janet posted some great sites - i used powerpoint, but i am guessing those sites are easier to use. it may help to read this - i think she posted in here: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...-my-siggy.html

attached is what I sent my WC for flower ideas, and i think almost all of them would look great for you! Wedding Stuff - Flowers.doc

definitely talk to the gate agents when you board the blame to go to Mexico. if you want one when you depart too (your originating airport) just ask at the ticket counter where you'd check in. as for the RM - I can't help there, sorry!

and really i posted there too because i figured if there was this great, FREE, photography deal - i'd drive a couple hours for it! as an update ... someone posted something really nice after that girl - saying she appreciated me sharing and didn't know what was "up her butt" with the previous post. yay - there ARE nice people out there! she was super sweet.

My guess ... your first vent was Marty related!

i'm a forum virgin too! this is my first ... well, the knot was probably my first, but it didn't mean anything, i swear!

Thanks girls! I know there are definitely nice girls on there, I think most of us are probably members. I've posted on TK and have got things from that forum too. But wow - that just caught me off guard. I knew it might come off as spam or a vendor - which is why I was sure to mention I just got married, and would share my pics ... and you can look at all of my posts! They were so quick to attack me. Oh well - I hope I don't get Leigh in trouble or something!

My first vent thread ... AFTER the wedding, and nothing really wedding related. I guess I am doing alright! I am just cranky right now. So I posted a little note about Leigh's contest on the DW board on The Knot. One person said something about how that was a great opportunity, but that was about it. I also decided to post something on the local NY boards - and when I went there, there were a few of them (Upstate, NY City, etc.) so I posted on each - I don't know NY or where these places are, or even where Leigh will be! Totally thought I was being friendly and helpful by sharing this contest - I even said in these posts how I had just been married and how great Leigh was, and I'd share my slideshow. Well, on 2 of the 4 NY boards someone responded all bitchy like - one said "hello vendor" and another said "This is upstate NY which means AT LEAST a two hour drive each way to get to NYC. If your going to spam the boards don't forget NJ, CT and the PA boards " or something similar. Wow. Excuse me for trying to share something. I was really floored by that for some reason. My response to that 2nd one was "wow - someone said something about me being a vendor an another NY board too. listen, i am sorry - i thought i was being nice letting people know about this contest. i was just married, and Leigh was my photog (want to see my slideshow?). i don't know NY, never been there - i don't know where she's going to be or where "upstate" NY is. do you know where "uptown" is in Minneapolis? i apologize for trying to share something." anyway - it just made me realize how nice everyone is here. i never got "hooked" on The Knot like i did here, and now i see why. i know there are nice knotties, a lot of you being some of them, but wow are there some snottie knotties (to use a quote i recently heard, and found rather appropriate). so ... GROUP HUG!

ooohhh - I've never been to the DR - I can't wait to hear all about your wedding and see pictures!

OMG too funny. ironically, some friends of mine who have 2 kids said their doc used that line for both of their kids - they have 1 boy and 1 girl. "ooooohhh - it's a hot dog this time!"

oh wow, those are beautiful!

that wedding planner thing they have you fill out is pretty cool too

well she's on vacation until Aug I think. but not sure if Kelly (or someone else) is checking her emails. Nicole was always really great - it would depend on if she was at Caletas or not - but at most it was a couple days - sometimes right away.

i've always wanted to try doing something with color - never have though. i can't wait to see the outcome!

they sell everything from wine to food to accessories to furniture. have i mentioned that i love this store?

oh yea - i totally managed the spreadsheet for us. i'd have paul guess every once in a while - and he was surprisingly right on!

ooohhh - i love this store! i can spend hours (and $$) in there!

welcome Annie! my photogatpher is out of CA, but travels about anywhere! her name is Leigh Miller, she's also a member of this forum, and an all-around fabulous person! California | New York | Worldwide or check out this thread ... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ographers.html

Welcome, Critsey! Who are you working with? Glad to have you - you should post something so we can check out your work. To get you started, here is a link to the Vendor Rules: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ease-read.html

OMG too funny! I KNOW it wasn't my Kelly then (or at least I hope so) - she's got a hubby and a baby! your brother sure sounds like he had fun!
