I wonder who the remaining mysterious boudoir gal is ... are is she good at hair and makeup? Hmmmm?

OMG - there's a video too? This is torture! THanks for sharing everything Ali!

she can just lay by the pool and peoplewatch! that's what i like to do anyway!

i have absolutly no worries about my FI being on this site - he'd never bother! he doesn't want to see my dress, so he's extra careful to avoid it

welcome, Sara! there are definitely other Dreams Cancun brides here, of course I can't name them right now - but they will show up, no doubt! let us know how we can help!

ok, too lazy - here they are again! and i have too many pictures in my gallery, so i need to clean house apparently - it wouldn't let me upload anymore. here's an attachment... dress.doc

me too! i skipped yesterday (naughty!), but worked out to Cindy today. i figured i had to be good today since i leave for MN tomorrow night, and won't be able to work out Th-Sun! though i might play soccer w/my old team one of the nights. that's something!

very good point - this is for us too! a lot of the stuff i've thought about bringing (sexy dresses, etc.) is in storage. it's a long story, but i thought i had sold my condo, and Paul and I had found a house in MN - so I moved everything into storage (into a POD!) - thinking that we'd be moving in a month or so. well, that was August. my sale fell through, so we walked away from the MN house, and my stuff is still in storage! i've been wearing all of paul's winter gear. how awful. anyway - so i may be a tad limited in what i have - but i will bring it! and of course, go shopping!

i almost wish this was paul's style - i can do THIS! he always tells me he thinks i am sexy at the oddest times - like i will have my hair in a ponytail, and just sitting on the couch in my PJs. i just don't think those will make for great pics! lol

i am sooo not a morning person, but i know that if i don't work out in the morning i just won't do it. and it's not that bad if you can get into the routine - and it's so nice to have it out of the way!

Sarah - I was going to offer for you to stay at my place too, but I just wasn't sure how I'd explain that one to Paul! That would be great if you could work it out with Leigh. I thought about false eyelashes too - but honestly, girls - I have no clue! Would any of you feel comfy doing my makeup/eyelashes? If not, I'll probably have to get them done, since I don't know the first thing about putting it in (I have never worn it!). I can always get it done in the morning before the shoot.

I like these bouquets - or parts of them. I haven't done a lot of looking here, but have just saved these off as I come across them. I think this is Tammy's (I just noticed some of these are Leigh Miller's photos - thanks, Leigh!)

Welcome, Alice! Sarah and Christine have asked some great questions to get you started in narrowing down a place to get married. Don't worry - you came to the right place for help!

The only reason I thought that is becuase on the first post - this is what I had ... 3) Leigh has the following times available -- Thursday, February 8th between 11am - 4pm and Friday, February 9th between 12 noon - 4pm. Whichever time slots works best for the most people will "win." So we'll just need to verify with her what time she wants - anything works for me, but I am in the city already. I'd be game for going somewhere, especially for makeup. I'm afraid of what someone would do to my hair - but I am also afraid of what I might do since my hair has it's own mind! Are any of the other ladies interested in me checking into getting hair and/or makeup done? The place I've been before is Roots on Grand - Roots Hair Salon - Chicago, IL, 60622 - Citysearch

Oh yea - I meant to ask you girls about this too. I also wanted to verify with Leigh what time this is starting - it might be noon. But I don't wear makeup - literally none - I don't own ANYTHING! But I do want to wear something for this - so I was going to ask Leigh or any of you girls that will be there if you would feel comfortable 1) helping me and 2) sharing your makeup or telling me what to buy! And hair - hmmmm, I guess I'd just do it at home, and bring some stuff to touch up. If you need more time, we can always have you go last so you have time to get pretty! lol I don't have any plans to get hair or makeup done professionally, but I thought about it - maybe I will ask the place I am going to tonight for electrolysis if they do anything like that. Or there's another spa just a few blocks away from me I could ask. And if people want to - I can make appts for all of us (assuming they can fit us in).

OOhhhh - I am getting excited! I am getting electrolysis done tonight - this has nothing to do w/the session, don't worry - but this spa where I get it done has some really cute lingerie, so I am going to take a little peek and see what I can find. I am going to TRY to go shopping this weekend or next week too. YAY!

Very helpful! I will be on a mission when I am there, and I will take all sorts of pics! I don't think I will be able to go on a site visit either. Ummm, should I be nervous that there's a ROCK CONCERT the night of my welcome dinner? Yikes. I guess I don't have to get my own music!

Ditto what Amy just said - most of the stuff I have from her (the Dreams WC, Marilu) is attached to this thread. I am having my welcome dinner at Dreams, but getting married offsite - but am still working with Marilu. She can be slow to respond at times, but hang in there! Let us know how we can help, and we'll do what we can.

i should have hired you as my photographer AND stylist!

note taken ... i will get on teh ball!

that's what i keep telling paul. there's nothing we HAVE to do right now, but i should start doingn stuff now so i don't get overwhelmed in a couple months.

you and i are thinking alike - let us know how it goes, since i am in the same boat right now. i was thinking of ordering them soon

Out of Town

ok - very helpful, thanks! did you put any logo or design on them at all?
