poor baby! I'm glad he's ok though. Where are the staples? be careful he doesn't pull them out...my daisy had surgery in March on her knee, we can home from dinner one night (we weren't out more than 2 hours and it was abotu 3 days before she was to have them removed) and she pulled them all out and needed an emergency trip to the vet, new staples and had to wear a bucket on her head for 3 weeks...literally, here's two pics

She can also do your own, not to mention that she will make your own per your specifications and put an ad just for you to see and purchase, she e-mails you pretty fast too. I don't know if i will purchase it as my fiance wants real flowers and so do I but i'm afraid of getting there and them not having blue flowers to accent my white flowers, for my tiffany blue style wedding. Anyway, 149 is not a lot, so if you get there and they don't have the flowers you want, you can use the silk flowers, or you can get the extra...so really if you buy the silk flowers, you would only be giving yourself more options. I think this is the route I am going to take, but I welcome pictures of the free flowers if you have them... so here's the ebay flower lady i talked about 21pc Bridal ROUND bouquet wedding flowers BLUE / white - eBay (item 180199029377 end time Jul-20-08 22:37:44 PDT) I look forward to more ideas on this flower deal Why not ask the people in FL if they have the color flower you want? I was asking about flowers, but I guess they are in teh middle of changing vendors and my wedding is too far out to quote me prices....just an idea, the FL office has been super helpful for me.

Wow, I can't beliece they did that to you! That's complete BS!!!! Did you have other guests staying there? were they able to get a refund and book at the new resort?

I'm a Moon Palace bride. When it came time to choose a resort, we were debating between dreams and MP. This is why we choose MP... - We've stayed at Palace resorts before and had an AMAZING time - I get to arrive in a Horse Drawn Carriage lol - Jaczzie in every room - Excursions included if guests stay 3 or more nights (Tulum, Chiten Itza, Isla Mujeras, Coba) - If you stay at one Palace resort, you can go to any (we are planning a trip to the Cancun Palace for the day after the wedding...AMAZING beach and I believe they provide shuttles every 4 hours) - The resort is HUGE...there's something for everyone. I'm sure there are more reasons. If you have any questions, just ask!

I haven't posted here yet, but I've been following it. I'm glad things worked out with your paretns and their new grandson, but I wish you mom told her "NO" at least the first time they asked her to babysit LOL I guess i'm like you...I hold grudges

Wow, ok, try to take a deep breath and relax. Everyone is OK and on their way. I'm sure your parents are absolutly mortified that this happened to them and hopefully they'll learn from it. The most importatn this is that they make it there for your day...they're the ones who lose a day of vacation because of it! **HUG**

Uh oh...I didn't invite my any of my BM's parents...including my BF since we were about 11. Should I talk to her about it? If I was having a traditional wedding, they'd be invited...uh oh

I'd say get them something from your trip

Ooooh, I like what Becks said

Ok, so I told you all I'd post this morning...well....FI is down 15 lbs (as per last night) and I'm doing 12-13 lbs (as per right now). We were going to take two days off and then start again, but we're going away this weekend. So we'll probably take the week off and eat sensibly and then start again next Monday. I just want to thank everyone for your support. We couldn't have done it without you!!!

Oops...double post

Thanks! I keep stressing that if you're average to thin, you'll lose less and probably slower, don't get discouraged! I don't know. I think I read no on the sweetners, since the diet is a "detox" also. But I know others have used them. I think that rule "in moderation" would work

I agree, just try to stay way from the sauce if you can and you should be fine. I wouldn't worry too much.

It's gotten me on the right track to stay away from bread and pasta. That's awesome! Congrats!!!!!!!! Wow! You leave in 2 days! How exciting!!!! I didn't weigh myself today...but I'll let you guys know first thing in the morning. I know FI is down 15lbs, i can't even explain how happy he is and proud that we made it the week (with minimal "cheating"...ie - going out for dinner Tuesday night). We did it! For those of you just starting...YOU CAN DO IT!

very nice! they look great

How you feeling? "Hot Hot Hot"...sorry, broke into song LOL Did you make the whole pot spicy or just the dish? I added the pepper to my bowl individually, so if I put too much, I can thin it out.

I turned down Ice Cream Cake - My FAVORITE and passed on a delicious chocolate chip cookie someone put down in front of me...but I did eat a piece of Veggie Hero (with the bread) and Chicken Cutlet Hero (without the bread). But we took the dogs for a walk this morning, so I dout the bread was horrible. I think I might go have some soup....

My name is AshleyRose and I'm from Seattle. I've been reading through this whole thread and there is so much great information. I called Palace Resorts last week and immediately was sent two really great PDFs that have all the ceremony locations and all the reception locations. It was nice for me to have them all in one place -- including the max occupancy. Thought they might help someone else as well if they are looking at MP. There are SOOO many options! Welcome! Congrats on your engagment and choosing the MP. Of course you can post here!!! Thanks for the attachments

Whoohoo!! Good luck! Congrats!!!!!!

I hear you, not sure we're going to make it through today...We have a thrid bday party (our ring bearer) and a christening party today...lets see how we do LOL

I am blaming the diet! I wish I could blame the diet!!!! It's not though, FI has sleep apnea...if he doesn't sleep with his CPAP, he's good for sh*t the next day. And if he falls asleep midday, it's usually hard to wake him up (unless he uses his CPAP). It's always been this way. When I came to bed last night he appoligized abotu 3 times. He also appoligized this morning. I didn't say "it's ok" which is what I think he wanted. But every time he said "I'm sorry" I just said "I know" (made him feel a little more guilty lol)

I know you got a few hours...but I'm waiting to hear how today goes

I am so jealous! Have a great time!!!!!

Whooohooo! Congrats!!! Can't wait to see the pics!!!
