Yay!!! So exciting! And now you have an extra BM (or GM) for your photos!!

Where are they?!?!? I have been sooooo patient!

Me three with the brazilian wax. I thought "gee... she's not shy!" Have a wonderful time!!! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Awwwww. I love him!

I got the cutest dress from Ann Taylor - blue and white in a big toile-ish print. I tried to find a picture of it on their website, but it's apparently not available online.

9 hours?!?!?! Good grief!! That's excessive - and then some. I'd have a chat with your agent. Find out if there are other flights available and then start pushing to have them cover the costs. If you don't like the response, then talk with your agent's supervisor - go as far up as you have to because that's just dumb.

I'm in the same boat - just under 5'3". but my dress has a sweep train. So I decided I'd go ahead and have it hemmed to my 1.5" shoes even though I'll be barefoot for the ceremony. Te train is going to be in the sand anyway, so who cares if a bit of the dress is, too.

Seriously? Um, thanks... but I'm busy that day.

Wow!!!! You look GREAT! And the dress is gorgeous! I can't believe you thought you didn't like it!

I figured one per invitation - if it's a couple/family they get one bag. But if two single friends are sharing a room, then two bags.

Oh, go on. You know you want to. All your friends are doing it. The first one is free...

Yay!!! Moms are the best!

Worst case, maybe you can buy some of the kids' plastic ones and hot glue pieces from a feather boa to it.

We booked it thru the scuba/snorkel people there on site. I'll have to dig the information up - but I'll post it. It wasn't bad - $22 per person, including all equipment and the permit/bracelet thing people need to go out onto the reef.

Yay Deb! Your photo is great! And you look freakin' amazing!!!!!! I'm so glad to hear it was perfect! Congratulaitons!!!

I love the Gap thongs - the lace/cotton ones are great - the wider sides mean they don't make dents in my pudge (very important if you wear anything clingy). Also, the VS Pink string thongs are very nice too (again, big fan of cotton), but they have the narrow sides that show my pudge.

Woo hoo!!! I love the elfing!!

The champagne that the hotel serves gratis is... um... bad. Plain and simple, it's not what you want for your wedding. The premium champagne is good stuff, but it starts at about $100 per bottle. You can bring in your own and they charge you a $10 per bottle corkage fee. I haven't yet seen what is available in town or what the prices are, but that's on my to do list. Melissa - glad to hear that you got the DJ sorted. I am sure Swank will be great!

Wow Carly!!!! Everything looks so amazing! You must be so excited!! and maybe a little nervous. I'm so excited for you!!!!!!

I just can't do it. My heart is breaking... but I'll find another location. I am loving reading about your experiences here... Hi Kim!!!! Come and join the party!!! We all LOOOOOVE the Paradisus. I actually looked at the Azul as my back-up location. But the Paradisus is SO great - you can do just about ANYTHING you want (obviously, for a price). They have accomodated so many special requests from us! Outside DJ, outside photog, special venue for our wedding dinner, arranging a snorkel tour for all of our guests, special arrangements for the welcome dinner and cocktail hour. Elisa and Perla are wonderful!

do you see the smirk on the grooms face? He totally sees our nudist and is trying not to look. The bride is all "honey, why aren't you looking at meeeeee?? ?? ??"

Wow!!! Your invites are beautiful.

I resent the fact that my father put me in the position in the first place. I hate the fact that there are about 200 other people I would have invited before I invited them. That being said, it's not as if I dislike them. And I have plenty of other things to focus my energy on. If it were a situation where I did not like/had a problem with the guest, honestly, I would have dug my heels in and told my dad that they would not be invited and if he had a problem with it, then he could stay home. And I mean that literally - and I LOVE my daddy. This is YOUR wedding day. You do not want to be walking down the aisle and see this person sitting there - it will cast a shadow on what ought to be a euphoric day. You can't tell her that he can't come to Hawaii, but you have EVERY right to tell her he isn't welcome at the wedding events. I don't know if you have siblings, but I discussed my situation with mine and was glad I did. Even though I caved in the end, they were ready to back me up and tell my dad he was being unreasonable - which was a nice position to be in.
