Welcome to the forum Vanessa and Congratulations!

I am a health lawyer working for a not-for profit organization. I love my job and have been here for almost three years. We do a host of health policy and legislative interpretation (most people would say YAWN!) and the people are great too. I came from a law firm where I worked 24/7 which has been a great change! I make between $80,000 - $100,000....

That's awesome! COngrats!

Thanks for the quick answers! Clearly I am not working very hard today cause I am too busy thinking about my site visit! I am feeling antsy that I will forget stuff to do while we are down there! Anyone heard from LeShay?

I did mine a year before - I put in the STDs that we sent out in January for our November wedding!

Welcome Kelly! This thread is a great source of information and certainly relieves a lot of the stress of planning! We are all extreme fans of the Paradisus (as you can see by reading all the posts!)

Congrats Mommy! She is absolutely adorable! Glad to hear that she is doing so well!

Welcome Salena to the forum and happy planning!

Welcome to the forum and happy planning!

Welcome and happy planning!

Ok clearly I didn't read the thread in detail since my idea has already been suggested... what a DUNCE

What about putting the self addressed postcard in the OOT bag and giving it to them earlier in the week? We were going to do this and then ask people to bring them to the wedding and have a basket for people to put them in - that way they aren't rushed and can write whatever they want ahead of time! Just a thought - I was going to put my MOH in charge of this!

Ok Michele I just noticed that your wedding is two weeks away! It's going to be fabulous! If there is anything we can do in terms of last minute help let us know!

Welcome Ladies! As Becks said - we all "heart" the Paradisus - in fact I would say we border on obsessive - but really - there are worse things to be obsessed about! I cannot wait til you get back Becks to hear about everything - we are going down on August 29 - so trying to finalize that with Perla - just want to make sure we get everything done we need to!

OMG Becks the fireworks are going to be out of this world! Soo funny - funny how family drama is really what makes things so interesting!

You ladies are really keeping me on the ball! We were originally going to have our AHR in late January/early February to avoid the whole Christmas season. In all honestly I didn't really want one at all but my mother seemed to think that only about 15 people would come to the wedding. Now we are basically rethinking the whole AHR thing because we already have 46 people booked to travel with us to Mexico - my mom actually agrees that we probably don't need one - thank goodness since I never wanted one in the first place! SO excited that my bridal store called yesterday to say my dress is in! WOoo hooo - Now I just need to make an appointment to go and try it on! We got our OOT bags from Welcome to Ailana Kai - they are $2.50 plus shipping - so works out to about 6 per bag. I know couple of other girls on here ordered from there - we are still waiting to get them!

I hear ya Becks! I was wondering if this weekend was your site visit! We are in the processing of buying a new carm, house hunting, and wedding planning, and trying to arrange our site visit. I hear ya - figuring out the blue book value on our used beater of a car is not on the fun part of the list! Just think... in a few short days you will be in hot and sunny Mexico with Perla and Elisa. Are you picking flowers, centrepieces, linens etc. while you are down there?

Welcome fellow Torontian and happy planning!

Welcome to the forum Laura!

We are going to Chile for our honeymoon - thinking of some wine tours and visiting Easter Island - anyone been there with any recommendations? We are going for two weeks end of December beginning of January!

Sarah you are too fabulous! Once again the additional monograms I ordered are amazing - FI is even impressed! Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum and happy planning!

My skin has always been a problem - what works for me is Proactiv - honestly it's the best thing I have ever used and I rarely rarely get sits any more.. Oh and I hate the cellulite on my saddlebags - thanks MOM!

Becks I just noticed your ticker is three months today! HOW EXCITING!

Congrats! One more thing to cross off your list!
