Does the first option involve you guys dancing or is it a burlesque show that are you watching. Either way, I think that one sounds like fun! Different from the normal girl's night out. Susieq- that's some internal clock you have. I don't have one, but my dog seems to know to wake me up every day 10 minutes before my alarm is supposed to go off. Drives me crazy.

Welcome to the forum Sara!

Thanks for the info!!

Congrats, Vicky!!! Good luck!

Very beautiful! He did good!

SusieQ: beautiful dress!! and I love the shoes! I think you look great...no need to worry. I didn't recognize you without the St. Patty's day garb on. FutureMsMoulton: people have backed out of ours as well. I try not to get upset about it because we knew going into the whole DW thing that a lot of people wouldn't be able to make it. I know sometimes I can't help to be a little disappointed too. It is funny though, how excited people are to go and then when the time comes they back out. At least you're having an AHR so that you can still celebrate with everyone! shinbinea: your BM dresses look great!

Welcome, Kat! You've definitely come to the right place if you are considering a destination wedding!

I think everyone covered the basics! We also have corn casserole, which is always yummy... Corn Casserole Approx. 6 bacon strips, crisp and crumbled 2 tbsp chopped onion 2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp flour 1/2 tsp salt 2 cans of whole kernel corn. (recipe technically calls for 2, but i double everything and i like it to not be so runny so i use about 5.5 or so cans) 1 cup sour cream 1. Saute onions 2. Blend in flour and salt 3. Add sour cream gradually, stirring until smooth. Bring to a boil. 4. Add corn. Stir in half of the bacon 5. Pour into buttered casserole dish 6. Top with remaining bacon 7. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.

Just remember that if you wear it again you have to have enough time in between your wedding and AHR to have it professionally cleaned before the AHR. So how much time was that? Ours is 3 weeks after we get back and I already had one place tell me that wasn't enough time??

I didn't think any of the big airlines offered free checked bags anymore (except southwest, but I don't think they fly there) I flew Delta to Mexico last summer and we got 2 free checked bags. I don't think the baggage fees apply to international flights, but not positive on that.

SusieQ- I agree...I'd love to see your dress too!! And I think Shellk is right...when I finally tried on "the one" there were no tears, goosebumps, and I was only 90% sure it was "the one." 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...

Welcome and congrats!!!

Get what you want!! I could see how it probably looks flashy on you already. Mine is similar...1.4 carats and I'm 5'7" with long fingers so it looks normal. My step mom tried on my ring, she's 4'11" with tiny hands and it looked huge!! Do what you are comfortable with!

We will be at Moon Palace in Cancun for the wedding and then off to Excellence Playa Mujures for 5 days. Can't wait!!! We wanted to move to an adults only and be away from the fam, as much as we love them...

Those look great! You did a really good job!!

Has anyone else had to send their ring away? How long before you got it back? I sent mine away...it was supposed to take about 4 days to get it back and it took 2 weeks!! I was not happy! They kept promising it to me every couple of days and it wasn't ready. FI said I was being too nice to them so he just called and said we are picking up the ring tomorrow, whether you are done with the wax-up or not. I showed up last week with the intention of just getting my ring and finding someone else to make the band, but the wax-up looked really good and the price was less than I expected so I'm sticking with them. I'm such a sucker. Glad to feel engaged again, I know how you feel TeNeil!!

They look great!! You did an awesome job!

Awesome idea!! I love it! I'll add some miles to the total tomorrow!

Welcome! Good luck planning!
