Hey all - it is me again. Thanks so much for all the well wishes. To answer a few questions...based on reviews on this forum and the fact that we want his son and niece at the wedding, we are looking at a few of the resorts in Mexico - particularly the Palace resorts or the Karisma resorts since both have family-friendly amenities. We are almost 100% sure that we want to go the all-inclusive route. Right now, the biggest thing I can do since the wedding is more than a year out is just get us both on a saving program. We are planning to live off of my salary (I make more) and save all of his. That way, by the time the big day rolls around, we will have more than enough saved to give us both our dream wedding. The biggest issue right now is getting my parents on board - but I am hoping that comes with time. I realize I can't live my life for them anymore. I have to do what makes me happy. Still, I do want them to be there and to truly be happy for me, but we will see. Now on to creating a siggy so I can add that personal touch to my posts.

I am nothing but a procrastinator, but have been so proactive regarding the planning it is crazy. I guess that's what happens when you are super excited about something. Thanks for all the congratulations!

Hello all, My name is Lauren, and I just got engaged last Friday (10/23). The only definite we have decided is to 1) have a destination wedding & 2) have it sometime in 2011. So I have time and too many options. Right now I am trying to figure out a realistic budget that we both can handle, as we don't expect any help from my family or his. Nice to meet everyone - and I look forward to getting plenty of ideas from these forums.
