i agree about drinking off the cold! or um, tea or coffee would do it too, lol
i wouldn't wear jeans but a cute dress or nice pants and top should be fine. i think winter is the perfect time to do a tropical theme ... it will get everyone all in the mood and excited for your wedding!
sorry i don't know that resort's policy, but remember, there's usually a way to get around crappy exclusive photog policies, like if your photographer is a guest of your wedding. welcome and good luck!
touche! so can we just gang up and kill all the skinny bitches? lol ... sorry ladies, i'm rotten today. i've been trying to fatten up my skinny coworker so i don't look so fat next to her, lol!
