Does Rashel have a website or page with her work? I'm going to google now but if anyone has photos i'd love to see. thnx

Does anyone have the contact info for Loni Jones or Paul March? I heard they are excellent makeup artists also.

Did you book one of these yet? I am going to do some research and contact them. Thanks for the info :-)

He sent a reasonable quote and nice email. I do get a nice vibe from him. I'll check out his FB page. If I wait til March to see the pics and book him it will prob be too late and he could be booked up already. BUT still post yours please...I'll still want to see them :-) Thanks!

I"m going to print tags and tie with bows around bottles of Rum. The tags will have the guests name and seat number. And I'm using a package of simple table numbers to put on ea table. If I didn't go this route, my plan was to type out the table numbers and guests at each table and print an 11x14 poster size page from Staples. I'd then tack it on to a fabric covered piece of cardboard or put in a photo frame. Find your name....Take your seat.

I think it attached now. Let me know what you all think...is it too casual? I don't think I can walk on grass in a pair of heels without sinking into it.

Do i need to have 150 posts before I can add an attachment???

i'm trying to paste my wedge but for some reason it's not showing up.

I've just requested a quote from him. If anyone has pics to share please post. I'd love to see them.

Any suggestions for a great, yet affordable, strapless push up bra that isn't too high in the back?? I need more cleavage for my wedding dress. BUT, I'm an A cup and so this is posing quite a big problem. HELP!!

The Kettlebell swing (basically a squat and then swing the bell up to shoulder height) is a great full body move. There is lots you can do with the kettelbell. If you are in Canada, WInners usually sells them at a great price. Its 3 bells and DVD for $25 or less if it's on clearance.

I thread every 2-3wks. I dont have alot of thick brow hair but I love the look of fresh brows. I've recently started spacing it out to every 3 wks so that I can grow my brows a little thicker. Yes it does hurt but if you pull your skin tight enough it's not so bad. No worse than waxing, it just takes a minute or so longer. If they start to grow in b4 your wedding just bring a tweezer and pluck the few random strays out. but it shouldn't be too bad.

Here's a helpful (and quick) cardio workout you can do at home: 60 sec jumping jacks 20 crunches 60 sec up and down the stairs 15 pushups 10 burpees 30 lunges (alternating legs, 15 on ea) Put on your fave song and dance as hard as you can for 5 mins. Repeat everything starting from the top 3x No Excuses!! Enjoy!

My best advice is to: 1) Drink plenty water and only water - add lemon slice or drink it hot which helps to detox organs 2) Do some form of activity for minimum 30 mins day - walk, run, dance, climb stairs, workout video 3) Cut out/reduce sugar and anything white - bread, sugar, flour, rice etc 4) Don't stress about your weight. Or anything. it only leads to stress eating and will add to your problems.

Are most of you ladies having a hair trial with the salon at the destination where you are getting married? Are you doing your own hair? Or are you just going to say a prayer before hand and hope for the best? My hair is always an issue so I struggle with this one.

This is a very interesting thread. And so informative...makes me realize how little I know about getting pregnant and all of the circumstances that often accompany pregnancy. EEK!!

Can anyone reccommend a limo service company or car rental place in Montego Bay?? I'd like a vintage car but would settle for a regular limo, a BMW, heck...even a sport utility at this point. LOL.

Where were those flip flops purchased from that are posted in the gallery??

Looks good. I like the first vase the best. You could add sand, beads or crystals into the vase - Btw, Ikea sells sand for $1.77 ea and so does the Buck or Two store if you have that where you are. Another thing you could do is get that pearl like beading (in silver) that goes on xmas trees and sort of drape around the flowers and let it hang down. OR you could get those lighted stick branches and put a couple in each. You could even add another pink flower to it.

Ok so for those of you ordering items online and wanting to avoid the customs/shipping/duty charges. I jsut found out about a mailbox co in Buffalo, very close to teh border that will accept goods on your behalf and hold for pickup for a $5 flat fee. Over 70lbs is $10.95 per pkg. You can have everything shipped there and pickup all at once. I think that's a fabulous idea. The other day I tried to order supplies from the knot.com and was told sorry, we don't ship to canada. the price for parasols was like $5. The price i found here in canada was $15-$20 ea for the same thing. And today and all wknd many co's have free shipping for american Black friday sales.

My plan is to do a CD favor for everyone with a bunch of reggae love songs. I know CD's are overrated now but they can download and put on their ipods when they get home. I'm also doing a bottle of appleton rum with their name and table number for them to keep. We are also likely having an evening boat cruise with coctails after the rehearsal dinner for everyone to come on. That or a bbq bonfire. I wasn't planning on doing an OOT bag but am thinking ppl may want something to carry their treats in. So I am considering getting a Jute bag for easy carrying and then I'll hang it all in the bag on the chair. Doing a program for the ceremony that I got the paper/bow kit from Michaels. Was going to do a fan but my friend pointed out that they'll either use the fan or read the program. But not both. So figure if they want to fan themselves with the program, go ahaed...am I being cheap?? Lol!

Hi Ladies, Just wondering if any of you are planning any outings while in JA? I am considering both a group outing with all interested guests and also just something for me and my girls? But I'm clueless as to what? I wanted to do ziplining but some of my gf's are not into anything physical. LOL! THen i was considering Dunns River but many have already climbed it. Any interesting suggestions are very much appreciated. And the cost effective suggestions are even more appreciated! Lol. Thanks in advance.

I am thinking of making one or more wine bottle labels with our logo and 1st yr, 5yr, 10 yr and 20 yr anniversary. I'llbuy a black bottle of wine and have guests sign it with a silver pen. I may only do one bottle depending on whether i buy them at home or when I get there. Something different. I know I'll never look at the guest book again so why not be creative. I"ll definitely enjoy drinking the wine. LOL
