Heidi

Thanks everyone!! Alyssa - it's just like Fez, but in the suburbs. This place was called Little Marakesh and it was fabulous! For the most part I'm sleeping - just having weird dreams about the wedding. Like I forgot to bring my dress on the plan so I just wear my bikini, and I forgot to bring the sand ceremony stuff so we just don't do it, and we never write vows so there's just complete awkward silence... weird stuff like that!

Beaches didn't say anything about needing a letter and I suck at writing them... Carly - I learned this the hard way - in PA you cannot get a birth certifiate notorized. I sent a copy of my actual birth certificate - it just needs to have a raised seal. You can order them online. They wouldn't write a letter for us either - we tried our Wachovia bank and a notary at an auto tags place - both told us the same info.

oooh yay! I can't wait to see pics!!!! Hope you had a blast!

Ha, I've got you beat! We were dating for 8 years, and it'll be 9 right after our wedding. We started dating right after we both graduated from high school!

Have a WONDERFUL time!!!

Hola chicas! This weekend was my Bachelorette party. We went to a Moroccan restaurant for their special 7-course feast (we were there for 3+ hours!) - VERY fun! Plus we all got up and danced with the bellydancers. Then, we went to a Martini bar within walking distance from my apartment, so could all get sh*t-faced! Here are some pics for ya: Me & my sister: BM#1: BM#2: Everyone at dinner: Dancing! Drinking: More drinking: Striking a pose: (Anyone else think I look funky with my hair straightened?! )

I haven't bought it yet....I stink, sorry! Hopefully today/tomorrow!!!

Red wine or white wine?

I just think Michael is way too obvious... that said I've thought it would be Michael as soon as there was someone on the boat! This is how Lost makes me feel sometimes: BUT I LOVE IT!!!

Here's a thought...they keep saying all this about Ben's Man on the boat. And we're all thinking of MEN. Lost likes to throw curve balls at us. I say it could be a woman. Possibly Ana Lucia or Libby? That'd be crazy!! Then again, isn't Michelle Rodriguez in jail now?!

THE CEREMONY: We're either getting this arch: http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...1/DSC_0116.jpg or just going on the beach. I want to get freeze dried rose petals to line the aisle - but not sure if they'll just blow away! THE RECEPTION: We recently changed our reception plans. Dinner is still going to be at the Mammee Bay Restaurant. I got some pink & green candles that we'll put along the table. Afterwards, we're paying for a private beach party at the Seagrape Bar! We'll have a DJ and dance on the beach. Oh, and the beach will be lined with tiki torches! I can't wait!

Also has detailed info about Michael & Photoshop and bringing in your own photographer. We have worked very hard to get all of this wonderful info easily accessible for all ROR brides - enjoy!!!

All I hear is my mom in my head telling me to never buy a house with electric (I don't know why, because her house is gas!?!?)

Does Sunday, April 20th work for everyone? Here's a poll for location. I say whichever gets the most votes wins!

wow, that's just terrible!!!! gosh, it just blows my mind how closed-minded people still are out there... And actually, if I knew that about Jamaica I probably would have picked somewhere else. geesh!

I heard a while ago (like years ago) that Sandals does not allow same-sex couples to stay there. So, I've never considered supporting them financially or any other way. Today, I heard some people at work talking about Sandals and it got me wondering if they still have that policy? Does anyone know? I tried some internet searching that gave me mixed results. Just wondering! Gracias!
