I've tried a few OTC things, but nothing has gotten my teeth noticabley whiter. Perhaps they are already white, I don't know. I have pretty sensitive teeth and occasionally would experince slight sensitivities after using. One thing even turned my gums white! I forget which brand, but they were the ones that you are supposed to let dissolve on their own in your mouth. I DO NOT recommend them, they were so gross that we threw them away rather then finish them. I use the crest white strips now, butt haven't seen a big improvement.

Amy - just PM Ana, she can still add yours. (I am pretty sure anyway.) Yours are the first ones I remember seeing when I decided that was what I wanted to do, so thanks!

I get 2 vaca days a month, and can carry up to 24 at a time. I also get 1 sick day each month and can carry up to 90 of them. Sadly, I only have like 10 sick days... Plus we get off or leave early for practically every holiday. Yay for me, for my job, for once!

We kind of did what Morgan said. I walked with my father and then he sat down and I stood with Matt. Actually, if there were any words exchanged at this point, I have no recollection of them!

Very cool invites. Now I want a Gocco toooooooo

Well, I had mentioned it before, but my sister wore a really high heel that had just a strip of leopard fabric across the toes and then around the foot area were tiny rhinestones. I loved that! They are so cute. I can take a pic of them if you want. Then you could still do your red nail polish. I don't know, maybe I am just not traditional AT ALL, cuz I don't think funky shoes means you have to tone down your nail polish. As long as everything is complementary, I think you should be as bright/dark as you want to be.

Eww, Alyssa, that sounds horrible! That poor bride! Are they going to offer any kind of reimbursement or something for faulty A/C?

I don't think colored shoes cheapens the dress at all. But I had orange shoes, so I guess I am biased. I think colored shoes is very "now".

Jac - what the hell! I am sorry for whoever that is, cuz they must be scared outta their gourd right now.

From the way that you wrote it, it appears that you asked the FG AFTER your cousin assured you they were coming. So why would that be on you? If it IS important to you, you can offer to pay for the FG's portion of the room. Which is probably nothing since she is a child!

Would getting legally married here first be an option? If you are jsut having a symbolic ceremony in MX, I don't thnk you need to be there all those days in advance...

Happy bday, Jaime!

