Erika those look so adorable! I love them!

To answer the earlier question, the Moon Palace is about 10-15 minutes away from the airport - not long AT ALL! Also we had our marriage certificate translated at the resort and it was $45 (i think) but totally worth it!!

Yay that is so exciting! Congrats!

We just turned in our contract this week so maybe I am just having some nerves. You will LOVE the Moon Palace, I promise! I remember feeling like that towards the wedding date also, especially because I had never been to the Moon Palace before. But they will take care of your every need and they will make your wedding soooo beautiful!!! Don't second guess yourself, you picked a fabulous resort, and you will have a beautiful wedding!! I can't wait to go back again!!!

Ugh... add on some more $$$ Wow they do look beautiful but $40? That seems like a lot to me! We just bought fake rose petals - I think at hobby lobby, and used those. They were like $3 or something - super cheap, and they looked beautiful. Just in case you are wanting to save a little $$ for something else!!

Congrats Kristy! Your review was great - love that pic of you guys eating LOL! Can't wait to see more!!

Those look soooo good! I love the little fishies - and the colors are great!

I love Targets $1 section! That all sounds really cute!

Welcome back Kristy!! Can't wait to hear all about your wedding! Your pictures are SOOO amazing! I can't wait to see more! Have fun at your AHR!

That dress is really beautiful! What does your other one look like? (I was a 3 dress bride) oops!

Awww sloan sorry you hated your wedding dress! It looks pretty in your siggy. I confess once again I cannot quit effing eating. It is like a non-stop addiction to food. Ice cream, cupcakes, chips, EVERYTHING!! WTF!!!!!!!

WOW sounds like you got a great deal! And the dress sounds beautiful! Can't wait to see pics of it.

If/when people ask us if they should give us gifts, I'm telling anyone who is attending to please save their money. Their attendance is their gift to us, literally. Anyone not attending who wants to give a token of their good wishes, then that is entirely appropriate and we sure won't turn it away. But I personally don't feel right telling people who are already spending a nice chunk of change just getting there to buy us anything. If they do it, thats on them. But if they ask, no. Exactly what we did. We threw in the whole "your presence is present enough" on the invite/STD also.

Very awesome! I love shutterfly too, I made a 12x12 book w/ all our wedding photos and the quality/pics/everything was great. I'm sure you will love yours! (And so will your fi )

I love the lace on your dress!! Wow what a talented family you truly have! That is sooo nice and you look beautiful!!

They all look so FUN! I love your dress too! Very very cool pics!!

Those look cool. I'm sure your guests will get a lot of use out of them too!

Yael - YUM! What a great idea and I love the little piggie! Your guests are going to think they are awesome! I even want a glass of wine now lol!

Ann I just wanted to say WOW what an opportunity!! I do understand the mommy thing, and once you find people you "click" with it is soooo hard to leave - but you will be coming back to MN right?? It is def. going to be a hard decision!! We lived in a hotel for about a month after A got transferred here - and w/ a 5 yr old and a 1 yr old!! But we had a suite w/ a seperate bedroom and kitchen so it worked fine as far as nap times and being quiet and stuff. And I knew it wasn't permanent so there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Either way it sounds exciting.....thinking about you

You are totally normal I didn't have a shower either, we lived together and had kids and all that stuff......we still registered for stuff for our AHR though. So it all worked out. That idea about a recipe shower is great - I would love to just have one of those for the fun of it - do you think that is allowed LOL!

I'm soooo glad everything worked out with your vendors! I'm absolutely sure your pics will be amazing and I can't wait to see them!

You look so beautiful! They turned out great. I love the colors in your bouquet too!

Happy Birthday to you Alyssa!

Tracy those pics are amazing!! Glad it all worked out for you!!

LOVE your review Tracy!! You're pics bring back SO many memories - glad you had a great time despite the stupid swine flu! You look so beautiful and happy!! Congrats on being a MRS!
