I think it is past time for Evan to pack his bags! He is my least fav... on the girls end....I really was not impressed at all with Janette. Jeannine is my fav and pick to win. Kayla is good too but I dont think she will make it all the way I did like the Ade/Melissa number last night. it was good. I do though think that Melissa may be going home soon, if not tonight then next week.

aww great slideshow! I love it! congrats!

oooh your wedding will be at Casa Velas? awesome! we honeymooned there! that is the link to my review that Edna posted. WE LOVED LOVED LOVED it there...where will your ceremony be? at the hotel or beach? Yeah, any questions just let me know!

OMG! your pics are amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I love the one of you two sitting by the fountain/water (whatever it is) towards the end...and the ones of just you at the beginning are great too! AMAZING!

thanks everyone! Quote: Originally Posted by IMPPEARL Thanks for the advice on using your original dress for the TTD.

I was worried about using it as the TTD, I didn't want to ruin the beading etc as I think I'll wear it again at the AHR. Its nice to know that yours turned out ok! yep so our AHR is this weekend and I will probably wear the dress for a bit...I haven't even taken it to get cleaned yet! oops! sure it is not totally white and you can def. tell it has been worn, but for what it went through I think it looks pretty darn good. I will get it cleaned after the AHR!

hahaha JL is JaimeLynne, she got married at LC on 5/24...so I think now that I have my slideshow hers will be the next LC one coming!

I was just going to say that Kristi was BUSY today! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the underwater shots came out great, love your ceremony pics! the two little kids hugging and dancing totally cracked me up! and the guestbook dry erase boards were awesome too! HOORAY FOR KLK SLIDESHOWS!

Kristi has done it again! We just got our TTD slideshow today and I LOVE it! Reggie & Andi's Trash the Dress Session! for future brides: I wanted to do a TTD from the very beginning of my planning and I wanted to use my original dress, I had a lot of people that thought I was crazy for wanting to do this but I think as the end result shows it was worth it! actually the pool totally cleaned the dress...after a professional cleaning it will probably be as good as new!

awwww poor little guy! Keep us updated on his progress! he is breaking my heart!!!!!!

awww man I was sad to see Randi go, I kinda liked her. Ellen as a guest judge?! that should be funny, she cracks me up! Quote: Originally Posted by gossip girl Um as equally distracting is Fergie's boobs.

I think my pick to win it all is Jeanine she is just so darn cute! I was suprised Evan was not in the bottom...I really don't think he is that good of a dancer compared to the other guys that are left! I wasn't really suprised to see Melissa in the bottom, for some reason I just don't like her much (don't get me wrong she is a great ballet dancer) I am just over her...and so over Jeanettes bangs too...wtf is up with those things?! I just want to take a bobby pin and pin them back for her.

Quote: Originally Posted by jojoxxo ANDI- i forgot i had a question for you! I am waivering back and fourth on doing the whole ipod reception thing, i think you mentioned that you did the i-pod reception, how excatly did it work? was it worth the money saved? or do you think i should just get a dj? oh um so...I think I mentioned this somewhere once too. the ipod ended up working out totally fine and I would do it again but I did have a glitch or two with it...however Nicole saved the day on that and I was pretty much oblivious to the problems with it. So I freakin spent WEEKS on those dumb playlists on itunes, had them all broken out nice into "cocktail hour", "dinner", "dancing", etc. all the ceremony music was broken out nicely too in playlists. well I waited until the last minute to put the playlists on my ipod, I think I did it the night before we left (mistake). I had planned on having both back up CD's with the playlist and then also having everything on both my ipod and DH's...just in case. well I never got around to the CD's. so songs were just on 2 ipods. Get to LC, day of the wedding. pull out my ipod...DEAD. pull out DH's, songs are on there but NO PLAYLISTS! btw, this ended up being my one kinda stressed moment of the day. Nicole, takes both ipods and says she has a charger with her in the office to charge mine and that she will mess with them and see if she can't figure out the playlists. Well I never heard from her again on that. so then my dad and I are walking down the steps and I can start to hear the music...it was the right music!! ceremony goes on, all the right music is played, so i figured nicole fixed my boo boo....it wasn't until towards the end of cocktail hour when I heard I song that wasn't on my playlist...no biggie, I just heard it. I ask Nicole much later in the evening about the playlists....um yeah she said that one of the VA staff guys was running the ipod and scrolling through ALL the music b/c my playlists were f'ed up.... (ok she didn't say f'ed up, i added that!) anyway, the ceremony stuff was played correctly because she had taken my programs where I had it all listed out and she figured it all out...pretty much seamless! It ended up being totally fine, NOBODY knew a thing expect me....I was so mad at myself for not checking the playlists! the LAST thing I wanted was to have someone running the ipod and SEARCHING for songs.... oh well, long story short...I would do the ipod again (but check your playlists) to save a few $$$!

