Awesome review!! I actually have some questions and ideas to present to Sandra for our site visit!!! Oh yeah, and I'll be sure to get my mani/pedi before I leave! I love the first B&W pic!

WOW! Everything looked fantastical!! Your table decor was so amazing and worked so well with EVERYTHING! I also might be stealing your shoe idea....what was in the baskets on both sides of the shoe mat? Congrats again! You are a beautiful bride!

I honestly am not sure of the designers right now! I'm so sorry I wish I knew.....I'm pretty sure the first one was a vineyard collection from that designer so that may be able to help a bit! I think I'm in love with the 1st one as well! However, my original Nicole Miller (bows on back, not pictured here) will be the winner...I think...I need to get pictures taken it it still...I've tried it on before but forgot a camera. I'm a bad Bride to Be! Perfect time for viewing those photos though...HOT YOGA, GYM, and HIKING...here I come BOOT CAMP!!

Thanks for the honest review! Despite some bumps, your wedding sounded and looked beautiful!

Congratulations and Happy New Year!! Aiden is adorable!!! I was also like...Where did she go this weekend?

WTF?? That is so freaking funny!!!Wish my night was 1/2 as eventful as that! FI fell asleep on the couch at 11:30, next year I'm planning a party..stripper pole and all!! haha

Hey ladies, so I finally went to try on more gowns since my original Nicole Miller (which is most likely my choice, but my mom wanted me to try on some more just in case....) let me know what you think...some I HATE..one or 2 I love! There is lots of pics so you have to follow the link! <a href="http://s234.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/trisha0612/Gowns/?action=view&current=dresses075.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/trisha0612/Gowns/dresses075.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Those photos are amazing!! Beautiful work! Laura, Did you use the bouquet offered from Dreams? Who did your hair/makeup? Where was your reception held? Sorry for all of the questions.....I'm just in awe at your wedding!

Bow Ties and Olive Oil You need to get the bow tie pasta (I'm not even sure if that's the real name but that's what my mom calls it) Cook pasta as usual, drain into bowl Add olive oil (enough to give the pasta a good coating) Oregano Basil Chopped Tomatoes Chopped black olives Parmesan Cheese EAT!

I am also 1/2 Italian! I don't know the EXACT measurements, but it's my mom's speciality!..there is 2 of them.. Pasta & Bacon (sounds gross, but try it once and you'll DIE!) BACON Cook bacon in a pan until CRISPY Remove bacon place in paper towels and crush Keep bacon grease in pan PASTA We usually use spaghetti but you can use or try whatever you want Cook pasta as usual (boil water, put pasta in and wait to cook) SAUCE My family makes our own sauce (seriously, we pluck baskets and baskets of tomatoes and spend 2 days making and jarring our sauce) so you can get whatever your favorite happens to be. Cook sauce as normal, add bacon, and bacon grease Pour sauce on pasta and eat!

If that photo is meant to be serious she's a freaking moron! I'd like to take that cigarette and put it out on her forehead!

your little girls are so freaking cute!!! I love the ones with your backs to the camera!

I agree...Theres not much at all for us DW brides! however, my email has been flooded mail from vendors I will never need!

Gorgeous photos! I love your dress! I can't wait to see MORE!!

Thanks again ladies......Now that everything is over, it's a relief....sort of. I am glad it's over and I know for sure I made the best decision for myself.... Needless to say, I think I need to stop complaining about not getting ANY anymore.....

Your only 11 days after me.....doesn't it feel like there is SOOO much to do but we have SOO much time even though there really isn't THAT much time?? I'm in a wierd phase where I'm not sure what else to do....I guess booking a photographer comes next huh?? oh yeah, and booking my site visit...and my actual wedding trip..hahahahaha

AHHHHHHH!! I'm so excited for this movie!!!! I had a SATC marathon Friday-Sunday night! Every episode baby! Gotta love it! I can't wait until MAY!

Rocky Beach And what if you were planning on doing a welcome party of some sort? cocktails? apps? is that just at a bar where you meet at or is that something actually planned and put aside for your party? Same question for the rehearsal dinner? So confused... Planning a site visit end of february or beginning of march? hopefully!

Great review thank you so much! Has anyone else hired an outside person for the hair/makeup deal?? I was considering this prior, but not completely sure...

What a gorgeous ceremony that must have been!!! I almost had tears in my eyes reading that!

Gorgeous pics! I love your dress!! Where did you get your BM flowers they are awesome!

I really need to get back on the wedding planning wagon I also really need to start looking into Photographers for Tulum...never considered travel time! This thread will be really helpful!

Ladies..I can't believe I've been gone for this long..I have SO much catching up to do. Well, after a week or so from HELL me and Travis finally made the decision that was best for us. We talked and talked...even took off from work to figure things out in my head...and no matter how many different ways I tried to go at it, and be optimistic I always came back to the same exact phrase.."I'm NOT ready!". It was the most difficult decision I have ever had to make considering I am 26, and this is with the person I plan on spending my life with..but as I have said over and over againg...this isn't the right time for me at all. I feel horrible because of the difficulties that so many women have getting pregnant. I just cannot say THANK YOU enough. FI's support was amazing, but it was you girls who kept me going and let me know it was ok to make the decision best for me. Thank you SOOOOOO much!!! Now...I've really got to get work with all of these posts I've missed!!!!! You girls are the best!

Again...thank you ladies so so so incredibly much for all of your advice and support!! I really don't know what I would be doing without you girls! I can't talk to anyone really in my actual day to day life...but I know I have you and that means the world to me! Thank you again

Thank you girls so much for your support. I have a gyn appointment Wednesday to hopefully begin the process of sorting things out. Based on what my sister figured out (she says you count 14 days from the 1st day of your last period to get a rough estimate of how far along you are) I'm literally like 16-17 days. If it wasn't for you girls I would have never went and bought the test when I did. I would have waited till after Christmas (b/c I'm a chicken shit) and I would have no idea what I would do then! I'm on an emotional rollercoaster. FI and I keep arguing b/c one minute I'm okay, the next a mess..he's frustrated b/c he feels helpless..I'm frustrated b/c well.....EVERYTHING. It just doesn't feel fair...not my situation but I think about all of the women who try and try and try and nothing happens, and then someone like me who was so naive for 3 weeks ends up in this situation! What is up with that I've been religious my whole life, and rarely do I question the almighty/greater good whomever anyone believes in but this is definately a time I do....why can't it just be like the points we earn on here and I can just donate?? I'm in a bad place right now and need to really think. Thank you so much again, you have no idea how supportive you girls have been and how much that really helps when I feel completely alone in this house....
