HAHA! I love it, I wouldn’t change my hairdresser relationship for the world, she came to both of my weddings, Mexico & Vegas
You’ll get your location, I have no doubt!

The only difference with the premium is the Jacuzzi outside in addition to the inside one. The pool water is warm at night and we hardly even had to use the jacuzzi’s while we were there, I don’t think the extra money is worth going premium.

My reception was at Zocallo al Fresco, the entire patio of the Zocallo restaurant. I’ll send you pix if you want!
LOVE THESE! Did you use, big and something.com ? I made inspiration boards for everything, love your whole color scheme and feel!
I was there May 2010 for 2 weeks and the towel cards were in effect. Maybe premium sections have better towel privileges? -
Rachel - HAHA! Thanks girl, I was blessed with 2 coffee's today, one from husband and one from boss!
Christie - Anytime girl!! Sometime's, esp wedding/AHR planning we get into a slump and need to vent, I've been there too, we all have so I'm happy that I can cheer you up at least one iota!
Rachel is right though, people suck, I never knew how much they sucked until planning my wedding, that's for sure.
You'll see, when you come back on here raving on how amazing it was and how much fun you had, you'll forget what you were upset about in the first place! HUGS! XOXO

Aww Christie!! Well, don't get me started on your sister... a lot of us know how she is so we're gonna move right over her because there's sometimes no understanding her actions.
Also, people are strange, everyone feels entitled to a piece of your wedding and slighted when they don't get the specific piece they want then bitter at some point. I've had one of the most turbulent years regarding my wedding celebrations it's insane.
All you have to realize and know is that those 50 something replies that are attending are people that LOVE you and are happy for you. Screw everyone else, focus on them and know these are truly people that support you.
Just try and shake it off and know that you are going to have the BEST time at your AHR, it's so much more carefree and fun, I guarantee you won't miss anyone who's not there. It's going to be amazing hun!!! XOXO

Love it Karen! Same here... so much crying at my ceremony, I'm glad other people cry. Most peoples pictures, everyone is perfect and smiley and I just don't understand how they are able to keep it together, both me and DH totally lost it. My entire wedding was crying after our ceremony it was crazy!

This is so funny because it’s my biggest complaint too. I get carded 99.999999% of the time… I’m talking about cigarettes, rated R movies etc. I always get a laugh or a scoff too if I’m tryin’ to buy alcohol if I’m not done up to the freakin’ 9’s. It’s really annoying when people tell me I look 19… I don’t WANT to look 19!

What youtube videos did you watch... I watched a few last week but didn't find any really wedding specific one
Hmmm I need to find that video… I was searching for smokey eye tutorials because that’s what I wanted on my wedding day. So the video may not be pertinent to what you’re looking for… AH I found it!

I told them where I wanted my reception and requested to reserve it very early in my planning stages. First come first serve I’m pretty sure.
I decided on my reception location because I knew I definitely didn’t want it on the beach and I definitely didn’t want it in an open space. I wanted it more private, more secluded and somewhere I could hang my lanterns and lights etc. After getting confirmed on my wedding day, ceremony spot and reception location was the very first thing I did.

OMG, these have me cracking up!! The hands are SUPER creepy and they do look really heavy.
I've never had the pleasure of receiving a terrible sweatshirt or anything like this. I'm not good at hiding how I really feel so it wouldn't go over well. How do you girls keep a straight face when you receive gifts like this?!
-
Ange!! I still can't believe you're leaving in DAYS!! Your planning thread rocks, I know you're indecisive but you made some really amazing decisions and I love your dress so much. I am a huge fan of the simple classic gorgeous dresses!
Also, thanks for the shout out, I know my chair signs are in Spanish but I totes would have sent them over to you!!!

Gorgeous Karen, they were definitely worth the wait weren't they!
-
Great slideshow Karen!!! Your pictures are gorgeous, you must be in heaven!
The look you're giving your new husband after you both are walking down the aisle is the same exact look I gave my husband after we walked down the aisle, I have a picture I want to put side by side, it's pretty amazing
The one where it's a shot over one of your bridesmaid's shoulders and she's reading her speech and the look on your face gives me chills, love it!
I also love the shots of you two in the ocean, so happy and carefree.

Yes, Lady Di here on BDW used Mac down there I believe and her makeup is stunning! She’s also a very naturally pretty girl but you should ask her.
Woo hoo!!

