jajajaja

I bet she's a cutie. Hmm...I thought I heard Ava Marie on the radio this morning. I am deaf though so it could have been Honor.

You have PLENTY of time to plan everything. No worries on the time line. I can't speak for Cabo but I was married in PV March '08 and we had no spring break troubles. My aunt did got to Cabo the week before our wedding- around March 21st and she said spring break was CRAZY there. She said she will never go back again during that time frame.

I think that's a great insight. We often forget that things operate differently and I know it's so scary to be out of the country and rely that things are getting done. It's also a great reminder to tip your WC well for a job well done!

Oh I love your ring! SO unique. I absolutely LOVE your BM dresses. They are so adorable. All the wedding stuff looks great too. I wish I could have used white aisle. They are fabulous! Cant wait to see it all together in pics.

LOL ok so I puked on mine. I did have an airplane barf bag for the occassion though. I didn't mean to get that drunk. We had a fabulous co-party. We had a blast. Here's a link to the thread- http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t17461 We did this a week before we left though. No way in hell would I do it the night before the wedding. That's just madness!

DMV was so quick for me! Ill cross my fingers for you Jamy. I walked in and checked in with the "receptionist" or whatever she is. She immediately put me in the "fast lane" and I was at the front changing my name after like 10 secs. Don't forget to look cute because they will take your picture again. I forgot that they would do that so I look dumb in my pic!

If you want to still give her a chance to get through her own things, I would tell her that she is more than welcome to come to the wedding, but as a guest. That way there isn't the added stress of the wedding taking a toll on her, you, your FI or anyone else involved in the wedding. That is my 2-bits. I agree! And I must add- I've known some people who have gone through some really stressful situations- like you hope it never happens to you situations. They were NEVER horrible like that. I don't care if your left leg fell off- it doesn't give a person the right to treat everyone horribly. Granted, I know people in extremely stressful situations might bite your head off a time or two. But this is so much more than that. She is being vindictive- that takes some planning and some forethought. IMO, this is not something you can chalk up to "stress." Only you can decide how much you want to put up with and where you will draw the line. But I really hope you consider pushing her aside for awhile to deal with your own stressors. She obviously isn't capable right now of being a good friend.

A Little White Chapel Tunnel of Love, Las Vegas, Nevada We did this in a taxi. LOL It was $200 for Elvis. NO THANK YOU! We didn't want to spend more than we had to. They did like us so much they threw in a certificate holder and 4 postcards. haha

Great job Erin! You can do it! I lost 4 lbs right before we left and I had NO idea how that happened. I didn't exercise and I certainly didn't eat healthy. It must be all the nervous energy.

I wanted to be married by Elivs but that's expensive! I couldn't believe it! It's a good idea to start doodling the new name. I haven't mastered my new signature yet. I've been struggling remembering who I am. LOL

yay! We had so much fun doing it legal style too! Congrats on nearly being a Mrs.

I think you need to push your FI to deal with this. I doubt it will stop even after the wedding. If he doesn't stick up for you, it will probably continue. IMHO it doesn't sound like a civil sit down would solve much. To do things like that, they really have to dislike you. I doubt airing it all out will make it all better. They can continue on dislking you, but they need to at least treat you civily. There is a person in my family that most of us don't like. We do treat that person with respect but we aren't exactly buddy buddy with him. It can work out BUT your FI will have to play a major part in it working.

Oh that is the cutest little girl! Love those curls! I can't believe you went to work. I would have def called in. LOL

I agree with all the responses thus far but I wanted to add something else. It seems that you are having some guilt over this being your 2nd marriage and you feel that people will not consider it as special. That's ridiculous in my opinion. Those that love you will be more than ecstatic that you have found love again. It's so hard to bounce back from a divorce. You should celebrate that you were able to recover and find love again. If others have issues that it's your 2nd marriage and feel you don't deserve all the congratulations, then that's their problem. They are probably negative dirtbags anyways.

Oh that's gorgeous Amy. The sweetheart is so much more flattering and it's incredibly beautiful. I just love the sexy back too! You will be a stunning bride!

I hated dresses in white on me too. I looked terrible. I did a soft gold instead. I was nervous at first about the color, but it ended up pretty. I could see certain styles of dresses be a little overwhelming. There are tons of more simplistic dresses. Did you try on any of those?

Jackie- welcome back! AND congrats. You looked gorgeous! So tiny! Your BM dresses were so pretty and elegant. I loved how the flowers popped off them. Your tables looked gorgeous- I love the roses and the glass beads all over the tables! SO pretty!

Oh gorgeous Amy. I love all the intricate twists. Your make up is wonderful as well!

Very pretty. That's the same colors I used- with a little bit of brown.

Very very cute shoes Yari. Of course I love the dress too!

Great review Jackie. You make a very valid point about the wait time for photos. I think if you know how long the wait is from the start, it isn't as painful. It will still be painful, but a dull pain.

Ultimately that is up to you guys to decide. I wouldn't go in with a lot of expectations though so you won't be upset. At minimum, I would hire a really good pro for a TTD so you at least have some framers to bring home.

I hope it was everything you had dreamed about! You guys deserve a fabulous wedding. Now I can't wait for pics and reviews!

Wow! I can't believe it's been a year! It seems like not that long ago we were impatiently waiting to hear all about your wedding and bugging Leigh for teasers! Now you two have a beautiful baby to celebrate with. Congrats!

Gorgeous color- gorgeous dresses. I think it will flow and look wonderful together. No more worrying!
