Nov 08 brides

Welcome!! That sucks about your resort. I feel so bad for you and Tara, not a fun thing to deal with especially when you are having your wedding there. You would think they would have notified you.

I was kind of bummed we couldn't go somewhere else, but we would end up spending way more money and losing too much travelling so it just made more sense to stay. I will definitely take lots of pics at the Grand for ya. I have heard it is a phenomenal place so I'm sure it will be a nice change from the Lindo.

Congrats on the weight loss, that is great!! You look beautiful in your dress, and those shoes match the sparkly areas on your dress perfectly!

Did you weigh your suitcases? All your DIY projects came out great, and I love the little stands you got.

I am absolutely exhausted! We had a garage sale at my aunt's house this weekend. We didn't advertise so all the people that came were just drive bys. Luckily, they live ona corner, but it was slower than we had hoped. Mike and I still made $525 from some of the stuff we sold. He used to be in a band so he sold some of his old instruments (he plays drums and guitar) so he had some bigger ticket items that resulted in the money we made, but I sold some clothes and kitchen stuff since we got new stuff at our shower. We are going to hold another sale in October and advertise this time so hopefully we can rid of the rest of our crap and make some more money. Otherwise, we'll just donate what's left so we won't have to move it to AZ!

I'm hoping to start working on those programs this week and get this stuff done. I go for another fitting on Saturday, and I need to pick up my head piece. I can't wait until I get to the point where I have nothing wedding related to do!

Wow, $525 is pretty darn good for not being advertised!! Ive been wanting to do a garage sale, we could sure use the extra cash. And I too cant wait til I have nothing wedding related to do!! I am so far behind, I cant believe it.

I now have the bath bombs all packaged up, but now I would like to find a cute saying about bathbombs so everyone knows what they are & how to use them. After all, they aren't the typical round ball type bath bombs.

That is awesome that you made that much $ at the garage sale, especially since it wasn't advertised.

$525 that's awesome! We need to get together when you move to AZ!!!

 

I actually did weigh my OOT suitcase. It's a medium sized suitecase stuffed to the gills and it weighs 45 lbs.

 

Still haven't figured out how to get my starfish to PV....

Hey Tara,

Yes I have been told the noise from construction shouldn't be an issue and the wedding ceremony itself is on the other side of the resort. It just sucks that after anticipating staying in a suite with a jacuzzi I may likely be now stuck with a room outdated and from the 1970's.

 

By the way ladies just something to consider for those of you thinking about acrylic nails on your wedding day. My sister got them done and on her honeymoon she was doing one of those banana boat rides in the ocean and because she had to hold on with all her might she ripped them off. If you plan on doing a lot of activities like hiking, parasailing, or canopy tours and etc you might want to reconsider. My nails look like crap and never grow long so I just plan to get a nice simple manicure with light polish for some shine.

I just broke a nail right off today picking up laundry, so I think that I will be doing the tips.

Just to let you all know, I won't be on tomorrow since I am heading to the city with my Mom. My Aunt is in the hospital there and is getting some tests done to see how the chemo treatments are doing. Since Mom and I are nurses, the family would like us to be there to find out what is happening and then relay it in understandable language for them. Keep you fingers crossed for her and good news please.

 

Oh yeah, how could I forget. Not only does my Aunt have leukemia, but her youngest daughter just found out she has a blood clot in her leg from her groin down passed her knee. The Dr said that it is the biggest blood clot that he had ever seen!!! The first hospital she went to told her it wasn't a bloot clot and sent her home after an ultra sound. The second hospital found it. Like WTF!!!

I hear ya. I really wanted that suite. Oh well. I was more mad that we told people to go to this resort only to find out construction was being done on half of it. So I hope that the construction is totally out of sight, and that you can't see any of it from your wedding!


This is what I decided on too. Even when I can semi grown my own nails out I will break one way down and have to cut the rest off! I'll probably go get the tips on a week before the wedding so I have a little time to get used to them.

Ok girls...had my first dress fitting today and the first time seeing my dress in the color I ordered. I love it!! I'm going to try to post photos and maybe some from bachelorette too.
