rodent

Ha Ha! I have a new one Now I really must go because FI (errrr...DH) is yelling at me to get my ass in the kitchen and finish dinner. haha Married life- bleh, who needs it?

Congrats! You were missed http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t18361

I did my treatments from about 2000-2003. Maybe the lasers are better now. I am an ideal candidate with light skin & very dark hair. I did both my underarms & upper lip. A few possible problems could be that I was 19 when I started. I might have been too young. Hair growth can be hormonally driven. A laser might not be effective on chin hairs because they are controled by hormones. Also, the technology was newer then & the lasers keep improving. They also didn't space out my treatments enough. After the first year they realized they had been doing it too often. A friend of mine went in to the same place where I had my treatments & asked if anyone had problems like me & they said no that I am a freak of nature. Geez, that's a little harsh. I'm still fairly happy with the results. The hair is thinner. Even though I shave everyday, atleast it lasts. I used to have underarm hair back by afternoon. I also don't have the shadow I had before even when i was clean shaven.

there is a special laser for people with darker skin. I know some girls who used that one because they were really tan. They told me once I was too tan for a treatment & I really can't get very tan. I had a bad laser hair removal experience. I was told I was a perfect candidate because my skin is so lite and my hair is dark. But, after 13 treatments I stopped & still have to shave.

I've heard they are usually 2 prong so you might need a 3 prong to 2 prong adapter.

The trend is new here (as far as I know). maybe you can get it going in Austrailia. I think it's all about creating beautiful pictures. maybe there is a deeper meaning. I just love creative pictures & the TTDs from most weddings are my favorite.

Yay! You found your november rain inspired dress.

We thought it would be nice to do it in his hometown (Port Huron, MI) since Puerto Vallarta is my family's vacation spot. Has anyone dealt with this? THANKS! the rules vary by state.

We are not registered for china. Neither of us had any interest in it. We registered for Fiestaware. I love the bold colors!

way to go! I also didn't buy my school's invites. They were so expensive. I made some myself out of leftover resume paper.

I think it's a great idea, especially since he brought it up. Maybe he feels more comfortable being silly than taking it too seriously. Either way, you get your big first dance & he is happy too.

they have a little plastic cap. I also just tested one & it writes fine.

Sorry, I didn't read through all these so someone else might have said it, but as soon as this girl gets to junior high the joke will be "I want to get Honor." (On her) Parents really need to think about giving their kid a name that is just going to get them teased.

Exactly. The website is to showcase the pictures. I really like your layout. It's not at all busy so we can see what we came to see- the pictures. Someday I'll have Kubota actions For now I'm playing around with free actions I can download. Is it wrong to put photoshop actions on your bridal registry? I'm listening to my song again. My lab is coming up with theme songs for everyone so I pulled up your slideshow to play them "my song". We got a new member yesterday, so we started playing her a theme song when she enters the room. We like to make people feel welcome.

I agree, it really seems like intimitation from EDR to collect extra money.

THe other agents in my office have a bunch of different neat little things on their desks from all over the world! (I really wasn't much help there was I??) LOL I say go for it! - or the other option is to give her a favor from your wedding (if you are doing them) - we also gave our TA one of the personalized chocolate bars we had made up for our favors at the wedding. Lindsay So TAs like to put trinkets on their desk? If so I might get a little Mexico trinket. Or a wedding favor.

great, this is what I'll do then. I already sent her an invitation & she seemed to really enjoy that. TAs become a big part of a DW. One of my friends had told her about my brochures and said she was curious about them. So I sent her the whole invite with a "getting ready for mexico" brochure & the postcard that had her contact info for my guests. I always try to think of ways to show people who are doing a great job it's appreciated so i really wanted to get the thank you gift right. I might throw in a little trinket from mexico, too. But, does a TA get way too many trinkets?

There are no penalty fees for brining in any outside vendors (w/ the acception of food). I find it odd that only AI's are craking down on this. I don't think it's all AIs, but EDR in particular. My hotel is super nice about me bringing in my own photographer. I have checked several times about vendors & the answer is always I can do whatever I want. The have vendors, but it seems like that is more just to help someone who doens't want to find their own.

The best thing you could give me is a review of your wedding/resort - and show me a few photos when you get home!!! Lindsay Quote: Originally Posted by Tammy Host i say no...honestly as a TA referrals and your continued business is more than enough! I've been thinking about this lately too. Now that I have heard from the TAs, I'll probably stick with something like this then. I'll write up a great referral & give her some pictures that could help her plan future trips to the resort. And a nice thank you card. I have also collected a lot of info about the area. Maybe I can include that too. Does that sound good? A referal, thank you card and a word document about my hotel/ the area? Oh, and a wedding picture. I've become friends with my TA while planning so I feel like she is part of the wedding. She might even come. Then she gets an OOT bag.

Thanks so much Paul! Thanks everyone who got this conversation going & gave feedback. This will be very helpful for traveling photographers & brides on the forum.

The first couple took a little longer (~4-5 seconds). Then it got up to speed (2 seconds). Love the big pictures now! The little girls giggling at the couple are so cute. That's the photobooth couple right? I listen to the Morgan song all the time from their wedding slideshow. It's my theme song when I enter a room now.
