:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I'm sure Q will take place for the chocolate fountain too. Just kidding. :p

Seriously, good luck finding someone for it.

DrMike24,

If you are reading this, where did you decide to go??? Miller or USF???

Oh wow...Mc, I am so sorry to hear that! Is there anyway, you could go without one bridesmaid? Just remember, nothing usually goes off "w/o a hitch," so if this is the biggest problem, then you're in great shape. Try to get some sleep. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. If we were in school, I'd come over to your place with these movies (see below) and we could make fun of all of these brides and their wedding problems:

The Wedding Planner
Runaway Bride
American Wedding
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Wedding Crashers
Meet the Parents
My Best Friend's Wedding**
(one of my all time faves--I'm embarrassed to say, I can pretty much recite this movie by heart)

Ok, well keep us updated! And by the way, I might be in Miami on Memorial Day wknd to look at housing options.

Don't worry...this will all be over in a few days. You are going to be a beautiful bride and you are going to have the most elegant wedding ;)

Agree. Don't stress the small stuff, McMD. It's ok if you have one less bridesmaid; some people have weddings with none at all. The important thing is that you are marrying a man you love and who loves you, and your family and (most of) your friends are there to share your special day with you. If you can find the time, you might even call your friend with the sick grandfather to see how he (and she) is doing, and let her know that you're thinking about her. If I don't see you around before then, I hope you have a very happy wedding day. :)
 
Leave it to Q to sound like a Hallmark commercial :). But I agree with her and Runner...the most important thing is the man standing next to you; all the other stuff is just extra. Things will work out, and I hope everything will be okay with your friends' grandfather.
 
I didn't want to include this in the last post because it felt inappropriate to do so, but I wanted to let you all know that I got in off the waitlist at Duke and that's where I'll be headed in the fall. I still think UM is the shiznit and a good part of me is going to miss what I could have had there- you guys, the beach, Dr. Hinkley's 350Z, my soon-to-be-marriage with unfrozencaveman, and, of course, Red Tide. But I think (I hope) this is the right decision for me, not to mention my boyfriend (one of the evil NC intruders) will be going to UNC med and something tells me that might make things a little easier. I could be wrong, though...there are some good-looking blondes in Chapel Hill.

I will not, however, leave the Florida thread since I love this place. It's the only reason I visit SDN anymore. I hope I'll still get to keep in touch with all of you once school begins, and I know you all are going to kick some serious ass at UM. Feel free to make me jealous whenever you head to the beach after a hard block of exams.

P.S. I really hope they didn't get my name wrong or that this is some cruel joke by the admissions committee. If so, well done, good sir. You got me.

Thanks for the offer, but it's my day off and I don't shave on those days, otherwise I'd be happy to help!! All weddings have SNAFU's to overcome, let others worry about the details and you get your rest (if you are having trouble sleeping, reopen your MCAT study book.)

:laugh: :laugh: Now opening an MCAT book is definite way for losing even more sleep. Just look at the people waiting for scores in the MCAT forum. Its actually entertaining though I shouldn't say that. :laugh: :laugh:

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck at Duke. I'm sure you'll rock it at the med school and am glad you got into your top choice. Don't worry there's at least one other person on this thread that is a Floridian going to a non florida school and non UMiami school. So its all good. Mwah!!!! :p :D

Now go out and partayyyyy!!!!!!!

Don't make this harder than it already is! I'll still come down to Miami for some sweet sweet lovin', and you can come up to NC for some, umm, BBQ. And shootin' practice.

Thanks guju! I appreciate that very much :) And thanks for the post in the other thread, Runner, I just noticed it. I'm sorry we're not going to be classmates either, but I know you're going to have a great time at UM. oh, and congrats on getting back into the Jackson campus! That is most excellent.
 
unfrozencaveman said:

She was never good enough for you anyway, caveman. :p

Congrats on the Duke acceptance, Burnsie. I'm glad that things worked out for you and your bf. :)

P.S. Burnsie, if you think I sound too much like a Hallmark card, that's no problem. Just write to me whenever you have some minor catastrophe in your life that feels like the end of the world to you but in the whole scheme of things really isn't, and I'll straight-out tell you to get a grip. If you don't want sugar coating, you don't have to have it. :cool:

What? I was just joking around. I completely agreed with you (and still do) and think you gave great advice. I didn't mean for it to offend you, and I'm sorry if it did... :)
 
Guju, Burnsie, Runner, QofQ, REL, caveman....thanks guys! The dress is a size 6...however, it is tight in the chest on ALL my friends!! REL, maybe it would fit your chest. Whoever fits in the dress is DEFINITELY in on the chocolate fountain, you can even pull up a chair and just sit at the chocolate fountain table!!

I've decided to just go with one less bridesmaid, I don't want to deal with anymore stress. For the exit, one of my bridesmaids will have to walk with 2 groomsmen--we may even have the guys carry her out.

My fiance's family is coming in town tomorrow-I'm really excited because they'll take my mind off the wedding!! Oh Runner, I've made my fiance watch like every wedding movie possible lately....our favorite is definitely Wedding Crashers...we've even welcomed crashers to our wedding as long as they aren't lame and can't get girls. I'll try to keep you guys posted on the happenings of the wedding.

