Cute, Cute, Cute... I didn't get anything with bride on it, but I did DIY a tank for me to wear. But I can't tell what it says yet, I can't jinx it.

Thanks girls! I think I am officially done with the DIY now. At least I hope so.

I found my travel candles at the dollar store - they came in a little box 2 for $1.00. Cute enough, smelly enough I guess. Anyway, to make them a little more personal, I added a version of our logo on top, and then some ribbon around the bottom

Thanks for the inspiration.

Great Pics! I love the "I Do" on the toes, may I steal that idea?? You look so beautiful Tammy, I don't know why you ever stress yourself out about how you look in pictures.

Happy Birthday!

Very sweet of you to post the picture. And I have to say Cain's Ma doesn't look anything like I pictured. I don't know what I pictured (the mother from Everybody Loves Raymond, maybe?) Isn't it strange how that happens.

Really, I've done all of this over the last 2 weeks. I love the pressure. Quote: Originally Posted by Tlseege I love random planning photos! It looks like you have everything very well organized.

It all looks cool in a big pile in my office, but I think it'll be even cooler once we are there. Quote: Originally Posted by CABOBRIDE200 Wow Stephanie!! You are on the ball! Everything looks great! You are so organized and have thought of every detail. Great job! Every detail until the resort changed my dinner reservation times from 7:30 to 6:45. Too bad, I'm not reprinting all the Dine With Us cards. I hope my guests understand. Quote: Originally Posted by redwards Wow! Stephanie. . .you're amazing!! Everything you chose, made and planned looks spectacular! Kudos to you!! I'm extremely impressed!! It's fun to see how much you've accomplished...but also I think this will be a great inspiration for brides who are just beginning all their planning. Thanks for sharing!! ;-) Thank you! I hope that I gave some inspiration to somebody out there. Quote: Originally Posted by RaydensMama Amazing stuff!! I think everyone is going to be so wowed by all your hard work! I can not wait to see how it all turns out for you!!! You and me both. I really can't wait. I already can't sleep at night, to excited. And I still have a 8 more sleeps before we leave.

I think almost everyday I think of a new project, but I have to draw the line somewhere. :-) I can't believe it's almost time. Seriously, look for me around town if you go into Cabo. I know for sure we will be there Friday in the day (the girls) to do some "shopping" and what not. But really beside the wedding, nothing is set in stone.

If you are getting married at the RIU in Cabo, I was told that the speakers are free for you to use with the iPod. Here is part of an email that I received back from Adriana: Dear Ms Stephanie, Yes I know the date is coming very soon. We can provide you with speakesr for the wedding reception, there is not extra charge.

Other stuff in the pics include flip flops for the guys and the girls, a deck of cards, 2 koozies, 2 bottles of water with our custom labels, a beach ball, a bottle opener, 2 travel candles, a small package of tissues and a couple of games for the kids. We'll also be added a couple of beers in each and snacks, which we'll buy in Cabo. I tried to do the iron on transfers, but I didn't like the line around the design, so I made a pocket instead. I still have to make the tags for the bags and the welcome letters. Jess, your bags came out great. I really like the pocket idea. Your guests will be impressed.

It's in layers, so I had to do it as a PDF file. I made my logo in Elements. If I switch it to a jpeg, I know you won't be able to alter it. I'm not sure about this one either though. :-(

I'm gonna agree - totally tacky! Why doesn't she just post a list of Aunt Sue - Buy me a TV Uncle Bill - You'll get us a new washer It's almost the same thing. And it's not like you can't return something if you don't like what people have given you. It's supposed to be the thought that counts.

I added a welcome tag to our bags. I just changed our names to the word Welcome, and then put Cabo San Lucas, Mexico underneath. It's kind of hard to see, but here is a pic. I printed it out, backed it with a little cardstock, punched two holes, and ran some ribbon through it.

Welcome! Great website, and wonderful photography.

Great pictures tammy! And I agree - can I borrow your abs for a week or so? I knew I should have kept excersizing. :-)

I'm using Jose Lima, and his prices might have changed, but I get 5 hours for $1850. I booked him a year ago though. It's still almost 2 weeks until my wedding, so I can't help you with my full day of photos yet. Good luck with your quest.

Congrats Tammy! I'm glad that everything turned out well (even with Maye being late). I can't wait to see the rest of your pictures, it looks beautiful!

Welcome Back Tammy! I can't wait to read your review and see your pictures. And that is totally awesome that you saved 3 dogs.

I did them. They were actually a lot of fun to do. I used a local photographer who I had tossed around taking along to my wedding. I know that a lot of the girls on the board have used Leigh, but I think it all depends if she'll be in your area or not.

Very cute idea.

I was torn between Juan, Manuel Burgoin, and Pepe. Juan was already booked, I didn't like the (what seemed to me) slow response time from Manuel, and I loved Pepe's attitude and excitment so I went with him. I think that he's going to do a great job with our photos. We're doing "romantic" shots on Friday in town and around the marina, and then we'll have him for 4 hours on Saturday for the wedding. From talking with him on email and things, we both have the same kind of attitude and thoughts, so I hope they are as great I think they will be.

Your rings are beautiful. Erik's is very similar to Jason's - but to me for the most part all men's rings look the same. TFS!

Thanks, that's what I thought but I wanted to be sure.
