Hello and welcome to the forum! Happy planning!

Welcome and congrats!

Thanks for this thread! this was on my list of questions for Yesica!

I've been desperately searching for a convertible dress for my bridesmaid but can't find any in my wedding colors!! phooey! you did pretty good tying the dress up yourself!! thanks for sharing!

Thanks Jac! I was thinking about pa17. but the coral we picked is more on the orange side. that's why i thought about pa39. but it's too orange. So, here's my final order: 20 of PA30 (aqua) 10 of PA2 (white) 10 of PA39 (orangey whatever) and that's my final answer! hehehe Do you have a paypal account for your payment? thanks again Jac!

Hey Jac, or any of you wonderful ladies, is pa39, is that orange? or a coral orange? is PA30, almost aqua? Tiffany blue? because the original pa25 i was going to order, the scarf on the mannequin and the color block are totally different!

Great review Andi! No matter how much you try to have a perfect wedding, MISHAPS are bound to happen! But in all, you had a great time that you will remember for a lifetime! CONGRATS!

I've can't give you any wedding advice for Puerto Rico. But I have gone there and stayed at the Westin Rio Mar Beach Golf & spa. It's a beautiful place to stay at and the hotel workers were great. The resort isn't too far from Downtown SanJuan either. Hope this helps, and happy planning!

I have a fear that I'll break something just prior to my wedding, scary thought! Hope your doctor removes your cast before you go!! That exact thought is the reason how I jinxed myself! I jinxed myself 3 times to be exact! jinx 1. a couple of days before we left for Lake Tahoe, Natasha Richardson passed away from head trauma! I told my FI that i wanted a helmet, he said that i've been snowboarding for 12 years and that i'll be fine, and i had to remind him that it takes just that 1 fall and you're screwed! jinx 2. on the ride up, i told him that this would probably be the last time we go boarding for 2 season's cause next season is to close to the wedding if something happens. jinx 3. on the same conversation as jinx 2, i said and i quote "I'm going to make this run COUNT!" and i sure did make it count.. i've got plates and screws for a lifetime! I would've been better off doing this:

Such a GREAT wealth of information! My name is Liz. We are planning a Cabo wedding in June '10. We will be doing our site visit in June with our WC, Karla Casillas. Look forward to learning the ins and outs of the forum. Congrats to all the lovely Brides to the forum!

I live 20 min. away from Napa. At one point the FI and I would go every weekend! #1 V.Sattui is our fave! #2 the drive is so relaxing and scenic! #3 they also have a picnic ground! We keep a constant stock of their Gamay Rouge.

Very nice!!! I was planning on ordering from them too. How long did it take for the order to get to you? Wondering if I should order them now, and cross this off my "things to do list". or if it should stay on the back burner till it gets closer.

3 THINGS I AM HOPING FOR: 1. My Dr. will show me mercy and remove my cast when I see him the day before we leave!!! 2. The airport security doesn't give me LIP about the pins pertruding out of my wrist. 3. We don't catch the swine flu. *raising shot glass in the air* Here's to all the things I am hopeful for!

Quote: Originally Posted by Tammy Host dreams will pour drinks in mugs BUT you have to go to the bar to get the drink filled...no poolside ordering. Wow! this was actually on my list of things to find out or ask Yesica!! Now i can cross that off my list!! You guys are great!! Hmmm.. This may be a long shot but, since the question above was answered, i thought i'd give it a shot.. But, would any of you know if the dream's can keep/store some of your wedding stuff prior to the wedding? If i'm able to bring my misc. item's like my colored dinner napkin's, my flip flops for my guest, and some of my oot item's? I just don't want to lugg more than i have to in January if can bring some with me now. I've already warned all of my wedding party that i will be giving them 1 suitcase each for them to bring for me and i promised to buy them a drink at the bar.. that was the joke i told them all, cause the alcohol is free!!!
