When we get back we are going to send out announcements to everyone else with a pic from the wedding. I know some of my parents friends will be ticked, but my wedding isn't about them. Amen to all of that! Don't worry about etiquette, we cut all bonds to tradition when we chose to have a DW. Anything goes and people should be happy for you, not criticizing how many mailings you sent them as opposed to people that are actually going

Too funny! I thought you were going to say they threw you a surprise shower, and I was thinking "poor Jen, that's awful"! Haha, that's a cute basket

I'm super late but I think premarital counseling is something you will do and never forget. I was with FI for 8 years when we did ours and we still learned new things, it surprised the hell out of us! Made us laugh, made us cry. I wrote more about it in the Catholic counseling thread but basically it is a beautiful thing to learn that after so many years you can still grow as a couple. We both were apprehensive because we aren't religious (but spiritual) but the place we went was very liberal so there was no down-talk or holier-than-thou stuff going on. Find a place you like and do it..then let us know what you think

I'd like to see Ana Lucia back, but I really think it's Michael. Of course they can raise anyone from the dead and make it make sense in a weird LOST kind of way, but Michael makes sense. Maybe it won't be him because it makes sense? But he was cool with the others for awhile, Ben "allowed" him to leave - and that wasn't for nothing, Ben doesn't make uncalculated moves. He could have sent him to the boat, you know? As for where Walt is, who knows.

$5000 or less if there are only 10 people and travel is not included, many resorts will do it free so that leaves most of that $$ for the other stuff.

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan Trash that sucker! I feel the same way. Once I have the pictures, I want to get rid of the dress just like I would any other piece of clothing. I'm just not sentimental about anything but pictures. I'm sure you can some up with a wild way to TTD. Have you thought of what you'd want to do? Not specifically but I recently came across my dress in the back of the closet and I want to get rid of it, but I feel I haven't got enough use out of it to toss it. So if I do a TTD I'll be comfortable getting rid of it!

Very cool Morgan! It gives me hope that it's never too late to do a TTD...my dress still fits and I'd love to trash it so I can throw it out guilt-free...haha

Quote: Originally Posted by Yari Anytime. I'm a Scorpio...need I say more? Nope, making dinner for my FI and future step-daughter. Then we are going to have family night and play WII. Cupcake or slice of cake? slice of cake!

Quote: Originally Posted by dragonfly Whoa you go girl:) Lucky, lucky man!!!! I am looking forward to seeing Horton hears a whoo with the kids. Sex in the morning, afternoon, or night? Or middle of the night quickies? Oops...all of the above! Why not?

Quote: Originally Posted by Yari At least 5. When he is in town. What movie are you looking forward to seeing? That's what I'm talking about Yari! I want to see that BC movie...10,000 BC I think? Q: Since it's Friday, any date night plans?

Quote: Originally Posted by LadyP Q what is the worse trip you have ever been on?

Hawaii was awesome, but I explored it alone because the girls were trolls. They wanted to stay in the room and watch Oprah because it was hot outside...wtf? Thank God I had family there! Q: Are you cooking dinner tonight?

Becks those are the best passport invites ever! I wish I had something to make them for...haha I'm saving them just in case Thanks for sharing!

Hmm...I'm not sure if there are other cruise brides right now? Please post your ideas & info if you don't mind/have time. We have cruise sections but they are fairly new...if you build them up I bet more cruise brides will come...haha Happy planning

Michael, that's his name. I don't know if it's too obvious but I wish they would say what happened to him already! I would love for it to be Mr. Echo because his character was one of my favorites until he died. I'm not a big Boone fan so I would rather it be Ana Lucia than Boone if someone is coming back from the dead

Holy shit Rachel, your wedding is almost here!!!!

What fun, I'm jealous!! What to do besides go to LC....like Lindsay said, Vallarta Adventures has some great tours so if you have time I would take one of those. If you like snorkeling do the Marietas Islands tour - they take you out to the islands where you can snorkle or kayak, then to a deserted beach (literally nothing there) to hang out. My must-sees when I'm there - I always suggest eating at Barcelona Tapas because the food & views are spectacular, try to go for dinner and catch the sunset....ahhh The Zoo Bar if you like loud music/dancing/drinking...lots of fun Flea Market on the Rio Cuale just because it's fun & there are bargains And make sure to walk along the malecon at night, it's gorgeous with the moon shining...can I come with? Have fun

I'm pretty sure we sent out our std's in late September/early October for the June wedding.