Quote: Originally Posted by ldeavila I just got a reply from a WC regarding legal ceremonies at LC and this is what she said: "Our ceremonies on Las Caletas are spiritual ceremonies, meaning, not legal ceremonies. Due to the logistics of Las Caletas, the judge who performs the civil ceremony (i.e. legal ceremony) will not go to Las Caletas, so if any of our clients require a legal ceremony, it is something that we do separate and in our offices in Nuevo Vallarta before the big ceremony on Las Caletas. The good news is, is that our main offices are located in Nuevo Vallarta, in the state of Nayarit, and here we do not have the same, strict guidelines for civil ceremonies as Puerto Vallarta (Jalisco state). I can arrange for you and Adam to meet with the judge here at our main offices to do the civil ceremony the day before or even the morning of your spiritual wedding at Las Caletas. What is also good news is that the marriage and morality class is not required here, meaning that you will only need to be here 4-5 days in advance - just enough time to do your blood tests and get the results back." huh, maybe that is what nicole meant by doing legal one...that they do it at the offices

Quote: Originally Posted by ldeavila Hello, For those that have chosen Las Caletas as your wedding location...can you actually have a legal ceremony there? I was reading on a website that specializes in weddings there that you can’t actually legal get married there since it belongs to a different municipality. They stated that you would have to take care of that before you leave for Las Caletas…usually the morning of your ceremony. And then I read on another website that you can get legally married there. Which one is true? So can only have a ceremony with a minister? I’m confused! Please help me! so to get legally married in Mexico there are certain restrictions. like for example you have to be in the country for 3 business days before the wedding, you have to get a blood test done down there, umm i think there is more it but those are the big ones. So i think it is safe to say that MOST mexico brides legally get married in the states then go to mexico for the symbolic ceremony. in regards to Caletas, again I think they can do the legal ceremony there but you should check with Nicole or Kelly. I think I remember nicole telling me something about it but I can't remember totally

oooh what an awesome find! and they are cute too!

I have never voted but I thought about it last night!

Kathy - good review! hmm you think Randi and Kupono though? Kupono does rub me the wrong way but I don't know if he will be eliminated quite yet I hope Evan and Melissa or Janette go (ack don't throw tomatoes at me for saying that! I really just don't like either of those girls! IMO, Melissa is overrated, she is really getting on my nerves for some reason too!)

Quote: Originally Posted by msjcastillo Hi Andi! I love your reception set up- the pop of color is awesome! I had two quick questions about some of the items you posted: 1. Where did you find your lime green parasols? I found them at Hobby Lobby - I had one pink, one orange and one green one...how many do you need? i actually left them there! and if you notice there were 2 orange ones at the end of the aisle on the ceremony set up....I *think* Nicole has a couple there. not sure though you should ask! 2. Was it cold enough for your guests to use the pashminas? (I'm getting married in December & don't know if it gets 'cold' enough there at that time to justify the purchase to my FI). honestly it was not cold in april! however the boat ride back got a bit chilly, just a bit....I too waivered on buying them thinking nobody would use them but then on the boat I saw one of my friends all bundled in it and she told me "i am so glad you thought of these...I would be freezing right now without it!" so that alone justified my purchase on that Also I bought them in China town in NY on a trip there for like $3-4 each so really they weren't too bad on $$$. Hmmm I did my site visit in December, I am trying to remember, the weather was def. warm in the day but I think it did cool down just a bit at night. Thanks! Jessica hope those answers help!

this vase was on our sweetheart table, put my bouquet in it during dancing and stuff matches on the bar: crown, we bought on our own and gave it to Nicole, DH loves crown and wanted at the wedding (even though I dont think he really drank any of it!) tequila table...i went back and forth A LOT on even having this...SOOOOO Glad we did, it was a hit! cake and cake boxes this is a good pic of how they change the ceremony set up into the dance floor and finally....an LC at night pic, ahhhhh you can't beat that! ok i think that is the big stuff....seriously let me know if any of you B2B's have any questions, before I was old and married I couldn't wait for the LC brides to post info like this it helped me a lot!
