Those CD's look great. What songs did you put on them? Jessica - those flowers will look great in the centre pieces. Make sure you post a pic when you have one together.

It is hard to ingore the phone calls, and to not call him, but you have to fight the urge. After things simmer down, you will be glad that you were able to have that time to yourself rather than fighting on the phone and getting no where.

Welcome to the forum. There is so much info to be found and used here that you should have a great time planning your wedding and picking a location.

Very nice pics!!!

That does seem high. I would definately check with your TA. Something is not right.

Okay, you definately need to stop answering the phone now. He is trying to manipulate you through the phone now. Trust me on this. I have been there. If he calls back again, either don't answer it, or just tell him that you are going to take a few days to think things through and you suggest he do the same, and while you are thinking, you will not be answering the phone and taking his calls. Then get off the phone! Otherwise it will just keep going in circles. You both need time to clam down and figure things out yourselves before you can figure things out together and have a rational conversation. TRUST ME!!!

Thanks for sharing. I would love to go to NYC one day. It is on my list of places to visit. Now just to find the time and someone to go with, as I can't see my FI go there with me. He doesn't even like go into Edmonton! He is a country boy through and through, and doesn't like to go into busy, crowded places!

We were given group insurance rates as long as so many people booked and got the insurance through them. As for the trip, we booked 10 seats in order to get group rates, and we put peoples names in for them that we already knew were coming. Then as they offically booked themselves, they paid their deposit and that went towards my parents trip since they paid the deposit. A couple days before we booked the taxes went up by $10 a person, and then about a month later they went up by another $30 because of the fuel costs. The base price that we were quoted is still good for everyone that is going to book, but the taxes can fluctuate. Actually, the taxes dropped recently by $150 per person since they took the fuel surcharge off, but I don't think it is a permenant thing.

I went to Vegas a few years ago for my Dad's union meeting. My Mom, sister and I drove down (3 day trip each way) and stayed at Bally's. I have never been to Vegas before and I haven't been there since, but I liked the hotel. The room was nice and big, the bathroom was nice and the pool want' really anything special, but it wasn't dirty or gross. When we were there we basically only slpet in the room and that is it, as we spent all day out on the strip and checking out all the other hotels. My sister was only 10 at the time, so we were limited on certain things we could do, but the evenings were filled with a dinner and activities that the union had arranged for the families. The one hotel I wouldn't stay at - Excalibur. We got lost in this casino and it took us almost an hour to find our way out the right door. If I never set foot in that casino again, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. A hotel that I want to stay at - Luxor. I just love the looks of it, and I want to ride in the elevators that go at an angle. Corny...yes, but I am fine with that! LOL

That is gorgeous!!!

I think you definately need at least a few days apart. He is obviusly still wound up, and he needs time to think things through as well. One piece of advice, try not to talk to him much if at all for the next few days. If you are always talking on the phone with him, then you might as well just be at home with him. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you can't talk to him at all, but just be aware that this is time for you two to do your own thinking and then you can get together and talk things out. One time when I went to the city for the weekend to see a friend, FI and I a big fight before I left and he thought maybe we should take a week to figure things out, but as soon as I went to the city, he was calling non stop. I only took the phone calls in the evening so he could say goodnight to the kids, but really, he said he wanted the time to think, and instead he spent the time calling me. Arrggghhh! MEN!

Welcome to the forum and have fun planning your big day!

WOW!!! That is a wedding day you will not forget for more reasons than just marrying your bestfriend. You should write this all out in a scrapbook sort of how you did it for us so you will always have it and others can read about it. You looked beautiful and I am so gald that the flowers turned out so wonderful too. I can't wait to see the pics from Jason too.

Welcome to the forum and have a great time planning your big day!

I probably wont be wearing mine, but my daughter broke my glasses about a year ago, and I never replaced them yet. Before she broke them I wasn't wearing them very often anyways because my script was not right and it bothered me. Really, I haven't worn them for a few years because of when I had my cataract. Anyways, I do need to start wearing them again, so I either need to get them fixed or get new ones.

Those look great. I haven't used vista print yet, but I keep hearing great things about them, so I think I will have to see what I can order from them.

Grat job on the invites so far. I made our invites as well, and I think it was more time consuming than anything. I did each one myself too, not that I didn't have offers to help make them, but people are busy with their own things and I just did them in the evenings after the kids were asleep. Now I can tell everyone that I did them myself, and I get all the cresit! LMAO

I love the rings. They are gorgeous!!!!

Congrats on booking your resort. It is such a relief once that is done. Cuba is a very beautiful country!!!

Welcome to the forum. Have you tried Old Navy for a shirt for your son? They had some really nice ones there a couple months ago.

Your pics look great!!! I love the Thank you one, but they all look gorgeous.

Make sure you post pics when you are done making them!

Others that went to the resort with us that will be going back for our wedding are excited to go back as well.

I'm sorry that you are going through this. At least you were able to go to your parents place to relax and think things through. Honestly, after tonight, I may be going to my parents for a bit too. But that is a different story. As some people have commented, running away from the problem and the situation is not going to help, but sometimes you need to remove your self from the situation for a bit to calm down and think things through before you can sit down ans have a good, honest and effective conversation. That actually came from a counselor who also teaches anger management. I think you have tried to make things work with him, and obviously you both need a little time to think, and now is the time. Good luck and hope things work out for the best, whatever it is you decide.

i used the hot glue gun to glue the wire onto the bottom of the shells, then placed the rose petals where I wanted them and twisted the wire from them around the wire attached to the shell. Then I cut the wires to the length I wanted them and used flower tape to wrap them up. Then I hot glued the starfish onto the shell. Actually, I was planning to put the starfish at the base of the shell, but when I put it down to tend to my kids it fell in the shell and I liked it. I asked FI what he thought of it, and he liked it to....which is amazing, so I decided to keep it. Really, they were super easy to do!
