I haven't made my mind up on Lydia to be honest. i really liked her at first but she sure whines a lot on showtime and CRIES a ton. I really adore Kevin and Casey. They both crack me up and I'm excited for them to move along in the house. That being said I hope their "off beat" clique wins HOH next week and puts the athletes up (minus Jeff). Chema needs to go this week. She's another whiner and nothing is ever good enough.

I'm a fan of the freaks lol I mean off beats. They're the coolest group IMO. i think that DJ older guy is going to be hilarious! Not too sure what to think about the natalie chick being that she lied and everything. i wonder how long she'll go saying she's 18 when she's really 24. All in all i loved last nights episode.

Holy smokes this is one FABULOUS contest! The extras and 2 wedding photographers by far are an amazing deal. Good luck to ALL bdw members who entered. I'm excited to see who is chosen tomorrow :0)

Yesssssssssssssss happy day it is since big Brother is on tonight. Gosh I love that show. Totally hooked and thankfully we got show time. I wonder if showtime after dark will be on tonight? Anyone know?

I didn't even know there was such a thing as "DW's for dummies" hah! Well to be honest, I think this site will be much more of value than that book. I'm guessing that it doesn't have near as much info as we have compiled throughout the years Welcome to BDW Katie. Enjoy your stay. Look forward to hearing about all your plans and your location choice in Mexico! Happy Planning!

On CBS they have Julie showing off this year's house. It looks pretty neat. IMHO the best big brother house thus far. I won't spoil anything here so go and watch it., but one spoiler I don't mind sharing is it looks like Julie's prego.

Welcome back Marie!! Everything looks beautiful I can't wait to see Stephanie's photos. Great to hear everything was perfect, it sure looked perfect. I wish I was at Akumal right now Congrats Mrs!

Hi Krystal! Welcome to BDW Cabo is a great choice for a DW. Be sure to check out the Cabo section, there will be tons of valuable information to help you plan your DW.

Hopefully you can find the answers to the questions you already have. Be sure to use the search feature on the forum as well looking in the specific threads for your location. There's a ton of info on this forum and the search tool will soon become your best friend . Look forward to hearing about all your plans for your DW. to BDW!

to the forum Nicole! Congrats on your engagement. With a little less than a year to go you've found the perfect place to help you plan the perfect DW.

yes! Web cams rock when they're over seas or TDY. I don't know how we lived without one for so long. It def helps seeing them. My Bf's DH is about to go overseas back to Iraq next week and i forget how hard it is. I'm really going to try and sleep over there and help her out with her three little ones.

"groomzilla" - lol. I haven't seen that term on this forum... ummm ever! it's usually the other way around. As for making a DW affordable and perfect, it's totally possible. We did it 2 years ago and there have been plenty of brides since then whom have been able to accomplish the same. I'm pretty sure there's even a budget template if you do a search for it. Best of luck planning your perfect wedding and to BDW :0)

Andi i just have to say this again; your slideshow was awesome!! Seriously it made me almost regret NOT choosing LC for my wedding. heh It was gorgeous. i can't wait to see your TTD photos!

Oh wow a double wedding, now that sounds like fun! And 80 guests is a huge turnout for a DW! Congrats and happy planning :0)

Wow Karla those look super nice! I'm sure your guests will be very impressed. And who wouldn't be excited receiving one of those in the mail?! Great job and thanks for sharing :0)

I don't think you could go wrong with any of those choices to be honest. They're all fabulous resorts with gorgeous settings for a wedding. Best of luck planning! I was in Dreams Punta Cana 3 weeks ago and it's a beautiful resort. be prepared for June though, it's super hot and HUMID! I would recommend a gazebo ceremony rather than their beach ceremony too. IMHO I didn't like their location where they set up beach weddings.

You look AMAZING! Beth did a beautiful job and I am positive your FH will be impressed. You have gorgeous eyes and it's obvious Beth knew how to play them up. Great work.

Great choice Chica Are you doing a beach wedding or Gazebo?

Welcome to BDW Steve. Not all AI's in PV charge extra for reception dinners or rehearsal dinners. I know the Riu chain didn't when i was planning my wedding I got to have both nights reserved for our wedding party and guests (aprox 55 people). We also used the Riu's WC which were great to work with in person but communication through email planning up to the big day was very minimal and sometimes frustrating. Are there a couple of Ai's you already had in mind?

Hey there Christa, welcome to BDW There are lots of threads for wedding day make up so I would recommend doing a search. My 2 cents on humidity and make up is definitely use a primer and get some powder make up to blot on as necessary throughout the day and night. Little oil absorber tissues don't hurt either to carry in your clutch.

Im a weekly girl but I so want to read this article from msn.

No, not in the forms of payment unless your a vendor. The best way to advance in BDW is by posting useful information in threads and creating helpful threads to help out your other fellow BDW members. Don't worry it won't take long, promise! btw to BDW

I LOOOOVE your photos. All the colors at LC are just beyond beautiful. You made one stunning bride and look so happy. Beth did a wonderful job on your photos. Congratulations!

Wonderful review Andrea I just had to chime in about the dinner you chose, that steak was delicious! And any bride that chooses the terrace at Dreams for their reception is in for a treat. It's such a gorgeous spot and it over looks the gazebo. SO I felt that it really tied in all your wedding events. Everything came together perfectly! Thank you for bringing me along to Punta Cana to photograph your wedding with TammyB :0) It was such a pleasure. You, your husband, family and friends were so much fun to hang out with. I will NEVER forget your beautiful wedding. Thanks again for all the wonderful memories.

Welcome to the forum Roovian! You are getting married the day of my Bday and in my favorite Mexican city! Welcome to BDW you'll love it and I'm sure you will LOVE PV! I have to second what Sandy said about Punta Mita it is gorgeous and def a breath taking spot in the area!
