Very cool product. I'm glad to have someone I can ask all my sand ceremony questions to Do you pour the sand in at the same time or do you have to alternate to make the stripes? Is it hard to keep the sand from getting mixed together on the flight? Do you have to take special care with holding it upright? About how long does is take to fill the frame during the ceremony?

geez, he is determined to take bad pictures at all of our weddings

Great review! I want your photographer at every event I'm at from now on, too.

I think they joined a while back so their karma came from how long they were a member. I think you have figured out the karma mystery. Thanks!!! I can now go to bed

Now I have 33 reps, but still 3 karma. So to test if karma was about donating points, I went on a point donating spree. Still 3 karma. Maybe you get karma every time you type "I will help you with your problem." I will help you with your problem I will help you with your problem I will help you with your problem I will help you with your problem I will help you with your problem I will help you with your problem I will help you with your problem how many karma do I have now?

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t2969-7 There are some pictures here. I know some brides on the forum are planning to wear one, but they haven't had their weddings yet. Katherine Heigl looked beautiful in hers, so I imagine they will become more popular again.

It's all a big mystery to keep us glued to the BDW forum! thanks! I think you can only rep the same person so often.

OK, I'm pretty convinced that repping has nothing to do with karma. I've been repping like crazy & have received many reps in the last few days. I went from 3 rep points to 33. Yet my Karma remains at 3. Currently, I think karma is about donating points. I'll be on a donating spree & then report back.

That is just completely stupid. Really, does she think luck has anything to do with when you get married? i have friends were were married 4 years ago today. They planned it that way so they could celebrate big every 4 years. They are in Paris right now. I thought it was a really cool idea. They have definitly not had 4 of their 10 years of bad luck.

I don't tend to like the traditional wedding things, but for some reason I've always enjoyed the bouquet toss. I'm always up there on the front row in my guarding stance. I was in a wedding in janauary & went up there. My friends said I don't get to because I'm engaged. I don't really know the rules, but I knew it was my last chance to catch it so I went up there. I won't be doing it at my wedding though. Same reasons. I won't really have many single guests. plus I want to keep my bouquet in my room the rest of the trip.

When I was in cancun we did this. We booked it through our funjet rep ($65). They took us in a bus to where we rode. it might have been a 30 minute ride. It was cool to get to see more of cancun than the hotel zone. Take water! We didn't & it was really rough. They sold bottles eventually, but I didn't have cash. They gave us the option of riding a horse into the water. They also took pictures that were about $10 each. Then we went back to the stabels & they fed us the best mexican food. Some people played donkey soccar. It was a really fun trip. There was an incident when I was trying to get off the horse. He took off running & my foot was hung up on the stirup. He drug me into the stabel. I looked up & my friends were just standing their taking my picture.

That was so funny!

And Morgan you totally rock for helping everyone out - This is for you: I think it was a collaborative thing. I suggested the "what's your job" idea because I was excited to show off E. coli Morgan I think a lot of people's ideas were merged into one super fun siggy theme.

Looks like it worked to me

Email it to me & I'll put it on there. Or use the upload website I've been using. It's free.

The resorts often have a different theme everynight. When I was in Cancun our hotel had karaoke one night, casino the next. Just take advantage of the entertainment already at the hotel. That way guests don't feel obligated to participate & you don't have to worry about/ pay for any of it. Just being in Mexico @ one of the great resorts is fun. You don't have to make fun happen, it just will.

Quote: Originally Posted by Stormsong I don't have a template...i only created the pic in powerpoint and saved it. Do you want a better version of the pic? You can IM me if thats what you mean. Otherwise...um...template....MORGAN HELP! <laughs> Just upload your powerpoint file. That way if anyone wants the picture, they can just print from the file. I designed mine with 4 pictures on a powerpoint page so they could easily be printed off.

Also, am I the only woman who is questioning the automatic practice of giving children their dad's last name? Am I crazy to think that it should be equal or at least there should be some recognintion that it can go either way. And on another note, if I were to trace a family tree I think its more accurate to follow the maternal line since you know 100% that the child is the mothers but things happen and you never know for sure if some women along the line stepped out... That is so true about family trees! The only benefit to tracing men is that all men in a family have the same Y chromosome. So you can tell if any two men are related. But, when the system was set up to use the male name this wasn't known.

too bad I printed & taped mine already. I want to use a mix of them all now. So cute!
