Great pictures. You guys dont look nervous at all, you look completely natural. it's going to be tough narrowing them down. goodluck!

Awwww you look so pretty! i love your dress. the beach setup is gorgeous. Congratulations and now go get some sleep!

Great photos. I really love the turqoise ribbon in your lace up back, it was a nice pop of color. Did you do that yourself? really cute idea! I'm glad everything went perfectly.

I have the same problem on Sundays too. I have insomnia a lot during the week but i consistenly have it on Sunday night. I think i start going through things i want to get done at work that week and than i just cant get it out of my head. I try not to think about the stuff but it just takes over. I usually fall asleep okay but wake up about an hr after i fall asleep and than i'm up all night till about a half hr before i have to get up for work. Which totally sucks, i'd better off not to get the half hr of sleep makes me feel more like crap.

Goodluck, the suspense is such a killer. i remember waiting to hear back if we got our bid accepted and i was a ball of nerves.

That present wreath is so freakin cute! i love the present theme you used.

I'm removing Bow Wow, sorry he's a cutie but i feel like i watched him grow up and it's kinda creepy to think of him as a sexy man. 1. Hugh Jackman 2. Matt Damon 3. Chace Crawford 4. Taye Diggs 5.

Geez i know i had a ton of weird wedding dreams. especially a few weeks before. i started getting them like crazy. some more like nightmares. yours is funny though. One i had i dreamt that i was working late and didnt leave work until 20 minutes before my flight. So i had to go home and pack, yeah i hadnt packed either, i was real prepared! when i got home i found out that derek had left for the airport with out me. So i was running around pulling clothes out of my closet and trying to find my wedding shoes. I was crying that i was going to miss my flight and i did. I then woke up. I cant remember any others, but i had a bunch of them.

It looks like you have a good set of guidelines to follow. I would talk to a TA and see what they recommend. Do you have a specific area of Mexico your looking at? I think with your guidelines and if you have a certain area to look into, a TA would really be able to help you. There are some great TAs on the forum you could pm.

Welcome back. wouldnt be a wedding without a little drama. Congratulations!

Hmmm you have a lot of great stuff already included. Here's some more ideas: -a history of the Riviera Maya and Mexico, -popular excursions, -popular souvenirs, -a map of the resort -packing list - Definately include some info on the airlines backage charges since that is pretty new and i would put something in for the 3-1-1 rule. You can print that right off the tsa website.

Welcome to the forum from a Punta Cana bride

Awww i just saw your dress. It looks gorgeous on you, absolutely gorgeous. Stu is going to be so happy to see you walking down the isle looking stunning.

Oh Great you found your shoes! I love them. i really like the bow, it's a subtle bow so it works perfectly.

Abbie thanx for the info on the Pedi Paws. I'm really hoping Derek got me one for Christmas. I think i must of hinted a thousand times that i really wanted one. Lets see if he picks up on it. lol If not i'm getting one right after Christmas. We just cut the dogs nails this weekend, it's so awful. They get so nervous about it and i'm nervous watching Derek cutting them. I just stand over him saying "Oh is that too close, watch that looks close." Its not fun!

Geralyn, what kind of tree topper do you have? I'm trying to find a snowman one and i havent been able to find one yet. I love this thread. i'm going to go home and take pics of my decorations to post.

how the hell did i miss the holiday decoration thread. i gotta find it.

Awww Jeff dies, how sad. And i really did want to believe Gretchen's itentions were good. I'm dissapointed that she only talks about Jeff when the cameras are on.

Good job! you must of had some great positive feedback.

That worked out really good. Everything does happen for a reason.

I like kohls ornaments, they usually have some cute ones. Target and Macys have some nice balls. I love getting new balls. lol I couldnt resist a balls joke! Have fun decorating your tree.

No I didnt provide alternate lodging. I just gave them my resort info and if anyone questioned about the price i just reminded them that its' all inclusive, sometimes i dont think people quite understand how much you spend on food and drinks when it's not all inclusive so when i told people that they didnt think the price was that bad. I also reminded them if they stay somewhere else they wont be able to hang out with everyone during the week. Do not get involved in recommended other resorts. You did the research for your resort that was tough enough. They can ask the TA the questions about resorts. Just tell them you are only familiar with your resort and they should ask your TA for info. Also be careful, some resort require you to have a certain percentage of guests staying at the resort in order to have a wedding there. I know Ruis do that and i think a lot of them do.
