Obviously, the beautiful country, which we call home doesn't suck. I'm sure that's what you meant. It would be utterly stupid of you to bash someone else's home country in a thread intended for Canadians...

It's been proven that most of the time these are impulsive crimes that more like an addiction for the offender and they can't stop. And once you've done your time you've paid your debt to society and you should be able to live. So this is why I'm conflicted....most of these people can not be rehabilitated....so don't let them out! Right, but as much as we'd all like to lock them up and throw away the key, that isn't exactly an option in most cases.... so, it's best to be educated! I wonder if they have one for Canada somewhere...

It's nice to hear that your TA and your guests are willing to help you out here and do what it takes. By the sounds of it, the charges just won't stop. It's upsetting that EDR isn't willing to work with brides. I'm so sorry they're putting you through this. And I agree with Morgan, post your vents, I know I would!

That really sucks, and sounds painful too! But maybe you could get some spoiling out of your FI?!! lol Oh... btw, I'll change the spelling for you in the title!

A date twin!! Congratulations... and welcome to the forum!!

My mom is kicking butt and helping me with my last few projects, but we're pretty much done. What about you? Five weeks, that's nothing!!

I felt like James' comments to Chelsia were just rude and so untrue. He was evicted because everyone saw him as a threat. I didn't see his comments as necessary. I felt bad for her. Other than that, I'm happy about the outcome. Good riddance!

The only way you can set something up is if you pay a fee, which I believe is at $25pp, it's a set-up fee. Although, I think Michelle was more just talking about meeting her guests there and hanging out. Since the Rendezvous Bar is in the lobby, it's not very private at all - so I don't think this is a good place to set up a set event, if it's even allowed at this particular location. It's for this same reason that yes, children can chill out with you guys while the adults share a drink.

Ok, a lot of people say this is a myth, but I SWEAR it works for me. If I know I'm going to be out in the sun a lot, like I am on a vacation, I tan a few weeks ahead of time. I've done it my last few vacations and haven't burnt at all. I'm super sensitive to burning as well (must be a Calgary thing, and the fact that we never get nice sunny days!) but I swear this works. ...that's all I can think of! Sorry!

Umm... what are you doing checking in; you're on your HONEYMOON!!!! I'm so glad everything went well though. I really can't wait to hear about it, I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering how everything went. Now, go enjoy the rest of your honeymoon!

I LOVE the colors in the nursery, it's beautiful!! Did you decorate yourself?? And wow, it really filled up after the shower!! What'd ya get??

I googled Sheila Kennedy and saw some of her old penthouse pictures. LOL She was beautiful but you can definitely tell it was the 80's. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... but WHY would you want Sheila to win?!! I mean, honestly... she's a nut job! She's always on the fence, she has yet to win a competition, she's selfish and backstabs EVERYONE, yet thinks she's always the victim... I could go on and on, but I'm curious to know why you think she deserves to win?

If I were a celebrity, I'd get this dress to wear to different events... and hope not to get busted! I love how versatile it is to different body types, very cool!!

Would you consider getting legally married much earlier than that?? Could you somehow work that into the plans... especially since you were going to go visit them in May anyways.

Lol Jaime, I can totally read the energy in your first posts! 2PM?!! I can honestly say I haven't slept in that late in yearrrrss!! Then again, I usually can't stay up much later than 11pm! lol

It's gorgeous!!! I love the detailing in the bust and on the train as well. Very pretty! When does your dress come in?

Oh, I loved doing the e-pics, it was so much fun. We never had formal pictures of us either - every picture of us was Aaron's arm around me, both of us smiling. Yep, real creative. It's nice to see the two of us captured in candid moments. Hopefully we can get a sneak peek, seeing as we don't seem to be very patient people on here... but if we HAVE to wait, we will!

Here are a few threads I found that may help... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t18729 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t12186 Also, this thread is an excellent resource... http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t951 I found some pics on Tripadvisor. Usually I don't read their reviews because they can be a little over-analytical, but I do like looking at the traveler's photos. Lobby: Gazebo: In this shot you can see the Gazebo at the top of the picture. Not sure how private that is, given that the main pool is right there: This traveler called this the "chapel": The architecture looks amazing here. Not sure where you're thinking of having your reception, but there are some really beautiful locations inside that would drop anyone's jaw!

A scrabble proposal, that really is creative!!! What I want to know is how did he get away with "picking" the right letters without you noticing that he was clearly cheating?!!!

Aww, I love your story!! It's right out of the movies - especially with everyone applauding your new engagement!!

Welcome to the forum Ashlyn! Where'd you go in the Dominican? I've never been, but I've heard it's beautiful. There have been some really amazing weddings there. Are you considering the same resort you just stayed at?

Great theme song!

But I also do like Say Yes to the Dress. Really, all wedding shows are good right now! I like Rich Bride, Poor Bride too. If I see anything wedding related, I'll pretty much stop there and watch it! lol.
