welcome and have fun planning.... I seen a wedding at Moon Palace... it was beautiful... Neat watching a wedding with a beer in your hand and your bathing suit on....

Yeah like the earlier post... people always try to find the negative in everything... My FI and I have both been married before and we didn't want the big catered hall venue. We both love to travel and would be totally happy if it was just us and both of our kids there. Right now we have 16 booked and I have to say I am a little shocked by who has come on board and who hasn't yet. Needless to say I have 16 and hoping for more, those who don't can stay home and shovel their driveway while we party in the sun. Some people have no social filter.... I think it I say it.....Don't let it get to you... if you had th big hall and dinner at home... someone would conplain about that too, oh it so expensive and oh I am so stressed with all the details..... Whatever.... It's Your day

welcome happy planning... lots of very creative and talented people to help you here

You never know what you'll find there, just recently there was painting found at "Goodwill" that was donated by persons unknown and it turn out the be an orignal of some famous painter and part of a long lost collection and it was auctioned off for over 2million dollars.... Yes we're waiting for a picture and there maybe a few more bargin hunters at the local Goodwill

Looking very beautiful in that dress... It certianly is the one!!!!!

best wishes for your future and your pictures are very beautiful

I also am trying to figure out the costs...my FI is unemployed right now and I can't bear the thought of throwing out $$$ if I change my hair back to brunette. The highlights are not cheap! lol but then I would save money if i go back to brunette. AH HELP! It is due for me to update my highlights. My roots are showing already! Can you help since you're all ladies and good at giving advice?? Me with my current color... http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...19023_4789.jpg Me with brunette color http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-...58764_4252.jpg Do let me know what color will your hair be for your wedding too! Very quickly here is my hair story... I am 40ish and going grey fast.. roots roots roots... every 4 weeks I was spending about $100 on filling in the roots and topping up the low lites and highlites. I pulled into the parking lot of the hairdressers about three months ago and looked int the rearview mirror at myself.... I didn't like the hair it looked over processed and dead. I have been doing this process above for oh about 8 years. I was very blonde with the hightlites. I went into the salon and told my hairdresser... Make chestnut brown again.... Stunned but very excited she did and I walked away paying $55.00, I touch up the roots every month with of the counter colour and i haven't been back to see her since... I will be going closer to my birthday in october to have a cut. My hair is shining and healthy, OH FUNNY my FI had never seen me with dark hair.... you had to see his face.... He loved it.. shocked to hell when came home and there was a dark haired lady in the kitchen making dinner. But loved it and I get so many compliments from people how they love the dark hair. I am so happy I went back to darker hair just easier and less $$$$$$$$$$$$$ right now.... I looked at your pictures and the dark hair is very sexy.... My 2cents... take care

It'll be hot not matter what you wear... If you love the dress go for it

I know how hard it is to confront a bad friend and you should be breathing a sigh of relief that you got it over with now instead of doing so at your wedding and having to sooth the hurts of your other friends and family that she caused. Things like this make me so incredibly thankful that I parted ways with a best friend that was very negative and controlling about two months before I got engaged. I can't imagine dealing with her crap while planning a wedding. Yeah I am doing ok with it... It wasn't my plan to attack her the way I did and I did truely have a plan to talk things out with her about how I was feeling... She jumped on me as soon as I got there and I lost it. I really hate making someone cry. I really didn't want to hurt her feelings, i kinda behaved the way she does. Since then there has been 5 emails from her and she dropped by the house without calling and I was next door at my neighbours house, so poor FI had to listen to her for a hour. Poor guy lies for me and said "I was out with my son and we took his car". Then he get the whole "oh my god I don't understand she is so upset with me and i don't understand what I have done!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah... I am getting the guilt "she made cry so hard I had to go home I couldn't talk I was shaking so hard"..... Did I mention we're grown women in our 40's.. This is bloody high school drama and I am kicking myself for not dealing with this along time ago. Oh well "it's out there and it's done". I just wish I handled it better... Take Care Ladies I just needed to vent.

Best Wishes on your wedding day... try not to let this stress go with you, flowers or no flowers... I know you want that day perfect.. Focus on your family friends and FI.... If your get the flowers you may have a "Bittersweet" taste in your mouth when your think of all the stress to get them...... Take Care

beautiful pictures, looking forward to seeing more

Hmmmm.... Yeah that is a great question? He/she has never been there because they don't allow outsider so... Who would know... Just say it's a family & friends are taking your pictures and he/she is an over zealous friend/family memeber that goes extreme....lol I don't want a photographer because I will only have a few pictures taken.... i am not good with cameras.... I would feel overwhelmed with a photographer on my butt telling me to smile and pose.

If I am really impressed with the service there after I will also give her a cash tip. Ok this is an awesome idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the more personal touch... and the cash is great too.....

Welcome happy planning
