Great review Heather!! Everything looked so put together & just beautiful! So glad you guys had the best week ever!

great job! It's hard to get the momentum going to keep doing it - 2 days in a row is great!! Keep it up!

CONGRATULATIONS!! In this economy that is no easy task! What relief you guys must be feeling!

Congratulations! Great job on your planning thread! I love your t-shirts - such a cute idea!

Great job Mary! I love it all!! How wonderful that your mom made all the dresses! Did you post your PV brochure anywhere? I'm trying to come up with one so I'd love to see it if you don't mind! And I LOVE that you got DH a puppy!!! Adorable! Was that a total surprise for him? We've been wanting a dog for a while & have been going back & forth about when to get one. FI wants to right after x-mas & I want to wait til we get back from our weddingmoon in June. We'll see who wins that one...

I love it!! Your veil is gorgeous & the jewelry will look perfect w/ your dress!

I keep going back & forth about whether to use them for alterations, but the more I hear about their poor customer service the more I think it'd be best to go elsewhere.

After months of searching, ordering & returning, I finally have my shoes!! hooray! We're going barefoot on the beach for the ceremony, but I really wanted cute reception shoes & I can't have a high heel b/c my dress is just barely long enough. These have a kitten heel so they're perfect. I've said it before, but this was way harder than the dress! here they are They also come in pink/orange, black/silver & snakeskin/bronze Unisa Dori Sandal - Free Overnight Shipping & Return Shipping: Endless.com

Love that dress! It's great that you guys have decided - one more thing checked off the list! I also think pink shoes or jewelry w/ silver & pink would look really cute.

I love the sparkly dangly earrings with the bits of blue you found! Those will look perfect! I'd skip the necklace too.

Very nice! Love the colors!

nice!! I did level 2 today...

Wow, Jamie, talk about organized! I'm so impressed!! We want to offer a choice, but we still have to figure out how to convey who gets what to the staff. I think we're using Mexican tiles as our place cards so we can't really put a little fish or whatever on those, but your luggage tags is such a cute idea! btw, were your luggage tags the ones that came in several colors with little travel symbols on one side, look like "leather" & have stitching on them? I bought some in green from a BDWer & she said they were from Michaels, but I wasn't sure if they still carry them.

Congratulations!!! You two are a gorgeous couple! I love your dress - you looked beautiful!

Wow! You put sooo much effort into everything and it all looks wonderful! I love your colors! Congratulations and have a fabulous time!!!

Congratulations!! Can't wait to see some pics!

Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing that!

Congrats Jess!! And welcome back as a Mrs! Those pics are gorgeous! I love the beach set-up and they put so much thought into making everything unique & special. I can't wait to read your review! Can't wait to hear from Autumn & Jill soon! Jamie, I read your review - thanks so much for posting it! It's really helpful to find out some of the things we need to be aware of in having a wedding there. Hope your FIL has a speedy recovery. I can't believe that happened! Does he know what happened? Did he trip or have a stroke or just pass out?

Wow, Jamie! How scary about your FIL! I'm so glad he'll be OK!! Thanks so much for the detailed review! I'm sorry you had to deal with all those stressful situations after you already were stressed & worried about your FIL! It sounds like they all added up over the day. Having described everything with such detail will definitely help us get organized so thank you! You said for the menu at your reception you offered chicken or fish. Did you have people pick their entree before arriving? If so, how did you let the wait staff know who was having what entree? Or did you just have them ask at the table? Thanks!

Wow! You looked beautiful & I LOVE your book! Great job! I love the pics w/ the crane art! They really tell a story.

AWESOME Heather!!! So excited to meet Fer!

Autumn, thanks so much for posting your receipt template! For the rooms, out of the 20 that we blocked I think we did 13 in the old tower & 7 jr suites in the new tower. We talked to people before to sort of get a sense of who would want to stay where and it turned out that most people wanted the older rooms. They felt like they're not going to be in the room all that much so weren't inclined to pay more for the nicer rooms.

Woo Hoo Jill & Autumn!! So exciting! I hope you both have fabulous weddings! And how fun you'll get to meet up! to you both! Jill - I know you probably won't see this for a while, but what kinds of customs receipts did you print up? Did you make your own for OOT bag stuff? Hi Sheri, are you guys getting married at Dreams too?

Hey K, I was away for turkey week but I just read through & am glad to hear you guys are working through this. The fact that you weren't willing to just walk away says a lot about both of you & I really respect you! Of course you're going to have days where you wake up livid! You're still hurt by what he did and it's not just going to vanish because you decided not to leave his ass! It's more than understandable you'll go through good & bad days for a while. You're really learning to trust him again and that's not a linear process. But, like Holly said, keep the communication open & both of you try to work on your individual issues (raging like a lunatic, keeping secrets, whatever they are). Keep up the good fight girl!!

LOVE to drive! day-after-thanksgiving-shopping?
