DreaW

so I just sent a letter by email telling everyone that knows about Friday the details.... well I didn't send the letter to FSIL because I sent the letter to erik's brother who I figured would communicate to his wife about the details... Well... I just got a call from my FFIL and he told me that I had to send her the letter, I told him, "Well I thought FBIL would relay the message to her" he said, "I still think you should send it to her so she knows....because you sent it to me and my wife...." Oh brother....Mind you FPIL LOVE FSIL....i don't like her much.... sorry for highjacking lol

I posted this email to family and friends that are going to civil ceremony on friday.... (We sent this to the people who asked to come on Friday, a lot of people don't know....) hi everyone, So this Friday, July 20th at Santa Ana Courthouse, Erik and I will be doing the civil ceremony and paper work......(we will not be exchanging wedding rings or vows or wedding dress and attire at this time. We will be doing that on the wedding ceremony in Cabo). We would like you to join us if you can.....if you can't make it to courthouse we totally understand (also the courthouse, I heard is pretty small)...you can meet us for dinner to do a mini celebration.

We were not going to tell but we ended up telling my parents (who said they have to be there and it's really the day we are getting married) and E's parents. Well then word got around that we are doing it on Friday, so now we have a couple of people coming with us that are not going to the wedding in Cabo.... a couple talking about 10 or so, and then we are having a mini dinner celebration. It will be fun, Erik didn't think it was a good idea at first and said I was planning two weddings...but hey we have friends and family they really wanted to be there to celebrate with us....

Laura I love you photos...I'm glad everything went well...Congratulations

all I have to say is wow!

Congratulations Laura, and I wish I had enough energy right now to go to the gym...LOL Can't wait to see your pics.

Congratulations Karen and Jason , love the pics you looked beautiful.

I love this, I think I'll tell Erik to do this with our video and photos... We are doing 3 hours of RAW video and 3 hours of photos... Erik is a wiz at the mac computer....HMMMMMMMM>>>>

no bounds stepped on ....no hurt feelings...your right Kelly

He may see that as you are not being respectful of the time he needs to process the most important decision he will ever make. Now if you really think he won't care, then go for it, as long as you don't think you will become a multiple dress bride. The price is great, and maybe your fi knowing that you can get married on a budget may actually help! I think you should feel him out on the idea first, then make a decision based on his reaction. Couldn't she buy it and keep it at someones house or something.... That's what I was thinking.... Catherine, if you're going to get in a fight with your fi about it and know you might will then I would wait...Kelly and Jaime are right, there will be other dresses the same price down the road.... I just contradicted (sp?) myself right now LOL

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO....I'm not saying that...I'm saying ....Oh I don't know what I'm saying but I'm not saying that at all.... OMG I just put myself in a big hole.... I'm sorry Cathrine.... ignore my comment..

hmmmm good question catherine.... I would say get it but get it in a bigger size then you are right now, so when he does ask you, you would already have the dress and all you would have to do is alter it. That's what I would do especially if the dress is $99 right now.

Kelly, you guys all look so cute....I want to see a pic of you and all your kids I totally thought you looked different in my mind...I'm so happy we have a pic of you Beautiful

so here are what my favors will look like....please ignore what I look like...took this pick this morning when I was still in bed, no makeup, hadn't taken a shower.....Sorry.... LOL My mom and I bought the cases in PV and inside is a shell necklace for the women.... My mom then wrapped and decorated it herself The men will get a bag with two Nicaraguan Cigars in them.... Of course I will show pics later. drea

Leigh...here is their website and a map..... Grupo Bahia Condo Hotel Cabo San Lucas Map on the map Bahia Condos is next to number 29, next to Marina Sol Resorts.... It's up the hill from The Office.... Centrally located to everything....Can walk to downtown. p.s on the map its called Hotel Bahia

if you stay in Cabo, Bahia Condos is a nice hotel and inexpensive especially in that month....it is very safe and has a safe...lol Erik and I always stay there in Cabo.....We like it because we take with us all our diving equipment (which is very expensive) and nothing happens to them.... I recommend this place Drea

I think if anyone wants to pursue this, they should expect a minimum of 2.5 weeks from the time the order is placed to the time they have them in hand. (which is 1 week for shipping to the person who will turn around and mail them out. Then another week to go from that person into your hands.) Well.... that's cutting it really really close...so no pash's for me... Thank you though

I'm calling him tomorrow....Erik wants a car to drive up to La Paz....

Maria....if you can do this before the 22nd then I would love to join in....if not no big deal... I don't need the pash's.... Thank you both Glenda and Maria..... I luv you ladies
