would have the balls to be on TV! You no doubt looked gorgeous, sweetie. Don''t let a bunch of catty wenches bring you down. You''re way too fabulous to worry about what those little peabrains think!

 

[mrscushion]

That''s what I thought it was, but I wasn''t sure. Anyhow -- it''s great that you have a dress that you absolutely love!

 

[packrat]

I saw the first couple posts here this am, had NO clue what was going on, and then just a short while earlier this afternoon, was painting my daughters nails, watching TV..oogling wedding dresses. My little girl was going nutso over a certain woman, her beautiful dresses and-her hair! Then I get back on here, in this thread again, and I''ve got a little tickle in the back of my mind...hahaha it''s you! So yeah, my daughter wants to have hair just like yours when she grows up, and she liked the "sparkledy marry dress". I thought you looked fabulous!

So..you didn''t get the dress, tho they said you did..what did you end up getting?

 

[Sparkalicious]

Thanks mscushion - It is truly a relief to have a dress that I love. It took a while to get there.

Packrat - Ha! What a coincidence. Small PS world, huh?

That is too stinkin cute. What a sweetie! Please do attempt to have her liken you to a rockstar by telling her that you "know" that lady in the "sparkledy marry dress" and she says - thank you very much, sweetie. When she grows up she will realize that she does not want my hair - too much maintenance.

I ended up getting a Designer Stunt Double dress. It is a replica of the dress that I tried on and it is even more fabulous given that it cost me a remarkable amount less and is just as beautiful. So, it''s the same shape, silk satin and lots of bead work. I will be happy to share pictures once it''s finished being altered.

Packrat! So totally adorable!!!!! Sparky, you are a celebrity!!

Slight threadjack!! Sparky, where did you get your wedding website from? We want to purchase our own website that has a fairly big allowance so we can upload our entire wedding ceremony just after the wedding so we can share with our family and friends that didn''t make it.

 

[pocahontas]

Oh Cougs, I''m glad you responded

First of all, big fat stinkin'' ditto to Freke''s post! People are such haters

Second, thanks for the clarification....I was so confused ''cause they did lie and say you bought it from them and even went into details about the downpayment and s%%t. I had remembered your thread with pixs of your stunning recreation, but because I haven''t been on PS in a while I thought something had gone horribly wrong with it or you had had a change of mind. I even made the same comment to DH. Stupid, stupid show, bunch of stinkin'' liars! FWIW, I stand by my original comment that you look freakin'' gorgeous in your dress - I think it accentuates your fabulous curves in the most flattering way possible, and I love that you got the Lazaro look at a fraction of the cost. Seriously, what''s not to love about that scenario

Of course, I responded, my dear married friend.

Aw shucks ... thanks for the virtual "back having"

You guys sure know how to make a girl feel good.

I love how you made a comment to DH - That''s too cute! I''m so glad that you like it ... I''m thrilled with it and am so, so happy that I did not have the money to spend on the Lazaro. If I can be half as beautiful of a bride as you were, I''ll be good.
