We always know. but anyways my dad this year got me a separate card only from his htis year and wrote something really sweet in there...so not sure if he's getting all sentimental because his little girl is finally getting married!! ha You know it's funny too because I'm already thinking of plans for his birthday because it's the day before our wedding in Mexico. Oh well..I guess that's just how he grew up. I think his family at least calls him but they don't make a big deal about birthdays in his family. But when you know how much it means to me you think you'd know better to at least tell me Happy Birthday and get a card. my dad often calls the week before my birthday. mine is the 15th of nov. but my sister is the 8th of oct. - exactly one month and one week earlier. so my dad screws up on a regular basis, forgetting whose is the 8th and whose is the 15th! i just tell him he's old and that's why he forgets
  3. grrr. i hate when they don't get it, it's not the actual card or present now, it's the principle! i say milk it. for a LONG time, like till next april 28th! anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    Hello

    lots of helpful mexico brides here!
  5. dreams in pv was really good! i'm a self-proclaimed 'foodie', as are hubby and the rest of my family. i loved all of the restaurants except the mexican one - but i was REALLY hungover when i ate there and not even in the mood to eat.
  6. tami, you looked so gorgeous!!! love the pic of the groomsmen! someone got a little sunburned!
  7. wow! lots of celebrity spotters! i have 3 that come w/ stories, but i'm sure there are more that i can't think of. i'm actually related to melissa manchester (ask your parents who she is, lol, she was a very popular singer in the 70s? 60s?) we young-uns know her as the real mom on blossom - the one that lived in paris. she's my dad's 1st cousin, making her my 2nd cousin. i met alanis morissette when she did the vagina monologues in the late 90s. we waited for her outside and took pics and chatted for about 2 min...but i was so dumbfounded that i don't even remember most of it. i've also seen busta rhymes' balls. yes, ladies, i have! i was at the hot97 car show a few years back (7 yrs??), and he and queen latifah were riding around on their bikes. queen stopped for a few min to say hi, and then left. busta left soon after, but lifted both legs off of the bike first and...um...let's just say his friends were hanging to the left that day.
  8. HA! that was one of our first questions once we were down there. we really didn't care, but were curious! gaby's answer was 'of course it will be in english!' so it was in english, but it was done by some REALLY weird chick. we asked her not to include god, but she just used every word but god - higher power, deity, etc. we personally thought it was hysterical. i'm trying to convince dh to put it on youtube to show people how weird it was.
  9. i guess for cinco de mayo? i was in my local target today and there was mexico-related in the bins; i'm still on the lookout for you girls!
  10. YAY! welcome and (soon-to-be) congrats!

  13. i didn't have a trial for either, but knew exactly what i wanted for hair and makeup. i knew that my hair would look fine in the chosen hairstyle, and wanted my makeup to be neutral colors w/ my eyes popping. if you've never had your hair done, i'd say go for it...if you don't want to spend the cash, you could get your makeup done for free at a makeup counter.
  14. we did one per room - except my single sister and our single gm who roomed together each got their own. my two cousins who shared a room shared a bag as well.
  15. um i don't remember. after dinner, i guess! i know we had speeches and first dances, but i don't remember where the cake cutting fell in there...
  16. were they forever stamps? (the liberty bell ones) if so, those will be valid forever...
  17. i love my bed and my husband poor thing was asleep when i came barging in at 1:30am...but i woke his sorry ass up! anyway i voted for the 5/4 and 6/8. it's getting to be wedding season round these parts...
  18. ok i need a definite here - i'm currently 1 1/2 hrs from home and would like to know if i should go home tonight, tomorrow morning or tomorrow night...
  19. we had our logo on everything from the menus to the tags on the oot bags...we had a drink menu w/ 3 orange drinks (our colors were white w/ orange). 2 were named after where we met and where we got engaged and the last was just an orange margarita. we also had fireworks during the reception.
  20. we had both sets of parents, my sister, his brother and his brother's gf. we really didn't want anyone there but figured that our immediate families would be really pissed if they werent there..i know that if my fam was there and his wasn't - or vice versa - we'd have a huge feud on our hands.
  21. totally up to you - i'm still in south jersey and i'm drinking so i'm not going home tonight. i'm in if others will be there!
  22. don't know how i missed this yesterday.....but i'm coming to help myself to your candy buffet!!! everything looks great!
