Great shots, I like how natural they are. The boa one was my favorite as well. (I updated the thread title....)

Yeah, that's how I read it too (g/f called ex-wife). But really, this isn't about the dad OR his new girlfriend, it's about the original poster and her fiance. So I think it's really rude of her dad to make this situation happen after barely being divorced for 6 months. I know that people break up and move on, but be tactful about it and don't force acceptance. It will happen when people are ready, and a wedding vacation isn't really the best time for that. I think you should just call your dad and be truthful about it. That you are happy that he's happy, but it's really not the best time to start "family" vacations with the new g/f. Hopefully, he will have enough respect for you and your FI (and possibly your mom!) that he will realize that it's just too stressful a situation. If he doesn't, you will have to weight the stress of having him and his g/f there against the stress of getting married without your father there. I am really sorry you are in such a sucky situation and I really hope that there is a good solution for you! Let us know how it goes if you talk to him about it.

Actually, I am pretty sure he is right. Alyssa just told me this like a week or so ago. If someone sends you a message and you reply (if they aren't on your friends list, but they found you either thru a friend or just searching), they have access to your profile for 30 days. Or something similar to that. I would just be careful who you respond to! (Like sometimes if I had a friend reqeust, I might send them a message and say "do I know you?" or something similar and I guess that would give them access to my page. So now I won't be doing that anymore!)

Jac - you might want to see if Trisha (tsleege) still has the spreadsheet that we used when ordering ours. It might save you some time organizing it. I had like 200 emails about that when we were putting it together, but I didn't keep them anywhere! And I usually keep everything, darn it.

There already is a thread for this - http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21984 Please use the search function before posting a new thread. This thread is now closed.

Hi Cheryl, have you searched thru the ROR threads? I know that a few things you posted about today have been discussed at length already, so if possible, do a search and then post in the original thread. When there are so many different threads discussing the same things, it makes it very hard to gather any information, so we try to keep them in one thread.

Hmmmmm. I kinda agree, but I think that he shouldn't bring her on the vacation. He should realize how this will make the whole family uncomfortable and not put you in this position. I know it's their vacation, and usually I am all about people bringing random guests and the guests just not being invited to the wedding related events. However, this isn't "people", this is your Dad. If this woman is excluded from wedding related events, that will only minimize the tension, but it won't be completely gone. This means that she won't be at the 4 hours the wedding reception is (or however long), but she will be at the pool/bar/restaurant/wherever for the entire length of time. I just think that he shouldn't put that on anyone when the divorce is so fresh. I almost think that it would be better if NEITHER of them came rather then dealing with the drama of having the new g/f there.

Here's a thread that might interest you - http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t6691

Yay, you're such a good BDW'er! Looks like everything went well, I can't wait to hear/see more!! Congrats, Shelley!!

I've been wondering all morning if I could have a donkey now. Shoot, we might live next to a farm (there's a thread about it), and we'll have land. I want a donkey now! Hahahahhaaaa. I am not even kidding that I've been wondering if I could have one.

Oh. My. God. SO FRICKING CUTE!!!! I want a baby donkey!

I choose the dyeables, cuz they were the actual shoe that I liked the best, and I chose purple cuz you said it's your favorite color!

Holy smokes!! 8 days, Quelicious!!!!!

I actually like it! The color is really pretty and I can kinda see what you might mean about looking prego, but I don't think you actually do. It's just the style of the dress! I actually have a brown dress that is pretty similar to it and I love it cuz it's so comfy.

you get karma when someone gives you karma! like if someone liked your post, they might give you karma. You can view this at the bottom of the page under your usercp. Now for the icons under it... the first button shows whether someone is online or not, the second is reputation points (I think it's similar to karma), the third is if someone didn't like what you posted the can give you an infraction, the fourth is if they really didn't like what you posted it is reported to the admins and the fifth is your ip address.

Hahahaa, this is great, Ann! (90: the vacuum is drunk (703): what? (90: i spilled my drink and tried to vacuum it and now the vacuum is drunk

Thanks, everyone! Almost a year later and I still love everything!

It worked! Looks like you have an extra code in the front and back though, just an fyi...

Hey Jill, Check out the link in my siggy (or any other mods also) for hints on how to do things, there are I think three links to help you with photos.

Yayyyyyyyyyy, Shel!!!!!!!! I can't believe this is it, your wedding is going to be awesome! Enjoy yourself and make sure to tell your guests that we need pictures!

Ugh, I hate looking at pictures of myself. I told Jac that seeing these pics was the push I needed to get serious and lose some damn weight, but that's a whole different thread there. The night was fun! I hadn't been out "clubbing" in years, so it was definitely something new again to me!

No worries, Lori. Sometimes it's hard on the internet since we can only read the words and not how they were meant or said.

Bumping for the members that visit at nighttime...
