We are also staying at the deluxe room at Beaches. Hopefully getting upgraded when we arrive though. We are staying at Beaches for our HM as well.

I remember my sister had to get her tightened and there was a small fee. I don't remember exactly what it was, but I'd guess like $40. But she also just took it to the 1st place, she didn't ask around for better prices. I think she also had to have them send it away for the weekend, cuz there jeweler doesn't work on site. (I thnk it was a mall store). Sorry, I am not being much help, am I?

Well let me know if anything intersting turns up and I will do the same. I would def love to incorporate something to honor the fact that we are committing to each other in Jamaica! It's weird. It's starting to get more real and I haven't slept right for like a week! I thnk it's the ticker saying 6 month and xx days.

I would def get it tightened asap. But it depends on how much you can move it on whether I would continue wearing it until it's tightened. I know that 4 prong settings aren't as secure as 6 for a round cut diamond, so that would make me nervous. Mine is oval, with 4, so it would have to be crazy loose to fall out. That all being said, I am not a jeweler, so I don't know for sure, I would just hate for you to lose your stone!!

I think those prices are pretty good. I bought the sandlewood fans for my guests at like $1.09/each or something like that.

Oh my, I absolutely agree with that! I heard that before though, just didn't know it was Jamaican. Heidi - great finds! I had found some of them, but nothing was striking me as a "need to do". Be publicly ridiculed? No thanks.

So I don't know about anyone else, but since I am getting married in Jamaica, I would love to incorporate some Jamaican traditions. On an episode of "Married Away" the other day, a couple was getting married in Jamaica and the WC mentioned a wedding tradition. The wedding cake is presented with a veil and the mothers of the bride and groom each lift the veil off as a symbol of unity between the two families. I don't love this particular tradition, although I think it is kinda neat. Anyone know of any others?

Yay, Julie! I can't wait to hear all about it!!

I haven't read any comments yet, but I think you should def send one to the brother. Leaving him out does more harm then good. That being said, the situation sucks and everything seems ridic with the way he was acting. Perhaps he is just unhappy in his own life right now, with 2 small children. I know that can be hard, my sis has a 2 year old and a 4 year old. Maybe he is just taking the stress out on the wrong person. Or maybe he is really upset that he can't be there, so he is taking it out on your FI. I know, maybe, maybe, maybe. But I don't think you should leave them out.

That's beautiful!

Tami - I LOVE those bands! I think you should get what makes you happy. For me, having original things always works!

OMG, Tami, that is hystercial. I could read your lips, I am so happy for you, just so happy, we are so happy for you. ahahahahahaha, that's great.

That was a touching response and I am glad that we helped both you and Heidi thru a difficult time. Honestly, I think we all wish we could do more!

They look awesome, and I agree with the comment above about the blue corset and lace panties one, that is my fave! Totally hot.

I think it's a great dress, if it is one size too big, go for it. But 2 sizes too big is sometimes a really lot and you might have to pay mucho to get it fitted down to you. How much is the shipping? If it ws me, I would buy it, but I am impulsive like that.

Trish - I am going to check that out, since $ is such an option these days.

Wow, Angela, that woman does not know customer service! Good job on not jumping over the counter!

I am totally bookmarking this for whenever I get a computer that doesn't shut off and when I buy PhotoShop!

So it seems the BDW is full of impatient ladies!
