Spazz

running going to the gym reading playing with my nephews (my favorite!)

Mike is wearing khakis and a white button-down shirt, no tie. I like the casual look, but it's all a personal preference.

I guessed that in the Shout Box today...yeah!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED for you!!!! Details and pics ASAP please!

But then on the flip side, there are days that I think "three or four nights in Mexico for our wedding is going to cost them the same thing it cost Joe and I to go their stateside wedding..." I'm indecisive on this.. obviously. I went back and forth on this, it was driving me (and my FI and my mom etc) crazy. When I finally did ask one of my girlfriends to be in my wedding, I told her it would be "the most expensive wedding she was ever in". She made me feel better my saying that she would be paying to come and paying for a dress if she was in it or not, so it's not that big of a difference in price... a good way to look at it.

And I'm leaning toward zero because i don't want people to feel obligated to attend. It's a lot of money to go to a wedding anyway, let alone a DW, and then to be in it also! thats a chunk of change. I felt the same way. I waited til I knew that each person was definitely going to ask them to be in the wedding, that way I knew that they weren't going because they felt they had to, you know?

Sil! There are a lot of Mexico brides on this forum! I'm sure you'll find tons of information.

It's beautiful...perfect for a beach wedding!

What a beautiful story...Congrats!

Has anyone used these for their OOT bags? I'm thinking of ordering them, but am wondering on how much stuff I can fit in them and about their quality. FLIP FLOP TOTE BAGS

I like #1 better. You may be a little hot, but I wouldn't let that change your mind if you love your dress.

Our backyard was packed! I spent weeks cooking and freezing things like chalupas, empanadas, Mexican wedding cakes, "Mexican" meatballs, I had a taco stand, Mexican rice, all kinds of desserts (Pina Colada & Margarita cheesecakes mmm), lots of Tequila, lots of Corona, lots of Margaritas....there was soooo much food, and it was a looooot of work....but we had so much fun!! We had a pinata for the kids, my aunt's fiance borrowed a screen and projector from work and he played our wedding video right in the back yard for everyone to see....it started at 4pm and a lot of people didn't leave until 1 or 2am....soooo fun!! That sounds so fun! If I do end up doing anything, I would love it to be something just like that.

Great site...thanks Paula!

to the forum! You will find tons of information here. Happy planning!

The store I went to told me that I needed to order the dresses I like NOW even though my wedding isn't til May because it may get discontinued when the new collection comes out in the fall. The store said they are not notified as to what dresses will be discontinued until about a week or two before it happens. So, if you really like this dress, I would ask the store if they have any idea if this particular dress will be discontinued this fall, just to make sure that you still have time.

Have a great wedding Can't wait to hear all about it and see pics!

We always planned to have an AHR, but it seems like everyone that we want to be at our wedding is definitely coming to Jamaica, so I don't really see the point of stressing myself out and paying a lot more money to have an AHR. It would be different if my best friends or siblings couldn't make it to Jamaica; but since they're all there, I'm happy with just having a DW and no AHR.

Thanks for all of your answers girls! I don't care if FI wears one or not; I've just never been to a wedding where the guys didn't wear them (then again, I've never been to a DW!). It will save me almost $100 too...yeah!
