your siggy pic is GORGEOUS! HOLY CRAP! are your eyes really *that* blue? one question based on your pics ... were your bouquets the included ones or did you have to upgrade? i love the birds of paradise and your bouquet as well (my colors are reds and oranges).

In fact, the terrace looks like crap now! I think that they are revamping it or something. Had it not been for the weather, we probably would have still had the reception there, but don't be surprised if the pics aren't what you get... huh? what's wrong with the terrace? i will be having mine somewhere else if the terrace is crappy now, that's for sure! any pics? i thought kat's reception was on the terrace?

major congrats to kelly and all our fellow losers! $510 is a nice prize, but successfully losing the weight is even better! and hey, i DID make the top-10 LOL!

Kat Messer's Photos - Our Wedding | Facebook wow you weren't kidding! your hair and makeup look gorgeous! nice to see that the undecorated wedding gazebo looks perfectly fabulous that way. no way am i paying hundreds of dollars for TULLE!

Having a DW was the best decision I made even though everything was so disorganized. Having the people I love the most with me for 4-7 days was amazing. I LOVED it and wouldn't have traded it for the world. wow kat, i would have gone apeshit over the video AND the mic thing too. i'm so sorry you don't have a video to show grandma! but, you still say you wouldn't have traded it for the world, which means more to me than any other part of your review, positive or negative. so glad to hear it, and that you had a beautiful day. can't wait to see pics! welcome back and CONGRATS! p.s. we got a club jr. jacuzzi suite, so i'm stoked!

Quote: Originally Posted by kristi Can anyone tell me about the sand ceremony?? Did anyone do this and if so did you bring your own stuff?

Thanks a bunch! this is what claudia sent me for the sand ceremony, which she said was no problem to incorporate, even with a civil ceremony (i was afraid i wouldn't be able to add anything). i would think most use two colors of sand. and i guess it can be done sort of like a unity candle, where your mothers or parents first fill (or bring up) the two separate containers, and then the two of you fill the larger, center container. _________________ & _______________, you have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings, and this covenant is a relationship pledge between two people who agree that they will commit themselves to one another throughout their lives. The most beautiful example of this partnership is the marriage relationship. You have committed here today to share the rest of your lives with each other. Today, this relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand one, representing you, ______________ and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, and the other representing you, _________________ and all that you were and all that you are, and all that you will ever be. As these two containers of sand are poured into the third container, the individual containers of sand will no longer exist, but will be joined together as one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage be.

well, i did it! i managed to make it over the 10 lb. mark! LOL it's silly how happy it made me to have lost 10 pounds, since i have SO much more to lose, and i should have lost more than that in 8 weeks. best of luck to you all, and i'll see you in BL4!

we have it on our website listed immediately under the heading, "Guests NOT Staying at Dreams": "If you must find alternative accommodations elsewhere, but wish to attend our wedding, a day pass may be purchased." i think that pretty clearly states that staying elsewhere is not ideal, and that we will not be paying extra for those who choose not to stay at our wedding resort--that it will be ON THEM--and i think i said it nicely enough. i didn't mention the cost of the pass, but i did list our travel agent's contact information stating that she could help them find alternative accommodations and answer any questions they might have.

Neimans has it too, but I'm afraid that sounds too snooty. so what if it "sounds" snooty ... all it means is you have expensive taste! i say if they have the china you love, register for your china ONLY at neimans, and then choose a more affordable department store for most everything else. some people wouldn't be caught dead shopping somewhere like target for a wedding gift for fear of seeming cheap ... others may fall into the "it's the thought that counts" category and will be grateful for the more affordable option. we figured everyone's spending so much just to attend the wedding ... so we registered at target. then again, i never wanted to register for fine china and such, as i already have a set from my grandmother that i never use! we need more of the "everyday" kinda stuff. if you want finer things, you have to go a little more upscale!

Quote: Originally Posted by S2BLennon I think that we are definitly doing Linens n things.

Also, most people get coupons in the mail for this store also so my guess it would help financially for your guests. linens n things is CLOSING as far as i know. someone else posted here that they filed bankruptcy, which would mean it's not just my local store. i personally would not register there for that reason. bed bath & beyond is very similar, so you may want to consider them.

wow that's got to be really hard to take, and so hard when people look to you to always be the strong one ... i'm so sorry! you definitely have the forum for support. hang in there! be proud that your wedding will offer your family a joyous occasion to get together for, and know that your dearly departed will be there in spirit.

wow you've really made a visible difference! way to go! i love that you were able to slip on a skirt (that you couldn't fit before) without even unbuttoning or unzipping it! that had to feel really great!

yay i found your review! sorry i nagged you! we booked the jr. jacuzzi suite too ... i'll have to make it a point to use that jacuzzi! LOL i can't believe you guys never got in it! did you use the jacuzzi at the spa? so glad gustav gave you a break long enough for the ceremony ... yours are the first pictures i've seen with bubbles! i was starting to think bubbles at a wedding were just a local phenomenon! never really thought about doing dinner in the ballroom just to get some air conditioning! might have to consider that! love your beer coozies (or whatever they're called) and looks like everyone had a fab time! a million congrats!

LOL ... have any from family that you can share in the meantime? throw us a bone! one question: did you do the civil or symbolic ceremony?

you girls have done great! i'll be happy to not come in last, LMAO! i figure so what if i didn't win (or even come close) ... i'm still DOWN from what i was! i'm SO in for BL4! holy crap ... K&Rwedding ... TWO HOURS a day at the gym and nothing but veggies and brown rice you DESERVE to win, LOL!
