Sarah

I used Tammy for my DW last year and absolutely can not say enough about how wonderful her services are. Tammy made the entire coordination of my guests' travel so convenient for me and easy for them. She's so easy to talk to and has great ideas so I can give her a 100% A+ gold star recommendation! I will continue to use Tammy for my traveling needs in the future as well

Those look awesome!

Congratulations Kelly! Everything looks beautiful. How did your guests like all your details?

Those turned out great!

Hmmm... I'm not sure what's more unsettling- the bridesmaid in army boots or the TTD. Is this person kidding? Court- there's an awesome video out there with John Michael Cooper showing how he did the burning dress shot- he photographed the bride, then photographed a blow-up doll in a wedding dress that he set on fire and photoshopped it together. The end result is sooo cool! Check out his website- the photo in question is the first pic that shows up on the intro in his homepage. altf.com the photography of john michael cooper

Thanks for the list Sol, and congratulations! You were beautiful It's great to hear recommendations from a "local" and I'm sure RM brides will be appreciative.

I was a Dreams Cabo bride- like Tammy said, just decide whether you'd prefer Cabo or Cancun! Both places are beautiful Welcome to the forum!

Those look great Jessica! You have so many cool ideas

Those look awesome Lori! I love the heart cut out...very cool and unique! They are gorgeous!

Wow Jenn- everything looked amazing! You were gorgeous- so classic & beautiful I loved your reception decor- the red & blue chinese lanterns were so cool, and your flowers were beautiful! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to your review!

Here's an idea:

Wonderful review Evonne! Congratulations! Your dress and flowers were so beautiful. I absolutely am in love with Elizabeth's work- it's so wonderful to see another BDW bride use her!

WOW! I love all of your stuff Lauren... your theme is carried through so well! Have a wonderful time.

I know that Sarah (Sassygirl) purchased and brought black linens with her to the Cabo Hilton. I'd have to search for the thread, but you might be able to find it by searching on here. Either that or PM her- she still checks in every once in a while I think. I don't think they were terribly expensive- and like Natasha said, then you dont have to worry about what happens to them

Great job Shelley & Ann! Wow Amy- I LOVE that look- so beautiful! I seriously can't wait to see how your wedding turns out. You have so many great ideas

I don't think that would be too much at all! Especially if you alternate. Heck- I had parasols every other chair, program fans (paper, not raffia) on every chair, toss petals on every chair, and kleenex holders on every chair- Mariana had a whole box of crap for my 12 chairs! lol

Oh, I'm sorry Kate! That really sucks Good luck in the job search. I'll be crossing my fingers that this will all work out for the best and you'll have something even better soon ... Hang in there.

Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride Ok I am going to put my two cents in (more like a quarter). LOL. I am not trying to offend anyone I am just trying to have an honest and real discussion about something that I consider to be an important topic. I like Obama. He is well educated and very likeable. Like many said he gives speeches that move people. If you want to vote for Obama because you agree with his stance on issues then I think that is awesome. But I have to be honest, it scares me a little bit to think that so many people want to vote for him merely b/c he promotes "change". 1. He did not grow up in the ghetto somewhere. He was raised by his maternal grandparents (who happen to be white) and he spent most of his life in Hawaii in a nice area. He went to Columbia University and then attended Harvard University. So the rags to riches story he is always trying to promote bothers me. 2. He denounces lobbyists but the head of his campaign is a huge pharmaceutical company lobbyist. Umm hypocricy? 3. His wife sits on a board for a food company that supplies Wal-mart and other non-unioned companies. How can he and his wife (who has given many speeches on his behalf) criticize Hilary for taking corporate jobs after law school when they cater to corporate America? 4. His wife is also the VP of the University of Chicago Medical Center, which has a policy of urging poor people to seek private healthcare so they won't drain the public resources and will make more money for the private doctors. 5. He loves touting change. Great, I want change too. But how is he going to do that? He hasn't been able to explain how he plans to implement this change. 6. He always talks about how he was against the Iraq war from the beginning. Well sure that's easy for him to say b/c he wasn't there for that vote. I'm not saying the war is right or wrong, all I'm saying is that people made the best decision they could with the information they were given AT THE TIME. And its really hard to look your constituents in the face and say "Oh your husband died in 9/11? Sorry but we're going to do nothing about it right now." Hilary may have supported the war but honestly she is the Senator from NY. What was she supposed to do? Every individual in NY wanted to go to war with their own hands after 9/11 happened. People felt differently at the time. Hindsight is 20/20. 7. Its known in politics that the under 30 vote is easy to persuade by glorifying "idealistic" ideas that sound great but will never be implemented. Most young people can't even point Iraq out on the map. They are known for voting with their heart and not based on informed decisions, if they even bother to vote at all. Do you really believe that if he's president all those old fat, white men in Congress & the Senate are going to let him do what he wants? They will veto every bill he proposes if they don't agree with him. 8. Its easy to say your going to change things when you don't have that much experience as to how things work. Politics is so complicated. Its not as easy as saying "yay/nay" when the vote comes around. It involves complex issues that aren't as simple as saying "Okay I'll just pull all the troops out in Iraq." Most people don't want war, but most people don't understand politics well enough to know that if they just withdraw troops immediately, the more powerful countries such as Iran & Syria will pounce on Iraq and cause severe instability in the middle east. Okay I too am going to step off my box now. I am not trying to push any candidate on anyone, I just want those of you voting for Obama to do so b/c you are making an informed, educated decision and not b/c it feels like he is speaking directly to you. Glenda, you get a standing ovation for that one

I just had a flower girl and the best man & MOH carried our rings.

If you get a good deal on sunscreen, get it. Most of my guests did bring their own- but didn't bring enough and were really happy they got some from me. After the sunscreen, I would say the chapstick, first aid kit and snacks were the most appreciated gifts. Oh, and the OOT bag itself- I still see people use mine

That's got to be the best part (or maybe the hardest?) about being a photographer because you have so many contact and talented friends. I hope maybe you'll share one or two with us when you get done. Maybe at least Ann & I since God knows you've seen enough of us? lol Anyway, congrats again on the success. Keep it up! And now you're motivating me to go to bed (been up for almost 24hrs now) and get back on WW. We'll see

What an awesome goal Leigh! Are you doing them for yourself, or are you going to use it as an anniversary gift or something? I can personally vouch that they're so much fun! Oh wait...you were there! lol

Thanks so much girls (and guys!). I've had so much encouragement from various people to do this over the last year. Let the fun begin!
