Wow, I'm blown away by all your creations! You have been one busy girl. I really adore your table placings hee hee. Good luck I hope your day is everything you've ever wanted and more!

Rachel your dress is so much prettier in person! Plus you made such a lovely bride. Angel, that model looks like she was on the show lost. haha That dress is much more flattering once again on a normal girl as opposed to a model.

Awe you look like a princess Jaq. SO pretty!!! Reminds me of Cinderella, now you just need glass slipper to be complete

Erica Happy belated wedding day!!! I know I'm a little late because I was out of town but I did think about you on Sunday and send some positive vibes for your big special day. I'm sure it was gorgeous with all the planning you did , it had to be! Congratulations sweetie!

You did such a lovely job Tammi. You should be very proud of yourself. I love it!

No we didn't get to go to the disco that night because it was closed But we had fun in the bar beside the pool. We rented the space out for the evening with music and a bartender. It was my favorite part of the evening... we danced and drank. Lost of fun!

Thank you ladies. Yes time sure has flown by. I keep thinking back to the day one year ago today... it was such a dream come true. Marriage is great, it's tough at times but it's really wonderful at times too. Quote: Originally Posted by Maura Happy Anniversary Mel & Jared! Can you believe it's been a whole year since your DW?!

Nope I'm in disbelief it came so quickly! I have been keeping an eye on Yari's ticker counting down with her LOL Awe I feel special that you remembered me as one of your "firsts" Quote: Originally Posted by SoontobeMrsE Wow Mel!

I remember crying the first time I saw your slideshow it was amazing! (Boy am I a big sap today or what) Congratulations to you and Jared. Have an awesome anniversary! awww thanks. That gave me a good idea, i should go take a look at my slideshow. I just hope i don't cry.... Before too long you'll be at the Riu celebrating your special day!

Yeah that's what I thought but I didn't want to fight with them about it because I really didn't want him in the first place.

I want to switch out the photographer for a DJ, and while I know they will do it for smaller items, I'm wondering if they shot you down on this one. Another question: Did they have like a hors devoures (no idea how you spell that) option? For example, to serve appetizers on the beach after the wedding? (We get married at 1, so trying to fill up the day!). Thank you! NO actually I asked them to cancel to photography package because I was brining in my own photographer BUT he still made an appearance for some reason. It really ticked me off because he was getting in the way of my photographer that I paid when I requested we didn't need his services. I didn't even see his photos so I really don't know why he was there. To answer your question though, no, they would not swap us out on that package. But you can always try.... We never asked about appetizers either. Our ceremony was at 4 so after we did photos then hopped over to the Brazilian restaurant and ate dinner around 6. I forget what time the restaurant along the beach opens because in that case they may be able to cater something for you free of charge. The bar is open for sure I know by the beach. I think they serve lunch until 4 so your guests could go grab a snack if they wanted to for sure!

It's here, it's here! I hope it is everything you ever dreamed of and more! Congrats Yari!!!

OK hold up - i thought this wacko was having money problems in the first place hence why it was such an issue for her to be there on your special day. RED FLAGS - why would someone who doesn't particular like you anymore want to stay at the same resort that your wedding is going to be at! PSYCHO!@ OMG I'm in total disbelief. YOU do not deserve to be dealing with this 5 days prior to your wedding. Someone needs to back off and cancel her trip. That's just ridiculous. I hope someone puts her in her place. And she wouldn't DARE mess with anything.

Great ideas here. All you girls are doing well and I wish you all the best of luck given the crappy circumstances with the economy.

Lisa, Luke's room turned out to be super cute! I like that big "L" and the turtles everywhere :0) What a lucky little boy to have such a cool room!

It is going to be such a beautiful day Erica. I am so excited for you and your special day is right around the corner. I remember when you first joined BDW, you've been a real sweet heart from day 1 and it feels like one of our sisters is going off about to get married. I cant wait to see your photos and hear all about it. Good luck sweetie

You look adorable yari in that dress. Looks like a beautiful ceremony. I'm getting excited for your magical day at LC!

Mm I see all that wine and I want some LOL Glad you had fun weekend with your girls!

5 pounds LISA WAY TO GO! That's such a great achievement. Keep it up girls! Anyone using the wii fit to help them out?

Nice work Morgan! Now what are you going to do with $163?

What a great place, i think every girl dreams of her wedding when she was little none the less at Disney. Too cool! Have you picked a resort to accommodate you and all your guests? Good luck with planning. I know it's a little overwhelming but it will be worth it in the end!

It works! Thanks Tammy. I can see my PMs and buy lottery tickets. Super!

I don't have PMs either I just noticed! ACK!!! Nothing just how many unread posts since my last visit.

Yeah I tried the lotto earlier today too and couldn't get in. I thought Tammy may have cut me off LOL nice to hear I'm not alone... I even did a search on the lotto to see if it excluded senior members now. Hmm baffling.

is that the dreams resort with dolphins in the pool?

happy birthday girl, don't work too hard :0)

Hey, I have an O that I'll post later. I may have an N I forget now.
