Sarah

Welcome to the forum! That's so great of you to help your friend. Let us know what you need and we'll help you out too!

Brandy! I'm a Cabo bride too, so just let us know what you need help with- I'm sure someone will have the answer!

Ok, Ok, you win- you sleep naked! I just get too cold to...lol It does help that he says VS stuff, because the other options I gave him kinda ruled out the sporty stuff, the really naughty stuff, hehe. I know he just loves a really lacy pair of underwear and bra, or some little nightgown thingy. He'd also go for the boyshorts and cami thing too. I looked around on VS website yesterday, but I'm going to have to break down and go to the store to try stuff on- gotta make sure I can cover up the parts I'm worried about!

Welcome Trish! Happy planning!

Aww, poor Paul! Ann, go buy something to wear for Valentines Day- it will probably shock the socks right off of him! I used to wear that stuff all the time, but then gained a little weight and felt too self conscious. So, it's been a while and I think Jeff appreciated the effort! hehe

lol Ann! I actually PUT some lingerie on the other night, just so I could ask what he liked after he got over the shock of seeing me in some- it's been a while, poor guy! I asked what did he find the sexiest? Something lacy, something sporty-sexy, or something "fantasy-ish". He said- "You know, I just like that Victoria's Secret stuff the best." So, that does it- off to Victoria's Secret for me!

Christa! Those turned out great:) We just started researching these last night, I really like that design though...very nice, and the color goes great with the rest of your theme!

What a fun find! Thanks for sharing.

I'm not much help since I'm a Cabo bride, but what helped me when I was making my decision last fall was writing out pros and cons to the resorts. I listed the most important things to me (location, atmosphere, price, amenities) and compared the couple resorts I was debating. Also, the other part that really weighed into the equation for me was how much information I could get about a resort (whether via the forum, or other avenues) and how responsive the hotel staff were in responding to me. Even when I had not selected Dreams as my location, the WC was still prompt in responding to my emails (always got back to me within a week) and this was very important to me. Hope that helps a little...

Yay! Congratulations! Your pics are just gorgeous and it sounds like things turned out well for you. You were a beautiful bride:) Thanks for the thorough review!

Kate, I LOVE the Muzzafoos wedding tees! That's so cute, and I bet people would wear them again:)

Lenita those are awesome! What a fun idea:)

Great find Ann! They even have bags that can be embroidered. I may go this route for my OOT bags...

Sarah, thats a good idea about doing the weights when you're watching tv. I don't usually just watch tv, I'm usually doing something else at the same time, magazine, folding laundry etc.., but now I'm going to try this. This was also the first week I really, really stuck to WW. I didn't drink at all, even when we watched the Pats on sunday and had all kinds of yummy food, I ate the veggies and had a TON of water. But it was worth it when I got on the scale yesterday and lost....7.6 pounds! Probably a lot of water weight because it was my first real week, but nevertheless I lost something, so that helps keep me motivated. The exercise really does help! Wow! 7.6 pounds? I think I lose more weight when I DON'T work out- I'm seriously throwing my scale away... Great Job Jill!

Still doing my Cindy Crawford workout every day (sometimes twice) and lifting weights AND using the elliptical- mixing it up during my days off, wimping out a little more on the days when I have to work. But, every day I do SOMETHING. I even sit with my 6lb hand weights and do bicep curls and arm extensions while I'm watching movies. I'm eating moderately well (staying within my WW points, or less than 10 over per week) and I have GAINED 3 pounds in the last two weeks. I must be putting on some hard core muscle, either that or I am destinted to be fluffy! Oh well, I will press on- eventually the weight has to come off, right? lol

Hey Sherri- is this it? If it is, it's beautiful!!!

Let me tell you what happened with my invitees. I asked my dad who I should invite from his family, way back last fall when I sent out STD's. He doesn't really talk to his 4 brothers and 1 sister very often, just holiday gatherings, but they're still a pretty close family if that makes any sense at all. Anyway, he told me not to invite any of them because none of them would be able to afford it and it would just make them feel bad (hmm...sounds familiar huh Glenda?). So, now fast forward to our Christmas party where all of my aunts and uncles are now asking me all kinds of details about the wedding, where it is, and why they didn't get invited! I have to close my room block on Friday and some people probably would have booked a room if my parents hadn't decided to make up people's minds for them...Now they're having trouble finding childcare and don't know if they will be able to come... So, long story short: Invite who you think you would want there, not who your parents or anyone else thinks will come. You will be surprised (or at least I have been) at how many people initially say they will come and don't follow through, and how some that you never would imagine would make the effort are coming. Go figure...

Wow! Those are awesome for a dollar- great find!

Yay! Hopefully another participant. Just got finished eating salad and doing my Cindy Crawford workout...nothing like the thought of getting almost naked in less than a month to get you motivated!

Also, there is another wedding at 4PM on my day, and I'm not sure of their reception location. Don't worry Stephanie. My understanding is that is rains in Cabo literally like 10 days a year, and these are always in the fall. I'm told it would be pretty unheard of to have rain in the spring/summer when our weddings are...

Maybe I could model riding clothes or something like that. Hey- that's what I need to find, some sort of sexy riding (horseback riding for those of you with dirty minds) outfit. Or, maybe a naughty nurse outfit- lol. Ok, I'm going to stop because I'm getting carried away with naughtiness. My goal is CLASSY pictures, not skanky! hehe

I'm surprised- I sure thought we had some other people discussing this when we were first trying to decide what to do...oh well, I guess that's just less people that get to see my fat a$$ in lingerie! lol

lol Edyta when I saw this post I thought you'd made some sort of decor decision and had some great wisdom to share with me! It's a great website, I should spend some time and try to decide for sure what WE are going to do! I'm hoping that after my site visit next month I'll have a better idea of what is available down there...

I was wondering the same thing Ann, I think I'll hit Victoria's Secret and do some other shopping around. I'm not sure! Got any ideas?

Welcome Cari! Just keep reading about different places at your chosen location. Take notes and just wait for one of them to feel "right" for you. Take your time, making your location decision is just about the most important decision you will make. Let us know if you have any questions!
