Oh, and I'd send a thank you note with your name on it really big, or something like Thank you from Brian's wife JESSICA!

I'd keep the stuff. But she sounds like a real creepy chick. She must be really lonely to like a guy that is married with a baby on the way.

We get calls from the police for donations but I just hang up. It doesn't seem like it's real over the phone. I do get letters from our local PBA and fire department asking for donations maybe once or twice a year so I just send that in. Plus I see the address it's going to so I know it's real. I won't do anything over the phone, there are way too many scams out there.

How cute! I've never had a westie but heard very nice things about them. Goodluck with him!

Welcome to the forum. I'm getting married in DR which has white sand and beautiful water. But you need passports. Heard Hawaii is beautiful. goodluck!

Thanks. I bought a pair of boy short panties from Victoria Secret and I think i'm going to wear a regular bra. I think my strapless bra is packed away in a box, don't think i'll find it. I'm going tomorrow (Thursday) to a couple of places. I'm so nervous I'm not going to like anything. Wish me luck!

Aventura Spa Palace does this. It's in Riviera Maya Mexico. It's an adult only resort but it's really nice!

We are trying decide the same thing. We have two dogs. We have a couple of close friends and one of Derek's cousins, that we were thinking of asking. They were all invited but can't attend the wedding. We are going to ask his cousin to stay at our house for the week. This way it's one person the whole time, maybe that would be less upsetting to the dogs.

The bags are great, I like the straps (inside a different color very nice). and the logos on the candles are awesome. What program did you use?

You guys have a lot of pics together, that's great. Derek and I hardly have any pics together. I could never do something like this. You did a great job on it. did you make the monogram yourself too? It's really good.

Okay here's an update on the situation. Everything changed over the weekend. I talked to my bro last Thursday about going to the wedding. And by Saturday he had decided that him, his girlfriend, and the baby were all going to go to the wedding. They are just going to go for three nights because the week would be too hard for them. But i'm just happy they are going. And on Sunday night, they got engaged!

Those colors are great together!

Your not crazy. That's really rude. This reminds me of my mom and dad's mom. Never got along. My grandmother is always saying things that are slightly rude (not too over the top to be obvious) to my mom. And my dad always sticks up for his mother! Maybe your FI feels like his has to stick up for his mother. I know sometimes my dad has to know his mom is wrong but still sticks up for her. MEN!!!

I'm only having two but that was by choice. I wanted it small. Derek's sister was married in Riviera Maya about two years ago and she had 6. I say, choose how many you want.

Congratulations!

Haven't used it yet though. I also got a giftcard to my favorite store Kirklands. Can't wait to use that.

I saw this idea on there and was going to put them in my OOT bags. But my wedding is in Punta Cana and was told that mail is really bad there. I should have the people mail them when they get back to US. I was going to give two to each person, one addressed to us and the other they can send to whomever they want. That's a great idea to have this instead of a guestbook.

Yeah, mine totally went out the window. and now my clothes are going to be a little tight on christmas but oh well. I'm just enjoying it till Jan 2nd. Than back to diet and working out.

Thank god, thought i was going nuts.

They look great, I would of thought you spent a lot more than that. I know what you mean about spending a lot of money on something people only look at once. I'm starting to feel the same way.

Hi, I'm also from Jersey, south jersey about 10 minutes from Philly. I'm dealing with a ta at liberty travel, I made a list of questions of what I thought were issues (cost, how far from airport, direct flights, etc). The TA was great about answering all my questions and even gave me opinions on places. I'm marrying in Punta Cana, Dr November 2008. I sent a save the date magnet out and also put a long letter which included the travel agents info. We made them ourselves because we didn't have enought time to order them. In order to get a certain price everyone in my group had to put a deposit down by Dec 22nd so I will kind of have an estimate of how many people are going. Of course some people will book after that but we aren't expecting that many more. I wanted to make sure if people had questions that like if they wanted to stay for less days or if they change their mind, they could deal directly with the ta. I'm a horrible go-between, I get only half the info needed. We are mailing formal invitations to everyone. I thought that even if they don't go, people still like to get invitations. I don't think i'm having ahr though.

I love the top and i love the lace in the back. You look great in it too.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad that I'm not being totally ridiculous. Sometimes I take things to heart a lil too much. I'm really hoping that at least my brother can go for a few days but I would like all of them to go. Derek's sister just had a baby and his cousin is having a baby in a couple of months, both of them are coming. Which if my bro doesn't come, it might even bother me more knowing others came. I really don't know about my brother though. She keeps giving him excuses like babies can't fly, which I know isn't true. Now maybe she doesn't want the baby to fly, that's different. I think she may have a little problem that they aren't getting married. The first words out of her mouth when my bro told her I got engaged was "where's my ring?" and she wasn't kidding. But I also know what it feels like when everyone around you is getting engaged and you aren't. So I don't blame her for being like that, I just don't want her to keep my brother from going because she feels like that. I really shouldn't say that because I don't know her true motives. But it's how i feel right now. I'm just going to hope that when the baby comes, things change a little. And they all decide to come. Now i'm just rambling sorry!

Anyway, at one point, there was talk about my bro not going, and I felt the same way as you. They all ended up coming, and I am SO HAPPY that I had pix with my beautiful 2-month-old niece on my wedding day! Now, my DH's brother didn't come (not for any baby reasons), and my hubby still hasn't talked to him yet! Although, I do need to say they're not as close as I am with my brother, but still, he should've been there. Good luck with this! Amy Thanks Amy. I'm glad to hear that your brother ended up coming. I'm hoping that what happens in my situation.
