Thanks I hope your right...

I would but it would cost us more money and who's to say I wouldn't have the same problems with another coordinator. I'm (crossing fingers) hoping that they get better as time goes by.. I've hired them about 3 or so months ago and out of that time I got ONE day that I was actually happy with them. BTW I hired WIP...

See they were suppose to book these things for me as part of the price, HOWEVER what I found out later is that if they quote me say 200.00 for flowers if I call the florist directly the flowers are actually 150.00 (or something like that) so they mark everything up without you knowing. Maybe that's what they all do.. But it's just not worth the hassle..

Congrats on your upcoming wedding and welcome to the board. I would "hope" they would be finished with the construction before your wedding (your getting married 5 days after me BTW) I heard Sunset Mona Lisa is awesome, great food and GREAT views. I wanted our wedding dinner their but my FI didn't want like the name,, lol men..

Wow, wish I knew about them before I hired WIP.. :-(

Ok yesterday I had this to eat: Breakfast: coffee & cinnamon streusel roll (man was it good but evil) Lunch: Turkey & cheese sandwich with some chips and a coke Dinner: Chicken creaser salad with two rolls Workout: Did a full body workout and I'm pretty sore today as a result of it..

Jennifer, your wedding eternity band looks just like the one I want to go with my ring. I'm like you once I seen the eternity band I fell in love with it. Plus both my FI and I do alot of out door sports so I wear my band and no my E-ring during those times. So I wanted something that would look good regardless what I'm doing.

Jennifer, I have to say everytime I see your sig picture I get super excited for our wedding. I sent it to my FI and he loves it. He's loves to surf so the big waves in the background is perfect for him.. Jackie, welcome to the forum. I joined this board a couple of months before I was engaged as well, my best advice is read up,, there is a ton of information on vendors, pricing, hotels you name it to make your wedding be exactly what you dreamed it would be. Best of luck to you..

OK, this is the quote I received from Sweet dreams.. Yes, I can do the cupcakes in pretty much any flavor you'd like Chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting sounds great. My tiered cake stand has up to 6 tiers, but I could cut it down to only the top 3 (I'd just have to have a base made for those tiers to sit on, as only the largest/16" tier in the set has legs). I'd suggest that it would take at least a couple dozen cupcakes to fill up 3 tiers sufficiently, and imagine that if you put 2-4 on the top tier, about 8 on the middle tier, and at least 12 on the bottom tier, along with flowers, petals, chocolate shells and maybe some cascading ribbon, it would look lovely. I have attached a couple photos of the tiered stand with other designs (they held 60 - 80+ cupcakes), but try to imagine it with your ideas, and only the top 3 tiers... and that will give you a good better idea of what we can do. In terms of price, I charge $4 US per cupcake (i.e. 24 x $4 = $96), $30 US for the stand rental, plus a delivery/stand pick up fee (depending on where you're having your reception - where will it be?). I also charge a $100 US deposit on the stand, but this will be refunded upon the prompt return receipt of the stand in complete and original condition following the wedding.

Our colors are light ivory and Olive green with a touch of Plum as a tiny accent color. Were doing green orchids for my flowers and ontop of our wedding cake. and Cain's Mexican wedding shirt will have an olive green stitching. Light ivory is the cake color and my dress, Cain's Ma will also have a white orchid in her hair for the ceremony.

I posted this information on another thread but thought I would add it here as well. I contacted "Sweet dreams" about doing a cupcake, cake and here's what they said. I'll post again with pricing information when I get it. "Hi Tammy, Yes, I can do cupcakes I have done quite a few 'cupcake wedding cakes', but to be honest, never that few... I think the challenge would be finding a tiered stand that is the appropriate size for only 12 cupcakes without 'drowing' them out. I have a tiered cake stand (that I can rent to clients), but the tiers are much larger in diameter and height than shown in your photo. Do you think you could source a stand where you live or on the net and bring it with you? If so, let me know, and I'd be happy to work on the cupcake design with you. Also, would you want the cupcakes decorated with flowers and petals as in the photo? Or do you want to stick with the seashell idea, or maybe both? Another thing to think about with cupcakes are the cupcake papers. I have silver foil, or paper (white, pastel colors or red), however if you would like anything different or specific it might be best if you bring them with you to Cabo, as it is next to impossible to source that kind of thing down here"

This is a little add to Sweet dreams for all the cupcakes idea fans out there. I asked her about it for our wedding ( we would have 12 people) this is what she said.. "Yes, I can do cupcakes I have done quite a few 'cupcake wedding cakes', but to be honest, never that few...

Wow some of this is new to me.. However I'm getting legally married in Mexico as well and our wedding coordinator has already booked our bloodwork to be done on the Monday before our wedding. Also I already knew about the translation of documents and that's part of the wedding coordinator fee. However I will have to pay an additional 60.00 to have the marrige license translated into English and authentacated. Is it possible that Maye is taking care of some of this stuff without you knowing about it?

OK Wedding is off, I'm leaving for a plastic surgon for the next year.. The first photo that came up was....................................... BILL GATES

Ok well yesterday was a bust for me, Didn't end up having time to work out. Today our boys (by boys I mean our two dogs) go to daycare so Cain and I will be working out together doing weight training. Our focus today will be upper body.

I ditto that Megan.. Are you sure you can't fit me in your suitcase?? lol

Cool, not really looking to loose weight,,, maybe 5 pounds. My main goal it tone up. Yesterday I started working out, by running. On Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I'll do weight training the other days cardio.. I'll either be dead before the wedding or in awesome shape.. I'm hoping the second one.. lol

I just went on Expedia website and for air for two RT it was 1050.00 and a midsize car was 136.00 for a week. Not bad. I wonder since Tammy does travel if she's able to get different rates for air and car rental

Hello ladies, I've heard mixed reviews about Jesus. I heard he's really good but sometimes doesn't show up the day of. My question is this, if anyone on here had him "not" show up was it when he was still working for the salon? And for the girls that he did show up, how was it, and did he also do your makeup? Thanks in advance.

Sarah, I looked on Payless's website and for their lowest level car it quoted me $200.00 a day. How the heck did you get $97.00 for a week?

Actually it is quiet possible that your gaining muscle, if that's the case your clothes should feel a little loose even if you don't weight anything different.

The reason why most people fail on diets is because they are forced to not eat the things they love, instead still eat those things as a treat for doing well. I LOVE choc. so if I work out and stick to my plan I will treat myself to something small so that I won't Crave it and go crazy one day and eat a whole cake because I missed it too much.. lol..

When I was in the best shape of my life I did Cardio Kick boxing. Awesome workout.. My main goal now is not to loose weight but gain my mucsle back. So I'm running and weight training again. I actually started up yesterday.. I want to be in the ideal shape by the time I start my dress fittings in Feb/March.
