Your hair idea sounds pretty. Quote: Originally Posted by mlb36 Whats the best if your wedding will be on sand? Can you walk on the beach easily in espadrilles or wedges?

We will be thinking of you, have fun! Kelly~

Jaime as a mom I can tell you that it is not such a huge deal to pull kids out of school for a few days, or even a week. I pulled my guys for a week to go to Mexico with them with no effect to them at all. The only thing to be aware of is if they are older and have exams, then of course you should work around that, other then that I think you should pick the date you want. Jaime look what happen to me when I tried to please everyone it bit me, HARD, in the ass, keep that in mind! Kelly~

Jason have a wonderful time, you and Karen are blessed to have found one another. Kelly~

We are arriving on Sunday,the 5th, 9 days before our wedding, the following sunday,the 12th, our guests arrive, we are getting married on the Tuesday, the 14th, and we leave to go home the next Sunday, the 19th. We are away 2 weeks in total. I want to be well rested before the wedding which is why we decided to go so early. I am happy I have planned it this way. Everton and I are having our honeymoon (Mexico, or Jamaica) in April/may next spring. Kelly~

Two of our bdwf friends getting married, and too each other, yeahhh Kelly~

Sorry, I wish I had better news for you. But, I think if you tell everyone they should bring them along, they probably would. Julie, all I really care about is the cups I had made. I thought of just bringing the cups Glenda, or shipping everything down down but I have heard nightrmares of problems. The cup problem is that I could get dinged for taxes`with 45 cups thinking I am going to sell them. Apparently the cups are a huge selling item in the DR, go figure!! Kelly~

Quote: Originally Posted by Christine Kelly, you should be the first, you have enough to deal with, plus why bring them down there if your in laws are being iffy about showing up... Yeah your right Christine, okay I am going to stop worrying there are too many other things to worry about. I am going to try and remember that this is about Everton, me, and the kids, and to hell with everything else. Kelly~

Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride Kelly I am terribly sorry if I offended you or anyone else and I hope you know that I would never mean to offend anyone. I 100% agree that children and pets are different and I don't have any children so I can't even begin to imagine the pain one feels from losing a child. I can however honestly say that I would feel more devestated at the thought of losing my sister than my beloved yorkie Bentley. I completely understand that people have legitimate reasons for having to give up their pet and sometimes it is not by choice. If someone lost their job and couldn't afford their apartment anymore and had to move in somewhere that didn't allow animals they may be forced to give their pet up. I also do respect that at least the couple Tammy is talking about is making the effort to find the dog a new home. However, my friends case is just unacceptable. I realize that in my post I just gave the basic story but if you knew this girl you would understand why I am so heated. She is just a selfish person who bought the dog b/c it is trendy to have little dogs and now doesn't want to have it b/c he is older. After I found her dog a new home, she asked her FI to buy her a puppy. These are the type of people I am referring to, so I hope you'll understand that my comments are directed towards selfish people, not people who legitimately have to give up their pet for a good reason. Also, I apologize if my post seemed as though I was comparing the life of a child to that of a dog. What I meant by my comment is that there are a lot of selfish people who get rid of their dogs b/c they are an inconvenience and instead of realizing that a pet is a huge responsibility and should be someone that you could consider a part of your family, they find any easy out. I would certainly hope that no one would put their child to sleep, like you said that would be murder. The point I was trying to get across is that to some people like my friend dogs are accessories, while in my home (and I know in a lot of other people's homes as well) Bentley is a part of the family. So what I meant to say was that you don't just get rid of members of your family b/c they inconvenience you, you try to make it work b/c you love them. Once again, I'm sorry if I offended you or anyone else. Oh Glenda, you are such a sweetheart, and one of my favourite people on this forum, I know you didn't mean any offence.I just had to defend my stance on parenthood that all. I love my kids, and I love my dogs & cats, I don't so much love the tadpoles, frogs, fish , catepillers, and snails that have also managed to find a home in my house. Kelly~

So my ingenious little mind thought that I would FREE the froggy so that he could live happily without a cat attacking him. So, I packed him up in a little dish and walked behind my house to the pond. As I was walking through the field a snake slithered over my feet. I freaked out, threw my hands in the air, thus sending poor froggy flying into the air and landing somewhere in the field. Who knows where because I'm pretty sure I was back at home FAR away from the snake by the time the frog landed. I still feel bad to this day. Poor frog. Never had a chance. Oh crap, now I'm all sad. I choose to believe that your beloved frog found his way back to the pond. I have a houseful of frogs right now, my boys brought home a truck load of tadpoles and they are all now changing into these cute baby frogs. It has been a great learning experience for Liam, but I do have to watch him with all of the creatures in my home (there are tons) he tends to want to love them to DEATH, as most small children do. LOL Kelly~

Quote: Originally Posted by tvt ugh. would peopel move if their KID couldn't go? I think not! Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride Agggh! Would they put their kid to sleep if it was an incovenience? I sincerely doubt it! Guys I love all of my pets, and I have many. I don't know what this couples reasons are for having to get rid of their dog, or why they even have the dog in the first place, so I will not judge them, as I would never want to be judged. They are obviously at least making the effort, and it could be a very painful decision they have had to make. I sincerely hope that they are able to find a home where this dog can be loved. I had to make a tough decision to keep or get rid of my pets when Nicole was sick and had been in the hospital for 9 months ( I was never home I lived at sick kids, and the children were being taken care of by family members), with no sight to going home, thankfully we were able to work it out and my pets stayed part of our family, or we would have all been heartbroken. I do take offence however to people who compare dogs to children, there is no comparsion. Our dogs are a vital important part of our home, but my children are the most important part of my home. The death of a child and the death of a pet do not come close in the pain that would be felt if you were to lose your child. You cannot compare the decision of having to give up your dog with your child, of course you would not put your child to sleep, for then you would surly be a homicidal monster Kelly~

Our resort is really reasonable, they charge only $15.00/person extra to make your venue private. They also don't put a limit on the number of people you can have for the ai dinners as long as the guests are staying on the resort. I know one bride at our resort who didn't pay the money for the private dinner because she had so many people that they filled the restauraunt, so it was private for them anyway. Kelly~

Sorry Amy, that is really crappy. Glenda you are too funny, in Canada we would just politely ask the thief if there is anything we can do to help them with, we would never want to offend them!!! Kelly~

Wow so cute, you ladies are all so creative. Kelly~

Yep, still missing unread messages. I just went back and read about your hand Tammy, oohh that must have hurt, nothing worse than a burn. Glad it's feeling better. Good job it just came back up!!! Thanks

Let me know anyway, I like the idea of a more casual dress for the reception. I am a size 3/4 so I would imagine it would fit me.
