Has anyone tried on #2091? I'm wanting to try on #'s 2091, 2100 and 2105 but I'd like to lose 5-10 pounds before dress shopping.

They look really great! I already have that same paper cutter in my stash of scrapbook supplies too

OOOH I love the Toni dress, it is definitely not in my budget though

I also love the last one

I'm walking by myself and I'm very happy about that decision

He's 1 year and 2 weeks younger

I don't recommend the Kat Von D product. It needs several other products to "set" the foundation and it still rubs off the minute your clothes touch it or when someone gives you a hug...

love everything!

I wouldn't. It will only fuel the fire. He needs to stand up for himself.

I don't want a shower or gift registry but FI's mom is pretty set... none of my female friends even live in the same state anymore!! I hope I can stand my ground without offending her.

Now, if it was a DJ I could justify the costs but we said we'd bring music on an IPOD. I wrote back and told her we wouldn't need the use of it, but she just said ok and left the contract the same... I'm not comfortable signing it... Ugh, it's stressing me out already. I considered just switching to Excellence Playa because their coordinator seems more helpful, but my fiance really prefers SMB and the beach looks amazing so I don't know... Here's what it says on the contract: Sound Stereo System for Ceremony $180 usd +10% tax $ 199.80 (speakers, microphone) Music will be bring by their own. Sound Stereo System for Reception, 3 hours, $180 usd +10% tax $ 599.40 (speakers, microphone) Music will be bring by their own.

Welcome to the forum!

What is everyone doing about music? Cecilia sent me the contract with ~$800 for sound system rental on there! There's no way I want to pay that, it's the cost of the whole wedding package! Can we use an Ipod dock? I'd rather just ask for one for my birthday and take it with me or something. We're having a very small, but outdoor, reception.

Wow, that looks amazing! Definitely worth the $150!

I just found the pricelist on their website while I was poking around... try this link: http://www.excellence-resorts.com/al...list_playa.pdf

When we told FI's mom that were doing a DW in Mexico, the first thing out of her mouth was asking if we were going to pay everyone's way... !!!! She knows we don't have a lot of money since FI is still finishing up school, that's why we didn't want to do something local because DC prices are outrageous!

Mine doesn't annoying me and he's great, but I'm still scared too. I'm not scared about it being forever or growing apart, i'm just scared of getting hurt.

We considered the Outer Banks to make it easier on our guests too, but the nice places around there like the Hilton Pier House and Sanderling were way out of our budget for the venue alone ($8000-10,000) When is your wedding? We're planning ours for 15 months out so we're giving people plenty of time to save money and we're expecting people to come down just for 2-3 days, not a whole week.

We ordered my ring online so I got proposed to in the FedEx parking lot when we went to go sign for it... LOL

I like the style 2100 too. Bummer to hear that it's hot and constricting

I'm hoping to find a good deal on the Karena Royale dress - it's my top pick

I got the questionnaire today and it's confusing me!! How am I supposed to know the number of guests and where they'd be staying before we secure a place to send out invitations?? Is it okay to send it back without that part filled in yet? Also has anyone had a small wedding here? We'll have under 20 guests so we can't do the beach reception. Where is a good option for a smaller party? Does anyone have pictures of the different reception locations? We definitely want our ceremony to be on the beach.

About P90X - There is a classic rotation and a lean rotation. You can find the workout order on google. You need a set of hand weights (or resistance bands) and a pull-up bar (but i'm not getting one and will just skip that part). I haven't done them all yet, but they're definitely doable because they show variations and recommend that you go at your own pace. They are pretty lengthy workouts though.

It wouldn't open for me either

What is your budget for photography? I was kind of thrown off by the prices too, because when I was looking at an east coast wedding the prices were much cheaper (as in half the price) for photographers that seem just as good.
