Omg!!!! That was a great way to catch up and condense the last 3 days. Lololol welcome back! Yes, Ms Jali and I are both apparently gluttons for punishment. We are both Dominicans having our wedding in DR. Lol. Fulana is a term they use as a casual way of saying " that lady so and so I can't really remember her name that lives down the block and is always up in our business" hahaha.

Buenos Dias So in case some of you were not aware. You can go on to American Airlines website and contact their group rates department for a 5% discount for your guests. It will actually say weddings . You fill out the form with all your info and after a coiple of days they send you a agreement. Your not legally bound to anything but the cool thing is after about 10 ppl book you can get a free ticket for yourself . They also send you inserts to put in your invitations with the discount code. Thought I'd share

Night night ladies. I have a long cr ride in 4 hours. So I'll be busy on here posting stuff

Keep it simple Dear guest Here's all your shit, now stop whining that you had to come to my DW. Hahahah Dude you guys are my stress release. We are going on a 5 hour car ride at 5 am to Ameila island near Jacksonville . FI has a seminar for the weekend. Ill be laying on beach while he hangs with the stuffy ties. He's so trapped. I have him for 5 hours in the car to get him to commit to wedding stuff. Wooohooooo. Lol. No sports to distract him either.

Now now rain. Back up slowly... Put away your cc and no more stuff for your oot bags. Hahahah Girl, u keep adding to it they're going to break when people lift them. Ill take everyone's leftovers for my wedding. :0)

I was still trying to find fancy smileys. Don't know what the heck this spoiler alert is. Lol

[spoiler=Warning: Spoiler!]

Maybe that's my upgrade After 1 million posts. Cooler Smileys. Lol

this is the extent of my smiley face

Yippee : Ordered my STD yesterday . Shutterfly already shipped them today. Just got the email. Holy crap, I'm getting married!!!!

And I'm finally caught up. Except for one more comment . Holy mother Jesus Rayn , can I have a oot bag too? I wanna sell it to flight attendants in case we are ever stuck on an island. Lolol. J/k

My parents don't get involved. Actually it would be nice if they got a little more involved. It's bad enough my girlfriends are pretending that " another one didn't bite the dust" . My dad makes little comments like " so how much is this shindig gonna cost" ? I know you wouldn't spend too much on something like a wedding. My mom? Aughhhh she's like" your not going to wear white right? I mean you Have been LIVING" with him. Smh! It's no wonder I have to pep myself to do this and that I drink. Lol My parents won't care who I invite . His dad on the other hand will probably want to invite all of Trinidad. He's very much a proper protocol type of person. Thankfully my FI will put him in check. I do have a bit of family in DR . I feel bad but am inviting some cousins and not others. Although when people tell me no I can't go , I'll have what we call the " 2nd cut list. Lol

It's all so much " tradition hoopla" I'm 34 he's going to be 40. Between the both of us we had so much home crap when we moved in together that we can supply a shelter . 2 of EVERYTHING . And because we aren't college age anymore it's all pretty nice stuff. So what the heck do I register for ? A bridal shower to get what? Nighties? Lol. I guess I prefer a jack and Jill one , but I dunno it seems almost insulting to ask my friends to buy me a gift a month before they're spending a couple grand to go to my wedding. Ohhhh and I do expect an envelope at my wedding. . How come my smileys suck compared to u guys?

I just had a 5 hour energy so forgive my run on sentences. I'm thinking faster than I can write

Speaking of engagement parties. I have a ???????? Is everyone having one or has had one already? Everyone keeps asking me. When's the engagement party ? and I keep thinking when the hell are you throwing me one. WTH? Did everyone pay for their own engagement party on top of the wedding? It seems one of my already married with 10 kids that I have to buy gifts for every Xmas and birthday should be volunteering. Heheheheh. Or am I off here? Who generally hosts this shindig ?

Rayn Every time u write definitely autocorrect writes it as Defiantly . Which I love because hell , I'm defiant as hell. Hahahaha

Lmaoooooo the seat! What the hell did I start? :confused:

I'm 34 so I feel u. I'm gonna be honest. Bon bons are not the problem. Lol I get home from work after a crap day of dealing with whiny passengers , their kids, the pilots, my crazy coworkers, delays, all I want to do is down a bottle of wine. Lol. They say a glass is good for you but I like big glasses. LmAo Now with this wedding stress (where the hell is all this money going to come from) I might move on to scotch

U wanna hear wrong ? I'm telling parents that although their children are welcome to come on vacation and stay at the resort. No kiddies under 16 can come to the reception. :eek: The restaurant is off property and only holds 100 ppl. So "Dona Fulana " will have to leave her kids at the resort or home. That's gonna go over really well. Lol
