It's pretty easy, really: Once you get on the way you like it, put your cursor in an area that doesn't have anything in it - like off the page or something. Then click and hold your mouse button down and draw a box (it will show you) around all of your design elements. When you release the button everything will be highlighted. Then right click and hit copy. (Sometimes it resets and only picks up one of the design elements when you right click. If this happens draw the box again and when you right click do it over one of the markers - the little tiny boxes on the corners of things, or on the gray border of a text box.) Once you've copied it, hit paste special and paste it as a picture - a .gif or an enhanced metafile are easiest. Then you can copy and paste that to your heart's content - the layout will be constant and you're ready to go. Hope that helps!

You might take a look at Michele's (Nenamono's) reviews of the Paradisus. I know she had rain and went with her plan B venue. Good luck. I'm sure there are places with great plan B venues.

I thought he was joking and went to the ladies room (2+ hours in the chair!!), and when I got back he was asking her if she was free to come down for the wedding. It was SOOOOO great!!! She did my makeup for the welcome dinner, the wedding and then got up at 5:00AM the next morning to do my makeup for the TTD. Yep... I am a spoiled woman. And if anyone wants her contact info, PM me!

You can also try Hawaiian Shirts From Mauishirts.com - hawaiian shirts, hawaiian shirt, aloha shirts, aloha shirt, tropical shirt, hawaiian clothing, hawaiian clothes, paradise found. We got our nephews and nieces shirts and dresses from them. So many styles to choose from!!

Having dealt with a very mediocre TA, I'd strongly suggest working with one from this site. The banner in the top right will point you to them. They are specialists in DWs, and they'll be able to find you the best deals around.

Promotional Products for the Promotio They do have a minimum order requirement, but I can't remember how many it was. We only had 35 guests attend the actual wedding, and we gave one mug per person. We gave the extras to those family & friends who couldn't make it. So it worked having the extra's. If you think about using them, search the forum for coupon codes & see if there's any discount available. You can also sign up for their emails & they will send you specials when they have them. FYI, not all of the mugs at discountmugs.com have minimums, it just depends on the cups. If you call them they can help guide you to one that meets your needs and doesn't have a minimum order.

Wow!!! Great photos! You look like you had such a great time!

I had mine done about 4 weeks before we left. I just figured that my skin changes so much with the weather and such that I might as well get as close as I could to what my skin would be like and still have time to practice with the stuff a bit. (And then we ended up taking the artist with us! So great!)

Holy crap. I... don't even know what to say. But I'm sitting here laughing like a moron!

You look totally fantastic!!!! Congratulations!

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Happy birthday Jennifer!!! I hope it's wonderful!!!!

Thanks everyone, for your kind words. We had so much fun. Now I've got to plan a reunion tour just so we can do it again! For those who wondered, the dress is a WToo dress (watters and watters), called Adriana Quote: Originally Posted by meagan By the way...who did your makeup it looks amazing? My makeup artist is local to Long Island. Her name is Alisha Rogers and she's (a) super sweet and ( a genius! Three of my guests have already booked her for other events. PM me if you want her contact info.

I love it! Yes, the date is a little light. One other thought, just for the sake of argument - are green and blue your wedding colors? Because if you're going with say, blue and fuschia or something, I'd make sure your logo matches. But I love it!

Wow Erica!!!! Donnie did a great job!

Very nice!!

How big across is it? Anything more than 4-5 inches and it's going to be huge, especially if it's behind your ear. Do they make a smaller version?

A few snaps from the ceremony: And some of the reception: My 5 best girlfriends: Thanks solely and exclusively to my makeup artist and hair stylist, I've never looked so good: Chris and his 2 oldest friends: My girlfriends love my hubby!: We had SO much fun: Even the bartenders were partying with us:

I know... I'm very bad for not loading these sooner. From the days preceeding the ceremony: All my girlfriends at fiesta night: Chris with my mom: Me with my nephew Ben: A couple shots from our welcome dinner/cocktails: Chris and I: Me and my nuclear family: Some from the ceremony: Mom and dad walking me down the steps: Met Chris at the bottom of the steps to walk me up the aisle:

Possible? Yes. But... With the ruching/pleats across the top, a sweetheart could really change the look of it. I'd check with a seamstress you trust before you commit.

Hi Holly: I'm not sure what you mean by the difference - they are a different company. For me, they were less expensive, even after paying the pass thru fee to SWANK. Plus, I felt much better about using them than I did with SWANK - I just never got a good feeling from SWANK. Look back thru the old threads and see what you can find. I know there are also a couple of threads with reviews on Carlos and Mannia, as well, just use the search tool. His e-mail is [email protected]

They turned out great, Carly!!!! And if anyone asks about the height thing, just tell them you were sitting on his lap!
