Betsy

Congrats on being a MRS! I love your positive outlook - you guys look so in love and it looks like it was a GREAT time! And you still have one more wedding to look forward too! How awesome is that! Thanks for sharing the pics - that will be such a fun memory to look back on!

Seriously though, just a word of advice, I would recommend getting your nails done before you go! Because I promise, the last thing you are going to want to do is sit in a nail salon for an hour while you are on your wedding vacay!! Just something to think about

I LOVED project runway! But we don't get the Bravo channel anymore - so I have no idea about this new show.

Looks fun - love the expression on that guys face when you are up dancing LOL!

I think print will show up better on #1. Are you writing a whole letter? If you are I would go w/ #1 just b/c I think it will be more clear. That bow tie/veil is super cute though - I like that part of it a lot. Maybe you can find something fun to do w/ that too?!

This is great - I think if I could have added something I would've had sparklers. And a videographer. And a girls day at the spa. I seriously don't know what I would "cut out" We had the free package, and I DIY'd our flowers and used our ipod for the reception - all of which worked out perfect. Our guests loved the OOT bags and used them at the pool. So I guess it was okay that I didn't have any extra money to spend on things cuz i wouldn't really cut out anything. Except personally I probably wouldn't have had those 2 tequila shots at our reception LOL!

Camie - your pics are beautiful and brought back so many memories! I was married in the chapel gazebo too! You look beautiful - and SO happy!!! Thanks for sharing!

I was going to say - I just brought both copies to the SS office and the DL place too. The reason they wanted the spanish one was b/c there was some sort of "seal" or something - the translated one is more like a photocopy - but I still brought them both, and had NO problems at all! It was way easier than I ever thought! Good Luck!

Jess - those look beautiful! I love them - so cool. The calligraphy is an awesome touch! Your guests will be delighted to receive those invites in the mail!

Your pictures are beautiful!I love that "gracias" parasol - they will be amazing for thank-you's! You look gorgeous!

Cool idea for the envelopes - Love the colors, they look amazing!

Your tables look beautiful! How adorable is your little cousin/goddaughter!!

At least he doesn't shut the DVR off 1/2 way through your show. And then you start watching it only to figure out that the last 1/2 isn't recorded. LOL We still love them though don't we

WHAT? It totally sounds like you are getting the run-around - which is even MORE annoying in this situation! I think you should go back to the bank tomorrow and DEMAND to speak w/ a manager - did they cancel your card for you? So the police basically did nothing? Argh- how annoying - and in the mean-time you are out that money right? That totally sucks, so sorry girl!

Those are beautiful MarieSam!

Wow - congrats on moving your location on such short notice! Welcome to the forum, happy planning!!

So sweet! Looks like a lot of fun!

Your pics look AMAZING! I love them all! Very very beautiful!

Those are adorable Lisa!

Love the new dress!

Thanks girls! Sorry I didn't reply earlier - just got my computer back! Thanks for all the birthday wishes - it was a GREAT day!

NOOOO we didn't have to share anything w/ anyone else - at least not the private things. We had some group sharing things where we all talked about how we divide up household duties/money/etc. Or how we were planning on doing it. Then we all ate dinner together - like I said, I thought it was going to be some fun party-like atmosphere where we would make new friends, but it was totally opposite - you are there to take your relationship to a new level I guess, I hadn't done any research on it before I went, so you are already one step ahead of me! Don't worry - it isn't "bad" at all - like I said it def. brought us closer together too. And no, we didn't stay in touch with any other couples because we didn't really have a chance to make "friendships" with them.

They are cute! I just looked through every single category and voted! Wow those kids are smart.

OMG that sucks! Anything resolved yet? Hugs to you! Hope it gets figured out soon.

Hey Jess - It is pretty intense. And I felt like it was kind of negative but I guess that is because they want to make sure you are prepared for the bad times. We talked a lot and they asked us a bunch of questions which we wrote down in a notebook and then shared with each other (privately). So anyways I guess I was excited for it because I didn't know what to expect. I thought it was going to be a fun couples thing LOL! But it is a very serious retreat. I'm not saying it's horrible or bad, it actually did help us and strengthened our relationship. Hope this helps!!
