I wouldn't wait for her to contact you... I would contact her. I would send your papers over. I think most brides have scanned and emailed them to Chandlyn about 30 before the wedding.

Great question! I was also wondering about candle prices.. even just regular votives so I wouldn't have to bring them in my luggage.

My fiance got a linen suit that is a similar shade of ivory as my dress. Our dads and best man are going to wear linen as well, but in a tan or khaki shade.

Congrats!! I'm not an August bride, but I am getting married there in Sept. Have u sent your paperwork yet?

The current actress is doing a good job, but I still see her as Ally from the soap Loving that used to be on ABC a looonng time ago!

Nicholas and Rebecca are definitely getting on my nerves! If they didn't want to get rid of the actress that plays her, then they should have kept Emily alive! Rick is leaving the show, but I am sure they will keep the possibility of him coming back open. I am not sure if I like Johnny and Olivia together... its kind of wierd....

My favorites are Melissa... b/c she is 29 and kicking ass! Its nice to see someone my age working it up there with those younger kids. And Vitolio... he is so cute, I love his personality! I also like Evan and Phillip but like others have stated they are limited and I doubt they will make it all the way. I also like the Cuban girl from Miami, I think her name is Jeanette or Janet? I just hate her hairstyle.... :/ Its hard to keep track of names this year. This far into the competition, last year, I knew everyone's names. Its just not the same...

I forgot to mention that I loved the opening number to that Pitbull song! I love Tabitha and Napoleon.. hope to see lots more from them this season. They are by far my fave choreographers!

LMAO! I do the exact same thing with my DVR! I can't stand her voice or that damn screaming! I can't even take her critiques seriously! Is it just me or is her nose getting smaller and smaller every season?? She needs to stop it with the plastic surgery and the fake and bake! UGH!

I DVR everyday as well. Jason, Sonny, Johnny, Jax... plenty of eye candy!!! Is it just me, or does anyone else kind of like Claudia

U must be reading my mind! There are definitely WAY less reviews! If you look at the dates, there are at least 10 weddings each month! There have been several awesome brides that have written great reviews and have been extremely helpful. But, they can't do it alone! Come on ladies, give back what you got from the forum!

Thanks again DrBrainFreeze!

The $10 charge for open bar is for you to have your own private bartender. My understanding, from what other brides have posted in their reviews, is that there are not any bars that are really close to the pool. The poolside bar closes when the pool closes. So, your guests would have to go for a walk to get a drink, plus wait for a drink if others (not in your wedding party) are in line for one. Definitely email Chandlyn with your preferences when u decide. She will send u a confirmation email stated what you have booked. The earlier the better. You can always change your mind, if another option is still available.

Ok ladies... yet another question about the poolside reception. Did you have any issues with mosquitos during the time you were poolside? Since they only put one candle on each table, I am thinking about bringing some extra and was going to get citranella (or however u spell it) if buys were an issue. Thanks!

I chose the beach gazebo b/c I love the beach and if I am going to Jamaica, I want the beautiful ocean as the backdrop. However, I know alot of people are not big fans of sand, so I think that is what makes some brides chose the pond gazebo. Also, if you plan to be married in heels, u may want to do the pond gazebo, as the heels will sink in the sand and make it pretty hard to walk.

Very cute! The bouquet on the left looks perfect. I would just suggest adding a few more blue flowers to the bouquet on the right to make it look more even.

The dress looks gorgeous on u! Your new dress must be pretty amazing if u are selling this one!

I am doing the poolside reception and would like alot of candles on each table for ambiance. I emailed the wedding coordinator, and after waiting several wks for a reply, she let me know that the set-up only includes one candle, white linens, and flat/stemware. Have any of u requested extra candles? If so, was there a charge? I figure I would get a quicker response from u ladies, rather than wait another few weeks for a reply.

Oh and I forgot to mention, registering with the FI was torture! He was not into it at all and I was ticked off! We ended up arguing by the end of it! My advice: take a girlfriend with you! You will end up picking out all of the stuff anyway, without the headache!

We decided to register as well. Several people had asked us about, that were not able to make it to the wedding. Rather than receive random stuff that we don't need/can't return we thought it would be easier to let others know what we could use. We have been living together for 3 yrs, so its not like we are starting from scratch. We also made it clear that if people were coming to the wedding, we do NOT want them to buy us gifts.

Erin B - I agree with u about Evan possibly being in trouble if he is partnered with someone taller than him. I love him though! I hope he can hang in there!

Thanks Carolyn! That price is not bad considering they are customized.

I loved the Hills, but it was sooo sad to see how Heidi changed. It is the classic scenario of why you should never choose a loser guy over your girlfriends. During the last 2 seasons there were small glimmers of hope that Heidi actually saw Spencer for the piece of sh*t he is... but then she would take him right back. I still can't believe the way he spoke to her mother and sister. That right there lets you know what kind of boy (not man) he is. The fact that Heidi's cowboy dad accepted him, lets you know how fake it all is. No father would accept him as their daughter's choice. If anyone ever talked to my family that way, there would be no future. She deserves all of the heartache that is heading her way.

I totally agree with you... I liked last year's dancers MUCH better. They had more likable personalities. I was really disappointed that Max went home. I didn't like the choreography they had to do and his outfit was TERRIBLE!!!! But, those things are out of his control. In week one, he kicked ass with that sexy tango he did with Kayla. I am so disappointed to see him go! I hope the choreography improves...

Just tell her the bags you did for Carolyn she should remember. They had to ship them to me down in Westchester so I'm sure they would have no problem shipping down to you. Thanks for the contact info! Do you remember how much each bag cost?

Thank you for sharing your review! Your pics are gorgeous! I love your personalized OOT bags. Where did you get them from?
