Everything looks SO great!! LOVE your dress...I stole some of your cute ideas. Have fun!!!

You did an awesome job!!!

Yall are both going to have amazing weddings!!! I just know it!!! Wish I could get out of this freezing cold weather and join yall!

Hey!! We have an Azul Sensatori thread on here. It is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! You should come join! I ended up switching resorts, but i have stayed on the thread. The girls are awesome! Congrats and welcome!

I am DYING to know what happens tonight! but unfortunately FI has a trial tomorrow and has to work...and doesn't want me watching without him!!!! CAN'T wait!!!

I sent Leslie a PM to check on her! I hope she is doing ok...

Oh, the $2100 INCLUDES the airfare...had to clarify that before everyone freaked out! haha

Yall, I may not have any friends after this is all said and done! haha Hopefully, they won't hate me forever. Everyone that is staying 7 nights is moving to a cheaper resort on Sunday. All my friends kept saying; PICK WHATEVER RESORT YOU WANT and STOP BUGGING US ABOUT IT! hahaha SO I am holding them to it. It ends up being $2100 for 3 nights and airfare for 2 people. Ouch!!!!! At least it is all inclusive I guess. And the way my friends drink, they would probably run that up anyways! hahaha Pray they don't hate me forever though... JPLOVESME-Oh! I love both of those resorts! You definitely can't go wrong with either one of those! Hey, would you like to come join our "Azul Sensatori Thread?" The girls are awesome and give great advice, ideas, feedback, etc. I stayed on the thread, even after I decided to head to Le Blanc! So, come on over! ha

On Friday we found flowergirl dresses for FI nieces - soooo cute. when they both came out the changing room holding hands I nearly balled it! got so chocked up, and in a way, that made it all feel more real seeing them like that. Also sorted out my remaining bridesmaid's new dress (we wanted to get her a better dress kinda as a thank you and also as she's now on her own). thought, 'great, sorted' then went to order it online today (so we had a brand new one) and it says there's either a problem with the link or they're not stocking it anymore...arrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh if its the latter, I am going to have a nervous breakdown....this was the only dress we found that everyone agreed on in about FOUR shopping trips! so please keep your fingers crossed for me! (you'll all know soon enough!! lol) inserts are done after a nightmare - i did them in Publisher on my PC, and then sent them to my email so i could open it on my dad's (which has the printer) except he's got a mac and doesn't recognise Publisher. Then copied it over on my Pc into a word doc and after much more fiddling about, got there, sent it to myself again, but when I opened it on my dads, it didn't like the changes I'd made to it in word! so FI just rewrote it all out in a word doc on my dads pc and we just had to forgo all the fancy editing and formatting. but hey, its done now. got our gift cards finally sorted after FI decided he didn't like the one we did in the shop and so did a new one online. then he decided he didn't really like that one and wanted to add to the one we did in the shop. long story short, I made it be ok with the one he did online and we just added some more things to it. so i then could write the gift list number on all the cards to go in with the invites! lol and finally...don't know what you will make of this, but on Friday I found out my BF (the one who's dropped out - you all remember that?! lol) is going to the Dominican Republic with her boyf for a week, just the 2 of them (her birthday present)....just a week BEFORE we all fly out for the wedding. think im in shock or numb because I really don't know how I feel about that or if I feel anything at all. ah well....I'm off to stuff envelopes with all our invites and inserts, so night all xx It sounds like you were SUPER productive!! I know everything didn't go exactly as planned, but "well done you!" ha I agree with your FI too...you would rather get it right than stare at it everyday and wished you had purchased a different ring! OMG! I am speechless about your friend. However, nothing surprises me these days. What are you going to do?

If I remember correctly, I don't think they charge the $500 if they are staying at the resort. At my resort, there is a similar policy. And all I have to pay is for her 3 nights. AND the plane ticket!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!

Alas, the cost is too much for our guests, so we had to look elsewhere (and we'd have a number of guests staying at another location, so there goes the 10% non-resort guest capacity). But it's great to see someone on BDW is getting married there! The videos on youtube of weddings there are beautiful. I love the privacy of the place! Keep the board updated on your wedding there! I will for sure! I have not seen the youtube videos...thanks for telling me about that! Yeah, I am kinda nervous about the 10%, but we will see! I ended up getting a better deal than the $568 or whatever it was, but it is still expensive!!! Where did you decide to get married?

Getting married in August 2008 was fabulous! Good luck with all your planning! Hi Becks! I know you have been such a HUGE help to everyone on the forum. I am getting married August 7th in Cancun and am terrified about the weather all of a sudden!!!!! The dreaded rain and ________ and mainly the HEAT! I am from the south, so we are used to 80-90 weather in the summer. Can you tell me "how bad was the heat?" Thanks Becks!

I wish I could afford Elizabeth Medina, I think she is the most amazing photog! Oh my gosh! Those pictures are amazing! I NEED NEED NEED those silver chairs. Does AS provide that color or do you think she rented those? It seems like they didn't have that option when I looked. I don't think Le Blanc has silver...I think only gold. Need those! ha

I personally think it would be hilarious to put "Mark + Amy 4eva"!! LOL I agree!! We are doing some cute throw away cups like that...Lutz n Lindz 4Eva!!! hahahaha

Welcome to this fabulous forum! Everyone is so helpful and creative!

WOW!!! Those will come in handy...thanks girl!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing with us!
