I'm in the middle, depending on who you look at it. I'm up almost 4 pounds from last week at my initial weigh in. But, since I packed on about 9 pounds over the weekend, I'm down 5 pounds. I choose to look at the glass being half full! It's boot camp time for me!

Thanks for the instructions Steph! It was such a thoughtful touch for your wedding!

What a great picture! Congratulations on your accomplishment. I'd say that was a pretty cool Mother's Day gift!

That is great information! Tip I've always heard were to keep your tank at over 50% full to increase fuel pressure and therefore use less. You should also check your tire pressure regularly.

Have a safe trip and a wonderful time! I'm sure the wedding will be wonderful and you will be a beautiful bride! I can't wait to see pics! Congrats!

I would hope it is a cultural thing. I think printing registries, etc. is tacky and completely against every kind of etiquette I ever learned. I have seen wishing wells, money trees, dollar dances, etc. and if your guests are accustomed to this, I don't see why you would print it. I would be extremely annoyed!

Congrats! It was beautiful! I can't wait to see photos!

I think #1 is the most unique. I would definitely choose that one. I would maybe worry about sand getting stuck in the ruffles. That would be my concern with #2 as well. You can't see the David's dress very well and the link didn't work for me. Is price a factor? #1 looks the most expensive. My mom had a fit about me doing a TTD in my dress so I got a cheap white BM dress to use.

Heidi - interesting reading. We used to laugh in college that you could make anything academic. I had a friend in a PhD program that presented a paper on the philosophical connections of the first season of Lost from various perspectives - Locke, Sartre, Ibsen, etc. The man at that assisted the older John at the hospital was the same one who visited Hurley at the institution and was questioning him about flight 815.

I love Izzy but agree that the plot lines in general are getting a little messed up. Did anyone notice how much time passed in this episode? They said it was Meredith and Derek's 5th clinical study patient. I'm not a neurologist, but it seems like it would take more than a few days to find 5 people with in operable brain tumors in Seattle. If this is true, how does Alex not know if Rebecca is/is not preggo?

I say tell your guests to book early! The flights are published no more than 330 days out (9-10 months). This might be a situation where it helps to book group travel. Our flights to Jamaica were between $468 and $522 each, depending on departure gate. We were able to get people from Louisville, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Kansas City under the same group contract because Northwest flies through each of those gates. Flights now start at $650 and go up. I will still fly even if rates go up because for us it is sometimes cheaper than driving. (I know people can't drive to Hawaii.) For example, we have to go to KC for FBIL's wedding over Memorial Day weekend. For us to drive the full-size V8 truck we figured we would spend at least $325 in gas if not more. We were both able to fly Southwest for $270.

It is unseasonably cold right now. It's the middle of May and over the weekend it was a high of like 55! It's also raining like hell. We are not a state that typically gets monsoons! But, there is a saying here that if you don't like the weather, wait a day. The Kentucky Derby is always run the first Saturday in May. I've been there in snow, in mud up to my knees and in 100 degree heat at 9am!

I'm sure you will find the forum to be your most valuable planning resource. I sure did! Congrats and Happy Planning!

I'm having the worst week ever! I was up 8 pounds from my starting weight on Monday! I have no idea why or how I could gain that much in 5 days! I did drink rather heavily this weekend and ate a lot of salt so I'm hoping that is all it is. I had my shower and lots of sweets and no exercise. I'm guessing it is stress related but it is hard to relax when you're a COW! I have about 4 1/2 weeks to lose 20 lbs! LOL Looks likes the Chicken, Lettuce, Oatmeal diet for me!

I love those! And they match my wedding colors!

Welcome! I'm getting married the week after you. The stress is starting to get to me! LOL Have you had wedding nightmares yet? I seriously had one that Britney Spears crashed my wedding and we couldn't get pictures because of all of the paparazzi! I'm telling myself it is better to get it all out of the way now so I can enjoy myself there!

I personally didn't work with this company but have heard from several people on this forum and the Couples forum who did. The Negril Escape Resort & Spa Have you tried searching Jamaica wedding planners? You could also contact your resort to see if they have any they work with and recommend. Even if you choose to not get married at the resort, the planner should be familiar with other locations, etc.

Welcome! It sounds like you've got a good start. I'm sure you'll find the forum very helpful!

Welcome! We have lots of Dreams brides who I sure can help.

Congrats and Happy Planning!

The forum is a great resource, especially for Mexico. Have fun searching!

I'm a Jamaica bride too! There is lots of helpful info here. Have fun searching the forum!

Congrats and welcome! I'm sure you'll find the forum quite helpful!

The forum is a wonderful resource! I don't know what I would have done without it!

Oooh! How do you find that out? I'm a little addicted too! The thought has never crossed my mind to quit once I get married in a few weeks.
