Lisa- I can't believe I missed you before you left...since you're already there I hope you're having an AMAZING time...I can't wait to hear about everything and see your gorgeous pictures when you get back! Josie- Only a little over two weeks for you! When do you leave!? And how was your bachelorette party? I just checked out your pictures on FB and it looks like you had an awesome time!

Wow, so much is going on! Lisa- So happy to hear that everything is finally working out PERFECT, just like it's supposed to! And you're planning thread looks great! Josie- You look so good in your dress! Thanks for posting it! I also can't wait to hear how your bachelorette party is...you're going to have so much fun!

Thanks for posting Lisa!

Lisa, I'm so happy you had an awesome bachelorette party! I can only imagine how you felt the next day, only guessing two right from the underwear game, lol! I like that idea though!

I love #4...and yes, please share where you're finding these cute shoes!

LadyTrunck- I LOVE your dress! And I love the pink shoes too! I'm hoping to get a pair in blue...I had to bring back my original pair, because they kept getting caught on my dress (they had rhinestones all over them)...I'm so mad because I was in love with them! Now back to square one with the shoe shopping. And Lisa- Your hair definitely looks good both ways...what is your natural color? Since it DOES look good both dark and blonde, I would say go with whichever is closer to you natural color. I'm actually starting to think about the same thing though...I've been highlighting and lowlighting my hair for years...always different shades...I can't decide which way I want it for the wedding.

Wow...I've missed SO much! Josie- Thank you for sharing all of your info and posting pics of everything! I just looked at all of you shower pics on FB...I absolutely love your centerpieces! I'm actually doing something similar. Lisa- I'm happy to hear that you will be having a bridal shower! I would have been upset too...it's definitely something that you should be able to look forward to! Paige- That's so exciting that you found your dress! I would love to see pics!

Shelk- I'm happy to hear that you at least heard from her! When I read about the bags of rose petals, I had just assumed we would need to bring our own baskets if we wanted them. I'm sure they have them there, but probably for a charge...just like everything else!

Lisa- 1 month from today!!! I'm so excited for you!!! Shelk- I can't believe what's going on with your photographer. Definitely keep us posted on what happens. Maybe she is away, like you said...but you're right...she should have at least let people know!

Archie510- Thank you SO much for all of your info and words of advice! It's nice to hear it from someone who went through it. I'm also planning to wear a small veil for the ceremony, but plan on taking it off after. I'm also hoping to have a flower in my hair too!

Shelk- That's so awesome that you ordered your rings! So exciting! Josie- I love your new siggy pic! And we definitely need to get to the bottom of this whole frozen drink thing! We've all obviously seen TONS of pics with a table set up like this! Now all of the sudden, they have no idea what anyone is talking about, lol!? I would hope that the resort would do it for us...especially since it is for our wedding!!!

It is a gorgeous dress!

Happy birthday Shelk!!!

I love it!!!

Josie- Thanks for posting her reponses! Definitely great information, especially since I will also be having my reception at Chili's. Lisa- Any word yet!?

Wow! I'm really surprised to hear that! First, I didn't know that Chili's even had a buffet as a choice...I thought that if you had it there, it was their regular menu. And I agree...if you're paying more for it, then why would they even have to think about if they're going to let you do it!?

OMG, I love this! Thanks for posting!

They look great! I especially love the black and white!

Just thought I'd share a wedding review I came across on TripAdvisor: The RIU Palace Riviera Maya gave us a better wedding/honeymoon than we could have ever imagined!! - Review of Riu Palace Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Mexico - TripAdvisor

Trying to figure out all of this :/ I'm actually wondering the same thing about how many people can be sat at each table...unfortunately, due to the amount of guests we will have, our only option is Chili's (not necessarily a bad option, we just don't have a choice). I'm also not sure yet if we will have a head table. I haven't really thought about it too much.

Well compared to the great deals on dresses that some of the other girls I found, I guess you could say it was on the more expensive side. It was $188 at the place the girls are buying it from. None of them seemed to have a problem with it though...and on the plus side, it's definitely something they can wear again!

Josie- I can definitely understand why you must be getting stressed out! I'm getting stressed out just trying to figure out the ACTUAL cost of everything and my wedding isn't until next year...I'm sure that I'll also have a million unexpected or UNCLEAR expenses too though. I thinks that's what upsets me the most is that nothing is clear...there's so many little rules about location based on the number of guests, private vs. non-private, with or without a DJ, etc...I just want to tell them what I want and I want them to tell me EXACTLY how much it's going to cost! Obviously that's not going to happen though, lol! And thank you for posting the FAQ's!

Thanks for the info Lisa! And I agree...they should have been much more clear about all of this when we booked everything!
