MarieSam- these pictures are so beautiful!! How fun!!

we did a great one thru the Maui dive shop. It was reasonable and good. But I can not remember the specific name.

Yay, congrats on a beautiful wedding and congrats on being a Mrs.!!! Cant wait to see all 300 pics LOL

love it!!!!!!!

We are doing the legal stuff after we return from Mexico. The number one reason is that we want the first time we say the vows to be in Mexico with our own ceremony and vows. Second it eliminates the feeling that we have cheated our guests out of the real thing. Third this was we are thinking of it more as filing the paperwork upon our return.

I am getting married at Dreams in Nov. Just to reiterate what Ana mentioned, the fee is $29 per person for the set up fee, At minimum you will have 2 set up fees, one for the ceremony and one for the reception, so $58 per person. If you add lobster to the reception dinner the per person price would increase from $58 to $70. I am getting married earlier in Nov and not over a holiday weekend so my nightly price is a lot lower than what Jess mentioned earlier. I used Tammy (Host) thru this site (she was also a dreams bride) and she did help us to get an AMAZING rate. If you are leaning towards Dreams you should contact her for the pricing. It varies quite a bit by time of year and holidays etc.

Congrats DOC .. opps, I mean Mrs Doc!!!!! Have 9 or 10 miami vices for me today!!!

MarieSam- they are so beautiful, just love it!!

Shannon---- I LOOOOOOVEEEE it! It was so worth the wait for me

Ahh the old 90210, I miss the good old days The Dr Pepp thing makes FI so mad, acutally the entire show makes him mad, he almost always heads to the other room.

She does talk wierd!!! I find it really annoying!

From what I was told, you can pick any 6 canapés for the cocktail hour, they do not have to be 3 hot 3 cold but split anyway you'd like. Then 1 app and 1 dessert. For the entree if you want to have the guests have a choice of menu, you have to have the final numbers into the WC 3 weeks in advance and "a clear" way for the waiters to tell who gets what type of meal. For example someone did white place cards for meat, and blue place cards for fish. My Fiancé and I decided to stick with the lobster and fillet minion since included in the ultimate package price is the up charge for that meal for 20 people. You do not get the money back if you do not use that meal. Although the charge for each additional guest is $70 pp instead of $56 if you have do not do lobster. in the end I think we are deciding to just keep it simple with the one meal, we will figure something else out for our 3 vegetarians. This allows for easier last minute bookings, no stress on the issue of trying to figure out who gets what with the place cards.

I know, I totally agree that it was a good competative week. Congrats to everyone on doing some damage to the scale

Ashley I am so sorry, my condolences to you and your family. Megan- I KNOW!! I kinda wishe we could jump in time till August, but then I we would miss the summer and that would be sad. I am so excited to go on vacation and be married. I can barely wait

Andi- AWESOME REVIEW. I loved all the detail, I acutally felt like I was there. And in agreement with Abbie and Heather I loved and teared up at the waves crashing moment. I am now absolutely dying to see your pro pics!!!

I had this same problem 2 weekends ago, but then after a pink box of wine later (long story at the ski condo) I threw them up and now I can not even fatham eating doritos ever again.

I know it was crazy!!! then there was only a breif mention that she threw them up. So aggrivating.

I went out in the morning for a mani pedi and when I came back to get ready they greeted me with a bottle of champagne and sent me upstairs. The drinking did not stop until about 9PM ON SUNDAY!!! Needless to say, I was naughty Holey Moley, I want to party with you some day!!!

I finally had a good week. I was really paranoid bc it was the end of aunt flo. But since I was stuggling to lose more than a pound a week for the past month, I made an effort to go to the heated vinyasa yoga class to detoxify my body and I really think that it helped me to lose some extra lbs. Work outs were medium but with the yoga I was able to do well. Eating was just so so, I had a wing pig out on sat night coupled with many beers. Rest of the time I was able to keep it normal and not too bad.

Cant wait to see pics of them Jamie!
