This is the updated picture that they sent me, please let me know your thoughts. They still have to wrap the stems, but I think it's a lot closer.

That must be a lot of booze if it requires a trip to PR!! Haha!! Yes, she said she'd send me a new picture so I'm just waiting. I think all I have to complete before Mexico is music for the private function, recessional song, finish the welcome booklet, get the flowers taken care of. Are you bringing a cake knife set? I'm considering just using whatever they have, but not sure. Did you see the pic of the starfish that I received from kpuckrin friday? I'm glad I got it! Tesia: You guys are great for having packed already!! Oh wait...I guess you're leaving next week!!! I need to start thinking about that! I'm in the market for a big duffel bag that is collapsable to put my OOT bag stuff in so that I don't have to bring an empty suitcase back.

Allison: HAPPY WEDDING DAY, GIRL!!!! Shells: Have a safe trip and I can't wait to hear the details later! Rayanne: Way to go on the bouts!!! They look great and you are super creative! I've never seen one's like that. We sent out our AHR invites last Monday...it's so fun to come home to RSVP's everyday. I'm getting so excited!!

WhooHooo!!! I got the clear starfish today...Thanks kpuckrin!!! I always wondered what it looked like exactly because as far as I could tell there wasn't a picture posted so I'll post one now since I have the little guy. This is the starfish and the journal, which is great by the way, former brides! dc22173's clear starfish line-up: 1 ) kpuckrin- January 12 - BlueBeard's Beach, St. Thomas 2 ) tonyandtricia - February 26 - Moon Palace, Cancun 3 ) futuremsmoulton - February 27 - Moon Palace, Cancun 4 ) ebredhawk - April 28 - Dreams Punta Cana 5 ) ldeavila - May 10 - Las Caletas, Puerto Vallarta 6 ) future mrs. kt ellis - June 5 - Scottsdale, AZ 7 ) *kerin28* - June 19 - Worcester, MA 8 ) Bahiabride2010 - July 3 - Punta Cana 9 ) breeze616 - December 10 - Iberostar Rose Hall Beach, Montego Bay

Brooke: The flowers are soooo pretty!!! They turned out great!! Timberly: The hair inspiration pic is gorgeous. Good pick! Rayanne: I would have a problem with that too! I hope it all works out! Shell: It's almost time!!!!!

I'm not having a reception and only invited about 40 or so to the wedding, so we decided not to have a shower. We didn't invite a lot of FI's family because we knew they couldn't afford a week in the Virgin Islands, but I feel like they should be at a shower (because I've gone to all of their's!) so we just decided not to have one Good luck! To me, a shower is for your closest friends and family and if you didn't think they were close enough to invite to the wedding I wouldn't invite them to the shower. I would probably think it was kind of rude to be invited to give someone a gift and not invited to share in their day with them. "You want a gift from me, but not for me to share in your wedding with you?!?" If you were only inviting a few people to the wedding then maybe I could understand, but 70 people is a lot. You will most likely still get gifts from them for the AHR if that's the point of inviting them to your shower. Just my thoughts...

That's why it's better that we stick with our fellow February brides! Erica: Congrats on becoming a MRS!! Shell: Last day of work?? YAY!! Rayanne: The dress sounds great! I also put a pig on my sanitizer bottles. How cute. I called my flower people today because it takes them forever to respond to an email and she said she's going to put something else together and send it to me. I'm crossing my fingers! Thanks for all of the suggestions!

SUSIE!!! That picture brought tears to my eyes! I'm so happy for you and you look BEAUTIFUL!!! PS...is that Ms. Thang to your hubby's left?? also...thanks for the suggestions ladies, I emailed them, have calmed down, and have come up with a back up plan just in case they can't do better. Ahhh...the stresses... and yes, chris, they are real touch.

Ok I'll try again...

