We're doing the reef grill. Because of the number of people being seated at the same time, they require a set menu - one app, choice of two entrees, one dessert. They did offer us a section of the Mexican restaurant, Capri or the buffet as well. And yes, I sent Swank their outside vendor contract (signed) at the same time I arranged Carlos.

I'm in, too. We'll have to see about FI.

I heard from Elisa last night regarding some questions we had for the welcome dinner. So, I'm all caught up with her.

Check wth Watters and Watters - they have two all lace halter gowns - one in the WToo line that has a lot of beading, and the other in the Watters and Watters main line with no beading. The WToo (I'm wearing this one) is about $600 and the W&W is about $2000. I know you don't like the beading, so the W&W dress is probably the right one, and $2000 is a lot less than $7000. The W&W is style number 1048B: Watters Brides | Bridal Gown Collection | Style 1048B | Alencon lace halter dress with trumpet skirt. Sweep train. And here is the Wtoo dress: WTOO BRIDES | Bridal Gown Collection | Style Adriana | Ivory beaded peau d'ange lace halter gown. Sweep train.

Yay!!! Congrats Anny!!!! We can't wait for pics of the handsome and talented Robertito!

Beautiful dress!!!! I can't wait to see you in the real thing!

Wow Sarah!!!! You look amazing - all three dresses are gorgeous! And, your hair is not orange, and you do not need to lose weight.

Let us know how it goes - you have my thoughts with you!!!

What a great slideshow!!! You looked fantastic!

Woo hoo! Love dentists and pharmacists that approve wine on top of drugs!!! Feel better!

Very nice!!

Those look GREAT!!!!! Love the signature drinks!

My sis had this done - she actually never got in her adult eye teeth (my mom doesn't have them either - the magic of genetics!). They put in titanium anchored fakes to keep her other teeth in line and make her look normal. At any rate, she says it's not a big deal - hers were done several years ago. They basically use the titanium to anchor the new artificial tooth, but there's really not much more to it than that. She says it was actually easier than a root canal. For her, the biggest issue has been that she needs to keep whitening her teeth because the fake teeth don't discolor and she's a huge coffee and red wine fan, so her natural teeth are slightly darker.

I love to grill mine - cut them in half, scrape out the thistle, and throw them on the bbq! Leave them until cooked and the outside edges get just a bit toasted/charred. Then, a bit of butter, salt and pepper. You can also steam them 1/2 way and then throw them on the BBQ to speed up the cooking time.

Wow Maura - I don't know how I missed the thread... but your invites turned out so lovely!!!! Your BF is a star! And geez Abbie! I've told you, rather than post Maura's name, just create a fake myspace account using her name and say all sorts of horrible things about everyone!

Wow!!! Everything turned out wonderfully!! What vases did you end up using?

I can't wear the Neutrogena helioplex on my face - I get a weird reaction and my face, particularly around my nose and mouth, swells and dries - and then for about a week my lips are chapped and peeling. So try that one before you commit to it two days before your wedding. And I say that as someone with no known allergies, it's the only thing I've EVER reacted to. Personally, body-wise, I use the sprays - coppertone sport SPF 50 is my preference. They go on dry and stay that way - just be sure to rub it in a bit after you spray it on. For my face, I use blue iguana. It is a bit greasy, but my recommendation is to have loose powder and a good powder brush at hand - that way if you get shiny you can just powder up. Also, some of the new loose powders have an SPF in them.

Those came out so nicely!!!! Great job!

I can't even imagine your heartache - but don't worry, it will turn up. I have my fingers crossed for you!!

Congratulations!!!! Have a wonderful wonderful wedding!!!!

Rachel!!!! You beautiful bride, you!!!! You were absolutely radiant, and it looks like you had the BEST time!!! Many, many congrationulations!

Oh Maura!!!!!! Your dress is gorgeous! And you absolutely GLOW in it!!! Congratulations!!!!

Love the dress!!! the wrap on the skirt will be so flattering!

For those who need one, I'll be back home the 2nd week in September, so I can send it to someone who has an October (or later) wedding!! Hooray!!! I'm so glad she got there safely. Take good care of her, and make sure she sends me a postcard from Mexico!!!

Maura you are such a sweetie!!! I can't believe you did that for Abbie. You rock!!!
