OMG GIRLS, I JUST REALIZE THAT EXACTLY 7 MONTHS FROM TODAY I WILL BE GETTING MARRRYYYY~!!! The funny thing is that I started to freak out thinking OMG I have so much to do in such a short time and then I realized that by the time December 1st, 2010 comes all of you will already be MRS!!!!!!!!! omg this is a group hug moment !!!!!!!!! lol

Wonderfulllllll ideaaaaa!!!!

I'm spending $16 per room, that's what's on my budget and I'm planning to stay on track with my spending.. It is easy to add this here and something else there and end up speding $50 per bag! If I had more $$$ I would, but I only have $16 per bag! lol I found great cheap bags made of Jute plant fiber on sale for $1 (original price $5.99)and having spent only that on the bags I have plenty of extra money for things to put in the bags! Here's the link with bag's*PICS*. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ve-them-58559/ Inside the bags (items still TBD) but so far I though of: * Personalized water (get the water there, I will bring the labels from home to put on them) * $0.99 first aid kit * small insect repellant (I'm pretty sure most of my guests will forget to bring this!) * small hand sanitizer * etc. etc...

This is a great idea!!! It is called the Marriott Honeymoon Gift Registry. I just finish registering for us and I thought that some of you might be interested! This is how it works (source: https://www.marriottregistry.com): •You complete your registry wish list by selecting items from the Marriott gift list. •Notify your guests via email about your registry. •Guests sign in and purchase items from your wish list. (Note: Prices associated with registry items are sample prices only. Actual prices vary by Marriott location, season and by your selections. For example, a room in Paris during the spring vs. a room in Florida during the summer will have different accommodation rates.) •Each time a guest purchases an item from your wish list, the cash amount associated with that item is added to the value loaded on your Honeymoon Registry GiftCard. •Use the GiftCard for services or merchandise anytime at any Marriott-brand hotel worldwide. That gives you the flexibility to enjoy items selected by your guests or to make alternate selections of services and merchandise; or activities charged to your hotel room account (guest folio). •Along with your honeymoon GiftCard, you will receive 50 free registry announcement cards that you can include in your invitations. We register last week and this is everything we received in the mail a few days later: Another options for all of us, Brides, that don’t really want to get presents for our home or things that we already have… Check out this funny video as well: YouTube - The Useless Gifter Here’s the link to the website: https://www.marriottregistry.com/default.aspx Could we please make this thread a sticky? Thank you!!!

Hello Girls! I just found my OOT bags and I LOVE THEM!!! They are exactly what I wanted in the price I needed them I have in my budget $16 to spend per room for my OOT bags, therefore I was looking for some bags that were original and more than just paper on a very low budget (in that way I could spend more money in things to put in it!) I found them at a Christmas Tree Shops in Springfield, NJ (for all brides in this area: 350 Route 22 West, Springfield). The bags are Hallmark, eco friendly made of jute plant fiber with a rattan cane handle and water-resistant liner. They are hot pink with a lighter pink on the site, the cost $1 per bag (original cost of the bag's tag $5.99). To personalize them, I’m printing tags with our monogram and attaching them to the handle using the same country blue raffia ribbon I used in our boarding passes (http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...emplate-58281/ ) I posted some pictures below and one of them has a can of coke on the side to give you an idea of the bag’s size. Here’s the link to Christmas Tree Shops in case you would like to find a location close to you: Christmas Tree Shops - Don't You Just Love a Bargain

My 5pm wedding in the gazebo ended up being 5.45pm near Himitzu under cover. Disappointing but what can you do other than enjoy the rest of the day. It did stop raining shortly after so we managed to get out down to the beach for photos but it's sad when you see the gazebo and dream of marrying there. Our reception was moved from the Borrdoex terrace to Tiame?? (can't remember spelling) room which worked out better for us, although it was a bit hot inside, it was nice and private with plenty of room for the kids to run around. All in all it was a nice day and the hotel & rooms are beautiful! Catherine Catherine CONGRATSSS ON YOUR WEDDING!!!!!!!! I'm glad you had a great time apart from the rain. At the end of the day, you marry the love of your life and that's all that matters!!!! Congrats once again and I can't wait to see pictures!!!

girls I'M A US CITIZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!

GIRLSSS I'M A U.S. CITIZZENNNN!!!! Afterrr being there from 10AM until 5PM! Totally worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW AMAZING AMY!!!! Can I come to your wedding LOL
