I just received my order of fans from Bliss! Weddings Market. I found their prices to be great, 10 for $8.50 They are not pre packaged so they all appear to be the same size = medium. I ordered them on July 12th and received them this morning. I am Very Happy with them and with the service. You might want to check them out. If you have any questions, let me know. Lizzy

No more questions. Thanks for replying! Honestly ladies, these are the best deal around. When Maggie and I went to Pearl River in NY they had tons of parasols, but most of them had little tears in them, or they wouldn't lock in the open position. Granted they were not packaged and who knows how many people have played with them. The least expensive they had was somewhere around 4.95 or 5.95 and those were only 24". Also, there is a lady on eBay who is selling a Lot of 12 paper, white parasols for 47.95. w/out tax thats 4.00 a piece. Still not bad. Here is the link, you may need to copy and paste it: eBay: 12 White Wedding Paper Umbrellas Parasols (item 170132144236 end time Jul-20-07 15:56:23 PDT)

Your photos are lovely. Looking forward to seeing more!

I just ordered them! I hope they are OK to use for Mag's wedding! They arn't treated with the oil so they have no protectant on them, but like Jilly said on earlier post, they should at least survive the wedding, right?? We aren't gonna paint them. Maggie is the Queen of the All White Wedding. I am thinking I might just throw in a little color with some ribbon in the handle or something. Where is Jilly??

I was wondering if you ever got the paint your own parasols? I have been thinking about getting them and wondered what you thought about them? Please let me know, Lizzy

OK ladies, I will let you know what she finds in Mexico. She said she wants the ones made out of gourds, but when she sees the prices she may change her mind (LOL)! She wo't be back til Wednesday nite so I won't know anything until Thursday...unless she calls me. Take care, Lizzy

Kelly, you are so funny! Being Black Irish has nothing to do with your skin color. It has to do with dark hair blue-green-grayish eyes. I guess the skin tone does have a little to do with it. Usually very light skin, usually no freckles. Almost an etherial look...like a fairie princess. I am having a hard time describing this. BUT, this is what you look like to me.

Thanks everyone. Maggie is going to Tulum this Sunday so I think I'll tell her to look down there. It sounds like she'll do better there then the internet. I will let you know what she finds. L

Martha, little Jack came into your life for a reason. I pray he sticks around and fills your heart with the kind of love only a pet can. Lizzy

Has anyone bought maracas for their guests? Does anyone know of a good place to get them? Thanks, as always for your help! Lizzy

Jason and Karen, your happiness abounds. Just let the love grow each day. The two of you have been very blessed to have found each other! Slainte! Lizzy

Kelly, I have been thinking forever about asking you to post a photo of your whole gang. Wow, I am not alone on this! I would love to see you and Everton too. Are things going better with your FMOIL? I think you posted a little somethin-somethin about that awhile ago. Anyway, congrats on all of your accomplishents and your celebrations. BTW, You and Liam and Kenda are beautiful! I can see some "black Irish" in you. Lizzy

Catherine, I thought you were gonna propose to him on Father's day??!! Maybe he has to S##t or get off the pot! OR, maybe you should wait, I do not know the answer. How long have you two been together? Couldn't you just tell him you found the deal of a lifetime and you would like to take advantage of it? He can only say one of two things, and if it is yes, you buy the gown...if it is not yet, then you have some decisions to make. I honestly think, for your own sanity, it is time to find out what is in your future. Good luck sweetheart, Lizzy

All of you have been very helpful! I knew I could count on you ladies. As far as I know, there will be no vegans, so maybe we will be OK. But I do think I will take the advise of asking the vegetarians that I am aware of, if there is something in particular they would like to see on the menu. Thanks to you all, Lizzy

Jason and Karen, you two are way too cute. I feel like I know you! Your teaser is tooooo much of a teaser. Tomorrow, get your butts out of the bed and write your review...including the romantic waves and fabric and tiki torches! You know what I mean?? Happy marriage you guys, Lizzy

Thanks for the reminder on the salads! I like your ideas and do appreciate them!

Posted on another category, but no responses. Thought I would try it here. Does anyone have any information on DJs for Tulum or surounding area? Ana Y Jose has one they use, but Mags wasn't real taken with his lack of energy. Any ideas Lizzy

Here is the buffet menu that we are having at Ana Y Jose Beach Club. Tell me what you veggie girls think...is there enough for your taste? BTW, what is CEVICHE?

Have any of you requested a special entree for guests who are vegetarian? If so, what kind of items did your venue suggest? We have a vegetable kabob on our menue but there must be some other ideas. Come on ladies, help my creative juices flow! Lizzy

It has been great hearing all of your plans, being kept in suspense about your romantic getaways, and about how much in love you two are. I am so happy for you both. Yippeeeee for Mr. and Mrs. Lambert! Lizzy

Dawn, my daughter is being married in Tulum on January 19, 2008. She is having the ceremony and reception at Ana Y Jose Beach Club which is partnered with the Ana Y Jose Casitas and Spa. We have also been looking for affordable options for our guests. We won't be staying at the resort. Please keep us posted on what else t you find. I have looked online at the places you have listed and I like them too. Lizzy

Would you mind giving more information on where you purchased your beach towels and how much they were? Maggie is wanting to add these to her OOT bags, but is having trouble finding affordable prices. Thanks a lot, Lizzy

Stephanie, you are not only very generous, but beautiful also! You looked very happy and Jason looks quite taken with you too!!! Best wishes to you bioth, Lizzy

Just want to tell Tara how funny it was to read "ass backwards". That is a term my family has used for years! Do you think it is a Minnesota thing? It made me laugh...don't ya know, dere hey? Lizzy

Ann, the church will want you to have your first marriage annulled. Especially now with this Pope. He is extremely strict about the laws of the church. He has come down really hard on this subject. If you are divorced, no sacraments, and if you know someone at mass is receiving sacraments after a divorce, he expects you to report them to the priest or Bishop! Buzz and I are Catholic and are not supposed to be allowed. Can you imagine? I wonder what the Man Upstairs thinks about all of these man made laws? Off my soapbox...anyway, I hope this helps. Paul's family should be aware of this, but they may be expecting you to apply for the annullment. Tammy, the same for you. The priests really have no leeway on this at all. And annullments are expensive. Lizzy
