It is also a lot bigger than it looked online, but overall I am very happy with it. I used the same set. To get it home I kept all of the bubble wrap & basically re-wrapped it around the vase, with the sand still inside of it. I then took some hand towels & wrapped the hand towels around the bubble wrap. I took that and then placed it in a small carry on bag & it got home in 1 piece!

Congrats! Glad to know that the rain didn't stop you from having a wonderful wedding day! Can't wait to see the pics, especially of a Mammee Bay ceremony!

Wow....sounds like a great deal! Thanks for posting.

Great review. Glad that everything turned out the way that you wanted! Congrats!

I just caught up on everything that has been going on with you & I hope that like everyone says, you try your best to put all of this behind you & go have the time of your life!!!!! You definitely deserve it!

I love your pics & they are beautiful! Your cousin really did a wonderful job. Congrats again!

Has your FI picked up her dress yet? If so, the dress should already be stuffed with tissue paper. You just carry it just as it is. Mine was in a garment bag & stuffed. There really isn't a "nice" way to handle it or carry it. On the plane it was hung up in the first class closet. When I got it to the hotel, it was fine and didn't need any pressing or steaming!

8 weeks already Geez time flies!!! She is definitely a cutie!!! Thanks for sharing & making me smile while I'm at stinky work! LOL

I watched this every week. DH didn't understand my addiction, but I loved it. Thanks for the info Starchild!

Here's the process that I found online: How to Change Your Name in Your Passport How to Change Your Name in Your Passport If Your name has been legally changed due to marriage or a court order within one year from the date of issuance of passport, then: Send a completed form DS-5504, Application for a U.S. Passport: Name Change, Data Correction, and Limited Passport Book Replacement Form, a certified copy of your marriage certificate or your name change court decree, two recent color photographs (2” by 2”), and your current valid passport to the address listed on the form. Photocopies and notarized copies are not acceptable for passport purposes. If your name has changed by other means and/or it has been more than one year from the date of issuance of the passport, you must submit a DS-82 renewal application and pay all applicable fees.

Uh, ok, and you don't like them why? LOL...I think they turned out great!

Oh oh...this doesn't sound too good! Your pics look great so it looks like you had a great time! Come on, spill the beans! LOL

I used the temporary certificate to do name changes to my credit cards, and other personal accounts. Basically I took some time playing around with it to shrink it & then I just faxed it to the companies that asked for a copy of my marriage certificate. I had no problems with using that at all! It wasn't until I got our real certificate that I was able to change my name on my ss card & my drivers license.

Very nice! Your dress was beautiful! Love that shot with everyone in the pool. Congratulations!

Jenn I love how your album came out. I've been thinking about getting one for the longest & you may have just convinced me. I know what Robin has been going thru with her hubby & really didn't want to add anything else to her plate. I guess we'll see. Thanks for sharing!

You really do deserve an award for not being a Bridezilla despite all the drama that you went thru!!! Your dress was very pretty & you looked great! I also loved that 2nd dress & those hot red shoes! Congrats girl!

I mailed off the paperwork on June 23 and it has been 11 days and she still hasn't received it. I'm getting frantic. It was supposed to reach her on July 3rd to be 30 days in advance. Does anyone know if they are that strict about the 30 days? Does it usually take that long for mail to reach Jamaica? Maybe you should ask her if its okay for you to send her an email with the copies of the documents. I know that many brides here on BDW have done that & she accepted it. Then maybe give it 1 more week & hopefully she will receive your documents in the mail. I sent mine less than 30 days & it wasn't a problem.

Congrats & Welcome! You will really love Maui. We went for our HM & stayed at the Grand Wailea. It was really beautiful!

Karma, everything looks great! I loveeee your dress & can't wait to see your pics. I also love the chair sashes, and the crystals that you will have scattered on the tables. I'm sure it will all look lovely! And also, the bonus belly pic was too cute! Hope you have a wonderful wedding day!

Yup, you can definitely change your package. You don't need to email Chandlyn, you can tell her when you meet with her!
