I had a bad experience with them years ago and since then I vowed to never get them again. It could have been the person who did them or something I did taking them out but my edges came out and it just turned me off from them years ago so that's my issue with micro's. I do agree they are a good option and sometimes people can't even tell you have braids. Now post wedding, I plan to haveone of my friends or somebody throw some cornrows in my hair and be done with it for the honeymoon.

absolutely love this idea!

Guess I could have read this before posting my AHR vs. Bon Voyag thread. I actually am more the one who doesn't want to leave anybody out more than FI and I'm sure some of our family members who can't make it to Jamaica really want to celebrate with us, so may be it is more for others. FI is totally like DW and that's it but at first the Bon Voyage party was his idea. We had to cancel our engagement party and that was what I really wanted to do and I would have been satisfied with that for those who couldn't make it to Jamaica, so I'm still up in the air about it. I guess when it gets closer and we can see who all will be in Jamaica that may help me decide. I just want maybe like a cocktail party thing nothing big or too fancy not a full blown reception. Thank you all for the input.

Thanks, good suggestions!

I am usually a wash and air/dry girl on vacation. Might be a silly question....but what type of hair is best if I would like to swim in it? Thanks. Not sure how far you went back through this thread but these ladies have provided some good information. I am hoping my stylist is going to come but she may not. The dress I'm thinking on now I would need to cut my hair again in the back, wear a pin up, or a side ponytail, so I have to figure out what I'm going to do. Most of the time I wear braids when I'm going to be in water but I don't want to on my wedding day and I have never had a weave either but I will add in a few pieces if needed. I have another friend that's def going that can help me with my hair so that's my backup plan. Good luck to you!

CoverMark does offer $9.95 sample kits; I ordered a couple but the shades were too light for me. Hope that helps! Thanks! I heard dermablend was good but I also heard it will run if not applied right. I may be your complexion so I am just about to try a few things out, thanks again.

I just realized I posted #2 in this thread and siad I was going to try this dress on 6 months ago. Now I'm down to the wire and I have tried on at least 30 dresses and even bought one from ROB. I am going to try on Reese tomorrow and I have a feeling it is going to be the one or I'm hoping it was a "save the best for last" thing because I am so tired of looking. I wanted a nice dress of course but just something that wasn't too big, bulky, or hot. I didn't feel like the dress was top priority for me so I guess that's why I have just been weighing my options down to the last minute. I also haven't tried on any dress that made me feel any real emotion so I am hoping this Reese that I put on the back burner is the one, wish me luck! BTW did anyone order the ivory and how did it look, I want to wear aqua shoes. I didn't want to wear white but I'm thinking white looks better in this dress and I am willing to wear white. I will post pics asap!

Sorry not a hair question but did anyone have to cover any tattoo's or blemishes, if so what did you use?

SHE LOST EVERYTHING FOR MY WEDDING. She didn't even have our date confirmed and wasn't sure if it was still available. All the wedding details were completed by March and all the paperwork she requested was completed and sent to her. I realise that my wedding is not going to be a huge moneymaker for MDC but I fully expect to be treated like any other bride who rents out the entire resort. This is the only wedding day I am ever going to have! I am so upset! I don't know where to begin. My fiance is pissed and wants to try to find a completely new resort, but at this late of a date, I am not sure we will have any luck. I sent a very nasty email back to her (I am a bit ashamed of this, I could have been more polite) and requested that she call me ASAP to clear this up. I told myself I would give her until 2pm before I called them. She called at 2:02. Did she even apologise? NO. She acted put out that she had to phone me and repeatedly stated that the policy is that all correspondence is done throught email. Well, since we had to start back over at the beginning, I told her I thought that a phone call was very much in order. And, the main thing she wanted to focus on was "color scheme". I really didn't even have one! I still don't know if our date is still available, but atleast some of the details are back in place. I am still upset! Our date better be available....we have already ordered various items with 12.03.09 on them. She is supposed to email me back within the next 24 hours about the date. Fiance is still steaming mad (mostly b/c I was/am so upset) and still wants to look at Rock House or Ten Sing Pen or anywhere else. If you haven't heard from her in a while, stay on top of it. I wouldn't want anyone else to go through what I have been through in the last 48 hours! Thanks for letting me vent! Did you get things taken care of?

