they look great! good job!!

So, I think my scale (or my body) is off at 5am...but, according to it, it says I've lost 6.5lbs...I'll weigh myself again when I wake up again at 9

wow! everything looks awesome!!!

hmmmm..I'd say, if you MUST get married in the states then keep is hush hush. Tell FMIL that you've changed your mind and will just do the legal stuff in Mexico...how will they know you didn't. ONLY have one or two friends that you can trust come with you. And as far as everyone else knows, you're getting married in Mexico, not the states. I agree that it's completely not fair for one family to be there and the other family not even have the option. The only other solutioin would be to actually do the legal stuff in Mexico (if you don't want to lie to people). Sorry if I'm not being much help. Good luck! Keep us posted!!!!

Tell me about it! It's only been 2 days and FI and I agree that it was the best tasting talipia and chicken we've ever tasted LOL I am sooo happy we can have fruit again tomorrow...it'll add variety

Don't know how I missed this last night Your shower looks great! The tea cups idea is so cute and I LOVE the drink cart!!!!! Looks like you had a blast

First - You look great in that dress! Second - Your daughter is adorable, and the matching dress is sooo cute!!! Third - OMG your son...I just want to pinch his cheeks, he's so cute!!! Great find on the dresses!

I haven't sent anything out to the guests yet, so I would have to skip that and just ask people if they're coming and ask them for their deposit. So, I'm thinking maybe I'll just forget about booking it as a group and pay for a cocktail party if we want one. I just wanted to see what others have done! Sorry I'm just asking random questions... I don't have much in the way of answers yet to help anyone else out! Thanks! When is your wedding date? We're booking through a group. With our group guests don't put a deposit down on their room, when they book their room, they have to pay in full. That being said, the rooms are on hold until 45 days before our wedding, so we're telling people they don't have to book their room until November if they have to wait to save money.

I have no idea about vinegar. I have a confesstion...We ran an errand with FMIL tonight and then she took us to Caraba's for dinner...wich was PURE TORTURE! (how can you say "no"). But for dinner we both basically had salad, FI's had chicken in it and mine had talapia...we were able to pass up the bread in olive oil dip and passed on the "potatoe" for tonight since we had meat in our salads. I'm feeling really guilty, but we are both going back and picking up on Day 3 tomorrow. On a side note...I'm less bloated, my ring, which has been "snug" for a while is comfortable (I haven't worn it since Sat because of that whole serrated spatula + thumb = bad thing...I posted a thread on it LOL).

Morgan, we'll miss you! Have a great time!! Can't wait to see pics!!!!

OMG that is sooo adorable!!!

From FL "Also, tour information can be found on our web-site Palace Resorts - Tours . Have your guest log on there so that they can make arrangements. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Have a fabulous day!" When you go to the link, it says this "If you want to request additional information regarding the included tours, Elite Tours representatives are available at all Palace Resorts from 8:00am to 8:00pm. You can also write to: [email protected] Note: Reservation required upon arrival to the resort. Services are arranged through Elite Tours. Departure days, times and prices are subject to change without prior notice." I'm thinking you might be able to email them to set up your tours ahead of time to make sure they don't fill up. If you want, I can give you the email address of my contact in FL and maybe she can find out who's helping your TA (if it's not her). She's only in the office Monday, Wed, and Fri and it takes 24-48 hours to get a response...but she does respond! Let me know.

Not true...you can via their website. Do you have the link for guests to book through? Or do they have to contact your TA and she'll book for them?

Thanks for posting the awesome list!

Plus, on the top right you'll see "Quick Links" if you click that you can go down to "Subscribed Threads" and it'll list them all with the most recent activity ones first

Every message I post in I get subscribed to...so when someone else posts I see it listed and there a little check mark next to it, I know I've posted in it already.

Salsa is tomatoe and I was thinking of adding some to my day, so why not

Dez did you ever go for the Apostille Doc yet? I just realized that I'll be there when you get married Might be leaving that day though...or have I noticed that before and just forgot...I swear this wedding is making me crazy! No, we haen't gone for the Apostille yet....We'll go by Sept Try FL first...do you know who your TA is dealing with in FL?

Should I be more pushy bc i need answers NOW haha. Who do I talk to to set my cocktail hour up?? I have a TA, but I am also in direct contact with the resort. I set up my own ceremony and stuff and just used the TA for the guests rooms. That being said, your TA is right...however, the people in FL can send you the request forms and then put it through to the resort. I don't know if they can guarantee you'll get what you want, but you have a better chance. They can also answere a lot of questions you might have, at least for me, they act as a middle man...I ask them, they ask mexico, they tell me the answer. Hope that helps.

I went ahead and bought the flowers. They look gorgeous. Are you going to get them? I am still doing real flowers at the resort, but unfortunately those are adding up fast! So for $249 (including shipping) I ordered my bouquet, MOH, bridesmaid, grooms, 2 groomsmen, mother corsage, hair flowers (I think 7 total) and 5 cake flowers. I read all the reviews she has on Ebay and they were all good. Let's keep our fingers crossed that they are all they are supposed to be. We are running out of time! Keep posting girls! Dez, anything new from the resort? Anyone else? Nicole I've been slacking a little...I need to put in my request for the coctail hour and receptioin......I have a lot of things on my plate right now, so it was easy to say "I have seven months, I'll get to it" LOL I should be able to get it done tomorrow hopefully

Quote: Originally Posted by KBMD12309 Is having my cocktail hour on the sand silly? I plan on having my ceromony on the sand as well. do they even set up chairs and tables on the sand or do you HAVE to have it on a terrace or in a restaurant? I think Ive been watching too many wedding on the beach movies bc i dont want to be disappointed with my own wedding on the beach. ARGH! I know they can do a beach set up. Not sure on the details other than it's an additional $10 per person. Also, Moon Palace's beach can be seaweedy....

I recently cut my hair short about chin length and was hoping to keep it down (now im growing it) but i dont want it to blow all over my face and ruin the hair style. Actually, in my avatar pic, my hair is all back and curled. I have naturally curly, stubborn hair so I'm going to have it put up. I think I want it up the way it is in the pic (FSIL's wedding). We took pics of the front and back that day so I'll have something to give them to work off of.

I don't feel like running to the store, if I did I would have to try the spinach in the soup. Maybe I'll go, FI loves spinach and I'm sure he'd be happy if I did that for him. Oh yah, he said he'd eat the soup with me at night for dinner but he had toast and dr. pepper too! lil stinker! Sorry about your sweet tooth! I don't really have one- THANK GOD or I'd be dying too! Hang in there, tomorrow you can have fruit. It's mean that he's eating the toast and soda in front of you, but it's still really cool that he's supportive enough to eat the soup two days in a row! I LOVE baby spinach, it's my salad preference I read somewhere to add red pepper flakes or franks red hot or werchester sauce or something to make it a little different...helps keep you from getting board so fast.

Quote: Originally Posted by froggie1013 I'm curious to see how you guys do on the tomato day. I did a similar diet a couple years ago. Six tomatoes is a lot more than it sounds.

Quote: Originally Posted by monicabrandon2008 I added red pepper to mine for lunch and dang that makes a difference!! I love it! Doesn't it How are you doing today? I've had one bowl of soup with one can of spinach in it and have been full all day...except for this damn sweet tooth...I've been craving sweets (I also have PMS, which doesn't help).
