Tami its stunning. I can totally picture you having your ceremony there. I love it. I can't wait to see the pictures of your wedding there.

Jill, did you get the PM I sent you? It was a few days ago and I did not hear back from you, so I am wondering if it never sent with the forum quirks lately.

to the forum. What Robyn was too nice to say is that she is also a Photographer and a good one by the looks of her site. Check her out. I also had an amazing photographer for my wedding, but she is located in Canada, so you would have to pay for a flight. Let me know if you have any questions about her. I am sure you will get all the info you need on this forum. Happy Planning.

When I booked with my TA we only needed 10 people to book to reserve our group rate. So, we asked those close to us who we knew were going for sure if they could book and then we would pay the remainder of the bookings (knowing without a doubt we would get more than 10) and that money would come off our trip when others paid their deposit (we ended up having more then 10 right away so we did not have to pay anything extra). Can you set up something like that?

Kate getting there twice this week is a great accomplishment when you are so busy. Try to fit in one more time if possible and you will have had a good week. We do not need to work out every day for it to have an impact. Any activity is good activity.

I made my final payment and just waiting for the check to clear and I can pick it up! I am afraid that when I pick it up, I will need to try it on every morning, every night when i get home from work and then again before I go to bed. That is, if I can take it off at all! Hhahahahaaa. I thought I would be the same way, but I didn't try it on at all. I took it in for alterations a few days after I got it, and she kept it there for me till I came back for a fitting and she had it till about a week before the wedding, I had my final fitting then took it to the store to be steamed and picked it up the day before we left. That was the best way for me. No chance DH would see it and no chance I would try it on and rip it or spill something on it, both nightmares of mine.

Do not resize them Carly, they are a good size. I think you look stunning in that dress. I am so glad you decided on this one. I can't wait to see you in it all done up. Man I wish all you girls were getting married sooner, I spend too much time on this forum now and I am already married. Get married already so I don't lose my new job because I am still on here everyday. lol

Erica, we all knew you were hot, but wow do you ever look amazing in that dress. You should be the model for that dress for sure. I can't wait to see it all together.

There are a few girls on here who use turbo jam, and I just found out my friend has it. I can ask her what she thinks of it. I know Jilly does it all the time. I went to bootcamp again last night. It was killer because I was so tired and had major cramps and still muscle pain from Tuesday's bootcamp. But, I got through it and I am glad I went.

Are you on the Facebook group I also wanted to let you know that there is a long post right now at Weddingbells.ca in the destionation wedding section showing all the prices and options at Ocean Blue, I just read it and it seems pretty informative.

I love the pic, was contemplating whether to do something similar or ebay my dress, haven't decided but your pic is making me want to take a splash You can totally do both. I did TTD and I am going to sell my dress. Its in perfect condition still and its lace. I just need to go and get it cleaned and then I am going to try to sell it.

I added a bookmark for that page to refer back to for a great baby shower gift or even my own kids some day. Thanks, we bought them for the wedding and now my niece is using them for her "night night music" and she loves them and we all sing along to the monitor, its pretty funny.

to the forum Steph. You will find lots of great information here. I do not know anything about your resort, but I do know when I was looking some WC's would talk to me before I booked and some would not. I think it depends on the resort.

I have seen some stunning all white bouquets, have you thought about that? here are some Google Image Result for http://www.petalsbymarsha.com/communities/004/005/322/392/images/4509639608.jpg (this one is my favorite)

to the forum. You will find lots of information here. Happy planning.

I like the other one you are thinking about and the price is right. I am sure they have more than 1, just email them a question on ebay and they will let you know. That is what I did for everything I ordered from ebay. Let us know what you decide on.

Ahh, so it was not decided. lol I did not put my name on the card, but I am still sending another piece, hopefully soon. I will put my name on that part.

Happy Birthday Lauren I hope you have a great day and an amazing year ahead.

Congratulations!! I hope you have a perfect day. I can't wait to hear about it and see the pictures.

I am not sure if this insterests you at all, but for dinner music we used these cd's Rockabye Baby! - Transform your favorite rock music into baby music. Our guests loved them, they kept trying to guess the band and song name. It was fun and still let people talk and listen to songs they liked, just differently. Some might think its a terrible idea, but we loved it and so did our guests, so I thought I should post it in case someone else thinks its as great as well did. We had Tool (one of my fave bands), Metallica, U2, Cold Play, Nirvana and Beatles. We wanted Nine Inch Nails but could not find it in the stores near us.

Wow, you look stunning. I love your hair and the flower in it. The ceremony area is also stunning, I love it. You did a great job with everything. Those are amazing centerpieces. Did you bring those or were they an option?

I voted for number 1. I like the design a lot and think its perfect for the beach.

Again, this is not as pretty as the necklace you posted, but I think its pretty cool eBay.ca: GENUINE ORANGE CAT'S EYE JEWELRY ROUND NECKLACE 16" (item 110191065481 end time 15-Nov-07 22:58:42 EST) This is cool as well eBay.ca: 3 Strand Beaded Necklace Burnt Orange Ceramic Hong Kong (item 260180722684 end time 16-Nov-07 13:17:46 EST) I think because they are so cheap it might be good to order them and then decide. Or just order a sample. Not sure if you need to have it be beads, but this would be cool on a silver chain eBay.ca: Precious 15ct Princess Cut Orange Sapphire Necklace (item 150181167493 end time 17-Nov-07 00:27:46 EST)
