We didn't have to pay for the entire stay but maybe if you go through the hotel it is different. Have you considered talking to a TA about it? I would see if Tammy is available...she is awesome and so helpful with everything!

We registered at Macys & Bed bath & beyond

I have ordered a bunch of stuff from the website directly and everything was fine. I never went through nordstroms or anything. I might need to get some more stuff for my OOT bags so thanks for the code!!

After reading a lot of the comments on the forum, I noticed that Tammy was probably my best POC for travel arrangements for my guests. I sent her an email last night, so I'm just waiting to hear back from her. I am using Tammy as my TA and she is fabulous. She set up the room block for me with all of my guests and its been so easy!! I highly recommend using her for your wedding it will make your life so much easier!!

Congratulations Ann & Paul. She is beauitful and what a beauitful name. I am so happy for you guys.

Everything looks fantastic Kelley. Your guest are going to love the bags!! Your dress is beauitful!

Maura I am totally not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. I have been working out but eating like crap this weekend. Went to a baseball game in SF and ate horribly and then drank a lot of beer too!! YIKES i just realized that I leave in 21 days for Cabo .....I have got to get my act together!!

Congratulations Shannon!!

Jackie it sounds beauitful!! It will be well worth a few extra dollars for the atmosphere!!

I got mine at Macys as well on sale for $100 I believe....its the short version of this dress...

This forum has been so helpful in my wedding planning! I will post pics and a review when I get back! Have a fantastic time!! Can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures!!

I told Yesica I was having Suzanne Moral come to my room the morning of the wedding to do pedicures and stuff and she didn't say anything about passes. She just mentioned that she comes there a lot and how good she was.

I wonder if they can figure out who is on BDW because like this...we all then email them about the same thing right after one another!! Thanks again for the heads up!!

I did 60 minutes on the treadmill last night along with the arm weights!! TIme to tone those arms up for my dress!!

OH my gosh you ladies posted some huge weight loss numbers this week!! Great job!! I am down .6 pounds...which I am totally excited about. I did 5 60 minutes treadmill sessions last week and it really seemed to help!! Keep up the good work ladies!!

I mean lets face it, they are using our other BDW brides left over lanterns to hang for people and charging us 180.00 bucks the same exact amount but yet we are bringing our own which will take up some space and weight in our suitcase and we purchased on our own. Word of advice print out all of your agrements via e-mail so that when you get the final bill you have something of substance to fight with. I emailed Yesica to ask her about this and she did confirm that if you brought your own lanterns down they only charged $60 to hang them. Thanks for the heads up Jackie!! That saved Amy & I over $100 since we are sharing the lanters!!
