I've seen pictures where the bride & groom rode in on a john deer tractor.

I brought the book with me to work today so i can get started during my lunch break.

AFter dinner I was thinking of going to the beach party they have every friday night. I think that would be a great thing to do to get the full Jamaican experience! Atleast that is what Holly's sister did after her wedding (I love The Girls Next Door!) lol! And if we want to go to the Disco later we can, or whatever! so that party at holly's sister's wedding wasn't just for her wedding? definitly do that. it looked amazing. I was thinking they really put together an extravagant party for her wedding. Now I know that was just a typical friday night. who doesn't want a booty shaking contest at their wedding? seriously, their party looked like a blast. are you getting married at the same hotel? I would request rory (was that his name) the butler to be the one that married me. He was awesome.

not that I know of. It would also be too late to get on the pill. It takes a while to adjust & be able to skip periods. I hate when it overlaps with vacation, but I look on the bright side- atleast my boobs are bigger that week

They took my camera and deleted the picture I'd taken and then let us go so it wasn't a big deal, just a little startling i definitely second the reco to set up shuttle service in advance. We just kept our heads down and headed straight for the exit and weren't hassled, but I'm sure if we weren't bolting, we would have been approached and hassled. Once outside, its very easy to locate the tour company since they all have bright shirts and signs so you can hop right onto your shuttle. more to come tomorrow! 'night all! Thanks so much for doing this! Sorry you had a run in with the law.

I was looking for a picture of a Brandy Snifter so I could make this image for a party we are having this weekend And I came across this forum. Wedding and social event photography Forum: brandy sniffer?? - photo.net Hi all! My daughter is newly engaged and I'm taking on the task of hiring a photographer. This will be my wedding present to her and I want to surprise her with only the best! I'm finding it hard to find a photographer that will put her picture with her new husband in a brandy sniffer. I have even looked quite a bit on the Internet and haven't seen any posted on the websites of photographers who otherwise seem to be very talented. My daughter and I have our hearts set on this classic look. Thank you for any help you can offer! Anyway it cracked me up. Someone on the forum made this for her Here is the empty brandy snifter if you want to make your own classy designs. I also found this picture So post the most "classy" wedding picture you can find. I have one on my work computer of a bride with a camo bow & arrow. I'll post it tomorrow.

What a great dress!

My copy of The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby came in the mail today. I have already flipped through the whole thing. I can't wait to get started with it. It's a great book. There are step by step pictures to take you though everything. I enjoy a little silliness in a reference book (probably why I like the dummies books so much.) There is plenty of that in this book. A few things I was excited to see while skimming the book: How to make black & white pictures look better than just clicking "convert to greyscale." I knew the pros had a trick for that because there was just something better about their B&Ws. How to remove love handles- I will definitly be taking my muffin top out of some pictures How to touch up skin & do "hollywood highlights." I was also glad to see how he whitens teeth, removes wrinkles, etc. I have been doing lots of these things the hard way.

Quote: Originally Posted by starchild Yep, that's what it sounds like to me.

Looking at it from the outside in, I would say that's what it seems she meant. I guess she can speak for herself though but I think you're right Morgan. I just realized I said "sometimes we always." I guess I meant to say we tend to side with the member. But, that's probably because all the members are awesome & right 99% of the time. In otherwords, we are right sometimes always.

They came in! I love them. I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out.

Quote: Originally Posted by host ...what is this supposed to mean? I'll take a stab at it. The way I interpreted it was that sometimes on the forum we always side with the forum member. If they say they are mad about something, we tend to take their side. So if someone says "doesn't suck to get cheap wine?" we'd be more likely to say "yeah, that blows." I can't wait to see if I was close.

The font masters on this website have taught me to use a really scripty font & a really simple font. My invites were in OptimusPrinceps & Copper AltCaps or Copper AltCaps Expert. These wer suggested by Sarah. They were perfect. Before the font guidance I probably would have used Comic sans & times new roman I knew nothing about fonts.

Isn't there a new dreams in RM? That might be closer to the airport, but in a quieter area like DT.

Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel I like the paint versions of the pic. Maybe something fun would be to do a Andy Warhol version of it. Is that possible? I think you did a REALLY good job touching it up though. I haven't tried, but I don't think it would be hard. I'll give it a shot. Always fun to try something new.

Quote: Originally Posted by starchild LOL I believe our resident microbiologist can explain them best, but here's a snippet: Probiotics-Topic Overview I think they did a pretty good job with explaining it. If anyone has specific questions I'd be happy to answer. I love talking about bacteria. Too bad no one yelled, "is there a microbiologist in the house?" That would be cool.

Quote: Originally Posted by jean-marcus ive got one of those books somewhere. imagine what i could do if i actually flipped through it.. i have more fun just pressing buttons and learnign that way. haha.... if you find any cool tricks lemme know morgan. I haven't had time to do more than flip though it, but it looks great. Lots or examples & step by step pictures. I'll definitly share anything cool I learn. Is your hurricane picture photoshopped?

I just eat yogurt. It has active cultures.

Mine is at 4. Wedding 4-4:30, guests can hang out while we take pictures. There is a place that serves ice cream that I thought they'd enjoy at this time. Then dinner 6ish. Afterwards we'll just do whatever seems fun. We'll probably figure out the night before what bar/ activity we'd want to do. I'd enjoy just sitting by the pool or beach drinking a beer & talking to everyone. I think that's a great thing about a small group. You don't really need structure. I also don't want to stay up all night. Otherwise I know I'd pass out as soon as I hit the bed. So we'll probably head to our room around 8-9.

It's a third party plug in for Final Cut Pro. It does an excellent job, much better than similar built-in filters. This clip was a brief intro to the 20 minute version, shot in HD digital widescreen. I have my parent's wedding on VHS tape that was originally shot on 8mm film. We watched it at Christmas time with three generations together. It was amazing to see it, my parents had so much fun identifying all the people that were there on film. It was great to see my grandparents so young and full of life. That's cool. You even added in the sounds. I'm craving some wonder years. I need to see if it's on DVD yet. There was a hold up due to music licensing.

I thought you were talking about the office tv show. I was going to tell you about the office themed party I had for suggestions. I'll spare you the details now that I know that is not what you are looking for.

I paid for them sunday. This was the best deal I could find for what looked like nice locks. I plan on telling my guests ahead of time I got them so they don't buy their own.

That was a big reason why I wanted to buy off the rack. More likely to fit as is.
