Jean-Marcus, if we were easy to figure out, you'd have bored of us by now. C'mon, it's the same reason guys keep their secret handshakes. Ignore the fact that if we were all straightforward, honest and so on we'd all be happier. Sheesh! However, I do have some lovely and very sane friends for you!

Very cute!

Thanks ladies! They came from Hawaiian Shirts From Mauishirts.com - hawaiian shirts, hawaiian shirt, aloha shirts, aloha shirt, tropical shirt, hawaiian clothing, hawaiian clothes, paradise found. Hawaiian Shirts - Tropical Hawaiian Clothing - Aloha Shirts - Hawaiian Dresses also has some.

They are great - your guests are going to love them!

I love them! It does sound like a lot of work, but they are beautiful!

FI wants something that's not too girly (meaning not a tote). So we found these drawstring backpacks - they aren't super cheap (about $2 each). I need to call cheap totes and see if they can do any better. Has anyone used these? I think they are more likely to be used by the guys, and certainly the kids will like them. I'd just like to see if anyone has tried them out.

We're booking our separately - but we just got an invite to a wedding the weekend we were supposed to go down, so everything may change. Totally FI's call. We can get flights out of NYC in the morning that land about 10:30, so pretty easy just to go down for two nights/three days. Here's the info I have on local photogs. Maybe that will help with your pricing. We're now talking with Nathaniel about having him come down - he's cutting us a deal, but the prices to have him there for 3-4 days are not that different than for 6 hours day of and 2-3 hours TTD of a local photog, so I'm really leaning that way: Vanessa Vargas wedding packages riviera maya 2008.pdf Del Sol.pdf Claudia Associate Packages 2008.pdf EMedina_pricing.pdf

Yari is my secret bunny!!!! She is smart and fabulous and wonderful and fantastical and... YAY!!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! She got me wonderful things!!! A book - in response to the notion that I needed something blue for my wedding: And FOOD!!! with cooking involved!!! I flipped thru the hors d'oeuvres book and now I'm starving!!!! Thank you, Yari!!! These are SOOOO great!!!

I know they are getting into their busy season. But I'm surprised she actually told you she might be delayed in getting to you. We just booked a trip back down to finalize our plans. Funny, but we actually looked at coming down the weekend you were getting married Michelle! In the end we're going back down on the weekend of May10. Too bad - would have been SO fun to peek in on your wedding! But, we just decided that we'd rather finalize everything in person, pick out things and sort all the details while we were there. Besides, nice weekend away with my honey!

OMFG! I so wish we could have been there! It looks like SO! MUCH! FUN! I LOVE (!!!!!) the blue wig!

Oh, I'm with Maura... ewwwww! I had an apartment in LA once upon a time, and the guy who moved into the unit above mine had one of those hacking phegmy coughs. I referred to it as a tuberculin cough. I heard it every morning at 5AM for like 4 months before I moved. Sooo icky!!!!

My two cents (probably only worth about 1, but whatever): You haven't had any real contact with him since 2004. He sends you an e-mail or a text or a voice mail now and again. But other than that, nothing, right? For four(ish) years? It's not like he's hanging around outside of your office, he's not driving past your parents' home on weekends to see if you're coming for dinner. In that case, he's probably not a threat. The phone calls and voice mails are probably triggered by problems with his current girlfriends or something. He gets lonely/bored/drunk and figures he'll see if you will bite. He doesn't sound like he's going to do you or your FI any harm. Frankly, if he was the type to do harm, he probably already would have done something. If he was paying that much attention, he would have known you were dating for a length of time, etc. It's been four years. It's your life, move on. Don't live in fear of the what ifs that sound like probably nots. Announce your engagement! ...but I don't recommend including the phrase "nyah, nyah [insert ExBFs name here]... you lose!"

oooh! So exciting!!! Does it feel like a big deal or is it more of a formality?

I like the pink. But, admitedly, I'm biased. I always like the pink. But the dresses are gorgeous! So beachy and flowy! Whose are they

Okay... Money names were the topic of the day around here. I don't know why, we are just weird. But here are some of our faves: Moolah Scratch Shrapnel (for coins) Cha-ching

I think the paper ones are fine!!! And some people will appreciate not having more stuff to lug home - one of the reasons we abandoned the idea of towels. I'm just going to re-do our logo without our names. Ultimately, the extra $0.50 or so per bag is worth it to me.

I just checked, and I don't have any of them. Sorry!!

I'm a little concerned... I haven't heard from my secret bunny. She's not been very active lately, but I know the UPS guy left the box at her front door on Monday... I know... I'm just being paranoid...

Hey Morgan: Blue sparkly starfish Gift; received and given White lace, handsome man Joy. ... God I am so pathetic sometimes...

Wow Amy! Just... wow. They are beautiful! I can't believe you did these on your own!!

Gold star for Kate!!! You and TammyB are so awesome! I could never do it. I'd have a house full of doggies so fast your head would spin. I love them all, and I want them all!

Just ordered dresses for our nieces... they are 13, 10 and 6. So sizes were all over the place, but we found one that should fit them all. If not, there's a woman's size in the same fabric - we'll just add the cute little bow to it and it will be pretty close! I love them - I may order the woman's size for me!

Hello Jessica! Welcome to the forum! I'm a Paradisus RC bride, too! There are a small coven of us around. So, any info you want, I'm sure you'll find. And if not, ask away!!
