hoped to ride tonight (i'm a horseback rider), but it's way too hot and humid out so I plan to do the 30 day shred after work instead

Valentine_baby --- I also *highly* recommend you download the podcasts here to help you through the program http://runningintoshape.com/5k-training-downloads/ I couldn't have completed the 9 weeks without them!!!! good luck!

Love the dress Maggie!

Just recieved our renewed passports in the mail! one more thing to check off the list!

they look great!

you did an amazing job!!! they look great

thank you so much for the great review!!!! and congrats!!! i must be blind though as I can't seem to find the link to your pictures??? would love to see them

finally some drama!!!!

I'm planning on wearing wedge flip flops for the ceremony and hoping to wear these for the reception. I thought about just going bear foot but i'm really short and want the height to complete me ideal look. I'm still on the hunt for the flip flops, but have found the heels I want on ebay for $30 incl shipping! ... I saw these EXACT shoes at a store in my local mall for $100! And turquoise is our wedding colour too!

congrats to you and your new hubby!! great review and love your pics!

my FI is also 5 years older than me - it's perfect!!!

kudos to all you ladies working through this! I started and completed the C25K program this past feb/march and swear by it!!!! i've since run a 10k and am now starting training for a 1/2 marathon! keep at it!

so glad i found this thread here! I only just started running this past february with the Couch To 5K program. did my first 5k race in april and my first 10K race in may! I haven't don't too much running so far this summer because it's been sooooo hot and humid here and I just can't handle getting up to run before work. The heatwave here has broken for now at least and only yesterday I realized I needed something to motivate me and a new big goal to work towards....... so I think I've decided that I want to train for my first 1/2 marathon! I researched and found a 12 week program with 3-4 runs/week that just might fit into my schedule. My target race is Oct 24, 2010. Training is to commence August 9!! I think I'm going to work on the training for a few weeks and if all is going well, I'll officially register!

yes!!! so happy things are finally stirred up in this house!! thank you Andrew!!!!!

I would totally just book online - especially if you've already booked your stay too. It's so easy! good luck!

what a great question! i've never attended one but many people i speak to have and loved them! can't wait to hear what everyone has to say

Looks great!

It must be because Feb is peak season. We are paying $1536 per person for the Riu Negril in April 2011.

Hi Frizzy! Congrats and welcome!!! Don't stress!!!!!!! the whole idea of a DW is to not stress!!! (at least that's how my FI and I are looking at it) You still have plenty of time! My date is April 9 at the Riu Negril and I'm not even going to start dress shopping until oct/nov! As for STD and invites, I only sent out the STD a couple of weeks ago because we had landed a great group quote that is only valid for a month! So we wanted to give everyone the option to take advantage! No need to freak out! I'm puzzled as to what your TA is telling you about 6 weeks for confirmation - confrimation for what????? I reserved my wedding date and time on the Riu weddings website and recieved an email from them about 3 days later saying that the date/time will be held for 90 days. At least for Riu Negril, you can't confirm your wedding until you actually book your stay. We officially booked our stay 2 weeks ago, recieved our booking confirmation # several days after that -- I then went to confirm the wedding via the Riu wedding website and it was confirmed right away! I have since contacted the wedding coordinator to ensure we have the steakhouse reserved for our reception and all is good! I don't see why it would take so long for Riu Ocho Rios, so maybe investigate that if you're worried??? Again, don't stress! just go with the flow!

wow! those look amazing!!

Thank you so much for this JesseLyn!!! I've been wanting plain cotton totes to iron on my own logo to! The price is right here!

photographer is the next big thing on our list.. however we have a friend who is an amazing budding photographer. She offered to do pics for us as a gift if she can make it to Jamaica. We're just waiting to hear from her if she's going to be able to make the trip down. *fingers crossed!*

thanks for posting! they look awesome!
