oooohhhh - don't blame it on me! lol i'm so sorry you were sick, but glad you're back, and that your wedding all went ok (i hope!). hurry back from the gym (i am impressed, if that counts for anything) - we want to see pics!

welcome to the forum!

i never had any personalized cards - i don't think you have to do this at all! i had a random assortment of thank you cards i used!

our first dance was to "This I Promise You" by Ronan Keating - it was a surprise to me, paul picked it and wouldn't tell me ... i loved it!

oh, and btw - LOVE the new siggy! just can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!

i think it's an unwritten rule - you should be allowed to hijack your own husband's (or wife's) thread. seems logical to me.

awww - thanks, Beth!

lol - very good point! i don't even get my marriage license for a few months (legal wedding was in Hawaii on our honeymoon) - and i totally want to change my name to his! i have no patience!

lol - you've avoided that label! i still want to hear about the surprise though i can't wait, i bet it was good. that man of yours is CRAZY about you!

oh no - i just was sharing my experience! i did legally change my name back to my maiden name when i was divorced in 2003 - i just never really updated anything, everything was under my old married name until this past fall. the only thing that wasn't was my home that i owned - when i refinanced they had wanted to see my divorce papers (which showed my legal name change) - so then i had to come back and resign as my legal maiden name! no big deal ... just sharing!

welcome Mandy - just let us know how we can help! we've got brides and grooms getting married all over the place on here.

Definately this weekend. But I will give you this teaser. I have the most romantic husband ever. Imagine an aisle of tiki torches leading you to your destination, there is candle light, your feet are in the sand, drapes of crisp white linen surround you, the strains of flamenco guitar and crashing waves serenade you as the sun sets on the best day of your life. More details to follow. I'd say thats a pretty good teaser.....wouldn't you? P.S. Did I just hijack my husband's thread? whoops! lol! YES, and you did! ugh - how can i sleep tonight? ok, can you pass Jason Paul's number. Paul is the sweetest guy ever, but i'd hardly call him the most romantic. hmmmm ... maybe we can get together so they can share tips?

damn, you're good! that could be right - the Plaza Caracol sounds familiar!

OMG - totally forgot about the surprise - now I'm dying to hear!

i don't have all of the pics yet, but here is my slideshow ... Darkroom SlideShare

Get your social security changed soon!!! It could hold up tax return stuff (it is only July..but still). Oh and I found out I have to pay $67 to change the name on my passport since it is over a year since it was issued. Isn't that cool? Don't mind me I'm cranky cause i'm tired and not on a Carribean Beach anymore. i paid taxes under an "old" name for years - never caused me an issue! i don't necessarily suggest it, but i don't want anyone to get freaked out. afte rmy divorce in 2003, i never changed my name anywhere until the end of 2006 (talk about lazy, Christa!)

check these out ... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...you-think.html and http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ions-mail.html

you need to talk to Sarah and Christa - they did pocket folds and did most of the work themselves - and they looked GREAT!

it is i think - i remember asking them if they'd ship to the US!

I want you to know, we are working on getting you one...but I did want to give you some sites to ease your fears! The Dazzling Designs Company - Other Products (I believe this is where I ordered one of my starfish from) there is also this site, where i got my 2nd starfish, but the reason i have 2 is because this vendor had awful communication and i was afraid it wasn't going to get to me in time! eBay: BRIDAL BOUQUET JEWELS BY THE SEA COLLECTION STARFISH (item 6039667455 end time Jul-21-07 12:44:30 PDT)

welcome back, Jason! Karen beat you to it - but good to hear from you too! you know us - we can't wait to see picutes, and hear about how everything went.

welcome Carol! there are plenty of girls and guys here that will be able to help!

i didn't hire an outside coordinator, but my WC (at Las Caletas) was awesome!
