The thing is that I wasn't planning to do a makeup trial...I think the MAC makeup artist will know on the day of my wedding. I hope so! I look better with warm tones, definitely. Shannon, great list. We are all getting close to our weddings, especially you!!

12 hours!? I'd be gone like after 3 hours. Lol. Yeah, I am having makeup done by a MAC makeup artist. You're right, I am going to play around with the colors!

you will be a beautiful bride, amy! i'm trying to decide if i should do brown/gold or gray/black smokey makeup. my color theme(black, hot pink and white) is a cool color so i am not sure if i should match my makeup to the overall theme. ahh, decisions! i think gray/black smokey makeup is way to go.

I think that it's ridiculous that in order to reserve at one of the restaurants that it's $15 a person. It's an all-inclusive so I don't understand that at all! Sorry I had to vent. I know! Photographers are expensive but are worth it. I so love del Sol and Elizabeth Medina but they were not in my price range. That is why we are not doing a welcome dinner but doing a welcome get together at a bar at Gran Porto.

congrats!! love how tan you were!

I love the first one, Amy! If your nose is huge then mine is too!!

wow, a white dress? slap that bitch! goodness! It sucks that you have a crazy MIL. I'm one of the few ones that don't have a crazy MIL.

Omg, amy, i wish you luck with that! haha. what kind of hangover pills? i want to have that. diane, i know what you mean. i am not a heavy drinker. i am gone after maybe 4 shots. i just have control issues and i hate feeling out of control when drunk. who knows what i will say or do?

i am just praying that i won't get so plastered because i hate hate hate hangovers so i will be pacing myself with water always in my hand. it's just that i have a couple of persistent friends who will shove drinks in my face. lol

hey! i have my bachelorette party on may 8 too, diane!

Everything looks AWESOME!! I love the birdcage veil. You will be a beautiful bride!

jen, that is awesome! she is awesome to work with. I was going to go with her but decided to go with an outside florist. have fun and have a beautiful wedding!! please come back with a review!

I know, i just can't concentrate on work at all!! I try to finish a task like for 10 min then it's back to BDW! Lol. I am seriously going to be in a funk after the wedding. What to do with my time!?

Yeah, the axxium cost $45 here...i'm trying to figure out which color is best for me. I think the color I have right now is too pale and if you take a quick look, it'll look like I'm not wearing any polish. Thanks, Karen!

Shannon, I got the OPI gel nails too and I asked for a french and they told me it wasn't possible. =( I have light shimmery color. Maybe I should try another place that does it. I really want french!

AND we appreciate each other so much more, too. Aww, of course, you learn from the mistakes and your marriage will be better because of it!

Omg, she's SOOOOO CUTEE!!!

Almost every close family relative/close friends are going to the wedding so we're stuck with the boarding. I wish we have that option but I don't think any of our friends who are not going to the wedding would want to stay at our house and plus we don't have a guest bedroom. Oh well, Bo will survive! lol

ahh, that makes sense, diane!! we are single so it is easier for us.

Oh good, your list pointed out some stuff that I didn't write down in my list like confirm reservations for the puppy for boarding. Aww, I'm going to miss my puppy so much. I know, super lame. Lol.

Whats your reason for getting married before going to Mexico? I feel that we're still going to have to pay for $400 for a justice of peace so why not get married in Mexico? $170 for blood tests is not that lot.

Thanks! So Shannon & Amy, good luck with the final details & planning! Your day is almost here. EEK!

Thank you, JT3!
