White. Red reminds me of communion! Would you rather eat raw garlic or a habanero pepper?

No shoes for ceremony... maybe some blinged out flip flops but I might get something bright and flirty for the reception (but then again, my feet will prob start to hurt and Ill be back in flip flops!) I've been trying to do my "extras" but I can't get Ana to email me back!! We went ahead and moved the cocktail hour to the night before the wedding because we didn't want to eat dinner so late (ceremony starts at 6). I think I'm going to use the Mexican Trio for the cocktail hour, too. Flowers I'll pick when I get there. Sound system: another bride that got married at DRC said that she was glad that they had the sound system b/c otherwise the wind and waves drown out the voices. We're using they're photographer. I've seen some slideshows and they're nice. We're also on a budget but pics are important and we're going to add an extra hour or so. I was going to rent the sound system for the reception and bring my iPod but then I saw that it was about $600 for the night just for that vs. $900 for a dj. Plus, I won't have to worry about making a 3+ hour playlist that suits all tastes!! I love this site b/c I get more answers here to my questions than from the WC at the resort. It's so frustrating at times but then I relax (just a bit) when I think about all the other women in the same boat. I'm just going with the flow and I'm sure that most things will be finalized either when I get there or right before.

I picked the beach because it looked a little more natural and serene. We're doing the ultimate package because of the dvd. Okay, more than just that. But my brother is leaving for the army right before our wedding and my older family members won't be able to travel to Mexico so we figured we could burn copies of the dvd and send them. When I was looking at other resorts it just seemed the best deal for the amount of money and size of wedding (others only included 10, etc.).

These are great!

I'm on the fence about it. My last name is unique and ethnic (but long and a pain to spell). FI's is short and plain. I don't want to hyphenate it but I also don't want to give mine up either. I don't have a middle name so I was thinking about legally changing my name to Cathy My maiden name New last name but FI gives me funny looks. My first name isn't hispanic but my last name is and if I take his last name then on paper I don't look hispanic. am i making a big deal about this?

I haven't seen embellished starfish necklaces for less than $30 but I haven't looked everywhere either... Try evesaddiction.com or overstocksilver.com google "tiffany inspired starfish necklace" hope this helps!

You can also keep track of your activity and there's a map that shows the route youre taking. Pretty awesome stuff if you like to do your exercise outside. It will also let you manual input any information from workouts you've done indoors like treadmill or elliptical. Runkeeper doesn't work with C25K But if you download Nicole's podcasts you can have that playing and then open up Runkeeper. The podcasts are great because there's a soft countdown from 5 before you switch to running or walking so there's no need to look at a clock.
