Congrats and welcome. Happy planning

Thank you so much. Are you going to post pictures here?

I LOVE the biggest loser. I was crying so hard when Abby was telling her story. How devastating. I cry harder (every season) watching that TV reality show that any other TV or movie EVER. I love it.

I have to admit that I am spoiled rotten. We both are...this thread reminds me of a conversation I had with my best friend a couple of weeks ago.It's what I was doing for him, but this thread reminded me of it so here goes) I was talking to FRIEND on the phone while I was cooking dinner. (we talk like 5 times a day) I was done cooking dinner and I said FRIEND I gotta go...dinner is done and I am making Johns plate. She started laughing and said "what Greg (her new FI) asks me to make his plate all the time and I always say NO!" He can make his own plate." I explained to her that John didn't ask me to do it, I do it b/c I want to. I continued to explain that I don't ALWAYS do it sometimes he cooks dinner and he makes my plate. OFTEN. I told FRIEND that we take care of each other. Sometimes I come home from work I'm so tired...he cooks, makes my plate, drink, cleans up the whole 9 yards and some nights I do it. Some nights I cook and say "dinners ready come make your plate" It really all depends In my opinion you have to take care of each other and "baby" each other sometimes. He works really hard and he get's up at 4 am to go to work I really don't mind doing stuff like that....plus he's always really grateful b/c it's not something he expects. Anyway moral is.....take care of one another.

My parents are divorced. My Dad has to pay for himself, my stepmom and my two little brothers to come to the DW. So I kinda feel bad about that. He did pay for my dress and some other little things here and there. (My stepmom doesn't know b/c she would flip....she's a bia) My Mom and stepdad paid for the venue for the AHR. And little things here and there. FI Mom offered to pay for DJ for AHR Everything else we are paying for. Which honestly is fine with me b/c all of our families live "comfortably" but not real "well off" (never to spend $$$$ on ornaments) and they are all paying to come to the DW which if we didn't do a DW they would help out more.

Oooh I'm excited for you.

I love Estee Lauder makeup and in my opinion they have the best mascara. I am looking for a different foundation and powder for the wedding day though. I always sweat above my lip (when I'm really hot) I know gross. Sorry anyway, I want to make sure my makeup doesn't completly sweat away before I even get down the isle. Do you ladies know of anything that would help with that?

Yeah for you! That's a beautiful dress.

The dress is beautiful, you look beautiful...I'm excited for you.

Congrats and welcome

Congrats and welcome. Happy planning

Oooh I likey!!

I LOVE the photobooth idea. I'm personally not a fan of the cameras on the tables. From what I've experienced in the past (from my brothers and sisters weddings) the majority of those pictures were usually junk. I think you'd get way better pictures with the photobooth. That's just my opinion. Good luck

Congrats and Welcome. I would suggest finding a photographer in your area and flying him/her down. You can actually find a really good deal b/c there are many photographers looking to update their profile. Happy planning

Congrats and Welcome! Happy Planning

Hi, Congrats and welcome. I'm getting in married in Jamaica so I can say anything about the weddings in Cancun but I have been to Cancun three times and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It's my favorite place in the world. As far as the photography goes I would definetly take one with you. I guarantee you will find one for a good price. Some photographers are willing to go for travel expenses just to expand their portfolio. If you plan on going to any bridal shows I would consider starting there (If they are any time soon) and when photographers talk to you I would just tell them what the deal is and what your willing to pay for...and what you want. Good Luck

I've been looking too. Thank you

You ladies are so creative. I really need to check out this website.

These look so yummy. I am going to try and make them. (when I get time) I saved it in my favorites.

Everything looks so great!

I need to head there.

Thank you for posting this. It's really helpful. I love the beach chic

Right now we have separate checking accounts and I have a separate savings account. We also have a joint savings that we do not spend money out of. It is strickly savings. We also have a joint credit card. We have discussed it and when we get married (maybe sooner) we want to open a joint checking for bills (so they can all be paid out of one) We also want to keep our separate checking accounts. I think he wastes a lot of money and I would probably have a heart attack if I knew every penny. Don't get me wrong...I waste money sometimes too.

I sure hope everything works out. I'm for you.

It looks like you had so much fun. I'm so happy for you.
