Angela...i was waiting for you review and you posted it so fast!!! You put so much time and creativity into all your DIY projects and I just couldn't wait... So your review was very informative and helpful! I just want to say that I love how your hair turned out and you looked so beautiful! Good info to know about dreams and Maye and any other vendors that I have the same of....

Hey corey...do you have pic of the mexican market bags?? Or a link? Sounds like a cool idea!

Congrats!!!!

I have Tomas Barron booked right now and have a $200 deposit down....he is charging me $300 per hour. I have been second guessing myself though and considering other options...I just got emails from both bradley fraser and gilda today....and it's $350...so it's reasonable!!!

I feel the same as you do. We are having 34 most likely and 40 max!! I had the same issue with the tables. I liked the idea of like a U shape table set-up so that you had people on both sides of to of the tables and then the wedding party and dates at the head one...I think because I like squared off things and not round. Well fi, sister, friends, etc...all think I should go with round tables! So I am now leaning toward that. As far as DJ...we are going to use IPOD...it's a little cheaper and we didn't think we needed the whole production for the small group. FI is all excited to pre-record announcements in the playlists...nerd! As far as spluring and packing stuff with me, etc...I'm still torn! I'm leaning more and more toward eliminating as much as I can. It all seems like a great idea to do all this DIY, etc...and I know it will make me feel good to have everything look nice, but really no one will remember it and care nearly as much as I do about it! So that to me isn't worth the trouble of hauling it all down there! Now I'm sure those who have done it would disagree and that is probably the hope I need! I thought about all the colored linens and chair covers and centerpieces ect... I have decided finally on all white linens, napkins, chairs with no covers. No flowers besides bouquets. I am renting centerpieces from wedding coordinator that will most likely consist of a hurricane w/ sand and a pillar and then I will wrap a Sugar starfish around each one w/ raffia. I will bring in my own votive candles and I will print up menus in my colors to place on the tables and that is how I am going to incorporate color! I still want to do oot bags...but i'm so concerned that our group of people are so different in their likes and dislikes and I know that isn't what it's about, but I don't want to spend money and haul down there if they aren't even going to like it, use it or appreciate it...so the practical person I am is contemplating a more practical alternative which I am stumped on right now... That's it for now because I have wrote a book...OMG! Sorry! But hopefully it helps a little...I am a simple person anyway so I figure I should keep to that and no matter what little things are added to the day..the big thing is all that matters and that is that I am marrying the man of my dreams!!!

Congrats!!! I'm very excited for you and I love the name you picked out!!

Thanks...Jan 3-6, 11-13, 17-20, 24-27...basically any weekend in January unless it's cheaper during the week? I still really want to go for a site visit but only if it's a great deal!

hey Tammy...if I remember...i might shoot you an email tomorrow...I don't know if we can do december because of school...but how much more is it in january?

Great review!! Thanks!

Oh that's a good idea to take away the bonus points...I have to admit that I haven't been keeping track as I should be but I know I haven't been overeating really!! UGH! Yeah I guess 6 lbs for one month is good and slow which it should be to keep it off! I did bad this morning though I went to the grocery store before work and bought lean pockets breakfast...I just ate 2 of them...I was craving something bad for me...it's okay though it was 3 points each so 6 points total...I can still do good the rest of the day!

Very beautiful!!!

Here are some websites I couldnt have done it w/o: Dining Out Guide with Weight Watcher Points, eat right & lose weight! Dotti's Weight Loss Zone - Food Lists, Menus & More Weight Loss - Restaurants - Fast Foods - Nutrition Facts - DietFacts.com One Point Snacks (1 point snacks)--secrets of healthy weight loss with weight watchers point list. Wow!! Thanks for the info!!! I have been MIA for a few weeks. I started on 10/8 as I said I would and I am down about 6 lbs...but it fluctuates between -5 and -7 lbs!! I'm so annoyed because I just can't seem to loose more and get past that!!! I am guessing it's because of the lack of consistent exercise It is just so hard to squeez it in! I am going to Join the gym after december when I graduate but I seriously don't have alot of extra time!!! Does anyone have any exercise secrets? CMW: Did you exercise to help you loose the 30 lbs?

test...is this post working?

I love the dress!!!! It has the material that I have decided I want...I think taffeta?? anway...it looks great on you!!! Who is the designer?? I love the ones that bunch up like that or gather should I say!!!

Beautiful pics amy...I love your dress!!!! The villa seemed to work out wonderful! Villa Grande is what we wanted to do way before I even found this site...when we first thought cabo!!!

The store I tried it on at said $870 so it's about the same. Jay's Bridal & Special Occasions - Jay's Bridal & Special Occasions I am not sure if this is a good site though. Best bridal prices also has it available online and I have heard great things about this site. I am not sure how much it is though because they want you to call. Wedding Dresses | Prom Dresses | Bridesmaid Dresses | Bridal Gowns | Bridal Store Online | BestBridalPrice.com They had my dress for $250 cheaper than in the stores plus most dresses include free shipping. Wow..that's alot less!! I will have to check it out. I emailed one of those online stores last week and asked if they had it and they said they only carry the maggie sottero line, not the sottero smidgely line? But it must not have been this site because they show it on their site...so thanks!
