ROFL, Juan your great.. I know how extremly busy you are so I understand.. Maybe some teaser pics to tie us over.. lol Seriously though I know you put alot of time in your pictures so give yourself time to work your magic..:-)

yeah,, I think I'm past hitting my head with a bat.. lol It gets harder and harder every day.. :-)

Well lets see, got married on June 5th, today it day 35. he said he had 6 days off from a wedding and was hoping to get them done this week but their were still 4 wedding in front of me so you do the math.

lol he'll end up with 10 starfish.. lol

Natalie he said the same thing to me.. :-) He deserves one.. Hmm Maybe I'll send him one in hopes to bribe him to get my pictures done quicker.. lol

Hmm sounds to me like he just doesn't want to talk about marriage. Maybe before you start talking to him say that you want to sit down for "x" amount of time to talk to him with no interruptions. Catherine, he really needs to learn to open up and talk to you more, it could cause for some problems later, my ex husband was that way, and eventually you both could end up bottling up your thoughts and feelings and that's never good. I'm only saying this because I worry about my girls on here..

Could it be the cost of the wedding in general that he's afraid of paying off? Bills are really hard to overcome, it takes most people more years then they can remember trying to pay them off. So I respect the fact that he doesn't want to get further into debt. Ok so we are all women, yes we all want a beautiful ring on our fingers but I think at the end of the day we just want the man, men don't understand that, they have been told all these years that girls are all about the bling.. So he is probably feeling overwhelmed with the whole ring/wedding. I'd approach him at a different angle, maybe ask him "how do you see us in 5 years", "if we were to get married, what would you invision it to be like". I'm sure you know how to pry information out of him without being over powering, but don't backdown because you don't like when he doesn't answer. If marriage is important to you, it also needs to be important to him. Did you mention to him about maybe just buying a couple wedding bands and go elope somewhere and then 5-10 years down the road do a more "Traditional vow renewal"?

Ok so we all have read how the starfish didn't quiet make it to the next person in line. SOOO I was thinking why not have a back up plan.. IE, maybe give Maye C. one OR Juan. Both of these people are involved in MANY weddings from the forum, and if worse comes to worse the bride to be can borrow a starfish for the day from one of them.??

Awe what a great starfish story. Welcome back and I'll be sitting waiting for your review and pics. :-)

Well if he doesn't give it to his current ex-girlfriend then if his future girlfriend finds out that ring was purchased with another person in mind,, I can't see that going over too well. Hey look at it this way, he doesn't give the mother of his child the ring, and he wants to sell it.. Hmm I can think of someone.. :-)))

I agree with Kash, go in knowing what your limit is (yes you will probably go over if) so either set a firm limit of a buffer in case you see something you like just a little out of your price range. Also go in with a VERY open mind, I also was looking for a dress with no train, well that pretty much narrowed it down to like 5 dresses at each store or bridemaids dresses. So I decided to "release my power control" and I walked into a store, told them where I was getting married and what my limit was. They started pulling many different style types for me to try on. Some were ones I WOULD HAVE NEVER pulled off the rack but was still very pretty once they were on. In the end I ended up with a dress with a long train but it was beautiful and so perfect for me.

Yet another great slideshow.. Great job again Juan, course your really making it hard for me, I'm as Sarah would put it "about to have a seizure with anticapation" for our pics.. :-)

Yeah that is pretty weird... Has he always been that way?

Welcome, since Cabo is the only place in Mexico I've been too I'm not much help.. But hey if you change your mind on that, I'll be glad to offer some help.. :-)

Kash we had SOOO much left over cake that we ended up throwing most of it out. Everyone "maybe" ate a quarter of their cake or shared one and kept one. They really were too big..

There is also a coupon for My Publisher "Travel241" Buy one get the same book second copy free.. I think HOME241 is also still active, same special. just put quanity 2 and the price will adjust.

Hmm well I love cake, and I made everyone eat some because the individual cakes were alot of money. BUT with that said I would have been just as happy with cupcakes because one individual cake could have fed three people and cupcakes are easier to transport back to your room

If you had a legal wedding in Mexico then call your secretary of state office tell them you just got married out of the country and wanted to know what was required to do your name change. You shouldn't have to go to city hall..

Ok so if your asking how you go about changing your name. I'd say the first step is call you local SofS office to find out what you need. For example I needed the wedding certifiacte to be apposiled & translated by an offical office.

You got legally married? Are you changing your name?

Kate that is soooo true. When Cain and I first started dating he told me he never wanted to get married because he didn't know of anyone that wasn't divorced. SO from the very start I pretty much thought we were going to be dating for the rest of our lives, the first time he mentioned to me "marriage" i was shocked.. My point is, all I cared about was that I was going to spend the rest of my life with the man I loved regardless if he was my boyfriend, or husband.

I love my E-ring and wedding band set. But with that said, I would have married Cain with a gum ball machine ring if that's all we could afford. Just buy a plain wedding band and get married. You can always get the bling when you can afford it more.

Well from the way it sounds, it seems like it depends on how strict the church is that you go to, to have the blessing. So maybe we'll just have to shop around, as crazy as that sounds.. :-)

Cains Aunt got married a month before us, she was married by her then husband's ordained judge, and for her second marriage they said it was fine because she was never married as a catholic. Could it depend on how strict the church is that you go to?
