Picked up my dress tonight...

Congrats! Your such a pretty girl. I know you will be a beautiful bride. I pray for the day when I find my handsome prince. I wish you and James all the happiness in the world!! Caren

Thank you Caren! Youjust say a prayer and the Lord will take of it in time. Hugs, Tonya

Tonya, Congratulations! You don't know me because I am usually a lurker but for over a year now I have kept a daily watch on this site and have always idolized you. You exuded a beautiful radiance when you typed and when I read your words, I felt in my heart that you were a sincere caring person. I have simply adored you and have followed your progress, along with others, faithfully. And now... look what has happened. GOD realized that he wanted you to share some of your inner and outer beauty and James was who GOD chose. From my heart, I wish you and James much much success..sprinkled with an abundance of love .. marinated with a heaping of joy and tossed with handfuls of happiness. Again, congratulations. Ohhhhh.. by the way, I got APPROVED today!!! So I will be a loser soon!!

Phyllis, Your reply brought tears to my eyes! I think those may have been the nicest words anyone has ever said to me! I wish you all the happiness in the world! Congrats and I look forward to shring in your journey! Hugs, Tonya

Tonya, I'm so touched by your post. You have such a beautiful spirit and all the outside trimmings to go with it. You're going to be a radiant bride. I'm so sorry I can't come Saturday as I have a family wedding shower to attend midday. I continue to think of you guys and pray that God will continue to bless you.

Joyce, Thank you so much! I really enjoyed meeting you in Atlanta. I hope to see you at a get-together again some time soon! I think you're a pretty special lady! HUgs, Tonya

Congratulations Tonya... I wish you and James every happiness....

Thanks Marc...you gonna come party down with us at the reception?

I am sure gonna try!... looks like I will be able to make it .... cool beans!

I can not wait to see how beautiful you look in your dress. If it is anything like your smile you will blow us all away. I do not have enough good wishes to send to you an James. I only hope your love will continue to grow as you journey together. One of the other benefits of having this surgery and this website is meeting the two of you. Enjoy every minute of this celebration. Now if we can just find another single man who likes recently un-fat, stubborn 40ish year old women, maybe I can get a wedding dress too! denise
