I would do it. I have ginormo boobies and it holds them well even without tying the thingie around my neck... which says something, cause usually I have to strap these suckers in!!!

It's interesting because it is based on what the kids learn and how much they enjoy the learning process that is key... PS, I just signed my contract today for my first teaching job, 6th 7th and 8th grade language arts and I am thrilled and excited! Definitely not making 125k, but not in it for the money... so happy!!!

Haha... we have a sign in out bathroom that says "We don't skinny dip, we chunky dunk" and everyone loves it. I ALMOST FORGOT TO TELL ALL OF YOU! I have another great website for plus size swimwear... it is 2009 Plus Size Swimwear and Swimsuits Alicia Simone I bought the 3 style convertible swimsuit and love it... It can be worn long like a dress or scrunched up, and it's a halter (more flattering). I am tempted to buy another!! Check it out!

You look gorgeous and happy! SO happy for you!

Lisa, your pics are wonderful! You look gorgeous, and he looks great too! I got worried about that as well with pictures and all. I am 5'5 and chunky dunky and FI is 6'6 and lean and lanky... But we are happy, and that is what matters. You were beaming

The thing that get me, is when people feel like it is okay to make comments about your weight. I would NEVER do that to someone who was too thin! But especially about my boobs. I cannot help that they are big, and you know what, when you have DDD boobs, once in a while a little cleav is going to show. What am I supposed to wear a turtleneck all the time? I think that just bugs me, the boob thing, cause they have always been huge. I think the best thing is all of my life I was under the impression that i had to be thin to meet a good guy, had to be thin, had to be thin... and then I met FI when I had gained 20 pounds, and he still loved me more than anything! So there!! Hahaha... The media needs to stop making us curvy girls feel like crap... More to love!! PS I know I have said it before, but I can't say enough about Davids bridal dresses. They look great on plus size girls, way better than the really expensive ones like from Kleinfelds. When I watch that show Say Yes to the Dress and they attempt to fit the plus size girls in a gown, I want to yell, "Go to Davids! They are making you look like a cupcake!!" And I love how stores only carry dressed like up to size 10 or 12.... get real!

I haven't left yet, but here are some things that are random, that I need to remember to pack. - tide sink wash packets (in case you want to wash a few clothing items in the sink) -extra camera memory card -scissors -band aids/ first aid kit -extra thick conditioner to detangle hair after wedding (from hairspray) -tons of sunscreen -loofas to shower with -a cheap colorful beach towel, so I can tell which lounge chair is mine!!

I only have MOH and I am having one song for MOH, best man, and parents to sit... then my song to walk to... a marriage signing song, and then a recessional... usually they will play some music while people are sitting, but IDK if they provide that at your resort or not. I think it's nice to have one song solely for you to walk down the aisle, but to each their own! Good Luck!

Thanks ladies! That's what I thought. I totally don't want to rack up the credit card it I don't have to. Now, important info. I called GBP from my parents house a few times today (sorry mom and dad) and found out the Tulum section will be opening June 15th.... THANK GOD!!! We already planned for everything over there, and that is where we did our site visit. We need to rally to get more tourism back to Mexico, because these poor people are suffering! Thanks for all the info ladies!!

Thank you for the support, I appreciate it

I just had my TA call so hopefully we will know soon!!

I guess I am going to have to call the resort and find out...Thanks for the info Corvette79... I am hoping it will be open again. Jazmin told me she wouldn't be there from May18-June 8, maybe it's because Tulum would not be open. I need to find out if it will be open or not... I hope there aren't any other weddings that day!!! Anyone know about the debit card??

Okay, I have two important questions. 1) Can we pay for the wedding/ pool side reception on our debit card and not our credit card? I don't know if this makes a difference, we would rather not use the credit card. 2) We are leaving in three weeks. I read because of low tourist numbers that the Tulum side has been closed. Has anyone heard about this?? I am going to call the resort and make sure this will not be the case for the wedding. I hope not!

So, they called me today and said TA came home from Jamaica sick and the info will be mailed out tomorrow and get to people on Friday. I am just extremely disappointed with their service and rude attitude toward guests...

(and i second LOTS of sunscreen. we went thru one whole spray can in about a day and a half!) this one will sound funny, but desitin, or some other kind of diaper-rash kind of ointment, LOL! the day everyone decided to take a long walk into town i was wearing a dress (oh how i wish i had shorts on!) and it was at least 95 degrees out ... the combination of inner thigh "chub-rub" and sweat resulted in some seriously painful chafing, which was hard to recover from when you're almost always wet or sweaty in mexico! obviously i needed to get over it quickly or nookie would have been near impossible (not to mention it didn't look particularly attractive). i used a combo of triple antibiotic ointment and baby powder to get rid of it before wedding day! LOL mummergirl you crack me up... the things you don't think about right? earrings and capris lol... Hank and I walked around our huge resort last time we visted and I wore a dress, and I was sweaty and gross, and the same thing happened (cause my thighs are SUPER thin lol).... definitely pack capris or shorts of some kind for long walking. Just these random things you don't even think of!!

OMG, my mom got me addicted to this trash last night while doing laundry... It's so staged, but I love it! Shhhh don't tell anyone! LOL

I am getting married at GBP Tulum in 25 Days!! Plus, there is a huge thread for GBP brides! I went there in March, you will love it~

For Newport News, measure yourself and go according to the size guide. But I love their suits!

I am in Scotch Plains NJ. Nobody, including myself, has received any documents at all, or itineraries. I have just had vocal confirmation of flight changes and such over the phone. Guests are waiting on documents, travel vouchers, etc. but do not get timely responses, if any response at all from the TA. How would you handle the situation if you were me? Would you just let it go, or write a letter or do something. I am not a pushy person, but I feel like we got terrible service in many ways, and I have a difficult time even expressing that to the TA because she gets super offended... hopefully we will receive documents at the beginning of next week...

Sorry that was so long before... I just don't know the proper way to handle this all... it has made the whole wedding so stressful...

Hahaha, just give them that "don't you DARE" look

That is terrible! But it is kind of you to warn people and be honest... and you have proof!!

I am a DDD and I have the newport news swim dress that ties behind the neck... I LOVE IT!!! I wear it with the straps in a bow in the front so I don't get tan lines, and it STILL holds the girls up!!! The suit is the one wear the girl is wearing it in wite, with the little V at the cleavage... such a great suit.... Get it!!!
