it may not be because you have a small wedding. we all experience deleys in hearing back from out wedding coordinators. will you have guests or is it just the two of you?

I love the love picture. I had to go back to look at it. I didn't realize that was you behind it. i didn't even notice a person back there. I'm setting up my tripod & trying this right now. I'm using mike's headlight. thanks for the inspiration nathaniel!

I took the chunnel from london to paris. it was great. traveling by train was so much nicer than flying. the train was perfectly on schedule. you don't have to show up that early. it was really comfortable. a roundtrip is often cheaper than a 1-way. it's cheaper when you book in advance if you are doing an overnight, get a private room

I think it looks great. I agree with no champagne toast. I prefer to just toast with what I have. You see so many glasses go to waste. We had champagne, but only because it was part of the package. also, the reception night isn't the only night for people to party. It's not like a traditional wedding where you drive in & want a big party the night of the wedding because that is it. With a DW there are so many nights to take multiple shots & get wasted, so hard-core drinkers can take it easy for the night & drink a beer.

Sometimes I write "UPDATE" in bold when I update my top post. Just so it makes sense. I think editing the top post is a great way to keep a thread organized. Like if a question is asked & then gets resolved, it helps to put an update in the top post so people don't keep answering.

I bought the powder eyeliner this week & I really like it. Eyeliner irritates my eyes if I wear it too long, but this didn't at all. I was reading this little card that came with a sample & only some of the shades have zinc in them. The fairly light doesnt but the light does. could that be why people have mixed results? tara, in that picture i think the difference is because you face is closer to the flash. I wore bare minerals at my wedding & didn't notice any weird reflecting in any of the pictures. I was wearing the light one that does have zinc. at my brother's wedding there is a picture where my face looks white, but the photographer had his flash way up. he made mike's face pretty white too & he isn't wearing bare minerals.

You looked beautiful Becks! Love looks good on you :0) was it done with a sparkler? i thought it was a neon light. if that's a sparkler i want to try it now.

it's usually split with all the guests & the MOH or another BM organizes. I didn't want people spending money on mine, so we just had a house party. we had a great time.

the dog has a home. someone picked it up from the shelter last night. i talked to someone who was going by today to get the dog & they said it was already gone.

Someone is adopting the dog already. the owner was in a very bad situation & had to leave to save themself.

double post

I posted something on craigslist to find out where the dog currently is. someone from a rescue organization will probably pick the dog up. for all the terrible, mean people out there there are also some wonderful people who volunteer their time to find dogs a good home.

After many persistent emails and telephone calls, we have a non-legal wedding ceremony booked for November 25th, 2008! And now the real fun begins....the schedule of events. The ceremony is scheduled for 4:00 pm. I like the idea of having pictures and cocktails out on the beach immediately following the ceremony. I believe the cost to have cocktails on the beach is $9/pp? I'm thinking we'll just shuffle over to the Looky Bar - I love the photos of it - for a sit and another beverage and give guests the opportunity to return to their rooms if they'd like. From what I've read, the reception dinner has to be at 6:30 in one of the a la carte restaurants? Has anyone had a private reception dinner? I'd love to have it in the Looky bar but we haven't got that far in the planning to know if that's possible. We're a bit nervous about the food quality because we recently got very ill at the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya resort. Any comments on your experience with the food there would be much appreciated Now that the tough part of selecting and booking a resort are done, I'm started to get excited! All the best to all the CRM brides! Liana we just did champagne at the beach so it was free. no one really felt like drinking a lot. it was just a quick toast. yes, you can do a private event at the looky bar. if you download the zip file i have on the first post, you'll see pictures of the set up & a menu. i thought the food was good. i got a little tired of it after 7 days, but there was always something i enjoyed eating. i never got tired of the ice cream place I thought of another tip. the sports bar was usually empty. you could suggest everyone meet there one night & have a fun group time. it's not loud so it's great for talking. you do have to pay to play pool, but they have tables.

i knew the inner/ outer thigh machine would be on here, but I didn't expect to see the leg extension. that's one of my favorites. but, i keep the weight light & always isolate my hamstrings too so there is that balance.

for some reason I can still open it. this is what it said Free to good home her name is delighla she is fixed and shots are up to date she is 8 months old and is a tan and white cocker.. She would be best with a family with older children and no other pets. I have to leave tonight by 9pm so she will be tied up out side you can have the kennel and food toys all of it. Please give her a good home I live in Nashville. Out side of Rocky Mount. 115 village lane 462-5141 and then there was a picture of an adorable cocker spaniel. I'm talking to someone from a cocker rescue organization in raleigh. they can pick her up from animal control if they figure out where she went.

I would think the difference between the shirt & dress is that for a wedding it would be too much to ask you to wear a different color so the photographer makes it work. but when it's as easy as picking a different color top, might as well pick something other than white. it's not like a photographer can't make a white shirt look good. it's just an extra challenge. without that to think about, they can get the pictures that much better.

I didn't. It's not like your wedding is the only chance to get china. If you decide you want some in the future, you can always buy it later. I wasn't at all interested in having china. maybe someday I will be, but right now it's would be annoying to use the storage space for it. we are really casual & our fiestawear suits us much more than china. also, if your mom or grandma has a nice set you might end up with theirs.

Quote: Originally Posted by tvt couple more options (and yes, i'm one of those people that buys one shirt in a few colors!) I really like the pink shirt. The blue might blend in too much with the sky. Your backdrop will be a lot of sky, right? I do the same thing. If I find I really like how I shirt fits, I go back & get a few more colors.

Because if that's the case, I'm next.

BTW, I'm bookmarking her blog. there are some great pictures! this is who is also doing your wedding? I can't wait to see those.

I do feel limited by it though with how bright I can make something. But, again i'm a complete noob & she is a pro. like this picture is a really good picture, but I think the pink shirt looks better. eyespy photography Blog Archive img_5109-copy1.jpg The chocolate ice cream photography better too, but I guess it wouldn't be right to pick the girls flavor based on that I'm not even sure if I know what I'm talking with the white. I just try to avoid it. I took pictures of mike in a white t-shirt playing frisbee golf & i had wished I told him to wear something else.
