Geez...you guys are good! We only have one car and I strategically plan where I drive so I don't waste gas. I pack mine and daughters lunch every day. We recycle everything!! I buy perennials for my garden to avoid buying new flowers every year for my patio pots. We don't have a cell phone. We keep the house at a set temp and I only wash full loads in cold water.

I think for the money and cost of wedding services the RIU has great deals. We're getting married in PV at RIU Vallarta and the property was beautiful - as is its sister hotel next door - RIU Jalisco. Prices were great for an AI.

You're glowing! Love the pink sparklies!!

Oh yeah, and don't forget that the tanks are always so short too! I ended up ordering iron-ons on line. I then went to Lane Bryant and bought my tank in a longer length, and now all I have to do is iron it on and I am set! I am VERY busty and it is impossible to find tanks. Lane Bryant has the perfect layering tanks! I think in total, I paid maybe $18 for the tank and iron on - and it is a plus size! Deznchris - you crack me up with the Bedazzler! My FI and daughter tease me all the time about it! I just give them the hand and tell them not to hate me or my sparkles! LOL!

You pooorr baaabbbbyyyy! My daughter is SO scared of thunder and lightening too! I've never tried it, but my boss tried it (hypnosis) to quit smoking and it didn't work for him. Sorry!

Way to go Chica! I love it! You guys got a lot done over the weekend! One day when the kids are old enough to move out - Shawn and I totally plan on moving into the city to a place like that! Love the floors and kitchen. SO CUTE! YAY 4 U!! Don't work too hard this week!

CUTE! I like them! One more thing checked off your list I'm sure!

He is such a goof...since I wrote this, he has spoken to both of his guys and he just told me to get back to them about what date I was looking at to get together. WHAT A DOPE!! I think he just wants to act like he's running the show...when we all know who's in charge here! LOL - What a trip! Men are funny! Yeah - I am going to get some pics together so they know what the deal is! Good idea about the pics. FI and I just need to get on the same page with their clothes now....

Okay - I didn't know where to post this but this is my dilema..... I think it's time to have a little meeting/informal cocktail party with our wedding party to get everyone up to speed on what they need to wear, passports, when to get down there, what the itinerary is, etc. PLUS - I kicked my sis out of the wedding because she is a freak-nut case - so my other good friend will be stepping in as my BM. I have to get dresses re-figured out (I already bought the dresses for the MOH and BM - since old BM and new BM are different sizes, I need to find something for the new BM) The guys have no idea what they are wearing. I mentioned it to one of the guys the other night about buying linen pants - he says, "Oh, we're wearing Khaki's?" - I say, "No, Linen pants" - he says.."So Khakis will work?". Anyone else see the road I'm going down and why it is important for us all to be on the same page??...... So I'm home yesterday and I tell FI that I am going to get everyone together and see what they have open as far as Saturdays in April because my calendar is getting full and it's time to get everyone together. He gets mad at me and says he can speak to his guys and I can speak to my girls. I'm like WTF His best man and goomsman are almost like his brothers. we spend every major holiday with them and all get along very well. I think it's perfectly appropriate for me to call their wives and have them check their calendar to see when they are available. FI says I am going over his head and am making the guys seem like a bunch of goofs who can't get anything together. I don't think it's a big deal. FI does. I was SO mad at him yesterday. Also - I don't want to make their wives feel left out either. Does that sound weird? I am trying to make this a family event with everyone's imput and am trying to be considerate of everyone. Although the wives aren't "in" the wedding, I don't want them to feel like they are left out and are just being kicked to the curb. Actually, I would love to include them in the wedding somehow - I just haven't figured out a way. FI kept saying - "Well why don't you call MOH's hubby and see if he what he has going on in May - did you call him too?" I'm like WHAT They are different because my relationship is with her. Same with my BM. If either of these girls were as close to me as a sibling and I spent every holiday with them - I wouldn't have a problem calling their husbands and arranging a time. My point is that the women/mom's of the family usually have a better idea of what their families schedule is for the month - especially when they all have kids - it has nothing to do with their husbands! Am I being ridiculous??

I guess it sounds high to me. We are staying at an AI for 10 days and or rates for 2 adults and 2 kids including airfare was $4,300 (or close to it) We are going in low season so maybe that's why. We got a rate of $800 for a 3 night 4 day at an AI for our guests. I have only heard one complaint from one person - but I kicked her out of my wedding party so it doesn't matter anyway.

No seriously - I would just ignore her. I have been having horrible problems with my sister and told her to leave me alone. Relatives can be ridiculous when it comes to things like this. Just ignore her, don't answer her calls and maybe she'll get the hint.

You know - I wrestle with this all of the time. It sounds like your family is spread out all over and getting them there on a vacation or together for any other reason is an ordeal in itself. I suggest on definitely doing something at home before like a "Bon Voyage" type party so that they feel included. Talk to your family members who can't go and let them know you still want them involved and even doing a little something at home will make you all feel better about everything. Good luck! ~Celina

I would suggest to call her "momma Jane" - or something like that. Bless her heart...she is just so happy to have a wonderful girl in her son's life that she is just totally embracing you! I too have a FI who is an only child. I love my FMIL, but I call her by her name and on occassion "mom" will slip out. She doesn't mind. Sometimes she tells me she loves me and I tell her the same. I just think she is a godsend for me and I know I am truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful family. (My family is kind of coo-coo) She does live out of state so maybe the "absence makes the heart grow fonder" line applies to my situation. Do whatever feels right to you. Otherwise it will just be weird and she will sense it.

You know...I would just take her (You and her only) to David's Bridal and have her try on the dress. As I am a busty gal myself with DDD's! Me wearing a strapless anything is out! I even bought one of those convertible bras that you can change the straps etc...what a joke that was! I'm sure between the two of you, can find a dress that is acceptable. Giver her a choice out of 4 different dresses and tell her that's it. If she can't do it, then I would ask her to seriously evaluate and let you know if being in your wedding is something she really wants to do. It would seem impossible that she would change her mind after going through so much to acommodate her. Being a MOH is stressful and maybe she needs a wake up call. If she is trippin over a choice as easy as a dress - this is just the tip of the iceberg. I hate to sound so quick to throw her under the bus, but it seems like you've done a lot already to try to help her out.
