Chiquita

We had our wedding in Maui. Yes, it could get expensive. We all found really good flight deals to get there and I made sure to let people know once we did find a good deal. Alot of our single guests stayed together in a condo to make it even cheaper. Also we treated our guests that came to a bbq the night before the wedding, a reception dinner at Seawatch the day of the wedding, and a luau the following evening in Lahaina. We wanted our guests to know how much we appreciated them coming to see us get married. Plus they got really awesome OOT bags. Granted we had only about 20 people there total, but I think those things we did for them made it a bit more reasonable for people to come. Alot of them made a great vacation out of it. I think if you are able to be on top of deals for your guests and let them know as soon as you see one, it can make it quite an affordable vacation for someone. OR get a TA to do all that for you Good luck and don't feel too guilty. The people that want to be there to see you get married will be there

Shelley you looked soooo gorgeous! Everything looks perfect! Can't wait to see more pics

We had a luau here for all our guests the day after our wedding. The food was fabulous and the dancers were terrific! Another good one is Old Lahaina Luau which I think is a tiny bit cheaper. Seawatch is where we had our reception and you cannot go wrong there either

Yikes I was avoiding twitter as well. Hmm. I may change my mind now!

Sloan I loved your review! Your sense of humour is awesome Glad you had such a great time!

Yay Shelley!!! I cannot wait to finally hear all about your wedding day It will be perfect for you!

I having been watching this religiously and we (hubby and me) are totally sick of Joan and Melissa Rivers. Thank god at least one of them is gone (possibly both). It's probably hyped up a bit for tv ratings, but seriously.. does Melissa really act like that? She's a 40-something year old baby!!! Puleeeeze. I think Annie is going to win. I don't think it even matters who goes up against her.. heh

Wow Shelley.. I'm so excited your day is finally here! I LOVE the reception dress and your cake.. they are fabulous. You were totally a DIY inspiration when I first joined up and I can't thank you enough for that The coffin pic is awesome and so is your bracelet. I hope you have the most perfect wedding ever, you totally deserve it. Congrats to you and Amos!

I would totally second Dollarama. I bought a BUNCH of stuff there for OOT bags and the quality just looks better than other dollar stores out there

I spent 1000+. I did laser hair removal on underarms and bikini and that alone was over $1000. Not to mention the tanning and manis/pedis and makeup etc etc.

Holy smokes Andi.. great planning thread Everything looks fantastic!!

Yes Bella annoyed me in the third book.. and well as Edward and Jacob.. haha. I think Eclipse is my least favourite out of all of them.

Those are totally cute!! I'm going shoe shopping today in fact and will probably go to an Aldo They have great stuff!

I'm with Alyssa on this.. I don't think it's a big deal he goes fishing. My FI went surfing with ALL our male guests the morning of our wedding day. I was off getting manis/pedis with the girls and getting our hair done etc. I say let him spend it the way he wants.. it's his wedding day too

I'm not sure what I thought of Donna in the episode last night either. I agree with you Jessica there was something slightly annoying but can't put my finger on it. Grrr.

I love my facebook app (since it's blocked at work) and Sol Free.. I'm constantly playing the Baker's Game. Heh. Midomi has come in handy when I hear a song and want to know who sings it.. and I just downloaded the CatchaMouse app to try.

Ana you looked so fabulous and your review was great I'm excited to see Juan's pics!!! Congrats on your Mrs status

They are filming New Moon here in Vancouver and surrounding areas.. I've been on the lookout for any of them but so far no luck!!! Boo!!

I have my itunes running from the moment I get behind my desk until I leave at the end of the day. I would die if I couldn't listen to my music!

Here's our "Twilight" thread.. heh heh http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t30018

Here is the brand I give my babies: Wellness All Natural Cat Food - WELLNESS® Lots of info on the website for cats and dogs!

Our vet also sells the Science Diet brand which my friend buys. It's pretty good I think

My pet store told me that basically any pet food company that can have big commercials on tv (or big marketing campaigns) is crap food and they should be avoided. I read all the ingredients carefully on the packaging before I buy cause you just never know!

For our ceremony, the minister took both the wedding band and the e-ring.. he gave my hubby the wedding band to put on first and then my e-ring so I had them both on and I didn't have to worry about taking care of my e-ring.. the minister knew exactly what to do I wear mine closer to the heart! Quote: Originally Posted by Gail so this may be stupid queston but do you wear ering for ceremony? then band would be on top?? After that, I will wear band w ering on top

Yay Kayte!!! Hope your day is perfect! Can't wait to see/hear all about it when you get back
