this is from the dreams/amresorts site (amresorts include zoetry, dreams, secrets, and sunscape resorts)! it only applies to new bookings, but might help convince a guest who panicked and canceled to rebook? and will definitely be great to tell any guests of weddings later this year who are still on the fence: Flu Free Guarantee If a guest contracts Influenza A - H1N1 while staying with us, their next three vacations will be free of charge. In order to qualify, the guest must have reserved their stay between May 8, 2009 and June 30, 2009 for travel taking place between May 8, 2009 and December 20, 2009. New reservations only. There are many strands of H1N1, therefore it must be qualified as Influenza A - H1N1. The guest must provide positive blood results in addition to the certification of the doctor who performed the test in order to redeem the three free return stays. The three return stays are valid for the original traveler plus one companion. One complimentary stay per year over the same travel period as the original stay. Blackout dates and restrictions apply. Based on availability. Redeemed stays will be awarded for the same number of nights and in the same room category as the original stay. In order to redeem, guests should contact [email protected].

you guys are SO photogenic and look absolutely amazing!!!!

i'm freaking out a little! i am suddenly really nervous about the wedding ... not of marriage at all, no second thoughts or cold feet, but about the wedding itself and things going smoothly (or not). i had another weird wedding dream last night where i was having a panic attack as i was getting ready ... except i was a black woman in the dream, lol ... it was understood that it was supposed to be me tho, somehow. maybe i did too much tanning? LMAO last night i tied tiny ribbons on bubbles and finished tying all the ribbons on those bookmarks. those little things are so tedious, i swear. friday night i designed my table numbers but i'm still not sure how i'm displaying them ... probably need to buy something for that. in my spare time ...

i'm not sure WHY i all of a sudden decided to do these, when i have SO MUCH ELSE still to do and under 2 weeks til we leave for mexico! i guess just another procrastination tactic, LOL, because these were a lot easier than the other stuff i have left, lol! i just printed them out on card stock, laminated them (on the machine at my work), cut them out, punched holes, tied ribbon ... done! one more thing for the OOT bags (great for people who read on the beach), and they are super light and easy to pack!

aww jaime, i just totally cried reading this. *hugs* i think the ring on your garter belt will be a really sweet and personal way to carry her with you. i have to ask, are you incorporating butterflies in your wedding at all? i think it could be another really beautiful way to honor her memory without being too sad on your happy day. i know she will be smiling down upon your wedding, and as others have said, so very proud of the woman you've become!

ooh i'm so excited! thank you SO SO SO much! i'm off to go read your review now...

Bach "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" violin by Reed Allen

yay jennifer, so glad to see you back! i did get your email but then tried to email you back and couldn't for whatever reason. weird. glad you're back in on the starfish tho ... we all knew how excited you were for it! jacilynda, welcome to our little group of ladies sharing diana's starfish! hopefully he will travel for a long, long time ... it will be really neat to see all the places he goes!

just listened to my walking down the aisle tune and got all choked up and nervous, lol ... holy crap this is really gonna happen in a few weeks!!! for the legal ceremony at dreams, do you sign the wedding certificate as part of the actual ceremony? and do you sign your name, or your new, married name? LOL dumbest question ever, but i had to ask (hey, i've never done this before)! and i blame all stupidity on wedding-brain!

just busted out a last-minute DIY ... bookmarks ... just to have something else to put in my OOT bags. i have so many important things left to do that i have no idea why i just did that. guess it seemed easier than the other stuff, lol!!!

i have to say i've been down on my TA but she really has been rocking out this week! she basically went thru the trouble of canceling and rebooking all of our rooms in order to get us all the $250 resort credit that is now offered, lol! i am scrambling to get crap done ... just made my escort cards and busted out a last-minute DIY (bookmarks) just to have something else to put in the OOT bags. so since claudia never answered me, if i am having the buffet, how many choices do we get? is it 3 items from each course, or 3 entree choices but only 1 choice from each other course?

yikes, cattie! is he ok?!?!

hanna that's great! i agree, this is one of those cases where the groom is kinda important, LOL!

omg jaimelynne! i am the same way with "the principle of the thing" and i would have been absolutely livid as well. seems like he raised the price just to screw you ... way to lose a sale! if he only had any idea how much business he just lost by pissing off a BDW bride, lol! jerkoff. glad you found something else!

steph, thanks for asking ... i'm trying not to freak out because i still have TONS to do ... a lot of things i thought i'd do will probably just get scrapped. at least programs and menus are off the long to-do list now because my stupid wedding coordinator never gets back to me with any information!! eh, she made my life easier anyway. i'm over it. there are still lots of things to do that are actually necessities.

jessica that looks a little like my list would look if i had the guts to make one!

another great set of photos ... getting excited!!!!

happy wedding day to jax and tracy!!!!!
