i've bought shoes from ebay seller "shoediet" before. not sure whether it gets complicated since you're in canada.

holy crap do i feel like a slacker! absolutely AMAZING. love your dress ... the train is gorgeous! for the notebooks, can i ask where you found the logos for all the resort restaurants? by the way, i loved this: "so if it looks like yours, it probably is!" ... it's so true ... the girls here have thought of EVERYTHING. every time you think you have a new idea, you'll find that 10 brides have already done it, and done it WELL. so much credit needs to go to the ladies of this forum for their creativity and generosity of ideas! that said, you've really taken it all to the next level! congrats on an amazing job!

those are GREAT, janet! very clever!

i'm definitely in again ... ann, i'll PM you and paypal my entry fee now so i don't forget. ann, i think 2 missed weigh-ins in a ROW should be the disqualifier. i've never missed one myself (other than while on vacation, but i notified you), but i could imagine it's very easy for it to slip your mind if your life is any busier than mine (i.e. if you have kids, two jobs, etc.). 2 in a row is fair. morgan, i personally like to weigh-in *every* week. having to remain accountable to someone is a huge motivator for me. it's like "i have to be good ... or ann and the girls will KNOW." haha! but if other girls find the opposite i'm game for anything.

Poor Matthew as well he will be extra hot in his suite. Thanks did you mean Citlali? i know some girls have used her. she is part of claudia's team and is really good as well. i'm pretty sure all her team's work is also on her website. i too am going to die of heat from my heavy satin dress with cathedral train, but alas it's the one that made everyone cry, so it's the dress. i figure if i have to suck it up, then so does my fiance!

I'm not 100% sure though. crap. not exactly what i was hoping to hear ... for that much extra, i might as well hire claudia rodriguez for 3 hours for $1500. problem is, i'm having a hard time convincing tom. *sigh*

i say go for it! show those curves off! p.s. i like this one better than both of the others you posted! the back is STUNNING!!!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by JHarwood2Be I love those! I came across those a month or so ago and I had a hard time deciding which one to put in my siggy. YES! i knew there was someone on here using that one in their siggy! first time i saw your sig i SNORTED!

best.thread.title.ever! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

number one all the way. i don't even know why you were having a hard time deciding, haha! it's perfect, stunning, and unique.

i got lucky ... one of mine got married, so i have a maid and a matron of honor. if that wasn't the case tho, i think i still would have given them both "of honor" positions! they both deserve it! one is my niece (i was her MOH in her wedding) and the other is my best friend (for 24 years now). i also don't think that you necessarily need to have two best men when you have two MOHs, but that's up to you.

Quote: Originally Posted by nicmicj I think they told him they may not come in hopes that we would change our minds about having the wedding in Las Vegas you think, or you know this to be true? if you only think that was their motivation, then you both really need to sit down with them and talk about why they may not come. is it finances, health reasons, fear of travel? do they have something against vegas in general? do they not approve of the marriage? is it because it won't be in a church (or one of their religion)? do they think that vegas weddings aren't "real?" it could really end up being something so trivial and something solved easily with financial help or a quick education, LOL! at any rate, as with most things in life, communication is key. you could always tell them it's already booked and your family and friends are already booked too, so it can't be changed because you'd lose deposit $$$, etc., but it's really important to you that they are there. some people think that we chose to have a destination wedding because we DIDN'T want them there, or didn't care. maybe they just need some ego-stroking?

Quote: Originally Posted by happygilmore Those are too funny.....and I am sure some guests feel that way! I really like the one about "your wedding is the perfect chance to see a place I'm not really dying to see" I am sure some of my guests think that about the DR but I am sure once they get there they'll love and want to go back! yeah i liked that one too, as i'm sure mexico isn't everyone's first choice for vacation! my guests will actually be in mexico over memorial day weekend, we are using an ipod for reception music, and i'm the last of all my friends to get married (and the only one who hasn't been divorced!), so i thought these were really appropriate. besides that, i'm a sarcastic b*tch, LOL!

Quote: Originally Posted by lucy106 I have not gotten a PM from you, did you still want these items or no? if you don't hear from her, i will take the bouquet starfish. it's the one with the clear stones, right? PM-ing you now ...

i love that you were sure to get so many good shots for us, with all the necessary angles! LOL ... scrapbooking ... not that i know you or anything, but that dress just seems so *YOU*, ya know? Quote: Originally Posted by DallasAshli Have you ever seen that Friends episode where the girls sit around the living room in wedding dresses? I think we should have a meet-up at someone's house so we can all wear our dresses all day Haha, that would be so funny! OMG that would be the freakin' best thing ever! knowing me, i'd end up spilling a drink or something tho ...

you can tell from the pictures that you just LOVE it. congrats on finding "the one!"

that dress looks way better on you than the model ... she's like square, or something! GORGEOUS!

you'll need a certain kind of humor to enjoy these ... this one is especially appropriate for me:

Quote: Originally Posted by Dana_C I haven't heard back from the WC at DC yet...did you all reserve your date directly through DC or through your TA? this is simply the MOST frustrating part of a destination wedding ... the WCs are very slow to answer emails! some girls had luck with calling. i found that once i put my TA on it i got answers faster. the best advice i can give is to be as flexible as possible with your wedding date ... they book up fast! try to give first, second, and third choice dates, and if they turn up unavailable, try asking what dates ARE available in whichever month you're going for. best of luck! afterward, everyone always says they stressed over the lack of communication for nothing ... most things can be decided or finalized when you get there!

Pleaase post or direct me somewhere I can see them Thanks Brides!! we got the club tower junior jacuzzi suite, so i can't really help you. it is one bedroom and has a jacuzzi, so maybe it is actually what you're looking for? we didn't see any reason why the "master suite" would be better for us, but it was more expensive (it has a second jacuzzi in the bathroom, otherwise not much different!). one girl on here did get the "presidential suite" ... that was definitely impressive! don't forget to add your name, screenname, and wedding date to this thread: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t24950