Burns, congrats on the acceptance....we'll miss you! Runner, are you staying at Miami campus?

I'm not offended. Other than you choosing caveman over me, we're cool. :smuggrin:
 
Hey Mr Burns...

Huge congrats on Duke.

I think we interviewed at UF together in early march (I think the 3rd)

Did you end up being accepted there as well?

I bet I could totally fit into that dress. :wow:

Great plan, BTW, just having the two groomsmen escort one bridesmaid. :thumbup: No one will even notice (or care).

Thanks a lot, NotanMD. Yep, that's when I was at UF as well. And nope, I got put on hold then waitlisted (I know why, though...it's a long story). What about you? Where are you headed in the fall?

Hey now, it's not MY fault you didn't take advantage of me while I slept next to you that night. That would have sealed the deal. Frozey, on the other hand...

Just kidding. :p :p

St Louis University for now. Hoping to get off some waitlists though. But hey I'm actually very curious, what's the long story about UF? No reason to worry about it now that you are going to Duke.
 
Hey Mc--are ya there? How are you doing? Less than 2 days till your wedding!!! I'm so excited for you :clap:
 
What happened to this thread? Someone say something interesting! Okay it doesn't HAVE to be interesting...it just has to be something.

McMD, hope everything is going well!
 
Sperm and Egg and Boom!

Unite and similar, yet dissimilar to clockwork a parade of chemical and mechanical genius ensues. The enzymes controlling, polymerases copying, and the story goes on, incomprehensible, miraculous. A small man, so small he can fit into the tiniest of spaces acts as the ultimate conductor. So small and so large. Residing outside of the world, outside of time, but all the while he is here and there too. He is inside.

That's exactly the kind of post I was hoping for! Continue with the story. I am on the edge of my seat, for goodness sakes.
 
Hello,

I just wanted to congrat all those who were accepted to UF this year and would like to know if they need a roommate? Please PM as I am buying a home in Gainesville and would like to live with two colleagues.

UF class of 2010 :D
 
Thanks guys!! I'm going to post pictures on thefacebook within the next couple of days-it was a fairytale!!! I can't count the number of people who told us that our wedding looked like something out of a magazine!!!-it was truly beautiful!! Everything was so perfect-the weather, the bridesmaids, the groomsmen, the location-it all looked so pretty!!! When I got down to the end of the aisle, Nick had tears in his eyes already-we both cried during the entire ceremony-especially when we were saying our vows. He called me all throughout the day when I was getting my hair and make-up done and I had to have my mom and bridesmaids answer the phone since the ladies were doing my hair/make-up and they'd get off the phone with him and tell me they could tell just how nervous he was-he was asking what I was doing each second and just wanted to see me! It was soooo hard not to kiss him when I got to the end of the aisle!! The room we stayed in last night overhung on the intercoastal, there wasn't even land underneath the balcony-just water, it was so pretty!! I will put up pics soon, thanks for everything guys!
 
Guessssss whatttttttt????????????? So not to make Q jealous or anything. :p ;)

But......

I was at a wedding reception and they had a lovely chocolate fountain to dip fruit and pretzels in!!!!! It was great!!!!!!!!

MCMD,


I'm sooooooooo excited to see your wedding pics. I'm sure you really did look like a princess. :D

Congratulation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p ;) :D :)
 
Thanks guys!!! I posted a couple of pictures that were taken from my camera on facebook, I'll post more this afternoon and even more in a couple of days when we get the CD's made from the photographer's pictures. We got the photographer's pics back and they look AMAZING!!! I won't have any pics of the ceremony up for a few days since none were taken with my camera! I'll keep you guys posted!

Runner, if you still have all the info I sent you a few weeks ago, you can see the pics on the facebook, it's all the same! :)
 
So it appears that the new wellness center at UM has been completed. I was trying to take the "virtual tour" online to check it out, but its not loading on my computer at home or work. Is it a problem with the website, or do my computers just suck?

I couldn't get it either.
 
seriously, this thread has died. :thumbdown:
 
So last night I saw a preview for the new movie, Miami Vice . This is a must-see for us canes.

Seriously. I was hoping PNeo would continue his story, but alas, I still don't know what happens next.

What's new with everyone? Unfrozencaveman is carrying my child. But that's pretty much it on my front.
 
Wait, unfrozen told me she was carrying MY child, I want a maternity test!
 
deuist said:
Nah, the rest of us are busy with other things. You should try some of the other threads to get a good laugh.
I venture out once in a while, but find little entertaining. Sometimes I post on other threads, but forget which ones they are, so I can't go back and see what has been posted since. :(

Go to the very top of the screen and click on "User CP." You'll get all the threads that you've posted to recently that have replies. Direct link
 
Hey McMD,

You got some wedding pics up yet on facebook??? i want to see them

Getting me pregnant just to get me up to NC? Low! I want you to think about what you've done while river rafting in a river full of venomous water cobez while sporting J Crew chinoz.
