Congrats and welcome back!!!! Your pictures look perfect!!! I love your colors. Did you bing the blue color fabric for the gazebo? Or was that provided for you? If you dont mind me asking how much did the beach gazebo decor cost?

Ohhhh I love this siggy pic theme! Everyone's is sooo cute! I'm gonna try to do this one...... Great idea!!!

Too cute! I love how you added the Spanish for Dummies book!

Thanks so much Lizz, I was thinking about doing something like this, but I was feeling very lazy so I was like......it might get done......No it will be sooooo much faster since All I really have to do is add my little thing here and there. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!!! WOW!!!! Thanks for the review, like all of the other girls I'm getting more and more excitied. Do you mind sharing your pictures? I cant wait to see them!!!! I'm also interested in Lizz's questions. Really I dont know how I would feel, If I didnt have this site and you girls!

I'm getting married at the RIU. I wanted a family resort, so family members could bring the babies and kids :-). Price was also a big factor for me. The RIU (at least when I was researching) had lower prices than the beaches resort (to me Sandals/Beaches tended to be a bit high). Plus RIU was one of the newer resorts!

That just does not seem right. That they can go thru something that personal. That would be like some one going thur your PDA that (most of the time) has very private/ life information..... It just does not seem right.......

I think that is a very cute idea! Plus it's extra special to you!!!! You're guests will Love it!

I agree that we all should write a letter to the HO expressing our extreme frustration and disappointment in this policy. This may not help the '08 brides but may make a difference to the '09 brides and beyond. **JUSTUSTWO** May I ask which photographer you are using? I think this is a great idea and I would be willing to do it. I'm not using Michael and I'm not paying a fee (I've decided), so we will see how things go. My favorit cousin is a photographer,and she is amazing. She is going to be taking my pictures.

Here is what I would do: 1~ write Carolina, and ask her specifically about the photography restrictions. 2~ print out her email back to you and take it with you, you may want to print out a couple of copies. 3~ ask Carolina if this Michael bothers you, your guests, or your photog, what should you do... ie. call her, call security when this Michael character come up to bother you... hand him her email response allowing the outside photog. I think thats great idea. I've already email Carolina, when I get a response I'm going to ask #3. Once I have all that info for my records I will feel alot better.

A local photograher is allowed at fee of uS200 plus the cost for the day pass. This fee is payed to the Photoshop for the breach in contract. If you shall require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

WOW !!!Thank you so much for sharing them! You and your honey look picture perfect.

congrats!!! I'm thinking of ordering the same dress in pink. Can you let me know what they are like when you get them? I really like it, but I'm nervous. Thanks

WOW!!!!!!!! Your pictures are gorgeous! You have totally gotten me sooo excited!!!! I kept hitting the refresh button hoping for more J. After seeing your pics I think I’m going to skip the runner too…. And I am definitely going to do a reception at the Seagrape….. Again, WOW it looks perfect, they are totally inspirational destination wedding pictures. By the way where did you get your BM dresses?

I voted #2 I really like it!

I've been using them for about a week now.... I've been going to a trainer who works with about 6 girls at once. We are working with a 35 pound. It's only been a week, but I can tell you that first day kicked my butt. I think its working, its a hard work out.

I remember it (I think I actually saved the link) but the cost was a bit more than what I was willing to pay. This one is $109- a lot cheaper, I just don’t know about the hike in the middle of the dress. It looks like it goes up in the middle in the front and back….

None of the Victoria's Secret stores up here have their clothing line. I would love to actally have my BM try it on... I might just take the leap (I dont know) I really want something they will wear again. Quote: Originally Posted by Melissa G I like it. It would be great because they would definitley be able to wear it again. Does it come in a lot of different colors? It comes in 4 colors: Paradise pink Sour cherry Ultra teal black I have a coupon for Victoria's Secret.... but it expires tomorrow 2/13 :-( , maybe they will send me another (I can only hope).
