    Ugh. So tough... And everyone has been right so far. FI NEEDS to step up and shut his mom down. Otherwise you're on a never ending cycle. And if she brings up counselling again, I'd turn it around and ask her why it is that she thinks her son needs counselling to be a good husband. (hee) But make FI step up on this one. It's his mom, and if he can't deal with her, you certainly shouldn't have to.

    I'm concuring with Maura. I think as long as they are your full names on the certificate/license/etc., you can use whatever names you want during the ceremony.

    Yay! Congratulations, you must be so excited! But enough chit-chat. We want PICS!!!

    Go early, and have mimosas while you're there. That way, you also don't risk smudging toes getting to the sunset cruise.

    I don't know, but I think I've seen them in the OOT bags - esp. for the guys. Try searching for that?

    oh EWWWW! That is so repulsive. Sometimes, there are things I'd just rather not know...

    Very cute! And what a great idea!

    Welcome and congrats. Let us know how we can help. I know that we looked at both and liked the Iberostar, except it was so big, and LOVED the EDR except they don't allow kids.

    Welcome and congratulations!

    Welcome, and congratulaitons! We're looking at the Paradisus, but will be legally married in the US first.

    Wow! That is outrageous. Can you maybe do the reception somewhere else? Because $6000? for 4 people? No way. I'd suggest you push back on your WC and figure out why it is that you have to pay $1,250 per person. Makes NO sense.

    I say go for it. You've got some time to test how the reconciliation goes, but it sounds like you really want to put things back on track. What a better way to make that happen than to ask her to be a part of your wedding? It will show her that she's important to you and go a long way toward repairing any damage. And worst case, you've got six other bridesmaids to get things done if she doesn't jump in with as much enthusiasm as you'd like.

    Everyone is right. Plan it yourself. You don't have to go over the top - just start with dinner and a place for after, and tell your crew. The girls will pick it up and run with it.

    FI and I are thinking 6:30 - because we figure most "volunteer guests" will have left the beach, and it will be cooler, and lend itself to cocktail hour and a late dinner better. That being said, in August you still have quite a bit of light. We'll still likely do photos before hand.

    I have to say that I LOVE Hallmark's leather photo albums. I made one for FI after our last vacation - you can pick the size, type of pages, etc. But it is a case of having to add the photos yourself, etc. But I'm a big fan.

    Great web site! Thanks for sharing!

    I'd say if you want them, go for it. Alternatively, maybe just a little thank you note for everyone, if what you're trying to do is tie in your theme, etc.

    Oh Catherine! You have my sympathies! And my laughter. I got stuck in a dress once - about two weeks after I got my first apartment with no roommate. I had to call my landlady. So all my sympathies. But seriously, its a good thing its early here or people would think I'd lost my mind with the laughter. I'm so glad your dress loves you so much it doesn't want to be away from you. And yes, we all want pictures. Lots and LOTS of pictures...

    It's beautiful! And I love that you're going with a color. So unique and so special!
  20. becks
    It looks fantastic! You must be so excited!!
  21. becks
    Absolutely beautiful! Definitely dress #2!

    Many congratulations! Can't wait until we get to congratulate you again!!
  23. becks
    Yay! Congratulations and have a wonderful time!

    Yikes!!! I'm so sorry you had to go thru that! And the fact that at some point you'll have to finish only makes things worse. Personally, I would probably take the coward's way out - tell her that FI shouldn't have shared that with her, that while it may be how you feel, you don't want to discuss it because nothing will be resolved. You will feel the way you feel, she will have her opinions and the world will go on. Good luck. Keep us posted!
