My colors are hot pink and green so she is mixing and matching and matching ribbons and embroidery colors. They will all match but all be different. those sound really nice.

We haven't decided on gm gifts yet, we each only have 2 attendants. We did buy all of the gm attire and bm dresses. For the bms, I bought big straw beach bags that I'm filling with the following: -flip flops -barefoot sandals - bathing suit coverup - palm tree photo frame - People crossword puzzle book - sunblock - silver starfish necklaces - i'm having my mom make the wedding jewelery and will also put in the bags - pjs - passport covers - team bride tanks from customized girl - travel kit that has mirror, tweezers, nail cutters - makeup bag that i'm going to fill with travel size toiletries And i think that's it for them. For the RB we bought his outfit also and 2 other shirts for him to wear when we are away (we dont' have a fg): - personalized toiletry bag - ringbearer tshirt - a couple of books - sand bucket and sand toys - baby sunblock - bathing suit and surf shirt - mickey mouse passport cover (thanks to Tammi)

Still deciding on the GM gifts-- maybe the Reef flask flip flops. We have eight each so we can't get as great as gifts as we'd like (well, for the GMs, I feel great about the BM gifts). those reef flip flops are so neat, i've only seen the bottle opener ones not the flask ones. they're a great gift.

I've never been there before, that's a good idea. If i got her a gift card for $25 for build a bear would that be enough for her to make a bear? I dont want to spend too much this year since i'm strapped from the wedding stuff but i don't want her parents to have to put more money into the gift.

As of right now, it's "Yellow" by Coldplay

Welcome to the forum. I'm getting married at a Paradisus. Goodluck with your planning.

I'm going to a 6 yr olds bday party next weekend and need an idea of what to get her? She pretty much has all the high school musical stuff and Hannah Montana. She does like to read, I'm not sure what books would be appropriate for her age, she also likes workbooks. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum Kelly. You might want to look into a resort like the Paradisus there's one in Riviera Maya. There are adults only sections of the resort so when you want to be secluded you can be. There's probably a few resorts like that in Riviera Maya that might help narrow down your search. Goodluck!

Your teazers were great. He takes beautiful photos can't wait to see more!

Thanks Michelle. So i was updating my bedbathandbeyond registry. I was signed in, for some reason I didn't think it showed you what was already bought when you were signed in BUT it does. So i found out that someone bought the dyson vacuum i registered for that i'm dying for. I've been wanting one for two years. It's the only thing that I really really wanted badly. I'm so psyched. Now i wonder who bought it for me? I dont' even think the invites for my shower went out yet, my family procrastinates big time so i'm thinking its someone who already knows where i'm registered like my bms, my mom, fi's mom. I'm so happy! But of course i have to hide my excitement i dont' want anyone to know i found out. Now i'll have to stay off my registeries so i dont' see what else is bought.

If i can figure out when my shower is lol, I plan on wearing this dress: Anthropologie.com > Lush Arroyo Dress Sorry it won't let me post a pic from the anthropologie site.

All these dogs are so adorable. And i love the names you girls picked out Marshmallow, Meaty, Deuce

Definately A, everyone loves shaking it to that and singing too.

Welcome to the forum. There are a few Dreams brides on here. I'm getting in Punta Cana at the Paradisus Palma Real on Nov 6th 2008. Goodluck with your planning!

You go Lisa! I'm too lazy for all that, I barely keep up doing the elipitcal.

The turtle one is my fav. really cute!

Very nice.

I'm sorry that's so sad. His poor brother must really miss him.

I've never used smashbox foundation but i've used their eyeshadows, blush and lipsticks before. It was pretty nice. The colors are very strong, so a little will do. KWIM

I think you should go with the dark flowers but I dont' know much about what flowers come in the dark color.

Thanks girls I'm glad you like the dresses. I really love them. The girl in the pic is my sis her dress was a little too small they have to take some out but besides that they were exactly what i wanted! Those aren't the shoes Michelle. I bought barefoot sandals for them to wear for the beach ceremony and flip flops for the reception. I forgot to bring them both to the bridal shop. For the CDs since they are for before we leave we picked songs to help people get in the mood for a vacation and we have an older crowd coming so i couldn't put anything too crazy on it: 1. Here Comes the Sun - The Beattles 2. Jamming - Bob Marley 3. Red Red Wine - UB40 4. Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet 5. Kokomo - The Beach Boys 6. Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes 7. Two Tickets to Paradise - Eddie Money 8. Vacation - The Go-Gos 9. Holiday - Madonna 10. Soak Up the Sun - Sheryl Crow 11. Hot Hot Hot - forget who sings it 12. Waiting on a Sunny Day - Bruce Springsteen 13. It's 5 o'clock Somewhere - Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffet 14. Two Pina Coladas - Garth Brooks

Nevermind, i can't do the 20th forgot about the Pitman Craft Show. My mom is a vender and i volunteered to help. Well maybe i could still go depending on what time and where we are meeting.

I attended a DW a few years ago. they didn't do STDs just invites. they sent them out about 7 to 8 months before the wedding.

As of now, i can do the 20th so count me in. Okay... show of hands, who can make it the 20th? 1. Jenn 2. Alyssa 3. Carly 4. Danielle

Great review Martha. You look gorgeous even when your sweating. Sorry your first two days were kinda rough but i'm glad you were able to enjoy yourself for the rest of your trip. Congratulations!
