i made mine using the template that tami put on here. it was SO easy - all you need is printer-friendly scrapbooking paper and an exacto knife. they looked professional if i do say so myself!!

our pages were only about 4x6, so we bought glassine envelopes to put them in. i totally would have loved to find something like what the bbb registry came in, but it probably would have been too pricy.

how about these? paris hilton has a new line of shoes out, and as much as i hate to admit it, they are cute and well priced! these are $99 at zappos

welcome! i'm from nj and was recently married in pv. this is the best place to find info!

heidi's been spending a lot of time elsewhere... i say we find her, tie her down, and make her stay on bdw!

our wedding photog is from vancouver, but i don't know if he does bd photos. worth asking tho... Vancouver wedding photographer Rick Collins. Wedding and portrait photography in Vancouver, Victoria, British Columbia and worldwide.

how about: drink drank drunk making each line more opaque or lighter, or adjust the letters to look like drunk writing.

happy anniversary to you happy anniversary to you happy anniversary to melissa and johnnnnnnnn happy anniversary to you!

i confess that i just found this thread! Quote: Originally Posted by MelissaH And thanks to everyone else for making me feel like I'm not alone! Love you girls! definitely not alone! i've had an ongoing battle with depression and was on zoloft for about 4 yrs...until about 3 weeks ago...i realized that my depression and paranoia could possibly stem from my birth control pills ... so i went off of both. i'm finally at a good place in life- i like my job, love dh, etc. it's getting nicer here (weather-wise), so i think i'll be ok until next winter. the worst part of the year is february, but now i have a wedding anniversary to look forward to. AND NOW MY SEX DRIVE IS BACK! i can't get enough i also secretly hope that i get preggers...tho i drink enough wine to drown 8 children, let alone a fetus.

lol, i'm totally forwarding the name to my parents and in-laws who are looking for a vacation place...they'd get a kick out of that!

and they are perfect for the beach!!! my guests loved them. (did i sell that well enough for you kelly?) lol

omg, that came quickly!!! congrats and i hope your day is fabulous!

omg, that's crazy! i can't believe how calm and collected you are, tho... please let me know if you need any help with anything - my days are spent longing to get re-married just so i'll have a project!

LOL. i agree 100%!!!!!

adorable!!

It's in my top 10 for sure. jagged little pill was awesome, and i loved it...but her other stuff is incredible! btw, her new album comes out soon.

are you having a rehearsal? you can email or call the wc or hotel there and ask to have it set up for the day of the rehearsal....and mention that she absolutely CANNOT leak the secret....

ok a cruise is out...one of the women won't do water (and she's afraid of bridges) i did some research and came across secrets (also owned by dreams)...i think some of them won't want to do dreams b/c they've already done it...but different dreams, different experience!

i can't speak for cabo, but it was definitely beneficial in pv. we got the ultimate package (which i believe is different at different dreams resorts), and found an outside photographer and dj. dreams pv doesn't allow outside food so an outside caterer was out. also, if your guests don't stay at dreams, they'll (or you'll) have to pay per day to get in, plus pay to get back and forth from their resort to dreams. i guess it depends on what you're specifically looking for.

what about setting it up so they can renew their vows while you're there?

i dont know if i posted this, but we sent a $100 bouquet of flowers. we wanted to sent champagne, but we were told that the staff couldn't accept gifts of alcohol, and for some reason i felt a little funny giving cash...probably b/c i wasn't sure how much would be appropriate.

ok, i have a confession. while it was my first bdw meet, i had met people from another board ... an alanis morissette board. stop laughing. this girl from virginia actually came to my house and stayed with me for a week! tho it was initially awkward, it was an awesome time! meeting the bdw girls was easier for me b/c i brought my sis (it was too far to come alone)...i didn't know how to greet everyone, so i just said hi and introduced myself. we immediately had tons to talk about, both wedding related and otherwise. we didn't drink...though i plan to change that this time around
