Nay. We've decided not to have one. We are embracing the unconventional opportunities with a DW. Although when I told my sister we weren't having a bridal party but if we had to pick just one I would pick her... She almost cried. That made me want to! Lol. But we're sticking to the plan.

That definitely hasn't happened. I have gotten quotes/recommendations from three. Then specific resort group rates from two. I'm about to make my choice so that will be the end of the line. It just sucks because they are both nice. Can't use them both though. Thanks lady, I was kinda doubting that I included so many songs. I'm glad even one person enjoyed listening!

I'm not usually a brand name person. But I too love Fossil. I find their wallets and bracelets have a tendency to fall apart. But my purse is of such a high quality. I love it.

Ya, I just got off the phone with my mother and she told me it's "the name of the game" when I said I felt bad about the TAs. I have a bleeding heart though, I generally always care what people feel. Regardless, I think I'm very close to the decision. I intend to try to get an answer out of him tomorrow when we come home from the bar after St P's. I'll let you know how it goes! I will of course re-confirm when he's sober.

So I missed page 3 entirely I think where you guys all had an exchange about the colour orange! I've pretty much committed to that colour. I'm debating the other colours, but I know my bouquet will be orange and white. EDIT: It's impossible to post pictures from my work computer, it's funky with message boards.

So I'm having the opposite problem that most people have with Travel Agents. I heard how it was hard to get a good TA so I messaged quite a few. Some did indeed bomb. But now I had 2-3 who are just the sweetest thing, and I feel like such a tire kicker knowing that I have to say no to two of them eventually.

Every time I post in this thread I feel like a gate crasher. So I'll mention that my quote for Hard Rock was $2000. @@TinkerSofi I stayed at the Majestic Colonial as well, it was great. My friend was married there, small party - 13. I don't want to copycat though. Those quotes are all for September 2015 however, and we're not ready to move that fast. We want our guests to have time to save and plan.

I'm personally just wondering because I don't remember a lot of seaweed in past visits and I'm seeing these comments in a lot of reviews as severe as saying not many people were swimming in the ocean. It is a factor for me yes, when deciding between Jamaica, Mexico and Dominican. A game changer? Probably not, but a factor. I'm asking my guests to enjoy their vacation at a place I select. So I want to ensure that I do the best I can picking the spot. That takes in to consideration the pools, the beach, the food, the price.

JoannaBanana replied to lornj29's topic in Wedding Flowers, decoration, cake, etc.
Here I am (a while back) in a Mexican Walmart!

I don't really know how Walmart operates for ordering online for pickup at a particular store. But I do know there's lots of Walmarts in Mexico. I'm sure you could buy what you need down there if you aren't overly particular (work with what you find).- 32 replies

Why Do People Discourage Other People?
JoannaBanana replied to DebbieSmith's topic in Beauty, Exercise, Diet
I had someone tell me I was losing too much weight twice today, because once wasn't enough. I'm not even a healthy BMI yet. They said I'm doing it "too fast." Well I disagree. I used to eat whatever I want whenever I want, and now I eat closer to normal. Slow and steady. It makes a difference. I get that I look "different" now, but I don't think it looks bad, or that I'm doing it in an unhealthy way. Man, people just have to throw shade. -
I've been to Mexico maybe five times, specifically Grand Oasis 4x. I've been okay4/5x and had been careful each round. I honestly dont know what happened differently the one time where I got sick. I do have to say - it was unpleasant. I wanted to throw up, or go to the bathroom but neither was happening. Just terrible stomach twisting cramps all night long. Once you've experienced it once you become extra wary. That was my second visit though and clearly didn't stop me from going back.
