I actually saw your wedding photos on her blog before I even knew about BDW

Thanks guys!

I'm so glad that married life is going great!! You and hubby looked so happy on your day. I can't believe your having probs with the photog- has it been ongoing? I saw your pics on her blog, and they all looked great! I'm very sorry to hear that. I know she's doing another contest currently...

Green Day: Middle school

Katie- You looked so beautiful and your guests looked like they were having a blast!!!!! I also love the bridesmaids dresses- such a great mix of colors, and they looked great on all of the girls! FI also wants to know- where is the cave bar?... he was pretty insistent on it haha Paige- your day is coming up so soon too- are you ready?? Looks like everything is coming together for you velvetter- so exciting when that happens. I think the guest pass is 100 if they are not staying at a sister Riu resort- but as you see by Josie’s post, it may have changed. IMHO, I would say that it is ok for them to pay themselves. You gave them the option of staying at your resort, and they chose not to. Of course, do whatever you feel, but I don’t think it would be expected that you pay for them. What do other ladies think? Hey Josie! How’s married life?

Facebook friended you Katie!

No prob! Nope- he let me get 25 in each color.

I have to give credit to wilsoml2 for this vendor- Thanks!! eBay Store - Oasis Promotional Products: Stadium Cups, Party Tailgating Items, Wedding Favors They were $50 for 50 cups- with shipping it was about $65. Nick responded super fast, and even tailored our monogram to look better on the cup. Also- pink translucent is not a normal color he carries, but I asked about it, and apparently he had some left over for a special order- score! I got them 11 business days after I sent the monogram email. Great service!

Punta Cana: A lot of brides seem to be getting married there

I heart you Raychel Raye! I have been following your shoe adventure, and love all of the ones you have picked- but I know the feeling about them just not being quite *right* I wish you all the best- and I will continue to follow and hope for you!

I got mine from discount mugs.com. They were easy to work with, you can use their pics to put on, or your own logo, and they were reasonable. We did personalized shot glasses w/ tequila for our STD's.

Velvetter- that is definitely a good thread for a lot of photogs- mine are in there too! When I was looking for mine, I just took a big chunk of time, went through the RM/Cancun Vendor area of this forum, and just checked out all of their websites. I don't know when your wedding date is, but I suggest booking them as far in advance as you can. My date was orignialy July 6, but by the time I got to Elizabeth in October (still 10 months from our wedding!) she couldn't do that date because she was booked the day before. So I had to change our date to the 7th, even though STD's had been sent out. Not a huge deal (though at the time I was distraught!) but still something to keep in mind.

Our cups came in today! FI sent me a cellphone pic- I can't wait to post

comfy warm bed: wish I was there

I am going to Playa for the sun! Also, what do you mean 'buff with baking soda?' I've never done anything like it before so I am curious...

Paige- so glad you got the 700 time!! I'm only going to have about 40-45, so it's prob out of the question for me. Inconsistencies have been so frustrating right!? I got the same crap with the outside photog. HOWEVER, newest info (that I am printing up via email) is that since they are staying at the resort for the wedding night, we don't need to pay the 200 (previously told 100) fee. I am printing EVERYTHING up before I go. As for the ceremony music- I was told by another bride (don't remember who) that the resort has a system that you can use if you want to bring your own CD. I would ask them though just to be sure!. So how long on average did it take for them to get to you for your first email correspondence? I have heard 1-2 months but wanted to get a more detailed idea from the brides that have already been contacted!!

you guys are too fast! Dreaded monday: sleeeeepy

Love them! Fab!

Alright NSbride- I did 4 miles today and was totally surprised. I didn't think I could do it!! FI came up with a plan for me to get up to the 7+....it just sounds like so far!

Can't wait Jen- I loved them both so you really couldn't go wrong!

Just came across this site ladies- Tons of bling ideas- from bouquet jewelry to edible bling for your cakes!!! They also have the hanging crystals we talked about.... Diamond Party Confetti

So funny Tracy and Becks- same exact thing happened to me. I said, no lace, not strapless, nothing too fancy. And I ended up with exactly that!! Funny how that works huh?

Just saw these! Cute- I love them!
