Uggh...maybe because this is the one thing she is truly interested in she is going hard core with it, you know? She may be thinking that she's let you do your thing and the one suggestion she has you are ignoring. I do think it stinks and that you have been very understanding as far as her lack of involvement so far. It's hard when it's your mom because you can't tee off on her like you would a BM. Even still I wouldn't let her change your vision. Hopefully she will understand before the wedding, but at the very worst, I bet once you get down there she will think your decisions turned out lovely. BTW Good Lord, your wedding is almost here! How did that happen? LOL

Welcome, Justine! Take some time to search the PV section as there is lots of info on venues and coordinators. Those of us who got married at Las Caletas in PV would suggest it for it's beauty and affordability, but there are many wonderful options. Good luck

I think it still starts with a 3...I'll check later and report back

Aww how exciting!! Your bro will come around. Here's to new love and a fresh start for mom! Have fun

That makes me so sick! Sorry for your family, that's very scary. Just awful

Spend your big money on the things you have to do through them, it adds up!

Don't do it! That's ridiculous, the nerve of them! LOL Like Lizz said I bet if you speak loudly you won't have a problem. Or for a fraction of that you could bring your own microphone although the way these resorts are they may charge you to use your own! Microphone, wireless microphone, wireless mics, wireless microphone systems, karoake microphones

LOL Amy I recognize him from the Pepe ads, he is a cutie! Nice detective work

Wow you really did a great job and I love your color scheme, just beautiful!

The Air I Breathe by Teena Marie...it was a perfect fit for us YouTube - Teena Marie - The Air I Breathe Somewhere across the galaxies Your hand reached out to shelter me Now no reasons have I more to weep For love was everything you touched And wanting to give back as much Silence now is golden when you sleep You know you are my baby and deep inside your dreams Yes I'd like to fly - never more to cry You're the greatest joy I've ever known within my life You're the air I breathe You're the songs I sing You're the rain that makes the roses grow The earth beneath my feet The wind and waving wheat You're the air I breathe so now you know That I can't live without you baby Baby I would die without your love Morning brings a brand new song, playing for you all along Melody and lyric you must know That somewhere cross the galaxies Was planned a greater destiny A time to reap and then a time to sow You know you are my passion and deep inside of you Yes I'd like to fly - never more to cry You are the greatest joy I've ever known within my life You're the air I breathe You're the songs I sing You're the rain that makes the roses grow The earth beneath my feet The wind and waving wheat You're the air I breathe so now you know That I can't live without you baby Baby I would die without your love Like autumn changes leaves to green Like winter calls to spring Like roses need the rain to grow And just like rivers flow I will always love you You are the very air I breathe My life, my love, my heaven and my all And no one could ever change what God intended I wished upon a star and here you are And I wouldn't last a day without you Just like autumn changes leaves to green You're my winter, summer, fall and spring Everything I am The air I breathe As we kissed & for the recession they played Golden Time of Day, the sun was setting as the song played, it was just magical YouTube - Maze Feat. Frankie Beverley - Golden Time Of Day There's a time of the day when the sun is going down That's the golden time of day It's a time that the sun turns a gold all around That's the golden time of day At the end of the day when the wind is soft and warm Don't it make the flowers sway When the sun settles down and it takes a lovely form That's the golden time of day People let me tell you There's a time in your life when you find who you are That's the golden time of day In your mind you will find you're a bright shining star Ooh that's the golden time of day When you feel deep inside all the love your looking for Don't it make you feel okay Like the time of the day when the sun is going down That's the golden time of day That's the golden time of day That's the golden time of day Shining, can't you see it shining, ooh ooh ooh ooh Shining, can't you see it shining, ooh ooh ooh ooh

¡Felicidades! Have fun

Wedding dress - $3000 Shoes - $500 Getting karate kicked by your DH on your wedding night - priceless WOW!!!! That's bizarre!

Gorgeous!!! Nice to see another beautiful JA wedding at a different location. You had a lot of guests!

Search the PV section, there have been lots of discussions on restaurants for rehearsal or welcome dinners. I always suggest Barcelona Tapas and have talked about it extensively in other threads

Check you out, hot tamale! How beautiful everything was...more more more

Well first of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I know what you mean, I had a birthday party every year I lived at home, DH had very few bday parties/gifts. He acknowleges mine but isn't used to the ra-ra...lol Maybe he didn't forget, the night isn't over!

Christa I'll keep you posted. If I can find a ss office that doesn't have half of L.A. county in line I'll get it done sooner than later!

That's cool! (the Melissa Manchester, not the balls...lol) Although the balls story is hilarious! Was he not wearing drawers? Haha DH used to work at Starbuck's when we first got together. I was shopping next door at the Gap and he called me and said Queen Latifah was in the store drinking coffee. I was in the dressing room so I didn't go see her but it was funny because that was his 1st celeb sighting so he was super excited (and he said she was very nice btw)

Ooooh...if you count Jason Kidd as famous I totally know him. He is a family friend, my dad was his youth soccer coach. We don't see the family much anymore since his dad died. My brother ran into JK in Vegas and he was like "get your dad on the phone" so he called my dad, it was cute

Dang it...they'll just have to put it on my tab because my year is up in a little over a month and I know I won't get to that!

Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel Jamie- you have to mail in your driver's license? On my social security forms it said just a certified copy of the marriage license? That's weird- is that a state thing because I thought SS was a federal thing? Anyways- I waited for what felt like 2 hours when I went. Biggest PIA. Now I have 2 names because I haven't converted everything over. I just got my new driver's license and I forget to sign papers in my NEW name. Argh- the pain us women always have to go through. Well if you go in to the office you have to prove identity, so the guy on the phone said I'd have to prove it by mail too. He was a troll though so I'm going to call like 2 more times and see what other reps say...lol
