Jac I think they look great as is but i also like Deannas suggestion with the gold or sand paper, i think that would also look great. are you going to put the white paper over the gold paper like use gold/sand as a backing and the menus still be printed on white?

This sux! Jam is anyone going after you that can pick it up and bring it for you? Dont get yourself all upset over it. You have been through so much do not let this get to you. Martin will eventually get his gift, i know it might not be when you wanted him to get it but he'll still get it and love it.

Im glad your happy with your decision to have a DW. I loved mine and i'm sure you will loves yours too. Goodluck with picking a resort (toughtest decision EVER)

Gavin is beautiful Congratulations!

Maida your stuff is great. Your dress is beautiful, i love the opening in the back. the dock location for the reception looks really cool. I hope your guests enjoy all your hardwork and attention to detail.

Happy Belated Wedding Day!

Vikki i'm glad its working out. the email fmil sent you was really sweet. keep us posted with updates.

Thanks again! i didnt know you meant authentic hawaiian music. i just saw hawaiian or tropical, so i thought that thread would help.

Nathaniels work is amazing. The venue is beautiful. I think you'll end up having a lot of fun in SB.

OMG this is horrible. I feel sick for you. What kind of dirtbag would steal a package from someones frontdoor. I hope that j/o get his. But i really hope its a mistake and got delievered to the wrong door or somethign and the person realizes its not their package when they see the address. (that's happened to me on 3 different occassions in the last 2 yrs). So i hope that's the case and no one is seeing your bd pics.

Awww Jam that was so touching. I teared up reading that and thinking how much you miss your momy. i'm gonna say a St Anthony prayer that you find the pinky ring.

Very good email. I really think she will appreciate it.

I really love them. i love the pics for the menu selections. but if the date is May 10th than i wouldnt send them out now. not sure if you were planning to but you know people will put them aside when they see the date and than you'll never get any RSVPs back. Did you do STDs?

OH and another think Jennifer, Severine called me I think a couple of days before the wedding (she called my room than my cell when she couldnt get ahold me). that's when she worked out all the details about what room # to meet me at and let me know what time she will be there. I know i was nervous cause i didnt talk to her much before i left so i was relieved when i got that phone call. Just wanted to give you a heads up if you get paranoid like me and think "maybe i should of contacted the photog more" make sure at your meeting with Vivianna (or whichever WC you have) just remind them you have an outside photog and give the photogs name (you'll need it if you dont already know it). vivianna will make sure the front desk knows so the photog has no problems getting into the resort.

Actually - I'm not offended by the comments about it being inappropriate to ask them to host an AHR-I didn't know the rules around the whole thing and just assumed it was normal for someone else to do it because of the way my Mom approached it. It hadn't even occured to me that I shouldn't ask. With our not being local I just wouldn't have known where to start.... Guess I ought to brush up on the rules for who does what. We have not asked for (or received) any kind of assistance with the wedding from his family-which is o.k. You'll find in the planning process that some people that you really thought would step up and help - dont. It happens often. You just need to move on and you'll learn you can count on for help. To B's credit I think he's learning how to be comfortable with who he is coming from a situation where he has been constantly put down. I did give him an "I message" last night and explain to him that when he says those things I form opinions and feelings with that in mind. I don't think he realized what he was saying was sticking with me the way it was and I'm going to try to keep an open mind and he's going to work on finding some positive ways to describe his family and promote our relationship with his family. You should just try to start over and clear your thoughts of any prior opinions you may of formed. Try to get to know his family better and maybe you'll see that your fi isnt totally right about them. Like I mentioned, my parents think I'm being overly sensitive about the whole thing and I know I kind of am too-but sometimes those gut reactions can't be helped. I do think that his mom could have been a little less vauge in her response, the tone just didn't sit right with me. Having had interactions with her before and hearing B's side of many phone conversations I just didn't get a positive feeling about it-even though it was very nice. She seems to have no problem giving B reasons for specific decisions she makes about things regarding us. I will absolutely respect her wishes about not wanting to put on anything and won't go around that to plan my own. Looking at the responses I shouldn't have even asked her in the first place but since I can't undo that maybe I'll just ask if we can bring some of our pictures or something to show if it is appropriate. Honestly since you already have bad thoughts about his mom you probably just read her message and took it badly. when i read it i didnt see a bad tone at all. Maybe if you re-read it now it wont seem bad like you thought. I do that read something and am like "oh no she didnt" and than a few minutes later after i calm down i reread it and am like "oh that wasnt that bad why did i get so pissed". And i'm sure all of his family would love to see your pics once you get back and hear all about it Thanks for the advice and setting me straight on the "rules" lol. I'll update after I've had a chance to communicate with her (I should probably call instead of email). yea let us know how you make out

I was just coming back to add that Stacey. I think you should rethink your attendants and only pick people you can absolutely count on.

I think i would be a little offended if someone asked me to sign this too. Maybe you shouldnt put a lot of money out for them until they put deposits down? Can you do that?
