  1. Andrea I hope that things get better for you. I actually had some of that going on and changed my destination to some place closer to my friends and family. What if you have a small wedding in Mexico, then have a nice gathering at home with your parents and others who couldn't come. Not sure if that is something that can even happen for you, but who knows.
  2. welcome from the other side of the pond.

    welcome, Ann (akh) is our Las Caletas Moderator if you have any questions please let us know.
  4. welcome, I can't wait to hear how the RUI Ocho Rios is, we are planning on honeymooning in Ocho Rios.
  5. those are really cute. I love them. I was thinking about hair flowers for my flower girls...how exciting.
  6. those are really cute. I couldn't find any thing that goes with our wine country theme so I figure I will make them and it will probably be cheaper.
  7. Glenda thanks for always thinking about my crazy Napa wedding. I am going to make these for my bach party since we are going wine tasting in temecula and then for the guests who come on our wine tour. I have been researching prices and it is so much cheaper to make them and more personalized.
  8. Welcome Lee-I know we have tons of Cabo Brides. I can't believe you are shooting for this summer...that is coming up soon. I hope you get a hold of the WC at dreams. Let us know if you need any other help with details...that's what we are all here for.
  9. Welcome to the forum, I am sure Amy and Ann can help you with all your PV questions. but please feel free to ask the rest of us anything else.
  10. Welcome Heather-can't wait to hear all the details you have so far.
  11. good thing your future hubby knows so many people-that's great Anny.
  12. welcome to the forum, your day is coming up soon. Let us know what you have planned so far and if you have any questions.
  13. well if I add anything else to my "to buy" list my parents and Fiance might give up on me.
  14. I think I found myself a new DIY project. I wanted to give our guests who choose to go on the wine tour a little favor, but something simple and reusable. I wish I could afford personalized wine glasses, but that's not realistic. So I thought Wine glass charms would be cool. I found this instruction site to make my own, and since I cannot find exactly what I want I think this is my best option. not martha to make : ridiculously easy wine glass charms I decided to make sets of 12 charms each, so I got 12 different colors I bought 6mm druk beads (simple Czech glass) - I originally wanted 8mm but those did not fit over the rounded wire I bought base metal (as opposed to sterling silver) 1" hoops that are actually earring findings - they also carried 3/4" which probably would have worked out even better, but may have created more problems getting the bead on detail of the ends, one is flattened and has a hole punched in it creating it's own clasp later STEP ONE: put the bead on STEP TWO: grab the regular end with some pliers (needle nose would work best if you have them) - just 1/4" or less. I found holding the hoop right where I was going to bend it worked best STEP THREE: bend upwards STEP FOUR: admire your work. Slip the flattened end with the hole over the bent end to secure. http://www.notmartha.org/images/tomake/winecharms/finished1.jpg detail of closed charm If it doesn't want to hold, gently pull the hoop open so that it will have some tension when closed. ta da! I packaged some in those glass topped favor containers which are so trendy these days. These simple wine charms are so easy to make it's silly. All I ended buying were the hoops and the beads themselves. I bought my hoops at JewelrySupply.com - base metal silver, 100 for $9. The beads I bought at General Bead here in San Francisco. They came in units of 25 for $1.50 to $3.00 per unit. I also found the hoops at General Bead. If you want you can get more complex and start adding charms attached with little jump rings.
  15. Kash that is so exciting, congrats-see now your beautiful dress will be worth it.
  16. okay now I just looked at his most recent wedding-the focus and color is much better. I would say see if he can show you a recent wedding at your resort when you contact him
  17. Melissa, I looked at the one wedding from the same resort you are going to and honestly-his work is out of focus and the colors seem off to me. this is my honest opinion. I think most of the girls have their photogs staying at the resort as a guest and they are officially counted as a guest at the wedding. It seems like that is the only way to do it. As far as picking-when you look at their photos I truly believe you should be able to feel the emotion of the moment. One of my friends who recently got married told me to look at the background of the pics, does the photog center the pics, avoid weird things in the background (like they guy you linked us to had tons of people in the background of their beach shoot), remember that you will study these pictures for years, think about what is going to bug you and that is something that would truly bug me. my personal opinion is try to find someone you like and then make them a guest at your wedding?
  18. Ann that is so awesome, how exciting. I can't wait to see them, I love her work so much.
  19. Kash those are awesome. I love them and love all the inserts. That really helped me figure out how to do my inserts. Thanks
  20. Mikki that is thoughful of you-I just donated some points your way. I don't need monograms but I have a lot of points.
  21. my cousin sent this to me-thought it was pretty funny Need somethong to ponder over the weekend? Here it is: 1. Is it good if a vacuum really sucks? 2. Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand? 3. If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? 4. If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words? 5. Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack? 6. Why does "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing? 7. Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing? 8. Why do "tug" boats push their barges? 9. Why do we sing "Take me out to the ball game" when we are already there? 10. Why are they called "stands" when they are made for sitting? 11. Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"? 12. Doesn't "expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected? 13. Why are a "wise man" and?wise guy? opposites? 14. Why do "overlook" and "oversee" mean op posite things? 15. Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds? 16. If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it? 17. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? 18. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? 19. If you are cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? 20. Why is bra singular and panties plural? 21. Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead? 22. Why do we put suits in garment bags and garments in a suitcase? 23. How come abbreviated is such a long word? 24. Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them? 25. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? 26. Why do they call it a TV set when you only have one? 27. Christmas - What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks?
  22. my FI could not think of anything either, but he did say that the whole "to have and to hold" up until the "from this day" is weird. Here is Anny STD...maybe this will be better. I would say see if they can add a barcode or some xxxx because you really don't need all that text.
