welcome to the forum! let us know how we can help.

welcome to the forum! i remember when matt & sol shared their associate's work here - i remember really liking it - so i can't wait to see your pics! as for the photog using your photos, i think that's pretty standard practice. heck, i'd be honored if Leigh used some of mine!

lol - i never even gave the bathroom/TP thing a second thought! it really wasn't a big deal - promise!

we didn't even tell anyone about the legal ceremony - we only wanted it to be the 2 of us. is there any way you can explain to your inlaws that this is to be a private ceremony, only for the 2 of you?

i have no idea where to get those (maybe try Party supplies, crafts, party decorations, toys: Oriental Trading), but i LOVE your siggy picture, Sol!

i just love red hair! cute cut!

welcome to the forum! i can't wait to hear all about your wedding

i THINK everyone has their pashminas, I know Julie's arrived today - so Courtney should have hers too if she doesnt' already. and i've received payment from everyone - so thank you! if we want to do another order ... just let me know!

shhhh - it's our little secret! paul didn't really mind, and actually loved that i got all this great info on here. but now that we're already married - he gives me a hard time. it's one good thing about only seeing him on weekends - he has no idea how much time i actually do spend on here!

i added a poll for you! now i just need to figure out which to vote for ... and really, you could use both . we used several different ones depending on what we needed them for

i wish we could have worked it out to do the TTD in Paris ... how cool would that be!? sure you don't want to head over to Cyprus? just a hop, skip, and a big ol jump!

i was wondering this myself. like do i tell people that want the pictures (family) to order from Leigh's site so that 1) the quality is better and 2) Leigh gets her dues, or do I just send them to my Shutterfly account where I've uploaded them? How does the quality compare?

happy birthday Jill! i hope you have a great birthday weekend planned

welcome to the forum! the cancum brides will definitely be able to help you out. any idea when you want to get married yet?

oh wow - i can't imagine. people ask how i can just see paul on weekends (we travel for work). i really can't imagine how you do it! but i am so happy - he's almost home!

OMG - that's so soon! when was the last time you saw him again? i am so excited for you! other than the private stuff, do you have anything special planned? or do you two just prefer some much needed down time together?

i will close the thread - how about that? consider it closed!

welcome to the forum!

Sorry for the late welcome, not sure how I missed you! I see you're already getting lots of advice. Side note ...

this thread just reminded me to bring back my cindy crawford workout video. my butt always hurt after that one!

we printed our stuff (other than the STD magnets) on our home printer. do you have one at home?

ooohhh - we can yell at Erik! he just gave us permission! not a bad idea though (did a guy just suggest to this forum of women that the solution is to talk things out? huh, imagine that). maybe she doesn't really feel like she can/should come, maybe it's too much pressure. i guess i didn't consider that since, were i in her position, i'd probably just say right off the bat "hey, i just can't pull this off, i am sooo sorry" and be done with it. but maybe she is just looking for an out. that sucks all around!

welcome! i can't really comment on the specific locations - but don't fret, we'll help you find the perfect place! we have lots of brides getting married in Mexico, all over the place - and a few in the Carribean as well.

I totally see why you'd be super frustrated with your friend. She goes on and on about how she wants to make it to your wedding no matter what, but yet can't make that effort to save by limiting spending. And I don't think you were asking her to change her lifestyle, she's the one that said she wanted to come! However, I do agree with Erik too - we had the same attitude, if you can"t make it, I am sorry - we will miss you, and we'll send you pictures. We were not upset that anyone couldn't make it, whether or not they couldn't afford it, or just didn't want to spend the money to come to Mexico for our wedding. Their choice! I do think this case isn't that simple though - this girl seems to have made it clear she wants to be there, and wants to spend her $$ to come - then backed out on that, and was given the free ride, but said she'd save up anyway. But then she isn't. I definitely would be frustrated too. Could I talk in circles any more?

Grethen House is a really cute upscale clothing store. Mary is the owner, and is Tadd's mom. Tadd runs the business end and Maggie helps out when needed. Maggie runs the store in NE. You know, we really should have a get-together for the Twin Cities girls. Meet for a drink or a glass of wine, or even dinner. I would really love to do this. Anyone else interested? I'm totally going to swing by ... tell them to look for a random girl shouting "Maggie!?"
