Cute! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Yael! You always have such great advice )

Mine are already nominated. Good luck girlies!

I called the dress shop and they told me to make an appointment for October for my dress fitting. Hopefully I won't have to do anything but get the bustles added. Why the !@#$ don't dresses come with that built in?!?!?!?!?

I think that is a super idea! I like that incorporates your baby and sister Definitely go with something that slips over her head and has an easy clasp to undo.

In PV the sun sets around 5:20 pm so we are doing the wedding at 4. That leaves us an hour for pics with the family and then some at sunset. It looks like the Jamaica sunset is around 5:20 as well. Since you are getting married by the pool, unless the ceremony is early in the morning or after sunset you are going to have people around you. Enjoy the attention )

those coolers are super cute! Quote: Originally Posted by estella1007 We paid for their linen suits, and got them these....

They fold down so they are flat, and are light enough that they can bring them on the cruise with us and they won't be bulky or in the way.

I like this website for PV info. This is a link to a specific article, but it tends to have current local news and events too. Mexico: One Journalist’s View The US governments site for travel warnings, etc. Mexico The US consulate in PV Vallarta Consular Agency - U.S. Consulate General Guadalajara, Mexico IMO: The best advice is to tell people to use common sense. Don't talk to strangers, don't flaunt your money, don't go anywhere that looks sketchy. Same thing they would do if they were visitng NYC or San Fran or Dallas or New Orleans or Toronto or Paris or Lodon....

Thanks for posting the worksheets! I've just been using a notebook, but will definitely download them. I started week 3 yesterday and I am so tired. But man I love the way my clothes are fitting. My first dress fitting is 10/1 so I have until then to bring it ;-p

OMG! I just read your blog and he actually proposed?!?! Yippee! Questions... Does your family/friends know you guys are getting married? Or are you keeping it totally secret? Did you get an engagement ring and can you wear it? Or did you guys just get wedding bands?

Thats where I got mine from. They are a vendor on here (handbagscentral) and great to work with! Definitely the least expensive and highest quality I could find.

The only warning is to give yourself enough time for them to make it, ship it to you, get it through customs, and then to your door. For some reason ours was stuck in customs for about 2 weeks, but other people have posted that they got them really fast. I guess it is just luck of the draw. Their site says 3 weeks to make and then 1 week for shipping. The just add on another couple of weeks if it gets stuck in customs.

Congrats!! Have a great honeymoon )

Awwww... that is such a cute story. I'm sending good juju your way )

I love everything! Great job Where did you get that super cute Eat, Drink & Be Married ribbon?

I got mine from Island Importer too. Also try studiosuits.com, we got FI's suit from them and they make custom shirts too. Both links are the same company, they just have a couple of different websites: Formal Shirt [F Shirt] - $27.00 : Makeyourownjeans.com, Custom Jeans | Designer Jeans Linen Shirts : Studiosuits.com, Custom Suits | Designer Suits Good luck!

They look awesome and you look way beautiful! Love the dress and shoes Can't wait to see the rest of them!!!!

Here are some pictures of the suit we ordered. It needs to be dry cleaned and I think it is a tiny bit lighter in color than what the pictures show. This is their $99 linen blend suit in the beige linen color. It looks fabulous on FI and I am going to order him another one in wool! Also, every time I have emailed studiosuits they have responded within 2 days. I definitely recommend them )

Awwww.... thats so sweet Congrats on Lucky 7!

Great story! Congrats

How cool! Luv the video

We got our first mail in RSVP yesterday! I know it is really just a formality because most people have already RSVPd online, but it was fun getting something in the mail )

I am pretty sure everyone on BDW has or is going through this same kind of nonsense. I believe I have posted 100 times this week about how stupid people get around weddings. This is the main reason we are having our brothers stand with us and no one else. I have 5 un-official bridesmaids but didn't want to deal with the drama that comes with girls. We all live in different cities and actually got to hang out last weekend. One of the girls is also engaged so she wanted to talk about the wedding the whole weekend. But one of the girls is single and kept saying "are you reallly talking about weddings again blah blah blah". Another one of the girls is preggo and has barely said 2 words to me about the wedding. It kinda sux when the people you think will be excited for you aren't. But on to the bright side... this forum helps so much! Come here to vent and talk about your dollar store finds. We all love to hear about 20 cent luggage tags and $1 save the dates. We are all in very similar situations and can empathize with most rants about wedding stuff! All in all, the wedding is about you and FI and no one else. If people come then it is a total bonus, if not it will still be the happiest day of your life

We have cats and they are all indoor only because we live in the middle of the desert and the coyotes tend to eat all of the little unattended pets. Our cats do hang out on the patio with us, but really they don't like to be outside. Can't wait to see pics of your new kitty

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing (and making me tear up at work lol). Congrats :0)
