That is a great gift! I forgot about that on my wedding day. Dammit! We won't be prosperous!

SparkPeople is GREAT!!!! DH is being a butt head and going to sonic! I'm resisting!

Welcome to the forum! We have tons of ROR brides who can help out!

Welcome to the forum!

LOL! There is another thread bout this somewhere... Here it is: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t15414

Welcome to the forum! I just got married in Jamaica, so I'm a little biased. THe forum has tons of info out there and some wonderful travel agents who can help you decide. I would start with a wishlist and go from there. Do you want all inclusive, kid friendly or adults only, etc.

Thanks for the update. I'm so glad he's doing well. I'll keep sending happy, get better thoughts his way.

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll find lots of helpful info here!

I'm so sorry. I know kind of how you feel. My grandmother, to whom I was very close, died 4 years ago on Friday. SHe had been very ill and I was her primary care giver. Even when you know it is coming, it doesn't soften the blow. I can only imagine how it feels to have your father taken so suddenly. I wish I had a magic answer to make it feel better, but the honest truth is that it won't. You need to know that it is ok to be upset and cry and do whatever it is that YOU need to do for you. I'm guessing that your friends and FI just don't know how to handle the situation. My now husband had no clue how to be around me. I was really angry with him for that. He's a "fixer" and when he couldn't fix me, he withdrew. His friend who is doing so well might not be. Some people put on a show or it doesn't hit them for awhile. I think it took me about 2 weeks to really come to grips with the situation, I was trying to be strong for everyone else. I would suggest finding support somewhere. A priest, a bereavement counselor, an online group, anything. It usually helps me to write a letter when I'm upset. I usually don't send them, but it helps me express and process what I'm feeling. Write to your dad and tell him what you feel, whatever that may be - hurt, angry, alone, sad... Know that it will take a while to get better, but it will get better. If you have to take things one hour at a time or one day at a time, do. Know that we will be here for you in any way we can. If there is anything I can do please PM me. My heart goes out to you. *Big Hug*

It's a beautiful dress and I'm sure you'll be beautiful in it! I can't wait to see pictures! Real people always look better than the model.

Welcome! Be sure to check out the RM sub-forum as well as the wedding review sub-forum. You can also search for each resort for more info. Congrats and happy planning!

Welcome to the forum!

It looks like you guys had a great time! I'm sure everyone was excited to get to celebrate with you.

We live in a different state so they can't go do something real together & they aren't much for talking on the phone. So they talk over their headsets as the kill people. This is my Mike's excuse. He plays with his brother, who lives in a different state so I feel bad about bitching, since he doesn't get to spend a lot of time with him. I totally think he is playing on my guilt factor. It wouldn't be as bad if he would do other stuff. I know he needs to relax when he gets home from work and crap, but still it makes me crazy! I just don't understand. He will not go out with friends so he can stay home and play online! Then, if I'm on BDW he gets all huffy. "You're on your computer, so why can't I be on mine?" We share the office, so I just get tired of listening to them talk on the headset.

I'm so happy for you both! Have a wonderful time and take lots of pictures!

We did pocketfolds in a vellum envelope. I did use formal addresses, Dr. and Mrs. Donald Grimes or Mr. Michael Jones and Guest. If I knew the guest's name I put both names on the envelope. For families I was more casual and simply put The Smith Family. No one complained and the etiquette police didn't come after me, so I guess we are ok! LOL

I actually need some of these for work. Are they slef stick or do they go through your laminator?

Tomorrow is going to have to be another day! I had chinese for dinner. It could have been much worse. I ordered steamed chicken and broccoli with the sauce on the side. I didn't even eat all of it, but I did indulge in a crab rangoon, an egg roll, and some of DH's sesame chicken. I am not off to a good start. We also have TONS of candy in our house for the upcoming Candy Bar at our AHR. If it isn't here, I don't miss it, but the dark chocolate truffles are seriously calling my name!

OMG! Leah, I just read your reading on your knottie bio! I laughed, I cried...It would have been perfect for us. Too bad I'm already married or I so would have stolen it! You wedding was beautiful! Congrats!

Welcome to the forum! Our vendors are a great resource. If you haven't already done so, please review the vendor rules: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t921 I'm sure as a previous DW bride, you can offer help in both areas.

I like #2 the strapless taffeta or the red/black one. I think either can be worn again, but the red/black might be more age appropriate for your niece.

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll find lots of helpful info on DR here. Congrats and happy planning!

Welcome! We'd love to see pictures! I'm sure you'll be a great help to the other St. Lucia brides.

I say either Katie or Will will win the whole thing! THey are amazing dancers technically and they perform well. I love Twitch and his personality. I was a big Mark & Chelsea fan, but he doesn't seem to do well without her. I can't wait for next week! It is the highlight of my TV week! I do DVR it so I can FF the commercials and get to the dancing!

Welcome back Abbie! I'm so happy for you and Doug! I can't wait to see more pictures!
