LOL! I hate that for you Amy! Never underestimate stupidity. Coding the cards sounds like a really good idea.

Congrats! Your pics are beautiful! Thanks for the review!

Congrats Ladies! Thanks for all you do!

Congrats & happy planning!

Welcome back! We'll be in Jamaica at the same time, though I will be in Negril.

I like the initials! Adding the pink really does make them more cohesive.

I feel that way sometimes too. I chalk it up to jitters. We are from very different backgrounds and each of us had a different idea of what out adult lives would be going into this. I truly love my Fi for all that he is and all that he is not. I tend to get too caught up in propriety and what other people think, whereas he could care less. He really does keep me grounded. As much as he drives me crazy, I know he will make a good husband and father. From what everyone else has told me, this is COMPLETELY NORMAL. You are about to make a huge step in your life and it is natural to question it. It would be the same if you were to take a new job, buy a new house, etc. There is a reason you wanted to marry this man, so remember that and take comfort in it. Once the wedding is over you will both be ready to move forward!

Jill give us details on the cake! LOL! The rest of us Losers want to know! We'll live vicariously through you!

I like the first one best. It gives a tropical feel without being too busy. When your guests visit your website they will learn that it is in OR. Really, most people don't know that much about Jamaica so OR vs. Negril etc. won't be that big of a deal.

Of the three, #1 is the standout. You have to think about this being THE DRESS. If you don't feel it, keep looking. You look great in all of them, but I keep being drawn to #1.

I had the same problem! My mom uses AOL and for some reason whenever she typed the wedding website address it did a search that linked pulled up my forum posts (when I had the link in my siggy.) I worried about the vents so decided to remove it.

If you seach the boarding pass threads, etc. most of us posted helpful tips, etc. I looked into having them made but it would have been quite costly. I think Sarah with Sproullie Designs | Custom Photobooks, Invitations and more! is offering or will be offering the boarding pass invites. If you really don't want to make them, contact her for availability.

Beautiful Dress! I wish I had your figure! MY FI loved that dress in a magazine so I went and tried it on...Not pretty! You look amazing!

Welcome to the forum! Does the Riu have a message board? My resort does and it was really helpful.

Happy Birthday Jill! (Give or take a day or two if necessary!) I hope it's great!

Abbie, what kind of runners & size are you making? I was trying to decide if I wanted to do them. I know I will be buying fabric for my arch and chair sashes. We have similar colors and my wedding is before yours...see where I'm going with this? If I have anything you can use I'll be more than happy to pass it along.

Welcome to the forum! Seach the Jamaica threads for more info on the resort and the area. Congrats and happy planning!

It's great that you've lost so far! With alterations being so expensive, I don't blame you. We'll still be here for moral support. If you decide you want to lose more weight we'll be around for season 2!

Amanda, your shower looked great! Your family really put a lot of care into the details! I'm not a big fan of games but yours sounded like fun! My shower was this weekend too! I hope you guys got lots of good stuff!

This is certainly the right place to find travel themed items!

Welcome to the forum! Carly is a Beaches Bride. I'm sure she can help. Search the Jamaica forum for more info on Beaches and OR (Ochos Rios).

I did not so great this weekend. It was my first bridal shower in Kansas City, FI's hometown. So, Friday we had junk fast food in the car (8 hr drive). Then we went to the world's best BBQ restaurant for dinner. I ate everything I could get my hands on. Saturday was my shower with a freakin' awesome cake, huge chocolate dipped strawberries, mini quiches, etc. Then FBIL's FI's shower was Saturday night at a great Mexican restaurant. I resisted the chips and had grilled salmon but the 2 pomegranate margaritas were my down fall. I went to the casino was drank a beer. I did work out for 30 minutes SUnday morning, which is better than nothing. I'm officially 75 days from the wedding and ready to get serious. I've called the gym to make an appointment with the personal trainer. I think I'm going to make a checklist of things I need to do everyday. Here it is so far if anyone wants to add. I think I'm going to buy some stickers and give myself gold stars for motivation! Exercise: 30 minutes cardio 10+ minutes ab work Strength training Yoga (I really need it for stretching & relaxation) Foods: Healthy breakfast Carbs once a day No food after 8 pm 8+ glasses water Personal: Bleach teeth Tanning bed Exfoliate Skin care regime (i've really slacked off!) Shave legs (I have super sensitive skin so I have to get it used to the razor)

Glad that everything worked out and the weather cooperated! I hope you got lots of good stuff! My first shower was Saturday, too! I think there were a few others as well.

All of your stuff is great! You can really see all of the care you put into the details. I think our FI's have the same ring! I may have to "borrow" some of your ideas!
