jajajaja

Ok I have this on my DVR. Was it a juicy one? I love when the girls hack the bachelor to peices.

Wait a second! ONE WEEK!!! When did that happen? I love love love everything. You left no stone unturned. Gosh, you had fun planning huh? It's all going to looks so fabulous! I'm very excited to see it all come together!

We stayed at Barcelo De La Jolla Mismaloya. It was in the southern most region and really pretty. It's actually right across from where the Predator was filmed and great access to the zip lines and waterfall. Los Arcos is also VERY close so it's easy to hire a boat to take you snorkeling. I think we paid like $15 per person for an hour. The resort is about 15-20 mins from downtown. The bus picks up across the street so it was fairly cheap for us to travel back and forth. We loved it and had a great time. If you want more info, let me know!

It all looks great Amy! Enjoy the break from the stress! Can't wait to see you back with details and pics.

So here's a stupid question- can you get a Skating While Intoxicated (SWI)? People in the US can get it for riding bikes, skateboards while intoxicated. Just wondering because skating back home for a pub sounds like fun!

LMAO! That is horrible! SO funny to laugh at them, but I bet their guests were paying more attention to the nudists than the ceremony. What a horrible moment to ruin! Thank goodness for private ceremonies huh?!

Yah, I still hate that kid so I wouldn't mind throwing him into the creek now. Still a bratty child at the full grown age of 24.

Ok so this isn't about stepping in your own poo (or someone else's poo) or bridal party fist fights. My mom's wedding to my stepdad was a freaking zoo. It started off by my aunt (MOH) losing the groom's ring in a creek. We were standing on a bridge waiting to go down the aisle and she grabbed one of my bratty cousin's for climbing on the side of the bridge, and the ring went flying through the air and plop! right into the creek. The ceremony was then delayed for about an hour while all the guests rolled up their pants and waded through the creek for the ring. It was never found but it made for some really great video footage. Then during the ceremony, the mic kept going in and out and doing that really loud screetch. It was horrible. It finally cut out during one of the songs that was being sung. Nothing went right for them.

This is a really hard situation. Granted if I were in your shoes, I would probably feel the same way since I hold grudges easily. However, I think is a very sticky situation. Someone is going to be upset and I think it would easiest to determine if it's worth upsetting your mom and risking her not coming. I would just consider that risk and determine if you would be happier with your mom there with bf in tow or your mom not there at all. Honestly, after going through the whole wedding day emotions, I think you would even forget that the bf is there. I felt like I was floating on a cloud and I was completely oblivious to everything outside of my hubby and I. I highly doubt it would impact your wedding much- unless he's an ass and would make a scene or something. You didn't hint at that though as a problem.

I know Edna. One more day! I hope I can make it through the work day!

Aww thanks everyone! This totally just made my week!

My sister got hers. She was in the first batch.

I know. Ann really should be on their payroll. I might have to talk to Nicole about that.

They have an iron though- just in case!

it was just us and our cab driver. hehe- we ran off to Vegas about a month before the wedding.

On a more serious note, I'm planning a barefoot beach ceremony as well, and I'd love any more advice you all have. Ask to order the dress hollow to hem if possible so you don't need to have it hemmed. Even if you need to have it hemmed, it was super easy! I thought this would be something to worry about and it totally wasn't. My dress hemmed up beautifully.

I'm 5' and had to have it hemmed. I meant to order it hem to hollow but that didn't happen- I asked for it but forgot to reaffirm this. I was too excited. It hemmed up nicely and I had a TON of lace. I was afraid it would look all crazy, but they really know what they are doing.

Yay! What a great wedding date! PARTY! I didn't know that's how you came upon the site Rachelle! That's awesome. I'm so glad you stuck around.

I didn't have this drama with my wedding- THANK GOD! But I do have people in my life who flake all the time. Even if it doesn't cost me a penny for them flaking, it's still upsetting. Totally makes you feel like you aren't important enough for them to show up. Anyways- people like this just suck.

Oh I was in a bubble- I hadn't heard of this til now. that breaks my heart! They had to kill her? Didn't seabiscuit have something wrong with him and they didn't kill him after all? That's terribly depressing. I'm so glad you made it through the work week though. That's a ton of hours girl. Shouldn't you still be sleeping?

Ours is late March through early April. The kids will be long gone before you get there. No worries!

Teachers are truly an under recognized profession! I think you all are the greatest for doing what you do!

Yay! You nurses truly are gems. I wish you all a Happy Nurse's Day!

Here's what I did- I went to David's Bridal because as all the girls have said, they have a HUGE selection. I figured out what styles looked good on me. Once you figure out the cut that looks best, then you can have fun and figure out what details you like best. I wasn't able to officially try on my dress, but I knew how the specific style looked on me. I ended up so happy with my choice.

I know that feeling of being overwhelmed! No worries- it will all work out. As for a beach and bonfire- I think you can definitely make that work. My wedding had both and I loved the bonfire! It makes for some great pics too! Good luck in your search! You will find tons of information I'm sure.
