I need some feedback from my fellow BDW pals. I don’t know what to order for my photo package? I have a $350 credit to use and I already got the digital negatives so I can print whatever I want. Did anyone get one of their wedding photos mounted? How do you display your wedding photos in your home? Looking for some ideas, brain storming I guess.

PS I loved your Wedding Slideshow i was in tears it is beautiful. awe thanks. I love it too. i find myself humming that music sometimes LOL Wow, that certainly have increased their rates. geesh.

I have had my heart set on the Gazebo but do not want to go all that way and lose the destination feel if you know what i mean. I don't know if you ladies know that the beach location is the same for both Riu's. It's actually almost between the 2 resorts, unless they changed the beach venue since I was there. It's very windy so be prepared! Quote: Originally Posted by sam726 Maybe you can come and visit us at the Riu Jalisco, unfortunately we do not have this privilege to visit Riu Vallarta. Im soooooo excited now just sorting out the last few details....have just booked my beauty treatments hair/makeup/nails etc with the salon within the Riu Jalisco. Just really need to sort my reception party out....have emailed Erica the Wedding Coordinator a couple of times but haven't yet received a reply. If you go through the back (walk along the beach) you can get on th Vallarta property and use all their vicinities. We did this several times and even went through the front without a problem. just act like you belong there. I absolutely loved that salon. The smell was so relaxing. And the treatments are heavenly. DH loved the exfoliation(in our wedding package) so much we booked massages and wraps! They are horrible with e-mails just wait until you get there, they're very accommodating in person.

I was on my way to work this morning and remembered today is Heidi's special day. good luck Heidi. Can't wait to hear from you and see your photos.

NO problem, glad i could possibly help you out. Thanks Maria for the tips I've been looking for so long now I just need to buy one. You have so many great sites all the time. I wish i could import your favorites

Well we always talked about going to the Disco at the Vallarta but never made it. I think it was open though on a Wednesday because some of our wedding party ended up there. AH i can't remember. Doh!

I've been looking at this one for a while.... RefurbDepot.com - Product Details

I think quite a few of my guests really needed that and used it without getting lost.

Hmmm oh gosh I can't remember like 8 until 1 am?

Oh good I keep checking this thread hoping he will call and finally!!! is he going to be in trouble with work for missing his meeting? I'm proud of you for staying calm, I think I would have been pissed and made that known.

You have to go Ann! We had such a romantic night there and we explored all the paths and I saw firefly's!

So 21 more days until we get a new lost episode. Can you tell I'm excited?!

WOOHOO me and DH just finished the easy level for guitar hero. We were both waaay to excited Now we got to figure out this smash brothers game... too many options

How cool is that?! (and yes, I am a dork!) Awwwe Ann I'm the same way!! I can't wait to take our family back to PV and we would definitely be going to LC. I secretly wish i got married there instead of the Riu. That place seriously is magical, I just can't describe what an amazing time we had there that night. A high light of our wedding week for sure!

I love seeing LC photos, that place is heavenly.

Well I'm sure he's OK Yari. I can understand why you're worried sick though because this doesn't sound like him at all. Hopefully you're right and he's passed out.

Good news Kash! I was actually thinking the same thing earlier this week about quitting but my buddy encouraged me to keep going. Like I told Ann this morning the scale is starting to finally go my way, or should I say “weigh†So finally I feel as if I can celebrate and I also feel I can contribute something to this group. I was starting to really get down on myself and I was kind of worrying because I was a piggy last weekend. I’m not giving up yet, you’re stuck with me still ladies.

That's crappy! Sorry that you have to deal with this... gosh I hope they compensate you some how some way!

very original, got to love it!

OK just saw that it's on the 12th which is a Monday so the Disco is likely to be open

I am thinking of hiring the pool bar and stereo system for a private reception but it is well over our budget. Any suggestions please That's awesome, I wish i was going back I loved it there. Although it wouldn't be the same without all my family there. What day does your wedding fall on? If it's a Wednesday, the disco is not open. The disco is open every day other than a Wednesday. We rented the pool bar and speakers for 5 hours. It was my favorite part of the whole wedding - we all let lose and had a blast. I brought my laptop with us ( which I highly recommend NOT DOING) and hooked it up to the speakers. They had the proper hook ups and everything so an Ipod would work too. I think it's like $25 an hour fr the speaker rental and $50 per hour for the bartender? Everyone still wanted to party after the time was up but security said it needed to shut down which sucked because our wedding was on a Wednesday. BOO! So we all gathered up and went to the sports bar. i grabbed our own speakers and we partied there for the night. So if you can stand the smell in the disco I would give it a shot. No one really goes there except for a few guests so it would really be your group. Plus it's FREE!

Uh-oh That does sound terrible. That's alot to absorb too. Gosh I'm sorry to hear about your Mom. Hopefully you CAN help her with this. Please don't' assume the worst, be positive, she may still be able to be with you. I know it's easier said than done.

Ugh, I think I've given up on the Hills.. i want Laguna back

Shayne and her shoes... OMG! I think she goes final 2 by the way. Amanda and her "meeps" is so flippin' funny. I'm waiting for her to do it with him one on one LOL I think that Kelly girl, resembles Cameron Diaz, is nutso! What a FREAK! I really hope he gets t know Noelle the next few months, she seems very down to earth and sweet. I would love to smack that ugly grin off Robin's abnormal face. I really don't like her.

Got me too!! OMG I think I jumped about a foot off my seat.

Hey I'm late on this but I think you look fabulous in these pictures. What a lovely dress and beautiful girl inside the dress. Do you feel any better about the dress yet?
