I truly got EVERYTHING- webcast, hours of DVD- i haven't even watched it all yet just the reception and it is hilarious, tons of beautiful pictures and these amazing, gorgeous picture books not to mention in addition to the beautiful black & white 8X10's and the color photos I also got a cd with every photo he took. I could not be happier!! Now if I could just stop looking at them lol.

Girl, I told Shane they may kick us out of wherever we are since we are always cracking up about something!  Can't wait.  You guys will have to plan where we are staying/doing in the City.  Can't wait.  The true countdown has begun... YAY!!!

WOW!!!  Everything looks amazing!  I am loving seeing more of your pix!!!  you looked so beautiful!

 

BTW-I e-mailed Katie and she actually sent me a picture of your reception set up!  I loved the bamboo lanterns and the candle steps and I recognized the pic right away (from your pix)    So, thank you for the inspiration!!

Thanks for all the kind words

 

My biggest problem has just been that this has been a long time coming with a lot of people and I just need to deal since I haven't dealt with it up until now!

 

I am totally thrilled our families are coming and I am sure I will not think twice about those "friends".  It goes deeper than these people not coming to our wedding, it's about what kind of friendship we have anymore, period.

 

Thanks for the love and support!!!

aww, that is so sweet, I feel the same!! You know what's funny Coco and Diane, I am always telling my kids about meeting people on the internet and how dangerous it could be, but just look at us!! LMAO.  Even my hubby was like, "what you are meting friends on the internet? how weird is that" lmao!!!

Thank you, my email is [email protected]

My dear love,

 

Have you ever heard that friends are for a "season, a reason, or a lifetime"  Well, only you & them can define where they fall, however; it looks as if they did a pretty good job of this on their own.  Keep your heart light and pure as it seems by way of this forum and our emails that it is.  People, themselves have a very good way of defining WHO they are, and where they want to be in your life.  I have 2 sayings that I tell my staff (all 35 of the buggers so I say it often) 1 "I don't let anyone live in my head rent free"  translation if you aren't paying me money to occupy my precious time for some BS then I don't want to hear nor will I hold onto the drama.  2nd "it is what it is"  translation as much as we want to have control over many, as much as we plan for things to go right, it every well may not. 

 

In the sentiments of Chelsea XOXO :-)

Well ladies,

 

This time next month, we will be gearing up to have our Welcome dinner on the Arrecifies Terrace, just after getting over our hangover from the CunCrawl the night before.    So as I had 3 packages waiting for me upon my return home, I wanted to share 2 of those with you (don't worry the 3rd is for my son and I am sure that you have no need to see his tennis shoes aka sneakers.)

 

Here are our towels from http://www.towels4less.com aka http://www.cottonfruit.com  we purchased the 30x60 Terry Velour Beach towels.  The colors on their website are quite vibrant and rich however; in person they are not the same.  Hell with the resolution, I used several computers to compare prior to purchasing.  Nevertheless, for our purpose (OOT bags) for 64 people they are quite fine.  If I had a smaller group of 15-20 and I wanted to do monogram towels, I would definitely shop at Kohl's, Macy's (on sale) and then find a local vendor to monogram for the thickness of it all. However; again for a large group these towels are perfect and long.  Customer Service was awesome, I worked with Dita and they send you updates on everything.  The turnaround on these with embroidery from start to finish of your approval and payment is about a month or so. 

 

The blue are for the guys of course ;-) 

 

 

 

Also, I ordered candy from http://www.oldtimecandy.com they are great. You can order things in bulk or by piece.  I pretty much save my "empty" calories for alcohol however; I have a weakness or Now n Later's and Swedish fish and FI loves Bazooka's, Razzles, and Blow pops haha.. I love me some him, he's so sweet.  So, that is what I ordered along with some Mary Jane's for my old old school guest and the assorted tootsie rolls.  We are not doing a candy bar, however; we wanted our guest to have something sweet with them just because.  For those that are doing an all out candy bar and need to seriously by in bulk or want to shop by color check out http://www.acandystore.com or http://www.candyfavorites.com (I never purchased from them so I can not rate them.)

 

 

I also purchased ring pops which is an Ode to my Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring (I love colored bling) but didn't know if it was going to be Blue or Pink (I'm an AKA) so you know I have to rock my Pink & Green ;-)  

 

 

 

Sorry to hog but I pretty much won't do a pre-planning thread and just do an looooonnnggg review.  Last but not least (previous purchased received last week) our welcome & cocktail napkins.  Our welcome napkins fit with our "pop of color" posted in the thread a ways back.  Our cocktail napkin is all about my color (Pink, Fuchsia) and my FI's color Blue is all about the reception.  TEAM WORK

 

Welcome Napkin

So, Coco, if only we would have met a little earlier, I soo would have went to your wedding, so that I can see all the fabulosity in person!! I know your guests are going to absolutely love, love, love all that you have done for them so that they enjoy their time away!! I'm so happy for you, & can't wait to see pictures & hear how it was ( even though I already know). Put me picture on an empty seat, lol!! I hear you about the towels. Since I'm only having 19 people, I bought towels for the OOT bags from target. They are very thick & long. I won't miss you on here, cuz I will talk to you everyday until you leave anyway!! Until later girlfriend!!
