Can't wait to see Ann's pics... I love the journal idea. I think Tammy had talked about doing some sort of blog thing at one point, but I don't think it's ready to be released to the public yet or something. theres a bridal board in san diego that i used to go on when i was planning my wedding and they have a journal section. its kind of fun to read all the ups and downs and great advice of wedding planning. cant wait to see your pics too! juan carlos is going to rock it im sure!!! i will be shooting a wedding in riviera maya at el dorado royale when you are getting married. but i will be thinking of you too!!! and OMG - sarah i cant believe this but i just remembered you were in my dream last night. not in any kind of weird way. you had your clothes on - haha! i think we were all in chicago again just chit chatting and talking about wedding planning. funny huh? but dont think im a weirdo ok man maybe i need to get out more. i really dont dream about weddings, wedding planning or photography that much

amy that is so awesome. and let me tell you from experience, a great resource to have. i found myself in mexico for a wedding and i had the flu. all i could find was day-quil. i would have given my right arm for some thera-flu. ok well maybe not my right arm. that would make my job really hard. how about my left pinkie toe? thank goodness i always arrive 2 days early and had an entire day to stay in bed. regardless the wedding was wonderful and the pics were great! i doubt anyone could pick out which wedding i shot sick if they had to. but its so nice to know where to go to get meds if you need them! everyone make sure you take whatever cold or flu medicine with you that you are used to taking and you know works when you are sick! i cant stress that enough!!!

great job sarah! i know you so well now, you might say intimately - haha - i wish i was going to be at your wedding i cant wait to see your pics. maybe there should be a journal section. for gals to start their own journals that others can follow. or maybe not. just a thought!

shes so going to read this!

welcome! you will have a blast here. and get lots of help too. i dont know much about the USVI but i honeymooned in the bahamas congrats!

yeah that one looks beautiful! it should work great i was JK about the photo credit - haha! i sent you an email. i dont know if youve checked but your BD album is here looks great!

thanks for the photo credit ann! those gazebos are all wonderful. but be aware if you do the lattice ones you may end up with stripes on your face in the ceremony pics and thats only cool if youre a tiger - rrrr!

not my shoes, but shoes from this weekends wedding at the san diego wild animal park. they are guess.

i guess you need to leave some kind of aisle. so id just put two on one side and three on the other. and ann - yes throw something. tennis balls, confetti, rose petals - whatever! but i love the exit pics even when no one throws anything. its just such a fun and monumental photo. on a side note, i got my new camera and some new lenses and i am so going to have to get over myself. i came home saturday night and felt like super photographer. i woke my husband up to tell him and i quote "i am a force to be reckoned with!!!" i was just beside myself and all geeked out with my new gear

1 - yes! are you having a photographer? they make for fun photos. i will never get tired of photographing the exit from the ceremony 2 - id say yes. are any of them older? its going to be hot at your wedding. just a thought.

i think those are cool but one wedding i shot in the bahamas they had the shell bouts and they were so heavy they wouldnt stay pinned to the guys shirts correctly. some feel right off. they stayed pinned to the grooms suit jacket which was a heavier weight - with the support of extra pins. just an FYI

bookmarking that site

oh my gosh! it would be totally unprofessional for me to comment..... i know, i was wondering what i did too! how did you ever find this site?

ann it looks lovely. once you get it fitted it the length will probably be a little better. do you think? dont worry, once it fits you will look like goddess of all brides.

is playa the cancun, riviera maya area? if so send sol tamargo (photographer) a PM and see if she knows anyone. she lives there. good luck.
