Lua,

That's an awesome price for your trip.  Ours was 1100 for 4 nights for most of our guests at RIU Ocho.  Not "group" pricing though as people are traveling all different dates.  Who did you use for your TA?

I received my Umbra frame for our sand ceremony so I think I will work on getting that put tgether this week. I also found some small great orange and turquoise bottles to hold the sand which will add some pop of color to the table.  Found them at Hobby Lobby for 1.25 each last week and bought four of them.  One for each of us and one for both of my children.  This will really make them feel a part of the ceremony.  I think we will stick with neutral colored sands so that we don't tire of the bright colors years from now.

Pais

A vocês,

que nos deram a vida e nos ensinaram a vivê-la com dignidade,

não bastaria um obrigado.

A vocês,

que iluminaram os caminhos obscuros com afecto e dedicação

para que os trilhássemos sem medo e cheios de esperanças,

não bastaria um muito obrigado.

A vocês,

que se doaram inteiros e renunciaram aos seus sonhos,

para que, muitas vezes, pudéssemos realizar os nossos.

Pela longa espera e compreensão durante as nossas longas viagens,

não bastaria um muitíssimo obrigado.

A vocês,

pais por natureza, por opção e amor, não bastaria dizer,

que não temos palavras para agradecer tudo.

Mas é o que nos acontece agora, quando procuramos arduamente

uma forma verbal de exprimir uma emoção ímpar.

Uma emoção que jamais seria traduzida por palavras.

Amamos-vos muito!

Ana Paula e Nigel

Well this weekend i ordered my lanyards, bought the other half of my cake topper and found a minister to marry us before we go to mexico. Found out pricing for port a potties for my AHR lol fun stuff i tell ya!

Planning the AHR is alot and mine has become alot bigger than anticipated with about 140people coming yikes!!!

Going to Greece for two weeks three weeks after we get back from Mexico. I am totally pissed though cause my flight went down $150 per person and i keep forgetting to turn off the notification grrrrr!

Anyways, sound like everyone had a very productive weekend. Oh and I booked my teeth whitening for March 5th!

I got the clear ones from discount mugs

If you buy them blank and 25 it makes them each under 3 dollars...

 

I just found these adorable ones on Etsy that I want to buy now for my bridesmaids and mothers for 10 each..I think Im gonna get them..

Im getting these with bridesmaid on one side and their name on the other along with either polka dots or flowers

 

 Then last night I also found adorable bride and groom ones from advantage bridal for 10 each as well... geez I need to stop shopping cause I just keep buying more and more extra things! Ugh!

We're supposed to have our AHR this summer, but I haven't even started looking! All I've done is the guest list, over 100 people! The AHR is going to be more money and work than DW!

 

Kathy, where did you get the mugs? I'm considering adding them, but not fond of spending more than $3 per person.

 

Lisa, why don't you ask the airline to change your reservation? They might only charge $50 per person to change it.

[KathyW]

Lisa, great job on getting more things checked off the list! You definitely have a lot to do with the DW and planning a big AHR..I wish we could afford to have one but we are spending every dollar we have and then some on our wedding/ and honeymoon so no AHR for us

 

Brandy I am a cruise fanantic! My FI and I go on one atleast once a year, sometimes twice! It is our favorite way to travel! The longest one we have been on is a week so doing this 2 wk one will be amazing! We are going to be at sea for almost a wk before getting to the islands so we are going to work on that baby making project! hehe So excited! We actually looked at the one youre doing because I really want to see the southern islands. We have done a lot of Carribean ones also! Love them!!!

 

 

Laura so excited that your dress is coming along! I hope that once mine is all done and altered I will be happier with it... Im having the train shortened right now because I didnt like the bustle style..so fingers crossed that I made a good decision!

[KathyW]

Teira that is so funny we are litterally like 15 mins away from each other.. .lol I live in Vancouver but work in Portland.. I hate this weather, it feels like spring! I want snow!!! Im so jealous of all the girls on here who are getting blasted with snow!!! That is my favorite part about winter yet we rarely get to see it here.. so sad!!! Maybe you other girls can send us some this way please?? lol

[KathyW]

Hanna,

Thats so awesome to see someone else is getting married on a wednesday! What made you pick April 6th? We chose it because its our 6 yr annaversary of when we first met! Hope you will stay on this site with us so we can count down together hehe good luck with everything!!!

[KathyW]

Well Im glad to see that Im not the only outta control spender! I have 3 days off too and Ive been on this computer all dang day shopping for wedding stuff! I need to stop but I dont have much self control! lol

I've decided that it's a really bad thing for my checking account for me to stay home sick!  I went on the hunt for new shoes for the BM in the wedding and found a pair....but then continue to shop for myself and I've found a 4th pair of sandals I NEED to have and another pair of sneakers!  My mom said that my defense with FI needs to be, "things could be worse, I could be addicted to drugs instead of shoes!"  Gotta love mom!!

 

[Ellabaja1983]

I would gladly send both of you some!  Between Tuesday night/Wednesday morning they are saying 8-18 inches... we'll have plenty I think!
