[quote=akh;10280 i love that idea of a money jar! and i know a loonie is money, but what denomination? or is it just a general term? A looney is a $1.00, and a toonie is, yup, you guessed it $2.00 They are both coins, Canada believes in trying to make paper money obsolete. It does make saving mad money easier, I use to save loonies, now I save toonies! It can add up quickly you think you have no money and then ,what do you know, look at all the loonies and toonies at the bottom of your purse. LOL

Love and Happines! Kelly~

I agree that the first wedding is still part of your history and who you are today, you and paul must be very secure in your realationship with one another. I know old wedding stuff mine and Everton's doesn't bother either of us. We do have children however and I think it is important to hang on to it as a testement for them to who their parents were. I have my dress and veil also, both my daughter say that one day they want to use the veil, I think that is a beautiful idea. Just this year I gave my girls each a ring, Nicole got my old engagement ring, and Kenda got the wedding band, both girls haven't taken them off since. Back to topic, one of the coolest gifts I got ther first time around, was a money jar, instead of just being given money, my Aunt and Uncle gave me a beautiful glass jar with a lid filled with loonies. It was a great incentive to keep adding to it and then when we had enough to do something fun, usually a trip, we did guilt free. Kelly~

Yeahh Anny, you will be a beautiful bride, I can't believe your wedding day is already here! Keep the starfish safe, I am looking forward to receiving it from a wedding that I know is going to be so full of love and positive karma!! Be happy, and enjoy every moment of your day Kelly~

Nicole has my first wedding picture hanging in her room, Everton is okay with it since Nicole is also in it all cute and cuddly with mom and dad. LOL Kelly~

I've been gone so my building signed for it and it is locked up in the office. It's killing me . . . I'm taking a road trip so I don't know when I'll see mine either. Arrrrgh!! Oh Jamy that really sucks, but now your fair game we will be bugging you, also, to show us the goods!!!! Kelly~

I have to admit I am glad my mother isn't!! LOL I love Maggie's dress it is very different then anything we have seen on here. I can't wait to see it in white. I liked it with the sash also. Kelly~

So many wonderful people to choose from, lucky girl, I wish I had these options in the DR. Kelly~

You are going to be fine. We decided at Christmas and everything seems to have worked out so far! Kelly~

Wow you look so beautiful, perfect choice! Kelly~

NO!! Sorry I am a little ticked with Everton tonight, so ask me tomorrow, and maybe I will have a different answer. LOL

I am a Punta Cana bride, and in about 6 weeks I will be able to tell you firsthand about getting married there. I chose the DR for a few reasons, cost was one of them, it is def cheaper for us to go to the DR, my guests are going to Punta Cana for 1 week for about $1100.00 and staying at a 4&1/2 star resort. The costs for kids was reasonable also about 1/2 the price. Our resort is an ai and the wedding is not costing me much. Our dinner is included and we are having a reception on the beach. We will be eating dinner outside on the Ocean Terrace, and the meal included had many options. I get to decorate however I wish, my wc has been a dream. We are paying for a trio, and a dj, the flowers of course and extra cake and champagne. I am also having a farewell dinner which will not cost me any extra, our welcome reception is only costing us the price of hor'douvers and wait staff, booze is included.The resort we chose has tons to do for everyone, and the beach and water in Punta Cana is breathtaking. Now having said that one of my most frustrating things has been that the DR does not have a selection of photographers, and for that reason alone I had wished I had chosen Mexico. I have been to both the DR and Mexico, and I loved both places, I don't think you can go wrong in either of these locations. If you really don't have a preference, I think you need to research prices for each location, and make your decision based on your final costs. Kelly~

Wow so many wedding lately, can't wait to hear all the details. Have fun and be happy. Kelly~

Welcome!!! Wow, another Jamaican bride, you will have lot's of help, the girls are great. Kelly~
