Mrs D To Be!

thanks for the review - i think i may be stealing your hans zimmer track for my entrance!lol can i ask one question - we are planning on doing a ttd session, but wasn't sure if the beach at moon palace would be a good location, because of the seaweed situation - did you do yours at the mp beach - and if not, how long did it take you to get to a near-by beach? thanks in advance, and again, thanks for the review - very helpful....your pictures make me feel at ease about using the resort hairdresser and make-up artist - you look gorgeous!

Hey V, thanks for your kind words..thats why i LOVE this forum! well i've managed to get back down so still 17lb lost in total! woo hoo! lunches seems to be a biggy for me..and getting my ass to my monday classes! I find if i don't go to them, my eating plan suffers for the rest of the week. So i went last night for the first time in about 5-6 weeks...and man did i suffer! felt great today for it! hoping i lose something this week, even if it is just a half pound...fingers crossed!

hey ladies...i know what your saying, the beach outside isn't any good for swimming in...but....how far is it til the sea is ok to swim in? are we talking a wee walking distance - like 10mins? or further/longer? Just wondering!

Hey ladies Well I have to be honest, i'm doing absolutely rubbish these days! Over the past 2 weeks i've gained 2lbs and fear it may be more this week...we went away for the weekend and since then i've just not been able to get into it. Only went to one class last week, and the same this week...we haven't had time to go our shopping either, so thats been a big problem for us...means at dinner time the only real option is takeaway. I'm aiming for starting back on monday...I know I should be aiming for this weekend...but its easter weekend! bad fiona, i know! Hope your all doing better than me xxxxx

Hi MayanBride09 - try searching how to uploading pictures in the search engine - it would be really cool to see your picture - Cecilia's work i've seen in the past has always been fantastic! Well I am pretty sure I am going with one of Claudia R's associates - I was originally going with Claudia, but most of the work I've seen on this website was by Citlalli - don't know whether that was by choice or availability - either way, I have decided to go with Citlalli. I am soo excited - I can't wait to get my pictures taken!! And its not til next year!ahahaha I had originally had my heart on Elizabeth Medina as well, but this forum is brilliant as I found other photographers who also do exceptionally great work, for lower prices.

omg how much excitement! I hadn't realised the website had been updated to include 2010 weddings - I've booked my already - and thought i'd check to see if they had blocked it out on the website - and they have! woo hoo! I can see my booking! Love it!

welcome to the forum lisa - i'm also from scotland - hope your destination wedding plans work out - this forum is soo helpful - don't know where i'd be without it!

too slow! i was soo after the martha stewart stuff...boo hoo!

Welcome Jenny! I think I can speak for us all in agreement that the last few pounds nearest to your target weight are the hardest to shift - so don't worry! I've lost 17lb since january and have been at a total stand still the past two weeks - gutted! but i'm guessing i'm at that bit where it starts getting really hard to budge the weight...its hard to stick at it when there are no results as well! my ticker says i still have about 11lb to lose, but i don't think i'll want to lose that much...i'll maybe change it after the next 5 or 6 lb is lost....if it ever happens! good luck lady, and remember to check in with your weigh-in results - it really does work coming on here...i dreaded it for the first few weeks incase i didn't lose...but everyone is soo encouraging!

Right now my TA assures me that she can get us $396/night, but it's still so much for me to ask guests to pay. thanks, we can't book our accommo and flights til next month because the ta doesn't open their bookings til then...suppose it gives us time to get the deposits saved! This saving for a wedding is harder than it should be! We will all be flying from the uk, so everyone is treating it as a big family summer holiday...we won't know for definite how many will come, but the general word is everyone will be there. It is alot of money, and we accepted from the beginning we might get married with the closest family only, which is fine with us tbh. Where else are you looking at lady?

