I haven't made one in years...anyone have a good recipe?

I don't think you're crazy..lol My site included a WC and since it was so remote we needed one, but if you have a good relationship with your vendors and you've thought of everything you may not need one. The WC does what you already did, except is at your location and may personally know vendors. We probably wouldn't want to pay the extra fee if we didn't have to, and we are also laid back so if there were a snag or two it wouldn't bother us.

We're LC brides...haha Have fun and let us know what you think )

But of course: Destination Wedding Planner for Puerto Vallarta Beach Weddings You can even get an instant quote with the "wedding planner" feature

You aren't naive Lizz, I've never done it either. Don't know that I ever will if I need drugs to get through it...haha Good luck!

I also got several cute pieces, one gorgeous white number for the wedding night, and in Mexico my BMs gave me more lingerie at my bach. party. With all that, I didn't wear any on my wedding night either! We had too much fun and got back to the hotel around 5 a.m. I thought about going to change but it would have been a mood killer (stop - I have an outfit for this! LOL) ...so I just went with the flow and ended up au natural rather quickly anyway. I did wear some of the pieces at other times during the honeymoon when I planned ahead, but I think we're a little too spontaneous for lingerie

Ewww Sarah what a hassle. I hope there aren't any snags or extra charges when you get down there I am also super excited for your LC wedding!

It's just a pain in the ass situation. You've got the right attitude but it still hurts and you will learn soooo much about people as the months go by. Best wishes

Love the dress, and you look great in it!!!

It isn't the theft/violence that deters me (I think as a nation Jamaica has more violence) so much as the increasing number of reviews I read of travelers falling ill and the hospital horror stories I've heard. People get ill all over the world, I know. I don't know if it happens more in the DR, or if people write about it more when it happens there but I don't read nearly as many things citing illness outbreaks in other Caribbean/Latin America hotspots.

Am I the only one thinking a sweatsuit in Mexico in June sounds miserable? Cute idea though

Great pics, you were beautiful! How precious your son is playing with the sand toys...awesome idea to keep him happy!

Anny those are whimsical and elegant all in one! Love them! Your mom is throwing the shower? What fun!!

Mija!!! These were like the most anticipated pics ever for me and you were as stunning as I thought you would be. Love the group shots and the kids too...so cute! And the starfish looks great in your beautiful bouquet. I'm glad you got the perfect wedding you deserve )

Thanks Jennifer...that was explained well and makes total sense )

Sounds great Quote: Originally Posted by host i know...this is the first time ordering. i am a little scared but they got good reviews so we will see...if it is just ok it was only $150 and i have spent alot more than that for a bad meal on v-day so it wont be the end of the world. IMO $150 is reasonable for what you get, even if it isn't the best ever...I'll be waiting for your review

You understimate your wit...you're damn funny girl! (but hell yeah Maria, Jason, & Melissa are comedy too!)

I AM OFFICIALLY CHALLENGING DREA, JAMY AND CHRISTA ON THE TITLE OF 'KEG STAND CHAMPION'!!!! Goddamn it, I didn't build my tolerance for drinking to lose that title right about now!!! Hahahaha!!!! Okay it's on!!! Would you believe me if I said I've never done a keg stand? LOL But I still accept my award as a beer drinker. I've seen it done and it looks easy....I can chug the hell out of some beer so it's just a little more work Anytime amigas!

Guess you have to be there to know, let's hope that weirdo doesn't chose LC

You'll need a Canadian (or other non-American) for this. Julie got married there, she may be able to help

Then i made my mom watch it when she flew out to see me. Although, I worry Las Caletas would have been a total buzz kill (are we allowed to joke about that?) LOL! What do you say Ann, was it a total buzz kill or what? That damn party boat and it's buzz killing properties!

That's a good sized earthquake, I'm glad all seems to be well.

You guys are killing me...all so true!

I went to high school with a girl who had long thick black hair with lots of strands of gray...she told people she had an old soul and we thought she was cool! So it's not a bad thing...lol I've had one gray hair for years but my hair is light so you can't tell unless you inspect my scalp. My mom says they grow more if you pluck them so stick to the die

Aww thanks Jason...that made me misty eyed...love you guys!! Rachelle I get the smilies from the myspace generation....and I talk too much there too

ROFL! That made me laugh out loud too! And so did the flying cat
