I think I had been watching too much "Say, yes to the dress" that I thought it was supposed to be so much more. Maybe that's how you're feeling. I think it would be a good idea to try it on for your girlfriend (and show us) so that you get pumped up about it again!! Shellk- I don't know what the standard is on how many don't show up, but last year my friend got married and 305 RSVP'd and only 250 showed up...at $40/person that was an extra $2200!!! I couldn't believe how rude people are sometimes! I would guess with a smaller group of 100? you probably couldn't count on too many people not showing, but I'm not really sure... Holy crap I'd freak if that many people said yes and didn't show....That isn't happening to Shells... Oh she'd kick ass

Even for the OOT bags, a little bottle would be neat you actually can buy it and bring it back they do a dry version of it and you have to add the booze when you get home. I bought it and i think FI said it was rum he added. It makes for good stories....

The resort did cancel my wedding a few months ago - apparently I have booked my date over a big conference so they didn't really want to do weddings that day - too bad for them I already had a signed contract so they agreed to do it anyways... Oh and I do have one bridesmaid that apparently did not know that it's customary to throw a bridal shower for the bride so she informed my other bridesmaids that she didn't feel that she should have to participate in it or pay for anything since she wasn't aware of this event (you can imagine how well that went over with my other bridesmaids). Personally I don't really care if I get one or not I just found it funny how she told the rest of the bridal party "she wasn't aware of this event" so I guess I do have a few entertaining stories - nothing as good as waking up and beating up on my fiance though Funny how the people we think are nearest and dearest to our hearts can be so far away when we need them. I had to unvite a friend a few months ago.. she would rudely attack other people that were coming to the wedding. She was one of those that finds nasty words about everyone and those words get spoken. It ended ugly and I felt bad for a few weeks. She stalked me for about a month, it didn't get handled the way I had hoped. I wish I could change the manner in which I handled it, not that it happened. Unfortunately sometimes these things have to be dealt with. Good Luck hun... maybe you can ignore her.

Hi Sandy, welcome and congrats! it is my and Fi's second marraige as well... It is right this time.

Shells I do agree with having people help you with the food, I did a big thing two years ago for FI family re-union and I did everything myself, I was so stressed and bagged by the time it arrived I was just a basket case. Get help honey!!!

Ok children stop.. when my friend comes home i will have her take a picture. damn you drive me to drink. lol

I am taking to my girlfriends tonight she lives nextdoor, I will try it for her and have her to take a picture. I don't know what it was I just wasn't feeling it. I know there is way too much hype about the dress "the right dress". it was just a weird feeling.

Ok ladies I picked up my dress to day and it is home on the back of the bedroom door... I am not feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why I am just not feeling the love......having a rum and coke hoping it's just the weather.

Sorry huin no info there, when I visited GS it was 7 weeks after it opened and they were not doing wedding at that time. I never went to the salon or the spa. I would try trip adviser and go through the pictures and comment post to find a bride that actually used the service, just email them. Most people are just happy to answer your questions. Good Luck

That is a beautiful dress... I love it

room mate- stinky socks

About the gifts and some stuff, we got help from my bride's sister, so it's not a problem anymore. welcome and happy planing... We'll keep you entertained and inspired.

Wall hooks! any store that sells xmas decorations. There plastic hooks with a sticky tab that sticks to the wall and can be pulled off without leaving a mark. Tacks may not work because most walls in mexico are concrete or clay. Good Luck chickie
