Congrats and welcome! I'd love to help, but I don't have much info on the area. There's lots of info here on the site, though! Just send that researcher fiance of yours into the DR forum! Good luck and happy planning!

These are not me, but I did an image search for ya. Hope they help.

Though we haven't really talked, I always seem to be posting after you, so I just wanted to say good luck! Everything is just gorgeous - you're going to have the most wonderful time. I'm excited for you and can't wait to see how things went when you return!

Well, after posting my poll, I decided on this palette: My theme is: Palm trees by the sea

Yep, I'm agreeing with these girls, too. If this was something he did before, it's going to be worse now that you're married because he feels secure in the fact that you will always put up with it. If you ignore it, it's only going to get worse. I'm sooo sorry he's treating you this way - and even worse- people are backing him up.

Oooh, thanks for the advice! Never thought about using OFF. We have pets, so I hate using Raid. OFF might be a better option! Aimee, that sounds like fire ant bites. They suck SO bad! Geez, I feel so sorry for you!!

Congrats! I'm glad everything worked out and you got the ring he really wanted. It looks great!

Awesome, he's gonna be floored!

I kinda grew up in Ft. Collins which is in northern CO in the foothills. Definitely has seasons and is a big enough city to have things to do while still having that "small town" feel. It's home to CSU which gives it a sort of young, hip thing while still maintaining a really family-like atmosphere. No high rises - lots of houses and parks. Plus, Colorado in general is super clean and very conscious of the environment. Estes Park is like 45 minutes away maybe, and Denver is about 1 hour straight interstate. Here are some pictures of my dad's house there - not the best, but might give you an idea. This is the "Old Towne" Center with a bunch of shops and stuff: The view from my dad's yard (which is outside of Ft. Collins, actually) - kinda shows where you are in relation to the mountains. Green in the summer (FI picking apples, lol): Street view (No idea how I got this): Horsetooth Reservoir which overlooks Ft. Collins: Heading towards Estes Park: Hope those help some!

Oh my... I am so sorry to hear this. I genuinely hope that your relationship finds some peace and that these flirty texts are just nothing. Regardless of what happens - as little as it may seem - you will always have us to lean on.

Congrats and welcome! This place will give you tons of inspiration.

Lmao!!!!!!

Thanks for the opinions, ladies!! Taking them into consideration.

Congrats and welcome! I think if I recall Little Chapel of the Flowers (that could be wrong) was having a wedding special for that date! You should check it out if you haven't already. Good luck!

Does anyone have issues with these buggers? In the last two days, I've gotten bites on: 1. My ass 2. The back of my head 3. My boob!! Do you know how hard it is to creatively come up with a way to scratch your boob during a 3 hour class so you don't look like Pervy McSkeeze??

Congrats and welcome, Nichole! Good luck in planning. Both areas are gorgeous, so you can't go wrong!

My BMs got their dress from this sale! Very awesome indeed.

Holy cow, that is an awesome idea! Thanks for the inspiration!

Oh man! I am so sorry to hear about this! Ugh! Like the girls say, you should be fine by Saturday, but I can still understand the added stress. YUCK Good luck, I hope everything turns out.

Hi there! Congrats and welcome! Lots of info about that area, so I know you'll find plenty of inspiration! Good luck!

Congrats on choosing a location! We switched all over the place. I drove my mom nuts. First it was RM Mexico, then it was Puerto Rico, then it was RM Mexico, then it was Hawaii, then it was in Pennsylvania (where i grew up), then it was here in San Antonio, and finally we settled on Hawaii. So, yeah, I know how exciting it is when you find THEE spot! Happy planning!

Hi there, Tracey! Congrats and welcome! I would suggest Riviera Maya, MX as it has a lot of the features you are looking for. Good luck and happy planning!
