This is a great thread guys-- Congrats on your awesome efforts to quit.. and thank you for honestly showing us how hard it is even when you REALLY want to quit.. how easy it is to fall off the wagon and make mistakes. Best of luck to you girls and I'm hoping your experiences will inspire me and I need to quit and have wanted to quit for so long. I just can't get myself together to actually do it! I kind of made a mental note that I'm going to wait until I move out of my house because it will be impossible to quit with others smoking in the house still! We'll see! Good luck guys, stay strong and we're all supporting you!!!

WOW, your mugs look great!! I can't even believe they were DIY. Awesome job!

Welcome Randi! Congratulations and best of luck with your planning- you've definately come to the right place!!

They look great!!!

Wow this is absolutely ridiculous! Only in NJ...... I do agree that some regulations/proper certifications wouldn't be a bad idea either.. but that's also up to you as the client to chose a place that they feel safe and comfortable going. I would never just go anywhere for that.

I know what you mean about liking the "candid", in between poses, people not realizing they are being photographed, raw photos. How about something like... Capturing the moments in between.. The best moments are the unexpected.. capture them. or in the one you mentioned liking it used the word fabulous.. if you like that word.. then maybe.. Fabulous photos create fabulous memories. Hmm.. thats all I've got for now. I think I need more coffee to be creative.

Oh gosh your poor mom! I hope this finally does the trick for her. The dentist is scary enough without having all of these crazy issues!

wedding: cake

What an amazing story! Clearly your stregnth, patience, and open heart has brought you love twice. Congratulations and best of luck!

Happy Birthday!!!

Hi Liz- Welcome to the forum!! It's such a great for all of the information you could possibly need! The girls here are great! Let me know how your trip to Punta Cana goes-- I LOVE IT there. Went last April for the first time and I'm completely addicted. Since then we were back once in October and are planning another trip in May!! Best of luck in your planning!

They came out great, you two look adorable and happy!

That's so cool that you went and did! Obviously it paid off because your dress is absolutely gorgeous!! Congrats!!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum!! You've found a great place for all sorts of information, advise, and friendship!

I also believe strongly in thank you's.. BUT the best ones are sent because you sincerely want to thank someone, not because it is required or etiquette. I love sending thank you's for little things all of the time.. thanks for dinner, thanks for coffee, thanks for listening when I was upset the other day... etc. You never realize how much it may brighten someones day. As for the wedding ones- I understand how they can get tricky- but I think the important thing, whether it's a card sent in a timely manner or not- is to make sure you thank the people who were there for you and gave you gifts in whatever personal way best suits you, them, and the situation since all are different. All I mean really is- don't forget the root of the reason you are sending them!

Congrats girls!!!

Great tips!!! Thanks!! I have a feeling there will be NO controlling my hair in Cabo during July but hopefully I can use some of these!!

Ali-- I dont know how I missed this thread before! Too many work interruptions how dare they!! hehe But congrats!!! Everything looks so beautiful and I'm glad you guys got everything you hoped for and more!!

Soo cute!! Thanks for sharing!! I don't think its dorky.. just showing off your excitement!! I wonder if they make these for guys?? Not that I would be able to get my FI to wear one.. but being in a long distance relationship-- did you guys ever think about how we have this flashy ring on our fingers but our FIs don't have anything to show they're very taken?! hahaha

Great job Natalie!! And thanks for the tip!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to set this up Stephanie!!

Thanks for sharing Tammy.. so funny and so true!!

Welcome Rebecca!! I'm from NJ also! There's lots of information on those resorts.. do a search and you'll find the threads. We can't wait to hear more about your plans and let us know what we can help with!

Hi Riubride! You can go either way with that-- I have heard good things about the RIU photographer, but you can hire outside too. In my personal opinion, the pictures are of utmost importance so my best advice is just to do your research on both the RIU photographer suggestions and some outside ones and see whose work you like the best. Good luck and let us know what else we can help with!!
