i like the idea of a loose up-do with flowers..

I'm dying to try zumba but my gym only offers it on fridays at 8:30 am (i'm at work), fridays at 4:45pm (still at work) or tuesdays at 10:30 am (work work work)... why don't gyms offer classes at times that people who work can go?? (at least one of them, not saying all 3 have to be after 6pm or before 7am but one, please?)

I use my fitness pal Free Calorie Counter, Diet & Exercise Journal - MyFitnessPal.com (it's free) to track all the food I eat.. it's easy to use, I find it better than fitday.com which is another free food tracker

wow is all I can say right now. So sorry for your awful experience with this crazy maniacal photographer! You have saved me - just today I was on his website thinking I'd send him an email.. now I definitely won't, so thank you for your honest review.

wow you are super organized, great job!!!

Here's how I got engaged to my lovely fiancee Matt: Our five year dating anniversary was coming up on June 18, 2009. Matt had asked me if I had plans that night (I think he thought that I didn't remember the date) so I played along and said, "No, I don't have any plans, what do you have in mind?" He said he'd like to take me out to dinner, and I accepted. Typically Matt has a bit of a hard time choosing a location for dinner so he leaves it up to me. This time, however, he said that he'd pick a place and make the reservation. In hindsight, that should've been my first clue that something was up. So on Wednesday he informed me that we'd be going to Local 121 in Providence. It was a restaurant that I had taken Matt to on his birthday, and we both enjoyed it there. Plus, they have the single most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in. I know it's a weird fact to mention, but they are that comfortable. Thursday arrives and we head to dinner. We got there a bit early so we had a drink at the bar. We then got seated at our table. After relishing at how comfortable the chairs were, we dove into the wine list and menu. We ordered some wine and our dinner and then held hands across the table. Our wine arrived and we toasted to our five year anniversary. All was well. (Apparently, throughout all this Matt was quite the nervous wreck). So there we were, sipping a delicious Louis Latour pinot noir, holding hands, and gazing romantically into each others eyes. The appetizers arrive, and I'm eyeing my amazing looking scallops, about to dive in when I hear Matt say, "So today is our anniversary and I didn't get you a card, so I wanted to tell you how I feel in person." I look up from the scallops now, quite interested in this line of conversation. He goes on, saying such nice things to me, that I almost welled up with tears. Thankfully, before the tears spilled over and ruined my mascara, he pulled a ring out of his pocket, and said, "...so I have one thing to ask you Katie, will you marry me?" It was only a split second, but in that split second I felt a range of emotions, shock, excitement, happiness, incredulousness (is that a word?), and amazement. It was really happening! I recovered from my shock/excitement/happiness/incredulousness/amazement quickly and any tears that were in my eyes dried up. I was so happy I almost forgot to say yes. (I did manage to remember though). I was glad that he didn't get down on one knee in the restaurant - I wouldn't have wanted to be a specacle for all to see. The way he did it, it became our private moment that we shared, right under everyone's noses, but they were none the wiser. We had this incredible moment and it was all our own. The ring fit - and it was gorgeous -- even in the dim light I could see that it was amazing. We ordered some champagne and toasted to our new future together. It was a great night.

Seriously, every resort can't pelase everyone. When you're on a vacation, sit back and relax! People nit pick too much I think. I agree, and I usually know that there are always people that will complain about any and everything.. I guess I just had a moment of panic earlier Quote: Originally Posted by Perplexy My advice to choose a resort: pick a country, then go to the country to resort shop! It'll be the best shopping trip, EVER! Sounds good. I already feel better after my "mini meltdown" earlier today. Thank you!! see you around!

So we're still deciding on a resort... We've narrowed it down to Cancun or Playa Del Carmen but are leaning towards playa del carmen.... The Iberostar tucan is looking good right now. It's so hard.. I read one thing and think "yes, perfect" (i.e. one wedding per day) and then I read another (i.e. have to use their photog which has gotten some pretty bad reviews) and I think "oh shit". Hopefully we will get it all straightened out soon!

OK I'm at the "overwhelmed" stage of picking out a resort.. we've narrowed down to Mexico (cancun or playa del carmen) and we can't seem pick a resort.. I look at one, and it looks fantastic, but then I read something on trip advisor or on here that changes my mind...

Great review, thank you! We are considering the riu palace RM for our wedding and your review has been very helpful!

thanks everyone..

Love them! you did a great job

Hi, are there any DR AI resorts that don't have a casino on the property? I tried to do a search but couldn't find a thread on it. Thanks -Katie

thanks everyone!

Hi everyone.. newbie here... my name is katie and I've recently become engaged and it has always been my dream to have a wedding on the beach amidst the palm trees. we don't have a date or location yet but we're thinking of summer 2010 and most likely at an all inclusive in Mexico or Jamaica, but we're still in the research phase of things. nice to be here, -Katie
