Did any of you see the movie? I saw it already but I guess it turns out differently than the book so it's not totally spoiled for me. It's getting good!!! I'm on page 221!!

Weird... I didn't even know about this. Interesting. Well the Riu Jalisco was certainly on PV time

Congratulations Tammy, she is adorable and I love the name Zora. What does she think of the other dogs?

WOOHOO what a fabulous day to get married in Cabo. I'm such a dork I checked the weather out and it's going to be a gorgeous hot sunny day! Perfect for a wedding! Congratulations Courtney & Aaron!!! Enjoy it to the fullest!

Ugh I can't believe it.... it seems so CRAZY!!!

Your flowers were gorgeous (even my FH loved them... and he stays out of the wedding stuff!) I'm pretty sure we went with the Royal package, whatever the middle package is. Thanks for the comments on the photos, you're very sweet.

Yes they had a power point slide show presentation where you could chose from each layout. For flowers they said you could do any combinations you wanted. They're very accommodating from what i can remember. We didn't bring any decorations with us. We weren't really into decorating a theme or anything. We're weird I guess.

How did i not see this yesterday!! Beautiful work as always form Juan Carlos. I looove your thank you photo. It's PERFECT! You looked gorgeous in the B&W from the TTD shoot, can't wait to see the rest.

Those pictures really capture the beauty of LC and you of course!!! can't wait to see more. I love the one of you and your Dad, awe so cute. Also the ones with you and your bridal party turned out really nice!

OO LA LA! That looks really good on you. Perfect for a TTD session!

Today is our dear friend Edyta's birthday!! Happy Birthday girl, I miss seeing you around here.

Good luck with everything Jennette. I hope you have a spectacular day and cherish every second. I'm excited to see how everything turned out, although I know it will be beautiful! Congratulations Mrs V!!!!!

Good ol' joy of cooking That ice bath totally works... and it doesn't let them get that blue coloring around the yolk you sometimes see.

Quote: Originally Posted by Ava Wow, thanks everyone! Raeka, I viewed your pictures, and they're gorgeous! I will definitely have to pick your brain. I'm most concerned about bad reviews I've seen of the resort on trip advisor... Pick away I read alot of negative reviews before I went too. But I just thought you can't please everyone. For the most part i loved the resort. The grounds are very well taken care of and it's a beautiful resort. It's so big it's amazing they keep it up the way they do. All 55 of our guests were very impressed and I think they all said they would go back in a heart beat. Quote: Originally Posted by 2008bride Welcome and Happy Planning! I have been to the Riu Jaliso.

The only negative I can really say is that it's about a 1/2 hour from town and a $25 cab ride each way. That can add up if you like to do those things. But other than that it was a great time. Good Luck! Good point! A few of our guests took the bus into PV (it's only 10 pesos) and said it was a fun experience. Although it wasn't the experience for me, instead we took cabs. Be sure to negotiate the price of the cab BEFORE you get in other wise they can rip you off. It cost us $18 each trip which wasn't bad as long as you made a day out of it in PV. Buccerias is very close which has all the markets and shopping too. It's cheaper than PV as well, cabs are only $5 to get there.

Great choice with the Riu Jalisco as I got married there in October! Your family will love it there because it has so much to offer. Check out my slide show if you want, link is in my siggy. If you have any questions let me know. Welcome to the forum, happy planning :0)

Glenda you rock! I just read what you posted about 5 times and now I'm super lost as usual. Who the heck was in that casket? Do you think perhaps it's a character that has not been introduced yet? I always thought it was Ben... but now I'm baffled.

AHHH I saw the first post and I excitedly (is that a word?) moved further to the last post anticipating the link would be up... BUMMER! You're photos are going to rock! I'm excited!!

You did an amazing job with those books. Your Moms are going to LOVE them! Is your cover a photo or is it the cloth like fabric ones?

Glenda you are such an amazing woman. You not only have inspired me to be healthier these past few weeks with your tips but now you have just truly touched my heart by donating the winnings to the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association. To be honest I had heard very little of this painful afflication but with the web site provided I have learned more about what patients suffer through. I just want to give you a big "fat" hug G. You are such an inspiration to me and I heart you to pieces!

Hope you have an amazing anniversary celebration!!!

OMG Congrats Glenda! I'm so behind I know, I had an unfortunate emergency last week but I'm back now! Sorry Ann I never got in my final weight.

You are so lucky Tammy and these pups are so blessed to have you in their lives. She is super cute!!! I love her sweater. What does Morris think of Lady?
