Jerseybride, thank you for coming back to update us! I still can't believe this happened, and the sad thing like someone else said is that it happens more than we even know about! I'm glad you get to have the dress you truly wanted, and that it all worked out! I hope now you can have stress free planning and a wonderful wedding!!

wow Di, your dress is GORGEOUS!

Jenn- I got off REALLY easy with my BM dresses, I found one that I liked and sent it to all of my girls and they all adored it!! We ordered them a long time ago because they said they wouldn't find something they liked more... hahaha And yes, who is using the huppah... seriously! lol

Whatever day works for everyone is fine by me! I will definitely be participating for the accountability

Don't forget: THIS IS THE LAST WEIGH-IN LADIES! Send em along! I can't wait to start Biggest Loser 9, even though I probably won't win it's a good accountability mechanism!

Hi all! Those who have been sending me your weights, I am tracking them I swear! I have been unbelievably busy! I will participate if you make a Season 9! I might miss the end BUT, I will still be in for sure!

Jenise I have a Montreal canadiens garter set for my fiancé too! It will be a great surprise! I got our luggage tags almost done! I have to finish the welcome book too... Hmmm maybe I will knock that off this weekend!

The shoes are up for grabs ladies!!

Oh and on a side note, since I just have to say it out loud, I am pretty sure my boss is going to sell me a pair of never worn Christian Louboutins!! They are seriously hot, and she is selling them to me SUPER cheap. She is an even 6, and I am more of a 6.5, which is why they will fit apparently. If she does sell them to me, I will have a pair of hot pink open toe pumps for sale. They are the same ones Tam wore for her wedding, if anyone is wondering! Will keep you all posted!

Hi Clay! I don't think there are any active men in the Dreams Punta Cana part, but welcome!! Its nice to see a man so active in the wedding planning. My fiance is now great with the forum, he says "Go ask the ladies on the forum someone will know" hahaha The free wedding package does NOT include a dinner, and the cost for the gold dinner is $800 for up to 20 people. I think in theory you could do a semi-private reception, but if I am not mistaken (help me out here ladies) they cannot guarantee that they will be able to seat all 15 of you together at one table. Have you thought about La Barcaza? It's a kind of catamaran/yacht hybrid sort of thing, and is not much more ($200 or $300 I think) than the traditional style reception at the resort. It includes a boat cruise, a buffet dinner for 20 people, and is much more unique! This is what I opted to do instead of the traditional reception, since my numbers are low. Now, if i had Toya's numbers it would be a different story! haha Happy Planning, and feel free to ask us all the questions you like!

true that! lol

Erin that is SO CRAZY!!! I'm going to start making some of my appointments for waxing, hair coloring, hair trial, etc. today, do y'all think its too early?

I never had an issue with Deyanira responding to my emails, but then again I haven't had to email her in a while so maybe something has changed? I know her email has, and that concerns me to be honest!!

yay Holly I love your planning thread! Your wedding day is so close, I wish you and A all the best! See you in the SB!

yes Jenn, new email please! WTF.

Thanks for the tip Erin! I work in a tv station and we are constantly getting shipments with that stuff in it, so I always have access (personally). But thats a great idea for people who can't get a hold of that stuff easily! Oh and Tam sent me her leftover travel mugs, and they are AWESOME! I can't thank her enough, honestly!!

hmm Erin I will have to look up this gorilla glue epoxy you speak of!!

hahaha no, didn't give up! I didn't post results this week, since it seemed like a lot of people missed the weigh in. If anyone wants their personal weigh in results, email me This will be the 11th week this week ladies, lets put a push on!

I thought about packing things in my bags that I won't be using.. since we are taking some decoration I was thinking about packing that? I have been having some wedding nightmares lately, anyone else? lol mostly about little things like forgetting something, or someone not arriving at the airport in time... I hope they stop soon! lol

oh and WELCOME ALLIECAT! Is your name Allie? We are on a first name basis here, I'm Natasha (aka Nat, Tash, Tasha, and so on) haha

Ash, I will go through my emails this weekend (I have been working like crazy) and I will send you my stuff too so we can add it to the googledoc

Do we ever have fun Toya! Except look out when one of us gets a questionable email from a WC, we all go nuts! hahah cause we have eachothers back Erin, you said your legal date is April 1st, right? And no, you are not crazy about things adding up! I am going to knock off a bunch of wedding things this weekend since I looked at what's left to do and went "what?!!?!" haha Anyone doing an AHR? I am starting the invitations but am at a loss for the wording. I saw some examples on the AHR part of the forum but rhymes really aren't my thing (not those, anyway...) ideas? As well, for those who did Save-the-dates, are you doing some type of formal invitation to the DPC wedding? Or just doing a pre-travel brochure? Or both? Help ladies! hahaha

You ladies are so lucky to be flying direct from your cities! I am flying out of Toronto, because we had to plan our wedding out of season for direct flights from Hali So we have to grab a connector flight to Toronto. Luckily, we have a great TA who is doing a fantastic job for us! By the way I am a Dreams Punta Cana bride.... YAY!!!

Halifax here as well! Hence "ns"bride2010 hehe

hey Mallory! When did you send mine out? I know I'm in Canada so its probably slower hahaha
