BTB: Tami (foxytv) and Mrs.: Melissa (Raeka) you rock!

Carly, we purchased a color laserjet for our STD's and invites (which I plan to used). The only issue I have is that my printer doesn't like to grab heavy cardstock/cover. So its a PITA and the ink is pricey, however the quality is great. I say go for the laserjet!

Thanks Edna!!! What are you doing for Hair/Make-up??

I’m so excited you are going!!! You know this site visit is for me too, lol. Let me know how you like Enlace. Please check out the size of the band (we are only getting the 5pc) and let me know how that goes. Also, their transitioning to recorded music. Do ppl still dance?? Lighting- what they provide vs extras (rentals) vs what the Mayan provides. Pris says they only provide lighting for the stage and not the dance floor. Oh, check out the dance floor at the Mayan. Pris recommended that we cover it with white plastic. Is it really needed?? Food at the Mayan, taste for me too, lol!!! Oh, and is this the wedding that will have a Marimba band?? If so, let me know if they are worth it!

And the priest was cool and said he wouldn't intervene unless we asked him to. Turns out we are highly compatible (yay!), but there are things we differ on that we never considered after being together for years....so I think these kinds of tests are great! He did mention this at our first meeting, but didn't at our second. Hmm, I'll have to ask him.

So we'll go over that next time. I remember taking it my first year of college. I just can't remember what the results were. I'll let you know how it goes.

They need everything. It all needs to be apostle by the archdiocese and sent to the church in Mexico. I was able to get a copy of my FC cert, but now I'm having issues getting my Confirmation Certificate from Guadalajara! What a pain! Our preist here said he'd let it slide, but he's not sure the church in Mexico would. By Pre-Cana, do you mean the marriage class they send you to? Yes we did that in October. It was kind of fun! We just need all our paperwork (including our civil marriage) and 3 more meetings with our Priest, them we are free to get married, lol.

okay, Maura, don't kill me for saying this but, I think its a blessing in diguise! There are so many of us who wanted a catholic ceremony on the beach but no priest would officiate it. Now you an have it!!! How amazing is that!!! But I agree, it feels like you need to jump through hoops to get married by the Church. I've been there and am still going through it! Both the church in PV and those here (i.e. trying to get a copy of my 1st communion certificate and the Church having NO RECORD of it!)

welcome!!! There is a ton of info on PV! Let us know how we can help!

Thats horrible!!! So unprofessional!!!!

Welcome Jessica!!! I'm a PV bride too! Let us know how we can help!

Welcome Amy!!! (p.s. I'm Amy and getting married in PV too!)

I've flown with them. To be honest, I've never really paid attention to airlines. They are not a charter though, they are similar to Mexicana Airlines.

Happy Birthday Tammy!!!!

A friend just emailed this: Quote: A lady walks into Tiffany's. She browses around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to look more closely she inadvertently breaks wind. Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her little accident and prays that a sales person doesn't pop up right now. As she turns around, her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind her. Cool as a cucumber and displaying complete professionalism, the salesman greets the lady with, 'Good day, Madam. How may we help you today?' Very uncomfortably, but hoping that the salesman may just not have been there at the time of her little 'accident', she asks, 'Sir, what is the price of this lovely bracelet?' He answers, 'Madam, if you farted just looking at it, you're going to shit when I tell you the price.'

Thanks Anny!!! I knew the line sounded funny and NO ONE in my family could help me, lol! Quote: Originally Posted by PaulaV I love them Amy! No wonder you are exhausted! Of course I love your colours too ~grin~ Aww, I love your colors too! Quote: Originally Posted by Just Martha Amy! Those are truly awesome! I love them!!! Thanks Martha! I'll post a template later once I'm done with them. Quote: Originally Posted by coreyphil They look great Amy!

That was exactly what I was trying to avoid! I'm sure I'll still get ppl confused about how to fill it out, lol. And we are VERY worried about unexpected guests. Ppl are unbelievable. I was at a family get together and some long lost cousin approached me and said he and his wife were so excited about going to PV, they already have their room! Hans turned to me and was like who is that??

As much as I want to say that you need to tell FI brother, I'm not sure if thats the best thing to do. Your FI doesn't want you to say anything and you did let HIM know. Now, if he changes his mind, then I think you should tell him with your FI's support. Telling him now may cause too many issues b/t you and your FI.

Hi Edna, We have only decided on the main course; we went with the chicken and beef filet with seafood.

Kate, I love your tablescape! Did you bring your them from home or did you find the vases in Cabo?