Oh gosh, I'm about to cry. Please help. I hate the picture that my flower people sent me as a sample. Please give me suggestions on what I can tell them to change about it to make it better. I just really really don't like it. It doesn't look as pretty as the inspiration picture. Do you think it's because of the pink that they chose to use. I hope they can fix it!!!!!!!!! Otherwise I'm gonna have to have the resort do it... Inspiration....Way pretty!!! Sample email I just got. UGH!!!

Brooke- I love your dress, you look so pretty!! YAY! Bachelorette party looks fun! Mines next week I'm excited. I never even considered the train and what I was going to do with it in the carriage!! I'm just gonna try leave it down and make the most of it. I like trains so I want it to show at some point! If the bustle is an easy hook maybe it could be let down after you get out of the carriage...

Both dresses are beautiful, but my vote is for DRESS #2!

YAY!! Shell!!! It's almost your turn! I'm excited for you are looking forward to hearing all the details afterward!!

Happy wedding day, susie!!!!!! Whooohoooooo!!!! Brooke, congrats on the condo!! That is so exciting!! I have not received my picture yet They said I'd get in Jan 30, but still haven't received it yet. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow afternoon and if I don't get it I will email her. I looked up my confirmation just to make sure that my order went through and my credit card was charged, which it was. We'll see... Timberly, Yay...so glad you have a contender. Susie's getting married, Susie's getting married!!! The first February bride!!! YAY!!

Very cute! and I love the brown with bright flowers!

TeNeil: I love your dress. It looks so fun and definitely a princess wedding dress!! Very cute. Kristen H: I had the 20 questions thing too at my shower on Saturday. I did pretty good. I missed his favorite color (I have no idea how we never really discussed that), what he enjoys doing on the weekend the most (I said hanging out with me he said watching football), and who kissed who first (we were intoxicated so I assumed me, but he said him). It was funny. The question to how many kids do you want he said "2. (And don't let her get off track. I don't want to be out numbered. The can overthrow you.)" Haha.

Krista: I am so sorry for your loss! It sounds like you had a great final day with her that you will have wonderful memories of. Allison: I agree with you...sometimes if feels like the ladies have to bear the weight of all the stress, planning, worrying, ect. It has frustrated me too. They're gonna be thankful when us girls pull of an awesome wedding though!! Timberly: How sweet of Chris!! I hope you find someone wonderful! Susie: Argh! Sorry to hear about the theif!!! I hope that you guys are having a great time despite that! Chris: Glad you finally got the dress home!! And beautiful necklace. That's really pretty. You're right, $70 for a bra is crazy expensive, but if it makes everything look good they know we'll pay it!

Thanks guys! Timberly: So sorry to hear about your hair person!! I'm sure that it will all work out, but I totally understand....NOT what you need right now!!! I'm guessing none of your guests have any hair experience?? Keep us updated. Rayanne: Gorgeous ring!! And way to go with the DIY projects!! I've been compiling materials, but haven't actually started and hopefully I can give it a go tonight. Your stuff looks great!!

Erica: Holy cow that's a lot of booze!! Timberly: I think your vases are really nice! I love the etching too. It's hard to tell size in the picture, I know you said you were worried about that. My vases aren't very big. My main one is only 10 inches and the side ones are smaller than that. Here are the pictures from my first fitting! It went really good. They don't have to do any major alterations just a few things that I wanted different. I also ordered my jewelry and veil today as well. The jewelry is shown (except I'm not going to wear a necklace) and I ended up going with a finger tip veil instead of a cathedral length and I think it looks really nice! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

Hi Ladies, the site has been weird...I can hardly go to another page without waiting 5 minutes. Susie!!! Good to hear from you girl. Sorry to hear you passed out! You're right, sometimes our body just says"enough already!!!" I hope your meeting goes well and GOOD LUCK!!

mrseddy: how did you transport your petals? Did you run into any problems? Are we technically no supposed to take them into Mexico? I can't find the rules anywhere! I just read that you can't take plants that can be replanted.

Good luck, Susie!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KRISTA!!!
