WAIT - they forgot another critical piece!!!! You are TRULY a child of the 80's if you know the following commercial, IMO the best commercial of the decade. Sometimes I'll sing a line and only the cool 80's kids will know the words and chime in.... HINT - it features a very young Alfonso Ribero Remember this? YouTube - Who Broke My Window?

That's Charlie's Angels...lol Yeah they forgot some stuff....Punky and Cherry were like the coolest kids on tv for awhile there....and Silver Spoons...did they mention that?

I'm such an 80's kid too! I was in stitches reading this for the first time. They just hired someone at work born in 1985 - and I was like damn I was watching Jem or Thundercats and trading garbage pail kids cards when he was in diapers...lol

Have a great birthday Morgan

Good find. Pleasant Holidays often has these last minute kind of deals, really cheap to Oahu or PV/Mazatlan from the west coast. The accomodations are typically really basic but you can upgrade to a nicer place and still save hundreds of dollars. You can get on their free email list at the Pleasant Holidays site and they'll send these to you as they come up.

Mmmm ours was tres leches and it was so good and moist. We took some back to the hotel and tore it up the next morning!

Sounds like great deal!

Our first two get it started songs were "Night to Remember" by Shalamar and "Holiday" by Madonna. Michael Jackson never fails.

Wow I it looks like you all have/had this problem....I wish I could dump her like you did yours. I've come as close as I can - I don't invite her to our parties or house anymore. When she invites us over I totally ask if her daughter is up..lol...and if she invites us over late when I know she'll be asleep we don't go. She's totally not a true friend, kind of what I call a surface friend. I never have or never would tell her my personal business, it's just never felt right. Shoot I tell you guys way more than her....lol. We were thrown when she asked us to be the godparents. We're not model citizens but I think we are the most decent,stable people they know. Will and I joke that when we buy a house we better keep an extra room for our godchild because when she's old enough to see how screwed she is she'll come running!

The mother of our godchild is what I call an energy vampire. Being around her is so draining! We love our godchild so that's the only reason we still maintain this friendship with the mother - it's not the poor kid's fault she was born to weirdos. I met her at work years ago and for some reason we starting hanging out. She used to go from one bad relationship to another and was hard enough to deal with then, but now she is just stuck in the same bad relationship and is such a downer. She's a complainer and her vibe is almost sleep inducing sometimes. Her baby's daddy drinks like a sailor but at least he pays the bills, that's a step up for her. They asked us to be the godparents and while we hate being tied to them, we love the little girl so they roped us in. So when we announced our engagement she acted happy for us but I could so see the envy in her eyes. She's been trying to find someone to marry her for years and after she had her baby she just knew the guy would marry her. Well he didn't but at least he stuck around...so far. We invited them to the wedding and she said they had noone to watch the baby. We said it was no problem to bring her, then she said it was too expensive. I get that, whatever, didn't miss them at the wedding at all. The first contact after we get back was a phone call and all she said was "I was wondering when you were coming back". No how was the trip, how is Will, how was your wedding. Still, whatever. So we throw a b-day party for our godchild a few weeks ago since she is too lame to organize a trip to the store let alone plan a 2 year old's party. While everyone was at the pool, Will & I sneak inside for 2 minutes of us time. We're sitting on the couch talking and she comes inside like "Oh, there you are. I know you're newleyweds but you can't be all in here lovey-dovey, it's making me jealous". She laughed like it was a joke but it really wasn't. Anyway we took pictures of the party and she wanted me to email them, fine. Will says "Have you seen our wedding pictures yet?" And she says "No, send those to me too." I do and the other day I was checking my kodak account where you can see who opened what album when. This chick looked at the bday photos but didn't open the wedding album to see even one photo. Not a one! I look at BDW photo albums of people I don't even know because I'm happy for them and hey - I'm a regular person. Other people's joy doesn't cause me pain. She is too miserable to be happy for us. Too miserable to even fake it. Our poor godchild - we try to take her as much as possible so she can see what it's like to be in a joyful house. Sorry this got really long...any miserable energy vampires in your life?

We did the hand blessing and sand ceremony. Ours was very simple and symbolic though, we used natural sand from the beach our wedding was on and goblets:

Everyone here is more than willing to help )

Arrgh...that happens to me too when I'm on my work computer. It's a pita, but you can see them by right clicking the red x, going to properties, and pasting that address in your browser. Hope that helps )

Wow I missed that one......well congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs.!!!!

Does that make sense It makes sense. I still love #2...hehehe....but it has to feel right to you. The dress I ended up with had a corset back which was my feeling of "I'm getting married". The other few I tried on didn't have the corset and I felt I could have just worn them to a fancy party, not necessarily my wedding. You'll make the right choice )

I swear getting the bm dresses was more difficult than my wedding gown. I originally chose this one but bm's didn't order in time and David's came through in the end. Jasmine also makes some flattering styles in sizes 4-28 so check into that too: Jasmine Bridal
