Welcome to the forum!!! Hurricane insurance is always an option. Plus doing an early morning or evening wedding may help combat the heat.

From someone who has had two serious back surgeries in 6 months please take this seriously. It very well may be muscular but you dont know until you see a doc. I would go see a doc (ortho or some go to chiropractor). Be prepared for the doc to tell you to take some time off though. But in the long run this could be very serious. I dont mean to freak you out just dont be stubborn about it either.

Awesome! Bet that feels great to get that booked!!Now its on to more tasks, woohoo!

We are in the exact same situation! Our Nov Cancun wedding puts us right at the start of holiday season when we get home. Plus Chicago winters suck! We are going to wait until early spring so we can wait until after holidays and enjoy an outdoor bbq. Like everythine else with a DW, anything goes!

I will keep my fingers crossed that your new career takes off for you. If that doesnt work you can always think about putting the YKK on zippers.

For whatever it is worth when I opened this thread my FI was standing behind me and he immediately said "oh those are cool". Love your napkin ties. Dont think they need to exactly match the vases since the vase is kind of clear with color tint any ribbon close should be fine.

Congratulations! Glad you found us here at the forum!! Hope your planning goes well!!

WOW! I knew you all were great but such awesome and interesting jobs!!

I opened a bottle of red today, and it's an ok wine, so nosey me wanted to know what it cost...$7!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that's cheap. Maybe I'm just thinking that way because I've drank half the botle though : Ok that was hilarious! Hope by now you didnt finish the rest. That two buck chuck can be deadly! I love how folks think there is no way to determine what they paid for their lame gift. Now you know they are cheap-os!

How cool to get married on such a special anniversary! Congraulations and welcome!

Welcome! Congratulations and happy planning! You will find so much info here!

Ewe, thats no good. Drink your OJ and hope into bed. Any chance your doc can get you on an antibiotic if this persists? Take care of yourself!

I know that Dreams does private dining for $10pp and we don't really care about a DJ or dancing or a cake. And aren't these people paying for an AI? I don't like that I am paying an extra $5K for a reception when technically, we've all already paid for our food and drink. We'll probably end up doing the reception but i'd like to hear your opinions. This was our original thoughts too. But like Jilly said we want to thank our guests for traveling for our special day and thought a nice sit down more traditional setting would be perfect. Plus I am dying to have our first dance as husband and wife. With the ultimate package it really isnt too bad price wise.

Welcome Angie! Moon Palace is GORGEOUS!! Congrats!

Welcome!! Glad you found us! You will find so much fun info here!!

I am a police officer with specialties as a crime scene technician and a field training officer (show the new guys/gals the ropes)

I think I would've crapped my pants if I had seen that! Customer service seriously is not at all how it should be anymore. I give Verizon credit for resolving the situation thats for sure but what a pain and added stress for you! Congrats on a small victory, they all count!

Man of Honor rules!! Screw everyone else, if you are close to your bro go for it. and his co-workers are gonna find something to give him crap about no matter what anyway.

Are you guys planning on staying at Dreams? There is a day pass fee for non guests. I know some have mentioned a certain percentage required of your guests staying at Dreams in order to have your wedding there but I have not run into that. I suppose doesnt hurt to ask.

Very sweet thank you for sharing! Love this forum!!

Oh wow those are awesome! Your BMs are so lucky!! Very cool!

They should have a viewing area, cuz I too would love to watch but to be among the chaos on the floor may make me a little cranky!

I asked to work so I could save a holiday but was told no. So the only thing I am doing today is going to try on some sassy wedding shoes a little later. Other then that the FI and I are staying in with the furry kids out of this nasty Chicago weather!! Sorry you are at work, that is no good!! Well when is it ever good?!

Oh my gosh how awesome! Congratulations!!!

I burnt the songs for the ceremony ande gave them to Claudia with the numbers of what #s where for what. I gave my iPod to my sister to man, but the sound guy took care of that too! By "burnt" did you use cds or just the IPOD? Trying to decide which to do. May bring both just so have back ups. Do they have the cables to connect the IPOD to their sound system? Thank you tons for the help!
