Love them! You were a beautiful bride and everything looked just lovely. Random observation - I like the way your wedding party lined up perpindicular to you rather than the traditional way. Thanks for sharing )

Cute! Love the pink parasol )

Great review! We stayed at Dreams and had our WD at Barcelona Tapas too...I can't say enough good things about that place either! Glad to see another BDWer had an event there. Congrats!

I put this in another post somewhere, but I played a song I adore and used it for everyone walking down the aisle. It was 5 minutes 32 seconds in length, and the last note played as I took my final step and stopped next to Will. The timing couldn't have been better if I planned it that way...lol I didn't use an ipod, I made cd's. I had one cd with 2 tracks on it - one to walk in and one to play at the moment we kissed. It made it easier and lessened the chance of a mix-up. (BTW - they were spot on with the kiss song!) If you're set on those 2 songs what about getting someone to mix them for you, so that maybe half of the first one plays and then blends into yours. Do you know any DJ's or people with music software? That way there are no akward silent moments or no stopping one song and starting another. That would bother me too. Also if you go with the trio I'm sure they will do their best to accomodate you if it is a song they already know. Hope that helps )

I second that...and am sorry you have to deal with this (

HA! Maybe that's why she is looking the other way! Note to him - wear baggy pants...rofl!!

Love love love your pictures! It may be the first Dreams PV wedding I've seen? Your dress and brown and white color scheme were both really pretty. Thanks for sharing

HEARSAY: What toddlers do when anyone mutters a dirty word. IMPREGNABLE: A woman whose memory of labor is still vivid. INDEPENDENT: How we want our children to be as long as they do everything we say. LOOK OUT!: What it's too late for your child to do by the time you scream it.

WHOOPS : An exclamation that translates roughly into "get a sponge."

Wow there are soooooo many, congrats to all the nominees )

They came out really nice!

Congrats everyone )

That's disgusting. I'm glad Cain looked into it. My myspace is under a fake name and set to private with the beach as my profile pic. At least that way anyone looking at my page where the real pics are (who isn't a hacker of some sort) is someone I know. It sucks to go that far but people aren't all good (

It's definitely creepy. I honestly try not to post too many identifiable pictures anywhere online (that's why my avatar pics are usually pretty small...lol) Once I read a post here where someone mentioned they had someone else's wedding picture saved because they liked their hair or dress or something like that. It opened my eyes to the issue because people do put their children's pics/their BD photos online. Not that I distrust anyone specifically here but the world is nutty and who knows what people do in real life outside of forums/myspace/etc. I shudder to think! Tammy I totally know what a watermark is now...I just never knew the name. Thanks )

Maybe a scarf or light wrap of some sort?

You were so creative and good at this sort of DIY stuff that I'm struggling with now. God, I wish you were here to help me. I've been keeping myself so crazy busy (new job, new house, wedding, reunion, etc etc etc), so I don't have to think of how much I miss you. But at the most random moments, I miss you so much I can't stand it. I love you, Lizz P.S. Thanks BDW forum for having this thread, so I can get this all out and cry for the first time in weeks. Okay that totally just made me cry because my dad used to drag me to Home Depot for his random projects and I can't imagine going into a home depot again after he dies. Poor thing, it's supposed to get easier but it never goes away completely. I'm glad you got to get it out

That sounds good to me. Ours was a package so I'm not sure what part of it was airfare but we also flew on Air Jamaica. It's cool because they play reggae when you board the plane. Oooh, and you get free champagne. We had an overnight flight so we were served champagne with our omlettes in the morning...lol

I've not heard of wearing two. I'm generally opposed to the idea of hiking up my dress and taking things off for the crowd so I didn't wear one. I do my stripteases in private

I didn't get them because it seemed like something more for a winter wedding and ours was in a place that's warm day and night. Hopefully someone who got them can give you useful info )

LOVE the colors & design of the 2nd and 3rd ones....wow!