I'm pretty specific, I knew that if I hired someone to do my makeup (which I hadn't read good reviews for when I made my decision) and they did a crappy job I'd be pissed and have to do it for myself anyways. Do you have girlfriends that are good at makeup? You could ask them or bring pictures of what you want.
I did my trial in January and literally every time I put on makeup, which is really only for the weekends, I practiced doing my wedding look and perfecting it and practicing put on eyelashes. Now I'm actually really good at doing my makeup and got a lot of compliments on my wedding makeup from other brides asking me who I used. D just 2 days ago mentioned something about how gorgeous my makeup was and asked who I used! I said, hello I did it myself, you didn't know? He said, "wow! It was really good, you should be a makeup designer!" I don't know what a makeup designer is but I'll take it as a compliment.
LOL, omg I would smack him! You should start faking him out and showing him pictures of things you "decide" on that are really ugly, not your actual decisions but just to freak him out... omg I'm mean aren't I? -

I did my own makeup, got a lesson and bought stuff from Bobbi Brown and loved it. I cried like a baby and nothing moved, all night long, everything stayed in place. -

If it makes you feel any better, Tiffany got a lot of complaints from the girls that had her for being out of communication and unwilling to work with people like help them out. You're new coordinator is a fresh start and hopefully will work more with you.
If it makes you feel any better, Kiara told me the same thing, she told me the chair pricing is pretty ridiculous and they never bend on it. I asked her if she'd try for me and she said she would. Once again like Meredith mentioned, kill 'em with kindness and know that the WC's are not the ones who make decisions, they don't price us, they are just our via to Lomas (the real enemy) LOL!
As for the TA, that's about the point I requested a new TA. Had I not done that, I think I would have actually melted down completely!

Just saw this and thought of you ladies, healthier lasagna with the nutrition facts and everything!
Rehab Lasagna
Ingredients:
9 whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound button mushrooms, sliced
3 medium zucchini, sliced
1 medium eggplant, sliced
2 (28 oz.) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
16 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
1. Prepare the lasagna noodles according to directions. When cooked through, set aside on paper towels to dry.
2. Sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, zucchini and eggplant, and cook until tender. Mix in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with spices. Simmer for five to 10 minutes.
3. In a small bowl mix together the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses.
4. Evenly coat the bottom of a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish with about a half cup of the sauce. Remove another half-cup of the sauce and set aside.
5. To assemble the lasagna: Top the sauce in the baking dish with an even layer of noodles, cutting to fit the pan if necessary. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the lasagna noodles. Then layer with half of the remaining sauce mixture. Repeat.
6. Top the final layer of noodles with the reserved half-cup of sauce. Sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese.
7. Cover with tin foil and bake in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the cheese has browned.

Chong - You can bring as much as you want, you just pay for it. Check the specifics on the airline you're flying. Ours were by number or by weight and we paid to bring them all by weight I think which ended up being cheaper.
I pre-packed all my luggage and weighed it and measured it and calculated out exactly how much it would be etc.

Congrats and welcome!! I am also a past Sensatori bride, come join our thread!
Nicole is totally right, reading through the whole thing will answer TONS of questions

Karem - you're a GREAT wifey, I didn't wait
Ok, just saw them... one gave freakin' chills!

OMG Franklin is killin me! I was LOLing last night as his overdramatics with Tara running away, her crying over them feeding her flowers, the texting, I love it!
AND Jason, hello, if all cops looked like that I think I'd be speeding more often
I'm kinda confused at the love interest thing with Lafayette, it seems a little out of left field unless something dramatic is going to come of it or it ties in somehow.

I spent the month before my wedding laying everything out, packing and repacking and making a list of what was in which suitcase and who was bringing it down. I spread a few suitcases between some of my bridesmaids. I actually bought super cheap 3-piece hardshell luggage on clearance. Your bags get seriously tossed around so pack well, pack with cushioning etc. Nothing broke in my suitcases, then on the way back I just put the suitcases inside each other and came back with much less.

Here's my confession for the day... I hate the fact that I'm changing my last name so much, I never wanted to. I seriously considered just not doing it legally just because it's such a PITA until I got a free membership emailed to me on Thursday from MisstoMrs.com that helps you easily legally change your name on all the vital forms you need to, I guess it was my sign

Thanks for the info on this ladies. One question about swim ups... since most of the pools close at like 6pm (I think that's the case anyways) are you able to use the outside jacuzzi &/or little pool section outside your room AFTER those regular hours?
Am I totally wrong that the pools close like that? If so please set me straight.
pools close? Well... not in my book they didn't close and nor did we follow that rule. Immediately after my wedding, my wedding party & husband all jumped in the pool with their clothes on and then we all immediately changed into our swimsuits and jumped into the adult swim-up bar area bringing all the alcohol and Tecate we had in our rooms since it was obviously closed. A guest hoped over the counter into the bar and served us all pretzels in a margarita glass. It was pretty funny and we noticed security watching us but they didn't say anything Another night we swam up when the bar portion of the adult swim up bar was open, Wave Lounge I think and we asked if they would still serve us even though the pool was closed and they said yes.... they are SUPER lax on their rules.
You can use the jacuzzi or pools outside your rooms whenever you want really. I'm sure if you were really loud they may say something
My requirements for rooms when i travel to the beach generally are to be as close to the beach as possible and to not be on the ground floor. From what i can tell, the only truly oceanfront rooms are the honeymoon suites.....Also, it seems the "premium" rooms are back behind the pool. I had ruled out the swim ups b/c i normally like to be up to see the sea good.
Currently we are just booked in the luxury jacuzzi oceanview (b/c it is off gorund floor and as close to beach as possible). my TA (which i have used for years) says she thinks this room suites me best b/c of my previous travel choices, but you all have me wondering if i should just do a swim-up thoughts
