  1. You're welcome. I love seeing pictures of it too- just so I can get a better idea what it looks like. And I always get more excited when I do see them! It's not the same photographer - I am using Leigh Miller, she's on this site now, you may have seen her.
  2. lol - no problem, i just think it's funny. when my FI's roomie moved out (about a year and a half ago) he took his direct tv with him, paul never bothered to get cable. then when i moved in this past fall, it was supposed to be just temporary until we found a house in MN and moved up there. well, that process has taken longer than we thought. if i had known i'd still be here, i would have got cable right away! don't worry about shipping it just yet - but thanks for the offer! i think a girlfriend of mine has it too - i just haven't taken the time to get it from her and watch it.

    Hey All

    Welcome! I may be heading to Costa Rica in Feb. for a work event, if I do I will be sure to take lots of pictures!
  4. Just got this link from Nicole (my WC) - it's a wedding at Las Caletas for those that are interested. Soo|Photography
  5. ummmmm, yea. refer back to a post i made about not having cable. unless it's on NBC, ABC, CBS, or MeTV (not sure why we get this one) - i am out of luck. oh, we kind of get Fox in the bedroom. ugh. poor me. now you know when i am on this forum on the weekends so much too!
  6. If we can make this Chicago get-together happen, I just may have you bring those for me! I do feel left out in conversations that discuss S&TC
  7. Oh - good point! I did ask her if she's store them, and she said she would - no problem. The only thing is I don't know yet if my guest count will go over 50 - then I am not sure what I'd do for the rest of the people! Where did you get the placemats, maybe I can just order more?
  8. WOOHOO! Another to-be-wed Chicago member! ok, ok, I have to admit, Natalie, Jenetta, Jen, and I have been standing out on the street corners in Chicago handing out flyers and offering $$ to join this site. HA! Jay - glad to have you. Let us know how we can help you and your bride to be!
  9. welcome, welcome, welcome! glad you're here - even if it is right before your wedding date. tell us more! and we always love pictures of anything you want to share. are you getting excited?!
  10. Ditto - I think I recognize you from the other forum/sites I belong to (Knot and PV Brides Yahoo group - I am 2BMarriedinPV I think, or something). I am getting married at Las Caletas in June - welcome! This is where I spend most of my time! Glad to have you - let us know about your wedding ... I think you're getting married at Dreams?
  11. I couldn't see what was posted at the top of her blog, but from what I gather after reading her comments, it sounds like she's doing ALL THREE couples for free! How great is that!?
  12. Wow - that sounds awesome! I can't wait to hear more about your planning as you go along.
  13. Wow - not too far away at all! Are you more excited or nervous? I hope you'll come back and share your stories and pictures with us! Do you have much left to do, or are you just waiting for your big day to arrive!?
  14. Good to know, thanks for the tip! I am getting married on the beach at Las Caletas - I knew they offered other locations, but not sure I knew about the jungle! That could be a pretty cool setting. Where are you getting married? I should probably have about 50-70 people at my wedding - we added a few to the invite list at the last minute, a good chunk of kids are invited as well. I have soooo many questions for you (what decorations you're doing, your food, your music, YOUR DRESS!, etc.) but I will try to be patient and wait for you to get back.
  15. Very cool - I am so excited for you! I just got done emailing Nicole about some questions I had. I haven't even had any time to think about decorations yet (well, I've had time to think, just not do anything!), and I am always looking for ideas! I really hope you stop in when you get back and let us know how it went, and share your pictures!
  16. 1) You should be able to add a poll by going to "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread. Then I can't remember from there, but hopefully that points you in the right direction! 2) Honestly, I can't decide, and it will probably come down to what Paul wants, and I am guessing he will want traditional - that we don't see eachother before the wedding. But I like the idea of having some private time together beforehand, to see eachother for the first time - and hopefully have your photographer there to capture that moment. I can see both ways though. I had started another thread about the guys seeing our dresses before the wedding, and it kind of turned into this discussion - read if you're interested! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t2054
  17. Oh boy - those are good questions. I haven't talked to Nicole about that at all. I did plan on throwing in something for motion sickness in my OOT bags, but haven't done anything beyond just writing the idea down. Wow - what's he going to do about a suit? I'd be nervous! But really - he could get away with wearing just about anything at the wedding, so you always have a backup. I cannot wait to hear about your wedding and seeing your pictures! You're getting married a day after my birthday - I'll be thinking about you!
  18. I know - and she's amazing! I thought about submitting too, but I just didn't feel like I had a great story to tell. And I feel better knowing that someone who deserves it won!
  19. I had actually heard that Janet Jackson did that a while ago - who knows?!
  20. I am getting married in June - June 8th - cross your fingers for me! Here are the pictures she sent ... hope it helps!
  21. We got engaged at the end of Sept; and I don't think we officially picked a date or location until the end of Nov. - so no worries! Granted, we didn't get the exact date we wanted, so we had to be a little flexible - but in the end, we're happy!
  22. Well, you're welcome to be as active or inactive as you feel comfortable on here. But I have to warn you - it's addicting! I've never belonged to a forum before, but once you start ... it's easy to get hooked! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! There are some girls here getting married in Jamaica, some in the DR, Hawaii, mainland US (Napa!), and many in Mexico. Let us know if we can help you at all, or if you have any specific questions!
  23. Welcome!! Or, I guess, welcome back! Just wanted to say hi and let you know that if you have any questions or need to bounce some ideas off of people - you have plenty of DW brides here!
