Diamond girl I am impressed you do the insanity workout! I tired it for three days and hated it so badly I dreaded leaving work knowing I had to go home to that video..lol...I went crazy this holiday season so I will be going back to what workouts I did last spring for my FI brothers wedding, biggest losers last chance workout, jillian michaels 30 day shred, jillian michaels yoga meltdown, physique 57 and running...I like to mix all those up because I get bored easily and I go to two local zumba/ zumba toning classes per week...I love the zumba classes so fun! Exercise is fine for me, my weakness is sweets, I won't be doing any fad diets, just eating healthy and correct portion size, good luck to all of you! I knwo I will need it!

Love their christmas PJ's! so Cute, Congrats!

I LOVE the dress you have now, beautiful but, if you are choosing btw the 2 new ones I pick the first one, the second seems more for a rustic wedding than beach..just my opinion though

Amazing story

I love the necklace! thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the receipe! I'm definitely using this for the AHR, such a cute way to have a little bit of Jamaican atomosphere! Love the tiki bar!

thanks Andrea, that book looks so cute but not super cheesy!

Just found out my MOH is 10wks pregnant on Christmas day, anyone have any good mom-to-be present ideas?

Figured in the holiday spirit we could start a christmas gift thread best gifts I got...my new bulldog was a christmas present from my mom I got in September and FI got me a new laptop...strictly because I'm searching BDW and wedding stuff all the time..lol best gift I gave...a sentimental ornament to my mother, made her cry

I experienced both sides, at first I was nervous telling people about our engagement, probably because it was such a surprise to me, I just felt uneasy about the million questions that followed..the who's, what's where and when's...then as I have started to figure out the answers to those questions I find myself wanting to talk about it, show people pictures, tell them my ideas and of course talk about my FI...I hold back a lot, I know how annoying that can be to listen to repeatedly..lol

We are getting married May 13 at the Riu in Ochos Rios, we actually decided to go with Sungold just worked out better for what we were looking for. On a side note we stayed at the RIU in aruba it was great, hope our Jamaica Rius are just as nice. Good luck Planning!

Just wondering for those of you ROR brides who are using sungold photography and using an associate photographer... are you booking them as an overnight guest or just paying the vendor fees plus travel expense?

It is kind of comforting to know other BDW brides are having this same issue. My FI and I were very reassuring (or so I thought) to explain to people, that we COMPLETELY understand if they can not make it to our wedding no matter what the reasoning, money/time/fear of travel. We are having a casual AHR to include everyone in the celebration. Thought everything was going great with reactions to our decision on a DW until my FI, sister-in-law (just as of 5/10) made the comment that she can't afford to buy new pots and pans because she "HAS" to go to Jamaica in the spring, and that now she can't get pregnant right away because she will have to fly, and has also commented that the price of flights has went up....its not so much what she said (eventhough its all ridiculous) but the context and tone in which she said it, Nevermind that we just spent how much money and used days off of work for their wedding! Sorry for the long rant, its just no one else has been able to remotely understand why this is so rude to me....she also commented..."you're allowed to have a shower if you get married,away"

How much for the wine stoppers?

Beachbride, are you saying that the Riu doesn't charge the vendor fee for Shangria La?
