Excelente! Beautiful couple and gorgeous pictures.

Goes with your garter! I like that it is unexpected!

Has anyone has laser hair removal done under their arms? I shave it, but it reappears same day... I don't want pictures of that especially for my wedding! I have done waxing before, but even after 6 months of waxing, I was frustrated with it. I would like it gone permanently! How long until you saw permanent results? Any reasons not to do it? Any feedback would be helpful

Awwwwww... how sweet of Martin... he planned... he gets points for the birthday surprise, the beautiful ring, the after pic... So happy for you sweetie Hey Court... I think I have only seen your siggy pic and maybe one other when you went dress shopping and we didn't reallly see you!

Jaime - you are back! Congrats on your engagement! I chose Dreams Cancun because, in the grand scheme of things, it's closer to us, yeah we are still far, I know. I am closer to the east coast than west, so we looked kinda on this side. I have been to Cancun and loved the turquoise water. I do think the hotel in Cabo looks amazing and all the wedding photos I have seen are just gorgeous. Since I have not been there, I really cannot compare the two. They both meet your requirements Happy planning!!!

Yes Loreta...you should be a wedding planner! I love, love, love every little detail... I have been over here raving about Sol's photography and telling my FI about all these little things you did ... I keep shouting out how in awe I am of your wedding - pretty sure he is not listening - he's playing a game on his computer. You have to do something with weddings now... please use your creative talents for the betterment (not sure if that is a word) of future DW brides weddings! Congratulations on your wedding once again!

Great to see you back! Congratulations! Don't keep us hanging for too long, ok?

Only because the BM dresses I have worn in the past were expensive and not something I would wear again. Well, I may be able to get the strapless, floor length, brown dress from my sister's wedding altered.

Hehe, worked for me as well.

Let's go dress shopping Court-ni-ni! I need to make a purchase by the end of this month Thanks for the flower advice ladies! I did look at the David's Bridal orange, but they didn't look that nice in person They had a nice white dress with green flowers - looking at patterned dresses, but it was one style and not very flattering for my MOH. Here are the links to the BM dresses that come in the cayenne I am going to go back and look at with my MOH. The colour doesn't look great on the screen, the underneath colour is different than the chiffon overlay, so it looks vibrant in person. These are also tea-length. The first one was the one I saw in person: Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 7544 | Iridescent chiffon v-neck dress with bias skirt and streamers at back. Available in floor length or extra length. Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 5523 | Iridescent chiffon knee length dress with mock wrap bodice and satin ribbon at waist. Available in knee length, floor length or extra length. Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 5541 | Iridescent chiffon knee length A-line maternity dress with satin ribbon at empire. Available in knee length, floor length or extra length. <br><br> Also available in Wtoo in Chiffon as sty Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 7525 | Iridescent chiffon knee length two-piece with wrapped bodice and satin ribbon at waist. Available in knee length, floor length or extra length. Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 7593 | Iridescent chiffon knee length halter dress with wrap waterfall skirt. Available in knee length, floor length or extra length.

I am so happy you did it! I am sure you will not regret your decision.

Great find Susan! I am so excited to get married there! The pictures are beautiful - wouldn't expect anything less from Sol! I really like the sepia coloured ones at the end. Hmmm.... remember Matt's post about standing outside the gazebo for best lighting and less intrusion? I think these came out great inside the gazebo. Wonder if they needed to use a flash? ~Knock on wood~ I want my reception out on the terrace. Hope I didn't just jinx myself for bad weather. Jill, I had seen that one once before, very nice as well.

Welcome back Katherine! Another Dreams bride here!

I wanted my bouquet to be mango callas, so I had sent Claudia a pic at some point and she responded: "The calla lilies bouquet picture you sent will be additional cost" She already told me we cannot bring in outside flower vendors. I had talked to a nice lady that Anny is using and her prices were cheaper and she had some great ideas. Oh well... As long as they get my colours right I will be happy - and if not, I'll get over it

There she is! B U E N O S D I A S M A R I A !!!

MikkiStreak has some great directions on how to make them in powerpoint. I have used them to do a couple for some ladies on the forum. Do a search for 'logo' and I you can find her response in a thread.

Have a safe trip to Cabo Kash & Dan! Hope you have wrapped everything up here and ready for your perfect wedding in Mexico!

Cool pics Christa! I like your new signature picture too!

Ay Edna, Me haces reir... you are digging up all these food-y posts - AND I actually did have leftover chicken mole for dinner tonight from what I made yesterday ... and yes, Dona Maria of course... Don't forget to add some queso fresco! Pau

It is beautiful! Good luck Jilly!

I do love how your dress was blowing perfectly for that shot! The pic with Marty and friend with you two had a nice coordinating colour combination with your flowers. Seems your new hubby has good taste in music too...

There has got to be some other secret you ar not telling us TammyB ... Do you do a lot of cardio? You look amazing! The honeymoon poochies are so cute! They are so lucky to have you come into their lives. I like their names too... Paloma and Planeta.