I was soo pleased! But I went to lots of legs bums and thighs classes, as well as body combat and body attack! Got a wee routine going on now and loving it! Also walking more than you can imagine! Got a pedometer as well, so that should give me targets to aim for! Went and gave blood today though, so have to miss my favourite body combat class tomorrow I've never done yoga, although done a wee bit of pilates in the classes...I can see how it must work wonders - the pain!!!lol Have a good week ladies...and see you all next week...i'll probably put it all back on - bet my scales were acting up!lol Lisa - where are you!? Missing your updates lady xxxxxx

Hey everyone! Just needed to let you all know....thats our wedding date and time slot booked!! woo hoo I'm soo happy! I was apprehensive mostly about getting our time slot, because I know moon palace do lots of wedding each day, but I really wanted later in the afternoon so the sun isn't so warm...and we got it!! yeah, so i can relax for a few weeks til we need to go book the acommo and flights! yeahhhaa finally things are moving...i've been on this site soo long it doesn't feel real! hee hee We sent our STD's out a few weeks ago, and only had 2 back..the only 2 we sent to that side of the family Its so frustrating, because we included stamped addressed envelopes...there's no excuse!! We got personalised stamps, and a few people did say they didn't want to send them back to us! But the incentive was that we would book their holiday for them at the same time as booking ours, and them maybe get them a group discount. Gave them til the end of March, so I suppose they have time on their hands, but I'm not chasing people! Rant over!lol

Oooh I'd LOVE to have a beach lounge!! Anyone know of any companies that would do the set up at Moon Palace?

hey girlies! Back on form this week! Woo hoo! Lost 5lb!!OMG!!! I think my body has been catching up from the past few weeks! I did work really hard at the gym last week! Went up the loft at the weekend, and brought down loads of clothes THAT FIT ME now!! so feeling great! Lets hope it keeps up!

hey girlies, just realised I didn't post last weeks weigh-in result for me....I gained a pound! We did have a terrible week, h2b was off work with man flu and eating lots of bad foods...i couldn't let him do it himself!lol But this week has been better for me...Weigh-in on monday morning so will report back in a few days! Lisa how did your weigh-in go? xxxx

I've not even got a contract through! I faxed my request for my date about 2 weeks ago! I ended up phoning the miami office and got a confirmation number that I have my date and time, but I haven't got a contract through apparently because they can't get a hold of the judge to confirm they can do my wedding! boooo

yeah its on the official website i found the dress, but there is no supplier in the uk, and there is no way of purchasing the dress direct from the supplier either (or so the q&a section on their website says!) I just wish someone/a shop would stick it up on ebay!!! would save me a lot of hassle!lol

I've just dropped them an email - worth a try. What i'm finding is alot of stores stock the bridesmaid dresses - not so many have the bridal collection. boo hoo Lots of time ahead, not ready to give up yet!

Jim Hjelm Bridal Couture Bridal Gowns - Bridal Style jh8906 by JLM Couture, Inc. I did find a bridal store online...bridal reflections I think it was...and they quoted me $3500...totally out of my budget!! I'm not giving up though...surely i'll be able to find it somewhere at a more reasonable price!?

hey, i'm looking for 8906....if anyone finds an online supplier I swear I'll love you forever! hee hee

yes i might have to do that...i have looked on ebay but the one i love isn't up! I'll keep looking and hope an ebay seller puts it up at some point!

Hey all I am IN LOVE with her dresses, but have just found out there are no suppliers in the uk!!! gutted! whats that all about?! So...can anyone direct me to any american websites that I can purchase a Jim Hjelm from? I can't seem to find any websites at all! please help ladies!! xxxxx

Or should I send out the STD's now and Invites 1yr in advance Thanks for any suggestions We sent our stds out last week, giving people til the end of march to reply so we can start booking everyone at the ta - we want everyone on the same flight, so figure its best to get them all booked at once...also means more chance of a group discount at the ta's! lol then nearer the time, we will send out invites to everyone who is booked up!

are you all booked up then sunstarsmoon?

anyone managed to book up their 2010 wedding yet? its getting to that time, and i can't contain my excitement! woo hoooo
