beautiful! I know what you mean about wanting to do more. after doing our TTD, I just wanted to do more & more photoshoots. I wonder if 27 is too old to audition for america's next top model?

i just searched & couldn't find the free site. i'll keep looking...

i usually use a picture for a background, like abbie mentioned. when i do want a paper, i've been getting it from lumapix. i have 20 credits for upgrading so i've been using those. I'm not sure that i could share it with you. i think they are stuck in lumapix. I've seen links to good free sites. i'll look for them...

my husband hates having his picture taken. i was going to TTD without him & he told me he would do it. i was really happy before he agreed to do it, i had already made plans to trash with 2 friends. so I ended up trashing the dress 3 times. 1. with my husband the day before the wedding (it was a different dress). 2. The night of the wedding in the ocean. 3. the day after with 2 friends. I told all my married friends they were welcome to bring their dresses (or any white dress) and trash them with me after the wedding. we had a lot of fun with it & i love the pictures. I've seen girls trash the dress with their BMs too There are no rules!!!

pack something that converts a 3 prong plug for a 2 prong outlet if you have any 3 prong things to plug in. many of our outlets were 2 prong. I was told all the outlets were like that in mexico, but one in our room had 3 prongs. is sunscreen on your list? i enjoyed having a cd of music for the room. also, call your banks/ credit card companies before you go to tell them you will be out of the country. they might think it's suspicious activity & block your cards. oops, i just realized you are going to jamaica. maybe someone else knows if the outlets need converters there.

oops double post. I think i'll pull out our ornaments & hang them around tonight.

i've started collecting ornaments. I thought it would be fun for mike & i to get each other & ornament each year & write a letter to go with it. well, he found this tradition to be tourture. so instead we go together & buy an ornament each year. i've been on a bird kick getting these feathery birds. he got a silly little snowman that plays jingle bells. my future tree will not be fancy. it will have to be a silly, eclectic mix. i could never commit to one style of ornaments.

We don't decorate much for christmas. last year we didn't do anything at all. our place is small so we don't have room to store decorations and if we put stuff out it would be in the way. once we have a house, I'll definitly decorate. I do have one decoration out this year. When i was home for thanksgiving, my SIL was looking through my mom's ornaments. my mom only does a very small tree now, so all of the ornaments we've had since we were kids are kept in boxes. This will be my bro & SIL's first christmas in their house, so they are taking some of my mom's old decorations for this year. She asked if I wanted any of them. The only ornament that popped in my head that I really loved as a kid was a castle with topiaries in the front of it. I described it as this beautiful, magestic ornament. I used to lay next to the tree & stare at it. Any time I see topiaries, I get that warm & fuzzy holiday feeling. After looking through some boxes my SIL found it. Ready to see the amazing, magestic castle i remembered from my childhood? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . hmm, not as fancy as I remembered. But, i really liked pink as a kid so maybe that's why I was so drawn to it.

this is a tree my mom got for christmas in 2000. we always take pictures in front of it to see how much it is growing. I collected all the pictures I could find to compile them. This will be a page on our familiy christmas calendar this year. I'd like to add in a quote or a line from a poem about trees growing & families growing. if you find any good ones, please post!

you wouldn't neccesarily have to go to queens. if you could get to any place in new york you might be able to get it tomorrow. also an immediate family member can pick it up. is anyone in NY? If they are coming to the wedding they could bring it to you in jamaica. although check all this info for NY specifically. it varies by states.

they are $80 at target atleast that is what my mom said. i just looked online & didn't see them for that price. i wonder if she read the wrong price.

wonderful! glad you were able to make the switch. was it fun to cancel with Le Meridien?

my mom just called to ask if they work. she is thinking of getting one for my grandma for christmas. grandma has really thick carpet & it's always been hard for her to vacume

it might be different in different states, but in texas we were able to pick up a birth certificate instantly. it didn't have to be in the city you were born in.

nathaniel rocks

she is a forum member. although she doesn't post much. have you tried the search bar? i don't know of anyone who has hired her, but there could be some i missed.

Asking on my local knot board helped me find some great photographers. even if they don't have boudoir listed on their website, they might still do them. a lot of photographers don't post bd pics on their website. especially if they specialize in children. i think you can definitly do some mini cooper shots that don't look skanky. i'm still working out how I'm going to sneak away for bd pics. it's not easy. how do you get really well groomed & sneak away with a bag full of lingere and not make a guy suspicious? I'm doing mine out of town too so it's even trickier.

here you go http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21718

we used sinal tours (now called mayan landscape) you can get a 14 person van. it would seat 12 more comfortably. I'll look up the info...

a photographer had an issue before. she had shot 4 weddings in a row at ROR. When she went back the next time, they escorted her off the property even though she had a room at the hotel. so just stick to your story about the photographer being a friend. with them just doing the one wedding, it shouldn't be an issue.

I'd ask what the resolution is for the pictures on the CD. they might be something you can only view on your computer or they might be files you can make prints from. also, are there multiple photographers? some of the wording makes me think it's not just the one guy. you'd want to know who you are getting & see their work. and ask if you can see an entire wedding, not just the selected ones on the site.
