I agree, the folksy stuff was laughable because it seemed disingenuous. Maybe she winks a lot in real life so I won't fault her for the excessive winking. The moderator did a great job imo, but I think that if there wasn't the controversy of her allegiance before the debate, that she may have been tougher on Palin. She allowed Palin to evade questions and speak about what she wanted to say rather than the topic at hand. Someone should have called her out, Biden played nice so he didn't do it either like I wish he would have.

And might I add that it isn't the end of the world if your guests don't all stay at the same resort. They'll still be at the wedding which is the point of the trip

I didn't follow this case so I can't really say...but of course if he really was guilty then justice was served. If he wasn't guilty of this I don't think it's some sort of fair exchange for what he was aqcuitted of 13 years ago. Side note - the Goldman's pimping out that book really irks me!

I still say so what! If guests are tacky enough to come up to a bride at her wedding and try to get her worked up about what her mom is wearing...well that's their malfunction and just another way of detracting from the bride. To each their own when it's their party, but they can't go applying their social standards to other people's weddings and then throwing them in the bride's face, at the wedding no less! If I had those kind of guests I would have told them that they need to be sipping a cocktail and watching the tropical sunset. It's a celebration for goodness sake! I bet none of this will matter because it would take a pretty miserable guest to be in paradise and not chill out and enjoy things. Harty, rock the skull flip flops! It's your day

I actually didn't think it was too boring, and I'm usually not into this stuff hardcore. It was entertaining (and at some parts it was annoying) but it kept our interest for the 90 minutes. BTW Jaime or anyone, what is Palin bingo about? I overheard someone else mention it.

Woohoo Yari! You made a gorgous bride, I love the dress and hair! Congrats to you and Brian!!!

Wow, take some time away from the wedding planning and be with your family. You'll make the right decisions from there. Our thoughts are with you

Smart-ass!! LOL It's almost time guys, we should have more to talk about in a few hours

I'm gonna watch anyway though. It's not weird, I get the same way sometimes. Even if I don't like someone it bothers me to see them defeated...you should see when I watch sports! I want my team to win but I always feel a little bad for the losers..well almost always

I've been looking forward to this all week

Our NYC girls are hot! Great pics guys, and Kathy your decor was too cute! Looks like fun

IMO that's awesome! A lot of people get engaged on vacations, I think it's romantic And I agree with Rachel, it doesn't matter and it won't matter to you down the line either. If the girl is bothered by it happening during your wedding week that's a little self centered of her...well I think so anyway. Who cares when it happens, a proposal is a proposal. Good for them! Now stop overthinking it!! LOL

I think I can help with this! Let me dig in the archives and get back to you

So pretty, you guys look great! We want more!!

Heck yeah, I totally did. I have no good excuses either! I probably still fit in my wedding dress but only because it has a lace up corset back that gives a little Time to get it together!!

What a bummer!

Oh no, I didn't think you sounded nasty at all! This topic comes up often and I just hate to see people get so wrapped up in what they think they should do so that's my 2 cents on it. I'm glad your mother will be at your wedding, especially after almost losing her...I can't even imagine going through that! Now that's perspective!

I don't really see it as a big deal. Nobody will mistake her for the bride and a DW is non-traditional in itself, so don't feel the need to apply tradition when it comes to your mom and what she wants to wear. It sounds like you don't think it is a big deal either, but you may be concerned that 'people' will talk or say it is not right. We get overwhelmed with wedding things so I understand the question, but imho this doesn't matter. Many brides have mothers who are dead or not involved in their lives...if their mothers made it to their weddings I bet they wouldn't care what color outfit they put on. Just a thought

That looks like lots of fun! Thanks for sharing

Omg Donnie is brutally hot. Great pics, I think most of us are jealous

I did mine through Citibank. I got in at a good time, the rate is locked at 2%

Tami that is absolutely beautiful!! And a pool too? The yard is amazing. I love it!!!!

Don't do it because you think you are supposed to, but if you want to do it go for it and make it meaningful. And like Alyssa said it doesn't have to be about the $$

We went from PV to Jamaica
