They are both cute.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hang in there sweetie.

It sounds like a great trip, but I must ask-no pics

Very cute, and creative!

Your pictures are beautiful! I love the dance video.

Drunk, puking stories are always the best. I'm sure I will have a few of my own to share soon.

Beautiful pictures!

That is a beautiful bracelet! I just checked out that site, and I think I found a necklace and earrings that will go with my dress. Thanks for sharing!

I need to go to Hobby Lobby.

My friend and I did this when we went to Cancun, but it didn't have the pirates when we went. The staff on the boat was crazy though. One guy stole my shoe and I didn't get back until we docked at Isla Mujeres. It was a lot of fun though, until I puked on some girl's foot. I felt so bad! We were about 5 minutes away from the dock on the way back. The Fat Tuesday's bar where you get on the ship is a lot of fun too. They had really good fruity drinks in a yard cup. That could have possibly caused the puking at the end of the night now that I think about it.

There is no way I am posting it for the world to see unless I magically look AMAZING in two weeks. Ditto. I look horrible in my pic, and there hasn't been too much change since then. Unless you want to photoshop my face on say Jennifer Aniston's body, that would be the only way I am posting a pic!

Those are really cute.

I'm trying to plan a surprise trip to visit my family in Fredericksburg, VA over Memorial Day weekend. My cousin lives in Aylett and she knows I'm coming, but no one else does. I know she will want me to stay with her, but I don't want to inconvenience her. The problem is I don't know where to find a hotel. I've always flown into the Richmond airport when I have gone in the past, but always stayed at my aunt and uncles when I came in. Any suggestions?

I didn't even know we had an earthquake, until my alarm woke me up this morning and they were talking about it on the radio. How crazy!

I would just use whatever leftovers you have. Don't stress out about it. They should have RSVP'd.

We got FI's suit at Kohl's on sale for $139.99, and I ordered the tie from Ann Taylor. My MOH and flower girl will both be wearing dresses in this green color(from Ann Taylor). My BM will have a pink dress and we're hoping she'll have some material leftover to make a pink sash for the flower girl. I also ordered green ties for both dad's. I think the GM and ring bearers will just wear khaki pants and a white shirt, but we haven't decided yet.

You looked beautiful! I love your dress, and your hair looked awesome! The BM dresses are really cute too, very pretty green color.

I voted vacation since I am looking for a place to go over Memorial Day Weekend.

Oh, how fun! I love Irish weddings. My friend got married in Ireland and she had the celtic knot design embroidered on her dress. It was so pretty.

Everything looks great. Have a wonderful time!

At first they were going to be separate parties but we wanted to spend as much time as possible together and didn't want our guests & their dates to have to separate (it was the first night some of them arrived). In the end it was loads of fun and I'm glad we got to share the fun together I suggested that to my MOH, but she is arriving the day before the wedding and there will be too much going on, and I really don't want to be hungover the next day. If she were coming in earlier that would be ideal since everyone will be together anyway. I like the comedy club and party bus idea. I looked into one of those for my friend's bachelorette party and it was like $1600 and that was just to go to one location! We didn't have a huge group so everyone, and some girls didn't have a lot of money so they didn't want to be included in the dinner and transportation so we couldn't get the price down low enough to make it work for the rest. I didn't contact any other places to see if there were cheaper ones though.

Thanks for the details on the food, and looking for the gazebo. I have seen pictures of one, but I think it is the one at the Del Mar.

I thought I had seen a post on this, but when I searched I couldn't find anything. Has anyone had a combo bachelor/bachelorette party? What did you do? I initially didn't want a bachelorette party because I didn't want the girls to spend any more money since they are already spending money to go to Mexico. However, they are insisting we need to do something. FI didn't really want a bachelor party, but his brother thinks he should have one. So we thought maybe we should just do something together. Neither of us are into the whole stripper/club scene so we are looking for alternative ideas.

The decorations are so cute. I love the idea of the lei game. I just bought some at the dollar store since I figured the bridal party could wear them at the shower, now I may have to go back and get more.
