I vote that you give these out pre-ceremony so they can be used for what they are made to do - cool people off! I think your guests will appreciate that. They are very pretty, and people will probably end up setting them on the table anyway. Your photog can get a nice pic with them on a table setting to satisfy that part of it for you, yes?

that is awesome!

AHHHHHH!!!! SARAH! Not to be selfish or anything, but I am so glad you logged in to let us know you had THE PERFECT day. I knew you would. I'm so happy for you! We will patiently await photos........patiently, yes, very patiently.

OMG Tammy, I am so pissed off after reading that! What a bunch of f*ckers! That is so typical though.. our tax dollars at work! Ain't it beautiful? So sorry you had the experience. AND it was their f-ing fault to begin with. Damn I'm pissed!

It's your week Edyta! Happy Birthday to you!!

C'mon Courtney - dance w/your daddy! I'm sure it will be a very special memory for the both of you. I mean, how badly can you mess up a slow dance? Just follow his lead! I really think you should do it.

I didn't feed anybody! All of my vendors were on site for a few hours, none of which happened during dinner. I did offer drinks for our photog though.

Happy wedding tomorrow Sarah! I just know it is going to be totally amazing & perfect in every way. And extra special, Tammy & Edyta will get to see it all! Enjoy your day to the absolute fullest! Congrats girlie!

Good call Courtney! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY RACHEL!

Hi Edyta! Hi Tammy & Steve! Hi Sarah!! Edyta - you are truly stunning! I love your flowers! BEAUTIFUL

You could say: "Laura and Robin, along with Mr. Laura's Dad, ......" Definitely look at the knot or even invitation websites - there are tons of options

Holy crap!!! How exciting!! Edyta - you look fantastic! Congrats girlie!!

Jenesis - we just booked when we got down to Cabo...I think we got a discounted rate thru our hotel. They run a cruise every day I believe, so as long as you book a few days in advance, you should be fine.

I like her work too. She was on my list of possible photogs, but when hubby & I sat down to choose, he really liked Bradley's work, so we agreed on him.

I'm not having an AHR, but if I were I would wear the hell outta my dress! I wish I could wear it again....can't seem to come up with any good reason until our anniversary comes around.

We went on the Tropicat Sunset Jazz cruise - and it was awesome. We totally loved it! they serve wine & all kinds of yummy cheese, fruit, and other snacks. I think it was about $40 per person. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! TROPICAT CABO SAN LUCAS SAILING JAZZ CRUISE CATAMARAN

CONGRATS EDYTA!!!

Very pretty!

I love Kashi Go Lean cereal. I'll have it with soy milk. A good filling option too is toasted whole grain bread or english muffin w/peanut butter. Honestly, I always run out of time in the morning, so unless I bring something w/me to work, I end up eating a handful of raw almonds & a cup of peppermint tea.

I used Maye for day of coordination and most of the vendors I hired independant of her. The only vendor I booked through her was the trio mariachi, which we were very happy with. For flowers, we got ours from a florist in San Jose - Floreria Pamela. I used Suzanne Morel's spa for hair/makeup and Ixchel for trasport. I was extremely pleased with all of my vendors. That said, if you don't want to deal with managing your vendors, then use Maye's so she will handle them, but be prepared to pay a 10% service charge on all of the vendors she books for you.

Oh wow! Thanks ladies. I am in excellent company with Melissa & Glenda Congrats girls!

That's a bummer that you have to drive all the way to Chicago for yours Tammy. :-( but I'm sure it will be a relief to have it finished...in your hands once and for all!! Personally, I was jaded by the passport agency long ago! When I applied for my very first passport (I was 16). We submitted everything at the end of October for a trip I was taking in February, then we waited, and waited...and waited...and waited. We called to check on things are were told it's common for several weeks to go by without any news or status about the application. Finally, it's the end of January and still no passport and no news. As we're calling and trying to figure things out, we get a letter later that week saying (in VERY vague, diplomatic, "we don't want to take blame for this" terms) that the application I submitted was "lost/stolen and I will need to re-submit everything, sorry for the trouble, thank you very much!" WTF?!?! This was two weeks before I was supposed to leave the country! Why didn't they think to notify us before then? MONTHS have gone by!! Anyway, it was a mad scramble to try and get everything taken care of in time. My poor mother had to spend hours on the phone and in lines at the passport office trying to sort things out. We even had to get my grandmother to go to the office in Cali to get a new copy of my birth certificate (I was born in the Bay Area) - since they had lost the one we had sent with the application! (WHY do they make you send originals of all your super important legal documents?!?!) It was a nightmare. It also cost an extra $300 to have everything expedited etc. I finally got it about 3 days before I was supposed to leave. Even after all that, my mom spent the next 5 months submittimg receipts and claims to the agency to get reimbursed for all her additional expenses. Whew! Ok, so that was a LOT! But that's also the reason that I made David submit our renewals in March for Monica's Sept wedding! And why I insisted that we use priority mail w/ a tracking number for both the outgoing and return envelopes!! I want to know where those suckers are at ALL times!! So the lesson here for all you girls who don't have passports or know someone who doesn't have a passport. . .APPLY NOW! Lol!!! So what if you get it a year ahead of time...at least you'll have it and you can avoid all this stress! Rachel - I had the EXACT same fricking thing happen to me! I was LIVID!!

Good for you Tara! That is so awesome. Maybe I should try WW....hmmmm.
