And they lived happily ever after!

Another thing to remember is that although it's really hot in Mexico, it is also really, really windy, especially if your wedding is on the beach. That's the reason my daughter didn't wear a veil and wore her hair up, and the tendrils still flew everywhere in the wind. Also, we had fans for the guests and they were just in the way; they certainly weren't needed! I think you'll be just fine with the sleeves. Also, when you think about it, alot of the grooms wear jackets - your sleeves certainly won't be hotter than than!

Congratulations! You won't regret having a destination wedding. You'll find lots of info on all the resorts in Mexico here on the forum.

Have fun making plans for your wedding.

Have fun planning.

You'll find lots of great ideas here on the forum to help plan your wedding.

Welcome Amanda & Cory! Have fun planning.

You have come to the right place for encouragement and honest answers. First, I love the dress you picked out. You will look gorgeous in it - really. Let me say also, that if your FI is as incredible as you say, he obviously saw something wonderful, special, and beautiful in YOU. Secondly, my daughter had a white pashmina (shawl) that she wore over her wedding dress when it got cooler in the evening in Mexico and also at her AHR in the air-conditioning. It looked really great with the dress, so if the sleeves don't work out, at least you have another option. Good luck with the shopping.

It was on the Northwest weekly email update I receive. Of course I've deleted it, but I checked on their website and leaving Philadelphia on Aug 27 and returning Sept 6 the roundtrip price is $908. It's $737 if they return on the 5th. This includes taxes.

Greece sounds like a fun and exotic location for a destination wedding.

Welcome and congratulations on your engagement! There's lots of info on your potential locations here. Good luck!

Congrats on the engagement!

I wouldn't wait very long before booking something.

Welcome and Congratulations, Mary.

Morgan, the glasses look great with your Fiestaware. Great choice!

Good luck with the planning.

They sure could take our money, though....

The guys did a deep-sea fishing trip - if you can call it that. What happened is the ocean was so rough they couldn't even stand up and were falling all over each other. Everyone got sick (on top of the "Revenge") and had a miserable time. They came in two hours early. When we asked the company why they didn't just cancel the trip, they said WE didn't ask them to. Huh? Who's supposed to be the experts here? The next two days the marina was closed because of high waves.

Thanks! He's been my sweetie for a long time now! Have you started packing? Don't forget to take lots of imodium.....we learned the hard way that you can never have too much!

There's an auto dealership in Columbia, Missouri named after the owner: Richard Head Auto

And- I was hoping to see some pix of mama! :) Shannon, I changed my picture to one that was taken at the wedding of Mandy's dad and me. Mandy already got the CD with all the pics that Vanessa took - she was so quick with getting it shipped FedEx to us - it took right at two weeks. Mandy still has to order her photos that were included in the package; it's so hard to decide which ones she wants!
