~Melissa~

I loved your dress Lenita!! SO MUCH!!! But Chicago is a few miles from me. LOL Actually I'm ok with my dress, what am i saying?! I think you just looked so good in your dress and it was perfect for your romantic wedding!

Jamy - if you get ahold of this lady ask for more pics - I would hate for her to be a scam or fake. Because is it me or does that rate sound like a good deal?

Awesome! I'm glad you're happy with it melissa. You must be getting to the point of excitment now! I'm sure that whole day/night is going to be a good memorable one no matter what the speeches are like. How many toasts/speeches are you having?

ROFL that was so CUTE!! I love it. thanks for sharing Tammy

Yep I am guilty of being a know it all especially when i have a couple of pops "They have an innate tendency toward know-it-allism, and if they get an idea while sizzled, they're more stubborn than a stain or a stone. "

Yep i think the photos will work really well. But the reception is a good idea too. I would pair people up but my Dad isn't too fond of my FSIL. He's already told me he has nothing nice to say to her so he's going to keep his mouth shut. Also Jared's Mom and Dad are divorced and had a very bitter feud ever since Jared was 8 or so. It was very bad at times and this is a big deal for them being able to stand in the same room. I think this passed year he called to apologize to her (long story he cheated and was a bad husband). sorry thread hijack. I must admit I am presently DRUNK! and it feels great! LOL

LOL Melissa, I know... at first when I emailed Jared about the "document" he was thinking there was somethign i wasn't telling him. Silly me with these acronyms. Good thing it wasn't one of those letters! That would be horrible!

Me and my FH, Jared, have already set aside a budget strictly for spa treatments and massages. We aren't going hog wild on all the little things (as hard as that is for me). We would rather treat ourselves on our honeymoon to lucious treatments. Yep I like to be spoiled and pampered. bring it on!!! hehehe I stumbled across this website today If anyone goes before me please let me know how it goes mexicopricing

Yep. I am addicted to craigslist. I search it every day. Somehow I found this post that gave this ladies info. I went to her web site and checked it out. I already have my photographer but I thought for those ladies that don't. The price isn't too bad and the quality looks nice. **Puerto Vallarta WEDDING SHOOTS**$725-$1500**ALL INCLUSIVE**WINTER DISCOUNTS!! **

Great find Jess I never knew caffine made the skin oily! Yikes!! I love coffee.... but overall those are realy good tips. I'll have to copy this and save it. THANKS!!

Welcome Jolene. I too am a Riu bride but getting marries in Puerto vallarta. Glad you found the forum

I like that one Kay. i'll def have to check out JCrew

Have any of you heard about this? My friends did a photo scanvenger hunt earlier in 2006. IT WAS WAY TOO LONG but fun for the most part. We had to try and find places or things and have our picture taken with them in an allotted amount of time. We did in in 1 day and it was very exhausting. To the point: I think I may try to organize this as a fun activity for my guests as they are in mexico and have a nice prize for the winners. Any ideas on what I could use in the area or at the resort for photo must haves? I was thinking 1 photo with a sunset(easy but it would be a ncie photo), stanger with a mullet and maybe a pic of each group with a mexican flag in the background. I think it would be cool to get the pics developed at the end and make a scrap book! Any other pointers? or better yet has anyone done this before??

I reeeeaally need some help in this department ladies. I have my cousin comming in this weekend and my MOH is comming with as well to go dress hunting. This is our ONLY weekend to find something. ACK!!! I wanted to take a peak inside that big ass mall we have here in Edmonton. I was thinking Fairweather or le Chateau? Do any of you have any ideas on where us girls could find some cute dresses in the outlets?

I like and it's not a bad price either ($9.99 for the set!) Awesome!

On the bright side... YOUR WEDDING IS ONLY 12 DAYS AWAY!! LOL I know I shouldn't have laughed when I read his speech but I did. hehe It's simple and says pretty much what you asked him to say. he could have lengthened it a bit but he instead he made it short and sweet. LOL Maybe ask him to write answers to some questions you come up with. My suggestions are like something more about how we felt when he first met you? (hopefully good), a funny memory (? ), the best piece of advice about marriage. Maybe he just needs a little assistance. My questions were pretty lame but I'm sure you get the point.

Cool Glenda thanks for sharing

Ok since some of you ladies requested it I'll post on here and just leave out the contact information I'd like to take credit for the whole thing but it was my FH who wrote it. I just added the lil monogram at the bottom. Hope this helps some of you out.

Just was wondering what you ladies do to relax when you're getting to the breaking point? I've been so busy and stressed lately with training a new girl at work, packing my stuff, getting rid of furniture, dealing with my stupid FSIL, and most of all wedding planning! My life is nuts dude! I've had a splitting head ache all friggin day and it won't go away no matter how much advil I've popped. Decided to have a bath and pour these salts in the bath that my FH got me. They are supposed to take away stress? Didn't really work... I guess it helped though. Any of you meditate? Perhaps I should bring out the pilates video.... I don't know but I do know most of you gals are stressed out as well. So I'm just wondering how do you deal with it all and not lose it?!

Hi Andrea, if you pm me your email i can send you an example of my save the date letter. I remember Christine had an excellent save the date letter too! If you need any help with magnets I can try and help . I helped Deb with hers and I've been quite the photoshop junkie lately

Welcome to the forum!

Wow, thanks for sharing! Your photographer is amaing!!!

The reason why I voted for the welcome dinner is because I think the mood will be more relaxed and at ease. The boat would be nice but I know I would get sea sick so I wouldn't want a pic of me puking off the side. LOL just kidding!
