Kristy!

Welcome! You'll get more info from here than you'll know what to do with!

Hi Yvette! Welcome!

Welcome! Ready to deal with all of us crazy girls?!

Congratulations! Happy planning!

Hi there! Have a wonderful time planning!

Congratulations!!! You must be so excited!!

We're Chris & Kristy, so I understand. Welcome to the forum!

We're here for you! Welcome!

Welcome! I'm doing the villa thing as well, but in St Lucia.

Welcome! We're happy to have you here!

Welcome! You're going to become a BDW addict like the rest of us!

Glad you're here! Welcome!

I'm taking my man's last name. I like my current name, but there's something special about sharing his. I don't feel like I'm losing my identity or anything and I'm excited about it! BTW, I also knew a couple of kids growing up that had two hyphenated last names and they were constantly questioned as well. I always felt bad for them. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Time to restock my cabinets and fridge with healthy stuff! I'm off to WW on Thursday. It will be nice to have another support system with you guys!

Still deciding huh? I've heard some wonderful things about Windjammer. If I was going with a resort, that's probably where I would go. I believe Paula Dean from the Food Network did a special from St Lucia and she stayed at Windjammer. Maybe you could check that out. FI and I went to St Lucia last October and just fell in love with it. We stayed at Coconut Bay which is on the Atlantic side (not the beautiful Caribbean beaches you get on the Caribbean side) but we knew this going into it and got a good deal. We got to explore the island a little bit so we saw different areas. The island is absolutely gorgeous. It's so lush, so between that and the beaches, you really have the best of both worlds. And the locals are very friendly. Chris and I are so excited to take our friends and family (about 40 people) there because none of them have ever been there and they are just going to love it. Unfortunately the flights are a bit expense, but St Lucia is worth it! Let me know if you have any more questions. I would be happy to answer for you as I have done TONS of research on the island. I'm obsessed! Also, Tripadvisor is a great forum to check out. I'm excited there's another (possible) St Lucia bride!

Thank you Christine and becks. I was hoping to see some other people's take on the fans (like yours Christine, making them grape-shaped). I guess I should check out Aylee!

I saw one that was a different style than I was looking for, but I didn't see a whole lot come up. Then again, I'm still learning my way around here so I easily could've missed something!

Is anyone using programs that fan out (like these)? If so, can you post some pix and if you made them, the template as well? I really like this idea, but don't want to pay a small fortune for them. Thank you!

I think I am in love with your invitations. I completely flipped out when I saw them!

Here are a few pix of the outside of the villa: Taken from St. Lucia rental villa, Capri

Here's mine! Chris picked it out all by himself. I'm so proud!

Thank you! What's weird is that I can get it on the threads, but it's coming up Invalid File when I try to add anything to my profile. Grrr... At least I know how to do this now! Thanks again!

I'm not sure where to post this, but I need help. I cannot figure out how to post pictures. I'm sure once I get used to this site I'll be fine, but I find it confusing to navigate. Can anyone help me?

I'm still learning how to do everything on this site. When I figure it out, I will! For now, here's the website of the villa: Villa Capri St. Lucia Caribbean / Villa Capri Home Page

Welcome! I'm a Newbie as well. We're looking into having our honeymoom at Excellence in Punta Cana, so I'm interested to see what you have to say about.
