Spazz

Mike so does not care about his ring. He said he really wants to just get one at Target, Kohls, etc. and spend $100, so I'm happy about that! I did see one at Diamond jewelry,wedding ring, engagement rings, jewelry diamonds, gold band (Tungsten) that was so cheap, so I may just get that.

Your bach. party is 2 days long so it would be nice if you said hi or something!!!! Mike does that every time he goes anywhere (never calls)....soooo annoying!

We seem to be evenly divided, so I'm not much help but I like the St. John ones better!

I'm working with a VERY tight budget and every time I mention any additional cost he says "What are you talking about ...upgrades...I thought everything was included... isn’t this a all inclusive resort?" He just does not get it, so I'm just trying to give him a total and kinda skim over each individual cost. But I dont think that is going to last much longer. The Plantation is $250 per hour. I don't think it includes the dj and open bar though. You should email Chandlyn and ask her if it is available!

I'm thinking positive thoughts for you.... Rain rain go away!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by MoBride I am having my Welcome Cocktail party at this beach bar. It is called Seagrape. Our party is from 8-11pm for $10.00 per person. That bar usually closes at around 5 or 6 pm so the cost is to have a bartender there and keep it open when it's normally closed. I will be back from Jamaica on November 13 and I'm sure I will have lots of pics of the cocktail party to post so you can have a better idea of what it looks like. I think it's a great alternative to the disco though! I'm doing the same thing as Mo...my welcome party will be at Seagrapes. I think that sounds like a great idea to have your reception dancing there. Dancing on the beach will be great! I'm sure Mo will have so much info and pics for you when she gets back, don't worry!

Welcome back and congrats! Your pictures are great, I can't wait to see more. I'm glad you had such an awesome time (with the exception of the starfish).

Brittney, I'm so sorry you're going through this. At least she is ok for now and she admitted she has a problem. Just keep calling/texting her so you can keep an open line of communication with her. Hopefully, she will come back soon and you can help her get some treatment.

If so, email me your resume and I'll pass it along.
