I designed the logo on Microsoft publisher. You could do the same thing on Word, just a bit more difficult.

Vistaprint sent me an email that the bags were Buy one get one. There's the $17 for $70 worth of product on right now at Groupon.com

I'm super pleased with the bags that I ordered from Vistaprint! I had a groupon $17 for $70 worth of product. They had also sent me a discount...I forget what it was exactly but I think it was BOGO. Anyways I ended up paying just under $3 per bag!

Still going strong! (It's only 5 days in) The cardio circuit was TOUGH! Going camping this weekend, I need to try and not let my eating get out of hand! When I get home I gotta get right back to it. Shalyaj great job! I hope I will stay strong and get the same results. Wedding in 6 months!!!

Just started Insanity yesterday! I'm a bit sore. After the fit test my muscles were tired and could definately notice it walking down the stairs. I hope I can stick to it! My fiance and I started it together. We got it in the mail last week and he kept making excuses of why we couldn't start it until yesterday. Oh well, we started it. I'm worried we won't complete it because summer is such a busy time for us! We both play sports 2 days a week, enjoy going to concerts, camping and doing a lot of other things. I guess we really have to focus on making time for it. It's less than 1 hour a day, right. Wish me luck!!

Our travel agent just called us a few days ago. Apparently there is a way to book the steakhouse. I guess a Carnival rep came into AAA. He gave my travel agent a number, he called it and wants us to pay him the money to arrange it. I don't know all the details, my fiance went to meet with him. I guess we just need to take him the money, he'll book it right then and it will be all set. The only problem...we don't know the exact number of people going yet (some people are still iffy about it). But I think we will book for what we think will come, hopefully that won't change. Probably an easy fix even if the number changes. Once I know more, I will let you know.

If you send me your e-mail, I could e-mail you the form Carnival sent me. It has the different packages they offer and music options. I'm a bit worried about the Steakhouse for such a large group of people. I'm just going to go right there as soon as I get on-board. If it doesn't work out, dinner in the dining room will have to do.

Since posting this question I have seen that sometimes couples will pick a spot on the ship for the "first look." For example - the grand staircase, somewhere on an upper deck, etc.

Did you ever look at the Cruise Critic Message board? There's a message board for Honeymoons & Weddings...it does have a bit of info. We're taking Carnival Conquest in November. I'm getting married while in port in St. Thomas. We decided to use an independent wedding planner on the island. We will get back on the ship a few hours before the ship leaves St. Thomas to have a reception on board. The reception is a 2 hour open bar with cake and music, snacks, etc. One of my friends will be coming with us to take pictures. She's not a professional or anything. It will just be nice to have her since she can take pictures of the entire day. They will also be giving us a Carnival photographer at the reception. I want to have the guests eat at the steakhouse onboard. We will pay for everyone's dinner. It will be about $35/pp. I can't book that ahead of time...that stinks! We will just have to go right to the steakhouse when we get onboard and book it.

Thanks for posting the free stuff link!!!!!

Congratulations! I love the picture of all 5 dresses. I can't wait to give them to my bridal party!

The Mr. didn't like this Lady Antebellum song. Everything is perfect about it! Anyways... I think we've decided on History In The Making by Darius Rucker.

Cute dress!!!!

Did you and your husband go with each other from the boat to the courthouse house and then to the ceremony? I'm just curious if he saw you before you came down the aisle? I'm also planning my wedding with Janelle...just wondering how you did this. Thanks!