Ok, so I suck at taking notes and stuff and am really busy at work since it's the fiscal year close. I wrote a review on Trip Advisor, so for now, I am just going to copy and paste it here. I will try to answer any questions anyone has and elaborate where I can. The quick summary is that I would've chosen a different resort if having our neices and nephew there wasn't so very important to us. I was not happy with the communication with the resort from the beginning. Once we were there, we also had a few problems which can be traced back to this lack of communication that we had already experienced. (For instance, all the of congratulatory gifts (ie. champange, towels sculptures, etc.) were sent to the wrong room for the first 3 days. It was his cousins' room, so they had the same last name. But Matt went to them when it first happened and it took them 3 days to fix it.) The only other complaint would be the size of the beach, but really, they can't do anything about that... So here is my review from Trip Advisor. Ocho Rios: Beaches Boscobel Resort & Golf Club - Traveler Reviews - Beaches Boscobel wedding review - TripAdvisor I was married at Beaches Boscobel on May 17, 2008. The resort was nice, the people were super nice, but the coordination between the WC pre-resort was lacking. There was alot of information that she had incorrect, or gave me misinformation on, or didn't pass along to the on-site coordinator. Even with the issues, the wedding went smoothly. There were various other wedding-related issues along the way (the front desk was sending all wedding gifts (champagne, towel shaped, rose petals) to my husband's cousins room), that took like 3-4 days for them to correct, which was annoying. Regarding the wedding, I wouldn't get advise to get married at Beaches unless having children there are very important to you. They were to us, so we made that choice and I wouldn't change that part of it. I just wish Beaches was more together. Oh, and I def recommend the steel-pan player for during the ceremony! He was great. We also did a sand ceremony, which my guests really liked. They thought it added something special to the ceremony. Transporting the sand home was another story though, it didn't stay separate at all. But I guess that might be kinda the point too. One other thing, the minister rolled up the marriage certificate and handed it to my husband right after the ceremony while our guests were congratulating us and now we can't find it. I don't know why they would hand it over right in the middle of everything like that, so if you can ask the WC to maybe hold yours until the next day, that would be a better idea. We now might not get ours for 12-14 weeks or something like that. Regarding the resort, I have absolutely no complaints there. Everyone was so accommodating and they knew our names, which was nice. Food - Bayside (buffett) - We ate breakfast and lunch there almost daily. Nothing to rave about, but also nothing to complain about. There was a few times that we had dinner there and it was incredible! There was only one day at dinner and another day at lunch were there wasn't really anything I wanted to eat. They also open late night for after-bar cravings and their hot dogs taste great at 2am! The Venetian was good both time we ate there. Once with a large party of 15+ and once with just 4 people. My husband got the lamp and said it was phenomenal. I ate salmon once and beef tendorloins once, both good. The Arizona was really good as well. I recommend the marlin filet with corn ginger topping. Delish! There wasn't really any lunch options that were interesting, but the club sandwich was ok. It was also pretty cool to eat on the gazebo over the water, but the birds are pretty daring and practically chased us outta there like the Alfred Hitchcock movie "Birds". The other place we ate was Eleanor's, and that was really good as well. Also, nice to sit out on the deck for dinner at sunset. (No children allowed in this restaurant) Nightlife - Appleton Bar until 10 - We only stopped by there one night to meet up with friends that we had met there, but it was kinda dead. I don't know what it is normally like, since we were there for 10 days and only tried this place once. Perhaps we caught it on an off night. Bayside Bar until 12 - This is were we spent most of our time, I would say. They had SportsCenter on practically 24/7, and since there were quite a few important games going on here, my husband was interested in keeping tabs. The Disco until 2 - I wouldn't recommend the Disco at all. We went one night and it was pretty gross. It smelled really bad in there. The Piano Bar until 2 - The Piano Bar was nice, but rarely was anyone playing the piano. Not that that mattered cuz the best part for us was Godfrey the bartender. He is a more handsome not -dorky version of Carlton from The Fresh Prince. He was a very sarcastic and entertaining person to hang out with while there. He was my husbands favorite, since he had a handful of bar tricks that he did for us. I also heard that Marcelus was a great entertainer as well, but we never got the chance to check him out. This was our favorite place to go. The only other complaint is how tiny the beach is. There were no long romantic walks on the beach for us, since it wasn't long enough. Oh, and the "floating pharmacy", as we began to call it. Those are the guys that sit on rafts selling seashells, starfish, necklaces, etc, as well as any drug that you are interested in. At first I was highly annoyed that they were there and so persistant, but they only care about "fresh meat". Once you have been on the resort for about 2 days, if you haven't bought anything from them or chatted them up, they will leave you alone. And then you are even able to talk to them without them trying to sell you anything, which was nice.

Great thread, D! I will have to see what I can think up... I just read a book where a character's name was Anjolie! So pretty.

Great job, A! Love the style that you have.

What a jerkwad.

Glad to hear it all awent well despite the temperature! Looks like everyone had fun. I don't even see any sweat. Sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis, I really hope that he beats it. Sending BDW vibes his way...

Maria - always a wealth of information when it comes to the computer problems. Thanks so much for that name (AVG). I am downloading it to my home computer now and will check my work one tomorrow. I have norton at work, but always hated mcafee as well. My sister had it and it was killed her computer. It was almost like a virus itself!

Yeah, phone companies aren't that together with their rebates sometimes. I think they wnat people to forget about them...

What about having someone from CA drive in the RV with you, and then they can return it, so that way it wouldn't be a one-way rental. Do you have family there in CA? If so, maybe someone college aged who would think it would be cool. You could even pay them money, if you like that option... Other then that, it looks like you have thought of everything. Sorry didn't have the miracle answer!

I did run a virus check on my work computer and I found something and already had it quarantined and deleted. Now I will have to check my home computer also, since I don't really know when it happened...

Naming ships! Blahhahhahahahaaa, I just BUSTED out laughing!

I like that you "think" it annoys you. hahahahahahahaa

Awww, you look beautiful and SO happy! Congrats! Btw, I loved your parasol!

I am not crazy about the name, but I like Jessica Alba, so I am glad they are doing well after the birth!
