jajajaja

So what does that all mean? LOL I read that they are cutting some flights, but then Horizon will pick it up instead..right? THat's the same company!

That is HUGE drama. I actually feel most sorry for the little girl in this situation. Divorce is confusing and once you throw in "boyfriends" it's even worse. I have a friend that lost a lot of respect for her mom because once she got older all of those confusing times finally made sense. Like- mom's "friend" when she was married to dad later turned to be step-dad after the divorce. It's oblivous to the kids when they are young, but once they get older they figure it out.

Welcome back Sarah. I knew you were gone! Was it for a good reason?

Oh haha- great story. I mean aside from the fact that 2 people got hurt. Jen, I twisted my ankle right before our wedding when I was walking our dogs. I saw a man talking VERY loudly to 2 women. I was eagle eyeing him to see if he was yelling or just talking really loud. I then fell off the curb and totally rolled my ankle. I got huge and puffy. DH was so cute- he was really concerned that I really hurt myself as I sat in the middle of someone's driveway laugh crying. I had to limp my ass home while DH tried to half carry me. It was ridiculous and I'm still pissed at that man. It's his fault I was gawking!

Wait- BUTTER! Yuck. I'm so glad I resisted temptation the last time I saw it. Although I'm sure I didn't order something better. LOL

Oh I am so sorry. My heart truly aches for you. I agree with most of the suggestions- take a break from planning. You have a long time to figure it out and in all honesty, I probably could have planned the whole thing in 3 months- most likely less. Return to the wedding plans once you have had time to grieve and heal. You know your dad will still be with you and he probably can't wait for Hawaii.

Gorgeous pics! Everyone looked so happy at the wedding. I love the pics of the bride walking down the aisle- you can see the sheer joy in everyone.

I hope you stick to your guns and continue to say no. It's one thing to watch bratty children, but completely another to watch bratty children of ungrateful parents. No wonder the kids act the way they do. The parents are not teaching them to be polite and respectful since the parents obviously need that lesson themselves.

The sandwiches looked kinda good.

And we could go crash some of these $100,000 weddings and put pink flamingo's all over the place. LOL!!! Oh that sounds like the best time EVER. And I'm not kidding. We visited NY for 3 days and spent parts of our vacation in Philly and surrounding PA cities. We have talked about going back to NY for a longer stay and when we do, I'm calling you girls up to paint the town pink (LOL- you know, with flamingos!)

Spring forward, fall back. 4pm on Oct. 25th would be 3pm on Oct. 27th.

That place looks great. Thanks- it truly is a gorgeous place. Lots of Las Caletas brides on here so there are a TON of other pics as well. Yes, it's not a resort so you don't stay there. You just get to be there for the whole day and then your guests join you in the evening. It's an awesome experience and I'm so happy we chose LC. It has so much bang for the buck.

I LOVE the way she tied the sash. It's so elegant looking.

2pm also seems like it would be HOT. Isn't 3 generally the hottest parts of the day? I think girls on here have made just about every time frame work though. As for the 4 day thing, I think Trisha thought maybe you were from the US. If it's going to be a legal ceremony for you, I'm pretty sure MX requires you to be there 4 days before the ceremony. Meaning if you got there on Sat, you couldn't get married until at least Tues (that is if they let you count Sat.- some do, some don't I believe.)

Oh I get so much crap for being on BDW. I decided to only do it at work and when he wasn't home. Now my work is suffering. I'm waiting for the ultimatum from my boss- BDW or WORK. I wonder what would win.

Most hotels have a symbolic option and legal option. Choosing a symbolic prevents you having to pay for the judge, blood tests, etc. I think we saved nearly $600 to forgo this. We went to Vegas instead. LOL

That's wonderful. It teaches us a powerful lesson to always keep our heads up. There's not point in sulking because you never know when it's going to turn around! I'm so happy for you both!

haha I hope the massage is from a Best Friend, not a Boy Friend. All these acronyms are killers.

haha BDW is like therapy. I love it here. We save so much money.

I think NYers are crazy- period. LOL no just kidding. I had a fabulous time when I visited NY. Granted, I don't think I could afford to live there, but I sure would like to try for a bit.

You know what's sad, my family thanked me for the wedding (specifically my grandma) because she said this is the first family wedding she hasn't had to work at. Granted, only 4 grandkids have gotten married, but seriously, I think that's sad. Don't make grannie scrub the dishes and cut cake!

I don't think we really have the right to judge anyone Jen. You know what works for you guys. You know the limitations you have. I WISH I didn't have any, but I do/did. I loved my wedding but sure, there are a few extras I would have LOVED to have had but I have to pay off my debt sometime. No way in hell I could have justified spending more than my means and accumulating more debt. No good. By the way, if you decide to do your wedding over, I would love to be invited.

Our registry sucks too. I let Steve have some fun so we have a Wii and an XBox 360 on there. I had to keep him entertained somehow!

We put it on our website. We didn't really want presents though. I felt bad that the people we didn't invite would buy us gifts or the people that went and spent a ton of money would buy us a gift. We haven't gotten many presents subsequently so that's good with me.

Muahaha I did this too. My excuse was so that when I shared the photos it made sense to others. LOL I also put all our vacation photos in order, including uploading all of our friends pics and fitting them into the timeline with mine. Geez- I think I need a life.
