I am having a hard time finding nice looking silk ones, but yours ROCK!!

totally cute!

Please post pics if you have any and let us know what your thoughts are on reception locations, wedding locations, etc.

LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!! You are hot, mama!!!!

We have peple coming in on different nights, so we will have a "Welcome Cocktail Reception" each night at the Lobby Bar (except Wed night when they have a Beach BBQ, so we'll meet there instead). That's where I'll hand out OOT bags to the new arrivals and make introductions.

I'm trying to give our WC an idea of what we want to do. Thanks so much!! I'd like to see some set-up options too. I'd love a beach reception but am curious about what type of dance floor options there are b/c we will be shakin' our booty!

We are both very adventurous so I would like something that talks about "sharing the adventure of life together"! Any ideas? Here's a link http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...eremonies.html but if you do a search for "Vows" you can find several other threads too. Congrats on your upcoming nuptials and welcome to the forum!

I'm trying to see what it looks like so I can duplicate one that looks semi-real to take to our Symbolic Ceremony and have our MOH and BM sign as 'witnesses'.

We got our first Registry gift today -- off of our Honeymoon Registry. (It's actually a birthday gift for me from my sister .. but it's perfect 'cos it's for our honeymoon). A horseback ride on the beach. So, I think the registries give people options too ... they can use it as a guide for gifts for birthdays and Christmas leading up to the wedding. Plus, we are having 2 AHR's, due to both of our sets of parents insistence, because a lot of the older relatives won't be able to make it to the DW.

We have one couple coming who's bringing their two kids -- AND their own babysitter.

Mine was originally $599, but was discontinued and on sale for $450, off the rack -- last one. I just had them give me an estimate for alterations last week, and that comes in at under $100 ... so not bad! :-)

So I did 7 straight days of cardio and weights except for Saturday when my parents were in town. My mom and I did spin class in the morning then went for a 3.6 mile hike in the olympic mountians....which was basically climbing straight up for an hour and 1/2! I was so sore yesterday I almost skipped the gym, but I knew I had to make it to my 7 day goal. I havn't weighed myself...since I know muscle weighs more than fat, but I think I've probably lost around 5-7lbs or so...now down to about 117...want to be at 110 by the wedding; and 115 by BD picks next month. I'll let ya'll know how it goes! I am ssssooooo jealous!!! I haven't worked out since Tom left to go back to Iraq after his leave in March. aarrgghh!! I was doing so well, lost 15 pounds ... but it's starting to creep back up on me. I just lost my focus. But now I've got less than a month before Tom gets home for good, so I've GOT to get back on track. Hopefully I can use this thread as motivation...

The legal part in the DR is expensive, and then you have all the translation costs. This is accurate. However, if you do it this way and just have a Symbolic Ceremony in DR, I am almost certain that he can officiate the entire thing (without having to worry about a DR Officiant) and that way it will be in English and you can save money on the Officiant fee (because you still have to pay the non-denominational Officiant for the Symbolic Ceremony in DR). I think it's a great idea! Do the 'paperwork' before you get to DR, then have him take care of the Symbolic part and I think you've got tht best of both worlds!