Thansk for the input! Originally FI wanted to do a send off party, now not sure where he stands. My only thing is I didn't want to do several parties for various reasons. Now we 've cancelled our engagement party and the time frame for having one in my opinion is gone we still need to do something for those who can't make it to Jamaica. I like the idea of the send off party so that everyone can meet before Jamaica and get hyped up for the trip, but having an AHR would allow for the guest to see pics/slideshow. I am thinking about doing the IDOStream video package and if so I will be more likely to do the send off party or if our photog can put together a nice slideshow for me to put online then the send off party it will be. I think I want to be done and over with everything once we return. Happy planning to you all!!!

thanks for the advice!

dNYC - You may want to check on that I'm not sure they allow outside catering, good luck!

While I do know the differences I'm just wondering your thoughts. We already had to cancel our engagement party and I that's all was going to do for those who can't make it to Jamaica. Now I guess I need to do one or the other. While our plans are presently on hold I am still thinking I want to be done with everything once I get back from Jamaica. What are your suggestions or your experience?

My original plan was to give out our STD's at our engagement party and only mail to those who could not make the engagement party. Our engagement party was cancelled and our plans are on hold presently. Hopefully we will be back on track no later than sometime next month and I can mail them out, but what is the very latest, our wedding is 5/15/10. I also want to send invitations so when would I send those? Thanks for any advice.

Wow! Sorry to hear about your situation. I haven't talked to her in a while but that's no excuse to not have a bride's information still on file especially when they have all you money for booked rooms. At this point 3 months out i would go above her and ask to start communicating with linus. I would also call mariam and make a complaint, she normally gets on top of things. If needed ask to speak to the owner they say he's pretty cool. I would let them know that if the wc they have you dealing with is not going to be able to accomodate you then you will nicely take your business elsewhere. I hope this helps some but you may need to go above her because she is linus's assistant.

Hilarious is what I have to say about the show. I mean all the antics, behavior, and drama is too funny. Ne Ne is a little different this season and I agree DeShawn didn't have enough drama to stick around. Kandi does seem cool and her situation is so my situation but my mom isn't that bad, so I can imagine how she feels, and I guess her drama is that whole situation itself. Sheree seems fake to me and Kim is a mess all together. Kim seems like she is a liar and she said on one of those talk shows that big poppa takes care of her and his wife know all about her they have an arrangement. Why she has a nanny is a good question but we see what kind of job she did hiring one. As for reality tv it seems like people are a little extra or over dramatic once they know their being filmed. Sometimes people look clearly fake like they are just doing things for the camera because they know it's there. Anybody can act these days!

From the picture of the dress the darker shoes look like they would look best so 2 or 4, I like 4 the most. Purple was the best color IMO for January, eventhough green is my favorite color and that orange looked too summerish

COngrats!!! Happy everything was a blast for you guys!

Sorry I didn't up date you all but we talked and he didn't like the fact that I kept changing my mind and bringing it up. So we talked it out and I explained how I felt about it and he understood so she is in and I will not be bringing it up again. Now I just need to decide how I want her to do her part cause he doesn't want a best man so I will just have her enter before me and fix my train she can be seated after that. I may have her hold my bouquet or figure out something else. Thank you all for the advice and listening to me rant!!! Happy Planning!

There cute, go for if you really want them.

I agree intuition is something and you may need to consider it. I think that FI was inconsiderate for have you wait that loong with no communication as to what was taking him so long. If theraphist outfit was revealing that's very unprofessional and he should be able to pick up on that. More important than anything else is COMMUNICATION it cuts out any assumptions, explains things, and keeps the relationship going. You guys have to talk and you have to be open and be honest when you talk. If you want him to find another person tell him that and let him know how you feel and don't feel bad about that.

I agree I would kindly decline. I would be honest and let her know that it seems that you were a last resort and that it was rude to ask you the way she did. Let her know that your just not feeling it!
