Hahahaha that is one of the funniest things I have ever heard! You have a very stealthy family and fiance!! WOW good secret keeping abilities, kudos to that! Don't feel like a jerk, it was a well planned surprise!!

Hey ladies! FYI I emailed Deyanira the other day and asked her abour reserving the Bordeaux terrace for us, and she said that yes she could and that now it is done! She said usually if the reception is in the restaurant part of a given retaurant they wait till closer to the wedding date. So go ask her if you want a specific one before someone else does! hehe

this is awesome!! no gains, all losses! Off to a roaring start season 7 ladies!! This is another reason why I'm here... my competitive edge kicks in, and coming in second just makes me want to work HARDER! So thank you Stacey for that yay!!

Well this is good news!! One less thing on the ever growing budget list!

what a great list!!!

Erin I can't wait to see your spa info!! I am curious to see what they will charge, since the prices seem to be much higher now than what is on the website!!

Well said Denise!! A pound lost is a pound lost... whether it comes with friends (more than one pound) or all alone... its a loss!! We need to get a weekly challenge going for this week... any ideas ladies?

I'm definitely booking HDC for our wedding, the packages are priced so that its hard to refuse and I have heard nothing but great things about them!! Arnaud writes back extremely fast... haha

HOLY F%$*%! I cannot even imagine this happening!! Actually, a couple that I know was supposed to be married around the end of January in Cuba, and found out about a month ago that their flight was cancelled as well! Luckily they were told in enough time to change all of their wedding plans (Majestic Colonial in Punta Cana now), but your situation is 10 fold worse! The personailzation would be the thing that would get me up in arms, since I know how much it costs to do those things! Is the personalization done with thread (for the beach bags, for example)? Could you possibly find someone in Calgary that can do this cheap? Explain what has happened, and people will try to help you out as best as they can. What a sin, I truly feel for you! What is being done by your TA for the travel arrangements? I hope they are going to send you and your guests to the new resort without an extra charge! To go to people a month or so before their trip and say "oh by the way, we need $300 more for your trip since Air Transat sh*t the bed" would be completely unfair!

thats definitely a motivator!!

Tam I have been having the same problem... I wonder if it is just a flood of activity at once?

thanks Misty!! All three are beautiful.. I have my heart set on Bordeaux, but Himitsu would be just fine.. hehe

The smaller goal thing is a great idea, since losing 20 or 30 pounds sounds daunting!! By the way ladies I am down 3.4 pounds this week!!

Pynk lemonade I would love to see those!! My email is [email protected] Thanks!! I think my wedding date works out to be a friday, but that was not on purpose... haha We arrive on Tuesday so that was the first day we could get married... haha

I second Tanya - everything happens for a reason! It is most likely just a test of your relationship, rather than a sign that its over... the feeling that its over probably comes from the fact that you are angry about what has happened. Dont let a small setback ruin it Hugs

everyday is a saturday down there... hahaha

Welcome Katie!! We are a great bunch of gals here for DPC and the larger group of BDW! Hope you find lots of stuff to help you here

Aw and Tam you even signed my guestbook!! hehehe

Aw Tam thanks!! It was super cute... and now that he is gone away to hockey camp, and I won't be able to join him for about a month, I go to that place (since I work close by) and I eat lunch and smile! You know Ash, Ben and I went back and forth about this for about a month... its a tough decision! Here's what I think: Do what you guys feel is right for you. Don't worry about anyone else, who might not come if you do a renewal of vows instead, etc. etc. etc. Those that will still come are those that are the ones that matter... so don't worry about that part! Now, about your parents. That is the part that I would be having the most trouble with, too. Have you discussed it with them? What are their thoughts? I can't imagine getting married and now having my parents there! BUT, at the same time, you can explain to them the cost difference, the significance, and so on and tell them that even though you are getting married October 15th, 2009 that you are truly thinking of your "wedding day" as October 15th, 2010! If they really aren't comfortable with it, and getting married without your parents is something you don't want to do, talk to FI about it. He seems like a very rational and understanding person, and he should understand. We had the same issue, we wanted to get married beforehand and do a renewal of vows, but my parents wouldn't be there... so my parents said that if we did the legal ceremony in DR that they would pay the translation and legalization costs. Good compromise, since that was the thing holding us back as well! Sorry for continuing the thread hijack... haha xoxo

I'll take the for dummies book!!
