But at least with the silk flowers for the wedding party, that's 1 less expense. I guess you'd just have to try to match it as much as possible. I mean as long as the wedding party's flowers match that should be good. But I agree, decisions, decisions!

While I'm not getting married in Cancun, I love that you posted this. This was a great idea & a great way to narrow down the choices that you had. Great job!

When you click on a thread, the view first unread button, is at the top of the page, left-hand side, right above the very first person's post, but right under Post reply. I hope that makes sense. I can't believe I'm telling you where it is when I just found it yesterday myself! Thats hilarious! Quote: Originally Posted by Jones4Me Another thing that helped me was to set up my pages so that there are40 posts per page. Makes for a LOT less pages.... I will be on one thread and someone will say something about it being 14 pages, and I am like "What? I am only on page 3??". I like it a LOT better that way! See, another new thing learned. Who the heck knew that? Quote: Originally Posted by AnnR I strongly suggest reading this ... PLEASE do! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t13834 Oh I most certainly will. Too bad I didn't do this when I joined! But its been fun stumbling around. Thanks.

So I just have to out myself. I've been on BDW for a few months now. I don't think I ever read the post on how to post or posting & you. I guess I just jumped right in. Well today I learned something so great that I don't know if I should cry cuz its made my life much easier, laugh at myself cuz it was so obvious, or if I should just go stand in the corner with my Dunce hat. Right now, my vote is for going to stand in the corner with my Dunce hat. Do you know that today, for the very first time, I just discovered the "View first unread" button Yup, you heard me. Before today, whenever I went back to a thread, I'd scroll thru allllllllllllllllllll the pages until I found the last post that I read . WHO THE HELL KNEW THERE WAS A "VIEW FIRST UNREAD" BUTTON? I know, I know....YOU ALL KNEW! SIGHHHH... You don't know how this new discovery has revolutionized my life! Funny thing is I swear that I've seen this mentioned before in a post, but I guess I just glanced over it & didn't fully pay attn to it. I'm on my way to the corner right now, with my DUNCE hat.

This has such pretty detailing that I didn't notice before in the other post. I don't think you'll have trouble selling it at all. I still love the Casablanca that you went with. LOL!

I agree. That was a bit much. And then he carries them around with him?? EWWW...

Quote: Originally Posted by MoWife I would find that TA a bit questionable is he/she is saying they don't have travel packages to accomodate your guests. JM flies non-stop between ATL and MBJ. How many do you think you will have flying from there? You can do a group booking with both JM and ROR. Thats exactly what we did ourselves-we have group contracts with the Riu & with Delta. FI is a new TA so that helped. But, if I had to do it over again I wouldn't have done it that way only because we had to put down the initial deposit for the entire group, for the hotel & with the airline. Granted, we'll get the $ back, but depending on how large your group is it can be a pretty penny!

Quote: Originally Posted by becks Oh. My. I think I'll wait to share that one with FI until AFTER we're married... OHHH YEAH...Darn it....And I already sent it!! LOL

Ok thanks! I think I'm gonna be confused as to who I am after the wedding with this name change stuff! All of these forms to go thru...sigh.

OMG...LOL...THAT IS TOOOOO CUTE. I'm sending this to FI's email right now so he knows what to expect when he tries to pull the same thing!

Quote: Originally Posted by LisaG I completed mine on-line then printed it off and mailed it. You have to send your old passport back along with new pics. But, you should have leftover pics from your first one. It took like 2 weeks to get my new one then a few days later the old one came back with a hole stamped all the way through it. Very easy process! So, if you already have one, what's the fee to have it changed with your new name? I've had mine for 5 years so I'm assuming there's a charge?

Quote: Originally Posted by becks ... but OH H3LL NO!! Thats cute!! You are not playing huh?? LOL...I agree with the other girls in just going & not telling her. Just act like you went on the spur of the moment. Like, you were at the mall & you passed a bridal shop & saw a huge SALE sign in the window so you went in & its a done deal. What could she possibly say to that?

You've done your part. Now, enjoy your day and your trip! After days of trying to avoid telling her, I sent her an email late last night telling her that unfortunately I haven't been able to find her a roomate but that if someone mentions to me that they need one, she'll be the 1st person that I call. I didn't mention that the other 2 girls were being shady cuz I didn't feel that she needed to know all of that. So we'll see what happens. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that someone changes their mind in the next few days. And really, I too thought it was all about just having a room to sleep in. I mean, how long do you really sleep when you're on vacation & trying to have a good time As far as I remember, sleep was not on my agenda when I was out with the girls!!! We got our sleep on the way home on the plane! LOL

The DWC said that ROR did not have any packages. Did anyone create packages for their guests? If so, where do I start? We are having about 40 guests. : You can book a package, including air on Riu's website. I know I've seen it before, so I just went & double checked. I just attempted to book from Atlanta. You can take a look: Riu Hotels & Resorts You can have your guests book individually on that site, or you can go with your local TA. I guess the advantage of the TA would be that your guests can pay over time, as opposed to paying in one lump sum.

I also requested their wedding catalog. It took a few days but she did respond & sent me some info. I just tried to upload it to this post but I just got an error saying that the file is too large. Oh & the email address that I used was: [email protected]

I saw last week but missed it last night. Last week was funny. I couldn't believe the lady who cried because they towed her car. For one the car wasn't running & just sat there cuz it didn't work. Anddddddd, she drives a Benz. What do you care that they took your hooptie away But I think she said that was her 1st car & she was attached to it. Oh, it comes on A&E on Tuesday nights. Here's the link: Parking Wars - A&E TV

I hope you guys are ready for tonights show. I can only imagine!
