I've started circuit training, and I think it has helped. When I do weights, I go from one exericse to the next. I don't take breaks in between sets, I just go to work a different muscle. Last night I upped my weight on my lunges, and I think it's something I really needed to do. Also, another good exercise for your butt is on the stability ball. Lie on your back with your feet on the stability ball and lift up and down, and then roll the ball out and back in to work your hamstrings. I really like this one.

As for the above exercises, I totally need to get on the abductor/adductor machine, and I need to increase my weights. Those are 2 things I haven't done, and i'm down to weeks, so that is exactly what I'm going to incorporate into my final countdown workout routine!
Thanks for thread and the help! -

We have 30 people coming, so it's small. We will have about 30 minutes to have group pictures before the cocktail hour. It was my mom's idea for us having appetizers. She thought it was necessary, so be it. -

my saddlebags and my ass, and my knees, I think they're weird looking, but I don't think there's anything I can do about those! -
I don't mean to be a downer, but I was just reading in, I think it was Business Weekly, but it was some business magazine I found while at the gym this past week that the cost of flights would be increasing. Not only due to the cost of fuel, but because of the new Delta/Northwest Merger. Business Weekly said not to be surprised if you start seeing more of these mergers happen, and with these mergers, a higher ticket price.

I'm getting 2 for 374.00. We had to do 2 because our reception is up on the bugambilias terrace, so they gave me a special rate for 2.

Hi girls,
I was just wondering how everything was going for you all? Maura, has the Westin cooperated yet with you?
Our wedding day is one month today! I have received our final BEOs for the ceremony and the reception. That was interesting. Look very carefully at these when you get them because it took 2 days to get them straight. There were several mistakes including the wrong reception time, the wrong salad, and only one sound system listed. I also noticed on our consumption resume, she was charging me 8.00/slice of cake. anyway, this has all been taken care of and I'm going to make the payment today.
I noted it on Barrie's other post about musician fees, but I'll say it here again, it said on our BEO that the Westin SHOULD provide all vendor related services, but there's nothing saying they must. She must've known about our photographer, and I told her we had contracted a florist on our own, and she said the hotel would accept it, but they have to really. If you all would like a copy of these, let me know, and I'll email them to you.
I'm just so interested to see how it all pans out! I'm glad I now have everything on paper and in emails. I'm glad Lorena corresponded with me entirely over emails, and I'm so happy she negotiated the bar package with me!
I'm also just so happy to have found this forum because I definitely think we have saved so much money and possible headaches because of this forum!

Barrie,
I just got my final BEO and in the small print it says that we should go through the hotel for flowers, music, etc. If you want I can send you a copy of that, but nowhere does it say I must go through them. I told her we had found our own flowers and photographer, and she said they would make an exception! so nice of them, but there really wasn't anything she could do. As for the music, I did find an email from her from long ago that did state we had to use their union musicians.

Congratulations! That is awesome!!
i think my mom was just talking to me about this the other night!

We are doing passed appetizers during cocktail, and I'm wondering if 5 per person/1 of each is enough? For anyone who has done this, do you have any advice? FI thinks is plenty, but I'm feeling like we should order a few more of each?
Thank you!

Lorena just told me the exact same thing except it was 150.00 per musician. For some reason she thought I was bringing a mariachi group in, which I'm now glad we chose against. She was also trying to talk me into a DJ, and she would get me a DJ for a good price, but all I want is a sound system. I'm just so tired of dealing with them.

So, so cute!!

That does seem high. I managed to negotiate with my hotel for a basic bar - beer, house wine, margaritas, pina coladas, soft drinks, and water for 51.00/4 hours. I was originally going to have a full bar (not top shelf) for 3 hours at 53.00 for the 3 hours. Our friends and family are definitely drinkers, but we didn't think they needed the whole bar, so I'm so happy they were able to negotiate this with me. If you ask, I bet they willl negotiate something similar to this.

Happy planning and congratulations!

That is awesome and inspirational! YOu look fabulous! I am not liking myself in my dress, and you have provided me with hope! Thanks!

We have decided on assigned seating. We are having 31 people, but we just thought it would be best if we seat people where we think they would be happiest like family with family and friends with friends. We've decided on 2 long tables, and we will sit amongst our family at one table. But, i'm sure there will be a lot of mingling!

Enjoy! And, good luck!

I finally got an email back from Kelli at Mexsun. It took so long to get back to me, I'm a bit nervous to book them. But, it seems everyone who has used them has had no issues of them not showing up. Don't know what to do!

Welcome, and have fun choosing your site!

Beautiful and fun pictures! Looks like you had an amazing day!
They canceled our flight
in General Wedding Planning Information
Posted
Oh, I"m sorry that happened. It my happened to my family coming into Cabo. They cancelled their flight and automatically put them on another flight that wasn't going to work with their connecting flight into cabo. It could've been a huge mess, but it was caught. I know it's another big headache you don't need, but it'll work out!
