KansasEMT Posted March 27, 2014 #4926 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Kansas EMT, I agree with Lisa and geocruiser. You have to be you otherwise this would be a very dull world. By the way where are you from in Kansas? I was born and raised there. Born in Topeka and raised in Junction City. Haven't been back since the early 80's. Hoping to get to go back this Oct for our 45th high school reunion. ( Wow did that just date me):eek: Can't wait until Marie gets back so we can see her pictures of her in her gorgeous gowns. Sure do miss her and hope she is doing good. Have a great day everyone, Gerry Hi, Gerry. Wow, you guys have all been so welcoming! I'm in southwest kansas, between liberal and dodge city. Where are you living now? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNGALOHA Posted March 27, 2014 #4927 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hi, Gerry. Wow, you guys have all been so welcoming! I'm in southwest kansas, between liberal and dodge city. Where are you living now? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app We live in Yuma now, but have lived all over the world. My husband was in the Air Force for 20 years and now he works for the Army so we are still moving when the military says it is time. I know where you are at, we went to Dodge City a lot when we were kids and used to love it. Such a small world we live in. Have a great time on your cruise and Happy Anniversary a little early.

booboojoy Posted March 27, 2014 #4928 Share Posted March 27, 2014 THANK YOU!! I did learn that NCL is not very dressy, but it is an option and ya know what? I might be overdressed, but it's our silver anniversary, and I need a new profile pic and evidence that I do own a dress and can wear my hair in anything other than a ponytail. I'll never ever be as classy as Marie or fashion-forward as Lisa (and that's ok by me), but I think I'm really going to enjoy putting on pretty clothes for a change. :D you go girl!!! and make everyone else feel underdressed...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyitsmejudy Posted March 30, 2014 #4929 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This is Tadashi gown. I wore it tonight. Stunningly beautiful, as always, my dear friend, but that shade of green looks simply gorgeous on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indygolfer1 Posted March 31, 2014 #4932 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I had to take another look at the picture of Marie, I didn't even notice it the first time! But your right it almost looks like a head piece. Of course as lovely as Marie is she could pull that off!

Mytime2014 Posted April 1, 2014 #4939 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hey ladies! I'm a new poster on this thread but I've been lurking for a few weeks... I am SO jealous of all your fabulous dresses! I'm going on my first cruise in May (Carnival) and am already searching for dresses. Last summer I lost 40 pounds and one full dress size so nothing I have fits... all the more reason to go shopping, right? :) i love the dresses - definitely see a different belt with the gray - but hey - free is a good thing!! I can't wait to start looking for more formal dress - at least 1 of them. I'm really pushing the weight watchers for the next few weeks before I start serious shopping. I flew through TJ maxx tonight - my friend works for Marshalls/TJ Maxx - she's got a 40% off weekend coming up, so hoping I can get a few things in my head to buy.

Mytime2014 Posted April 1, 2014 #4941 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Marie, you look stunning in that dress. I've read though 75 percent of this thread and it took me I think a week. lol. I'm going to try to post a couple of pics of my dresses that Im planning on taking so here goes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390720906698?var=660189010725&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 ok that worked lol.. I got it in Gray, I'm Stepmom to a bride in June and this is what I'm wearing. if my friend isn't wearing long I might hem it to the knee. and the other is, you might have to scroll down jut a bit. its the silver with embroidery on it. I bought both on ebay haven't received either so hope they are of half way decent quality. What do you think http://www.ebay.com/itm/181264163840?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 I hope as I continue thru the threads that I can find your review of the dress. The only one they have left is the brown one but what a lovely dress. I love the gray.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Hi Gerry, It was raining hard this morning and we were at Alcatraz. When we got back there was a long line and no one can get on the ship. Apparently one line snapped the wind was sufficient to break the other line. The ship moved away from the dock. The port gangway moved away from the building support and fell down. No one was hurt. But a lot of whining -:(. The couple who sat next to our table at the MDR was behind us in line call the reporter. I asked him who he called? He said he has a friend who work for the news paper. I told him **** happened and he was a jerk. Thank you, ladies, for the anniversary wishes. Xoxo M Edited April 1, 2014 by Porthopper101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLassie Posted April 1, 2014 #4944 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) So glad to hear your OK, Marie and thank you for your email. LOVED your pictures of your renewal. I'm hoping we can do that on our cruise in Nov. as we will celebrate 35 yrs.! Time flies when your having fun!! :D Did you get any pictures of you in the beautiful "black" gown that you showed us before you left on the cruise? LOVED that one too! I have another picture I'm going to post just for you in the "Green" gown. Watch for it. :) Also, HAPPY, HAPPY 1st. ANNIVERSARY & wishing you many, many more.

seasparkle Posted April 1, 2014 #4947 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Love it! I'm going on my first cruise on Allure in May and I was getting nervous seeing so many long formal gowns.. and thinking I need to go shopping for formal wear.. Your dress is formal enough without being so "mother of the bride" wedding formal.. The color is beautiful too.. Thanks for posting, now I know what to wear on formal night!!

LADYBROOKS Posted April 1, 2014 #4948 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well Amy, consider me another victim. I love your dresses and went to Coldwater Creek to check out their dresses. This is what I just ordered... Lisa Very nice, I love the glitz and glam!! Looks like you will be able to wear it again not just for formal occasions.
