Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride OMG Jenny I am glad he is okay! I had the same thing happen to me. My FI went to Peru w/his brother to climb Machupichu (sp?). Well of course it was when the earthquake occured that killed all these people. So I was freaking out hysterical crying and I couldn't get in touch with him b/c they were roughing it. It turns out he didn't even feel it since he was on top of a mountain! The ironic thing was that before he left I kept begging him not to go and I even said "Why can't you just be like a normal guy and go to Cancun to get wasted and see wet t-shirt contests?" Umm yeah then Cancun got hit by a hurricane that same week he was gone! I am glad that Greg is okay! I'm sure he'll be home safe and sound soon and then you will feel at peace and relieved. Give him big hugs when he comes home! Thats so scary! Don't know which is worse, hurricane or earthquake! I think earthquake. My nerves are shot lol I already talked to him today and he's in for the night.. I can't wait til tomorrow! I'm going to make is favorite home-cooked meal and me and my nephew are going to bake him a cake

Maybe instead of doing a mix, you can make each slow song your DJ will play be their songs..

I heard that if you talk to them directly it's cheaper than going through your resort. How did you book it? I've only been on the Captain Hook once and it was through my mom's job about 5 years ago. Her bank sent out all of their top employees and my mom was one of them. They paid for EVERYTHING. It was amazing (we stayed at the Marriott Casamagna). With the Captain Hook, we had the lobster dinner.. very good and the entertainment was so much fun! I remember dancing all night with one of their pirates hehe I'll take your advice and go through them directly. See if I can get a deal somehow.

Yankee Candle has just come out with A LOT of new and beachy things. Even for centerpieces, cute votive holders. Yankee Candle - Shells and Sand

I donated to your team. My mom is a survivor so I believe that every dollar counts.

I went to Yankee Candle this afternoon and found my favors! I wiped them out of what they had and came back home and ordered the rest online. They are $4.99 each. They are all beachy scented. Just add fragrance oil to the ornament and hang anywhere you want. Scent - Beach Walk Refreshing salt water and sea musk warmed with sunny notes of tangerine and orange blossom. Scent - Sun & Sand A tropical beach breeze of sweet orange flower, lemony citrus, fresh lavender and powdery musk. Scent - Island Spa A revitalizing escape ... the sunny citrus aroma of crisp, juicy mandarins and vibrant lemon verbena.

But it goes beyond that - in the Baltimore area, we had a big bridal show at fair grounds -- one of the opposing bridal show founders got on the knot and repeatedly made fake accounts talking down about the fairgrounds bridal show. - it was kind of absurd. -- Everyone here seems to be friendly and seems to respect each others points of view. I think the fact that vendors are allowed to post (but not SPAM) is great. - Vendors usually know alot more about the wedding industry than brides do -- and as a result, can be very helpful in ways other than simply soliciting. -- Afterall, we go to weddings ALL THE TIME - and see all kinds of things! The Knot's search feature is useless. - I advertise on the knot locally - and when I told my sales rep, I get all these click-thru's to my site coming from a forum, but I cant search because your search feature is broken. - she said she would look into it, and never got back to me. On the Vendor's side - it's annoying because I'd like to see what's being discussed, and who is linking to me! -- I often give gifts to previous clients who continue to reffer me business and I like to always know who is reffering me so I know who to send gifts -- but without the search feature, I cant! That's what makes BDW so wonderful. We love to see different vendors because everyone's different. All of us brides have different "visions" of our weddings. I found my photog on BDW and he is exactly what I was looking for. These girls helped me on the path to finding my videographer and DJ.

Welcome to the forums! My FI's name is Greg too..our friends call us Gregifer hehe

How did they word that they wanted money?

Im happy today because I'm spending the whole day with my nephew Dante. We went to Friendly's for lunch, shopped a bit, we're making "Uncle Greg" a welcome home card and baking a cake

Quote: Originally Posted by BarefootBride I think its the American Way to blow things out of proportion. We also like to amplify the negatives which cause us to get easily worried or paranoid. The world isnt have as bad as most of us Americans see it! BTW Is your FI having a great time in China? My mom called me about the earthquake today and like your FI, I had no clue. I tend to sleep through them too- I noticed we have been having a ton lately! China is sooooooo strict on their media and internet laws. Its ridiculous. Everything is blocked. Yea he's loving it out there.. he said its a bizarre wonderland but he loves it! hehe He got to go to a tea ceremony and a dumpling house. They have been doing tours and sightseeing everyday.

It never appears such a big deal the way that the media informs people in the US. yea he said he didnt know anything about and nothing was showing on their tv. I guess the government there only shows what they want to show. We had to send him links to the news stories for him to see how serious it was

The only thing about cruises is, they become really expensive if you are drinkers, because drinks are all added to your tab at the end of the week. You really have no idea how much you are drinking until you see your bill! omg so true.. that's the only thing that sucks.. I never realized I drank that much! haha

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!!
