I love my last name as well and it would be way too spanish sounding if I hyphenate my name but my husband's last name is beautiful so I don't mind dropping my last name.

If you guys never been married then you don't need Apostille. A passport and tourist visa will do it.

Thanks so much for writing this review! We did Xcaret and loved it. We will go back in Oct so will keep this review in mind!

Here is a picture of the back. I can't find any pics from my wedding day so this pic will have to do!

Beautiful pictures, Kendra!

Oops I forgot to put down "shred the chicken before putting them in the pan" SHRED THE CHICKEN!!!

Magalie! How can you have two years of honeymoon?? I am so jealous!! Congrats!

I don't want any babies anytime soon. Maybe when I'm 30-31. I'm 27 right now.

I cooked a delicious mexican chicken lasgana last night! SO YUMMY. 1 1/2 lb of chicken breasts 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small onion (chopped) 1 can of black beans 1 can of diced tomatoes 1 can of green chiles (mild) (I couldnt find any so i got diced tomatoes with chiles) 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning (i used mild) 4 wheat tortillas 1 cup of reduced fat shredded three cheeses Boil chicken for 30-45 minutes until done. Put onions in a skillet and saute them with olive oil. Put black beans, diced tomatoes, chiles and taco seasoning. Cook high until the sauce boils. in a 8x8 pan, put one wheat tortilla on the bottom, put in the vegatables, then chicken, then cheese and repeat until you end up with the tortilla on the top and sprinkle cheese on the top. I added spinach to it. Cook at 325 for 15 minutes or until its done. Put some lime on it. Oh so good!!

Hello ladies, I am selling my wedding and TTD dresses due to lack of room. TTD Dress I bought this from another BDW member, Linda. Here are the details of the dress in her words. I did not get this dress altered because it fit me perfectly. This dress is Destiny Impression Destination Style 4869. $90. This dress is White and HAS been altered to fit me on the top(about to a sz8 ) and hemmed for my height (Im 5’2 and used 3†¾ in. heels when I was measured). I am sure it can be let out back to its original size which is a size 10. I wore this twice because I had two TTDs. I had this dress professionally cleaned which was $50 so I am including the cleaning fee so I am selling this dress for $70 or OBO. This is a great dress a trash the dress session! Wedding dress I bought this off rack for $400. It is a White One brand dress. I can’t find the style online. This is a size 12 dress but can fit size 8-10. I had the top altered to my chest (36C) and had it hemmed to my height because I was wearing sandals. I am between 5†5 and 5†6. I am sure the top can be taken out to its original size. My waist/hip measurements are 29 and 40. I only wore this for maybe 6 hours. I had this dress professionally cleaned which was $250 and alterations were $100. So I am selling it for $500. Forgive the dorky face but this picture shows sparkly details! Veil I am selling this for $30. Bought this for $60. Did not get this veil professionally cleaned. I will ship the dresses with stuffing and in the chest area to keep the shape in their dress bags. Shipping fee not included. Serious buyers please! Plenty of pictures in my slideshows below.

How adorable! Just voted.

Everything looks great!! Congrats, bride to be!!

Kerri You guys can always add international plan to your phones. Not that expensive.

We'll have service and all? FI and I plan to add international but not use the phones much. Just in case anyone needs to get a hold of us. Yes, there are cell phone service in Mexico and you will be able to use them if you have international plan on your phone.

AWWWWWW SO CUTE! What a great fiance!!

If you want to see more pictures, click on the "see more photos" at the end of the slideshow.

GORGEOUS pictures!! I so love your veil...it definitely was used for creative pictures!!

Sorry for all the questions and thank you so much for all the answers the photographer came like at 1 after he was done with the guys and he was just waiting for us to finish getting ready! we ran out of time to have some shots. yup, i was having my hair done while they were working on the bridesmaids and once i was done with my hair, i had my makeup done.

aww, your planning thread is so colorful! Great choices on the colors. Love lime green and fucshia! (I'm totally a pink girl) You will make a beautiful bride and thank god the groom won't be pantless on your wedding day! LOL! <3

Jess, CUTE DOGS!! Quote: Originally Posted by Lisa DSO Hey ladies, how much time before you ceremony are you having your hair/makeup done? Definitely 3 hours...My makeup artists arrived 45 min late at 12:45pm and I had 7 girls. We were barely ready by 4pm. It depends how many bridesmaids you have.

Lol, thank you Matt! I am blessed to have Roque. At least you learned a few signs...hope you still remember them! Thanks, everyone!

SO gorgeous! Matt and Rodrigo did a fab job like always!!
