I love pictures so much & he doesn't like to look at them. When we took our engagement pictures I was on the computer for hours looking at them. He glanced at a couple.

He hates seeing himself on video so I agreed I wouldn't show it to a big group & make him watch it.
  3. Alright, I did it. We are getting a video. Mike Cantarell Cancun Wedding Videos | Mayan Riviera Wedding Videographer | Miguel Cantarell - Home We are just getting the basic package from 3:45-5:30 to film the ceremony, mini-reception right after the ceremony (cake & champagne), and some of the shots of me & mike. The video arrives in 3-4 weeks. I'm really happy we decided to do this. I know I'll love watching the video & it will be great to have something to share with people who couldn't make it. And you guys of course.

They came in two hours early. When we asked the company why they didn't just cancel the trip, they said WE didn't ask them to. Huh? Who's supposed to be the experts here? The next two days the marina was closed because of high waves. yikes! was it captain ricks?

I plan to start packing this weekend. We'll take some extra montezuma's revenge antidote. I really hope we don't get sick before the wedding!

Stuff like this makes me reconsider and wonder if we should do the same. We'd save so much $$$... Have a great day!!! We are saving over $1000 by getting married before we go. There is a huge price difference in the packages at our hotel. A big reason why we are doing it this way is so we can personalize the ceremony.

Wishing you a wonderful & happy day! We were planning on late may, but things were hectic then. This week we are much more relaxed.
  9. http://www.upromise.com/pdfs/080530-...vb&cm_ite=1&ux I'm getting my brother's shower gift. My mom said when she went in the people in the registry department waved the shipping costs.
  10. I had this happen to my email in college. it was during such a stressful time too. I learned that there are programs that will try every word in the dictionary to log in. I didnt have any numbers in my password. I thought it was fine because the word I picked was so random, not like my pets name.

  12. Compact Travel Trailers - Small Compact RV - Compact Motorhome if you google one way motorhome lots of websites come up. they have more compact motorhomes that would probably be easier to drive & be cheaper for gas. The motorohome business isn't doing great right now with the gas prices so tehy might have a lot of availability so you might be able to negotiate a cheaper deal.
  13. are there one way rv rental places that work like u-haul? how many hours is the drive? I imagine there are some BDW girls along the route with a guest bedroom you could stay in.
  14. I've never spent near $1000. Probably because I'm pretty upfront about how much I'm willing to spend.
  15. Too broke to be your maid of honor - CNN.com This was posted on the knot today. I thought this was interesting because you don't see as much stuff from the perspective of a bridesmaid. After being a BM so many times I've learned to say no to things early instead of getting resentful of all the demands. I know my friends intentions were good, but they were just unaware of how quickly everything will add up in terms of money & vacation days.

  17. yes, getting very excited! We found after 6 to have the best variety for picking a color. Other lines had a couple of cute dresses, but not enough that we wouldn't all pick the same 1 or 2 dresses. All the ones in that picture are the same material. I found the one I want for $94 shipped with no tax. I tried some on at a bridal salon & compared my measurements to the after 6 size chart & feel pretty comfortable with it. I've ordered a BM dress online before & was really happy. I saved over $100. it did take 14 weeks though. Oh, they also have a big selection of colors. we are getting an olive green for the friend's wedding.

That is exciting. I wanted to do it the day before we left, but seeing many people do months before sometimes, I am thinking about doing it on 08/08/08, this is my birthday too, but it would be cool to have that date for our own little something special! Mikes brother in law & his BIL's daughter were born on friday the 13th in june. My brother wanted to get married on 8/8/08 because we grew up on farm road 888. But, his FI wanted a saturday wedding so they are getting married 8/16. mike wanted to get married on our 4 1/2 year anniversay 6/9 (today). our witnesses were busy that day & I'd rather have friday the 13th than 69.
  19. Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel 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 Ha Ha! That place looks great. Yeah, I think I'd pay $100 tops for elvis.
  20. Quote: Originally Posted by lucy106 Congratulations Morgan! That is very exciting! You guys are all making "legal day" sound so fun we may need to consider it. and I agree with Yari, zip it with the yummy mexican food talk some chips and guacamole sounds great but not exactly BL2 friendly! Oops sorry biggest loser participants! I'll stop nomming my future food at you.
  21. Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel Yep, it was Vegas for us. It was so much fun! 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 how much does it cost to be married by elvis?
  22. Quote: Originally Posted by jkcz0702 Have a great legal day! Glad your friend was touched by being asked. Yum margaritas! I asked her in the way you'd ask someone to drive you to the airport. I thought of it as more of an inconvenience. Then when she was so excited it got me even more excited. She asked if she can catch a bouquet & get a "witness ring." neither friend can make it to mexico so this will be a nice way for them to be a part of it. Oh, i forgot to mention- the date is Friday the 13th Good thing we are not at all superstitious. maybe it will make the lines shorter too.
  23. Quote: Originally Posted by Yari How exciting! I love that you are going to have Mexican food afterwards. Even if we weren't getting married in mexico we'd probably still have mexican food. We love chicken fajitas. And salsa, tortillas, beans, margaritas, bright colors...ahh I can't wait!
  24. Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel yay! We had so much fun doing it legal style too! Congrats on nearly being a Mrs. You made it legal in vegas right? We'll just be in downtown Durham, but there is an awesome popcicle shop we can stop at. I love having 2 days. One laid back legal day & then the big ceremony day. I think I might just spend the rest of the day doodling my new name.
