I think my FI would really like something like Raina just described. I had this saved from a knot.com gallery, so I imagine it would be similar to this pic.

are all your guests arriving at the same time? I would have it the first night so they can all get to know each other and hang out for the week

Leigh I so wish I could afford to bring you up to my wedding-I love your pictures-this was really hard but here are the ones I felt the most emotion from #7 driving off in the car and bride throwing bouquet-this captured the amount of fun everyone was having #9 kissing with out of focus background-this captures the passion of the couple #12 little boy trying to sneak the cake-I am sure this happens at every wedding #16 groom wiping his eyes-its nice to see the emotion in the men #20 bride getting help getting ready-she looks like she is enjoying someone helping her get ready #23-groom getting his ring on-he looks excited to have his new ring on #30-bride and groom kissing on the rock-just beautiful #37-bride laughing while on walk-she looks like a model, but she looks so blissfully in love #38-shoes-I love the detail shots #45-preparing for my wedding-you know when she wrote that she was smiling #63-getting zipped up-she looks so excited to be a bride, I feel like I know what she is thinking #67-moment of peace before the wedding-she looks like she is praying or something #89-couple kissing with traffic passing by-they look like they are so lost in themselves that nothing is going to interrupt their moment #92-“I’m Married” Yippee (that’s what I see in her face) #94-Come here and kiss me you fool #105-here honey let me show you #116-let me show you how its done-kids always steal the spotlight #118-I just love that people are able to include their furbabies #120-great décor feeling #123-are you standing in the right place (she looks so excited to pass along her wedded bliss to her friends) #125-pure utter happiness #131-my little boy is getting married-wow you can really feel the emotion from this one #140-life of the party

well the groom with the tongue in the ear was icky, and the one with the mom's in the ocean was super cute-but I really like the varieties of the pics. The one from way above the wedding location is amazing. I say go for it!!

congrats on your engagement and let me know if you have questions about Jamaica, I have lots of info on the Sandals and Beaches. Also Jennifer got married in Ocho Rios...otherwise, there are tons of places in Mexico, check out the sections about the various locations to help narrow it down.

Natalie that is so weird, my friends lived across from the high school on chesapeake court, we used to have block parties for the fourth of july and the people we stayed with were great friends with the guys from shaboom-did you ever go to their concerts at the festival? we actually went on a cruise with them Its such a small world

Sarah that is so great!!! What an awesome feeling-you are getting so close to your big day!!!

welcome mrs to be!!! let us know how we can help

welcome-let us know if you have any questions...can't wait to hear all your wedding details.

great job Jules...

we used to go to the garlic fest every year-my mom still does with some friends who live right across the street from the park its held at...I always enjoyed my summers there. Make sure you try the garlic ice cream next summer.

Melissa-I don't have a cat, but my dogs try to sit on my lap (both of them 25lbs and 20lbs at the same time) everytime I get on the computer.

welcome to the forum

welcome-I think Ann has really been advertising to the PV brides.

welcome-Ann will definately lead you in the right direction.

Brandy-you should speak with Rebecca, Glenda, hmm let me think who else is using Maye... by the way-I used to spend every summer in Gilroy and we always used to go shopping in Morgan Hill and the outlets of course!!!

you would need to speak to the coordinator at the resort about this, but I imagine a middle of the week wedding would not be as popular day to get married.

I think the sandals company has a lot to offer, they are couples only though and I was told that they cannot accomodate children and singles, so I would not go to an island that doesn't have a beaches if you are going to have singles and/or children.

Although I will admit I liked your centerpieces better but it's still cute to look at. -Glenda yes I bought it and I think I might use the candle cork thing for my table name bottles (I will create one soon and post my idea...its kinda hard to explain)

of course anytime-I get impatient with my computer a lot too, I teach for a living and my students all get laptops, they all get so frustrated and want it all to work right away, so I am used to helping people through computer problems.

honestly I think beagles are lazy, they get excited and run laps around the house once or twice a day, they can get loud. My little boy will talk back to me if he wants me to do something for him...I would say they are the most vocal dogs I have ever been around, but most of the time they love to cuddle and curl up on the couch, bed, what ever they are allowed on. They also love to lay in front of our patio window and "sunbathe"

I have beagles too-Toby and Tess, I never would have gotten a beagle, but my FI insisted and now I cannot imagine having any other kind of dog...they are such great pets this was their first time in the Atlantic Ocean when we went to the Outer Banks-Toby swam so much he couldn't lift his tail for two days.

jason is that for your at home reception? what about a pic of the two of you in Cancun when you went before?

I think someone "bought their witnesses"

I can't help here except to say if you want more people to be there which would be more affordable? Good luck
