I would not worry about this at all, its everywhere right now, its here in Canada as well. So if you are going to get it, you are going to get it, you can get it at home just as easily as in Mexico, so don't stress about it.

If you do have your photog photoshop them out, be prepared for your friend to be really hurt by that. If she is a really good friend, which I am guessing she is, then her feelings should matter more to you than a small tattoo in your pictures. But if vanity is more important than your friend and her feelings, then go ahead and get rid of a part of her, just be prepared for the outcome.

I agree, it bugs me so much that I leave the room while its on and do something else. Its soo stupid. I am kinda hoping he did kill himself, is that mean. lol

Is it Jeffery that is bugging him and who he thinks is the squirrel? I realize that she sees a lot of people with the squirrel head, but is it Jeffery that is making him like this? I think they alluded to that, but what does everyone else think?

I also agree with Abbie, she makes a great point about where your photographers efforts should be put and its not into your friend.

 

Also, I agree 100% with the fact that she is who she is, don't try to cover that up, she will be insulted for sure.

Same here, its not working, I can't wait to see it though.

She has to make sure the Notary is available in order to make your wedding legal. She will have your date and time written down (she is very very organized and very good at her job), she will not let someone else have your time if you asked first. But she does have to get the okay, its not up to her. I say wait a little while longer, she will get back to you and I am guessing you will get the date and time of your choice.

I totally can't remember my newbie thread. So now I am curious and my mission today will be to go and find it. I love how so many people don't read the whole thread and just welcome you, that makes me laugh. Sorry I never welcomed you when you first came, not sure what I was up to that day

Awe Shel, everything looks awesome. I am soo excited for you. I can't wait to see pictures and hear all about your perfect day that you have waited so long for.

Wow, you look HOT!! Your FI is going to love them.

I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. Sometimes these things happen close to the wedding because one of the people has cold feet. BUT, telling you he is embarrassed of you, that is WRONG. Even if he didn't mean it, he should never have said it. You need to sit down and have a talk with him. He can't just take your ring away whenever he gets angry, that is wrong on so many levels. He sounds pretty controlling as well, like you can come to the party when he thinks you can't come, but when you can he decides he doesn't want you there, he is telling you what to do and that is stay at home. Telling you he is embarrassed of you is again controlling, he is telling you he is better than you and you should do what he says. He has issues he needs to deal with and therefore you both have issues that need to be dealt with. I suggest counseling . If he will not go, then you know he is not willing to fight for your relationship and if he is not willing to fight, then why are you fighting?

 

I really hope this gets worked out soon, no matter what the outcome is, you need and deserve some answers and so do your kids.

We used our free trips, instead of taking the $10 off each person's trip, we used one for a GM who would not have been able to come otherwise and the other for our photographer. I asked my guests and they said they didn't care about $10 when the free trips would help us out so much. But never would we have charged them more, I felt bad enough not saving them $10.

Wow, that bride is the one who wanted a DW, she should be paying more not having her guests pay more. I am shocked and sooo glad I don't know her, she would be getting a piece of my mind that is for sure. That is so low and scummy it makes me sick.

That is not fair at all for that TA to make it sound like everyone does it. I am glad you are not using her, who knows what else she would tell you everyone does.

 

I am glad you found this forum so you can ask all the questions you have and find all the answers

I agree with this 100%. I have never heard of anyone doing this, and if I was the guest I would say F&%# that, I am paying for my trip and not someone else's.

I was just about to say the same thing. Sorry if it seems like no one is answering you and just telling you to search, but really we are all tired of dealing with the same questions over and over again. The search function is a great feature, I use it before I start any new threads just to make sure its not already on here. Just a tip. Search and you will find your answer

I think I am in the minority here, but I hope Tyra and Neil get together, I liked her from the start and I never liked Neil and Karen together. BUT, I think Drew might be coming back, if so, Tyra and Drew would totally make for good enemy's, so that might be where this is going. I could be wrong, but I really don't think Drew is gone forever.

I KNEW IT!!! I totally knew that Sharon was going to be prego, it seemed to be the only thing they could do to her next. I am not sure who's I hope it is, it would be funny if it was Billy's, but that would destroy Jack and Noah, so I guess I hope its Nick's because then at least the baby would have the same parents as Noah. And I bet its a girl and her middle name will be Cassie.

Etiquette is that you have it no later than a year after your engagement, and no later than 6 months before the wedding date. I know that people don't follow etiquette much anymore, but if you want people to come to your wedding shower and your wedding its best not to invite them to too many things in too short a time frame. Does that make sense?

I think its a temporary ban, so she might be back to tell us.

It did. You can get them to translate it, but it takes a lot more time and you have to pay for it. There is no need to translate it, the government offices take it as in, in Spanish. So it was super easy to change my name.

It depends on when you are getting married and how many people you have coming. Our legal ceremony was totally free, we had a lot of free stuff included in our package, like my hair and flowers, etc... We got married in October and had 52 guests, but I think you only need to have 10 rooms booked to get the free wedding package. The beach BBQ was extra, but was worth every penny.

Mine took 3 months almost to the day from our wedding. It seems like a long time while you are waiting, but that is really pretty fast when you think about the country its coming from.

Welcome to the forum. You picked an amazing resort and you are going to be soo very happy with your choice. Check the Cuba threads there is a lot of good info on there for you. And do not hesitate to message me with any of your questions.

Your bouquet is beautiful and soo real looking. I love it.

Just an FYI, I did not get any documents before I left Cuba with respect to the wedding. So not all resorts give you this unofficial document. I waited till I got my wedding certificate in the mail and that is when I changed my name, etc...

 

As the other girls said, it was very very easy.

 

I was told that your passport should always be good for 6 months from the date of travel just to be safe, so I would suggest you get a new one if yours is less than that, just to be on the safe side, I would hate for that to cause you issues and keep you from getting to your wedding.
