TammyB

Welcome, hope to hear more about your plans.

Well I'm going to try to work out at home today. I have to pick up the brats (aka dogs) from daycare right after work.

MY BIL's mother is worse then my sister so I'm sure he doens't see a problem with it. I sent Cain that picture and he doesn't like it because he thinks we'll loose light in the room. OMG I'm going to kill him..

No my sister is older, by 4 years. And I wouldn't be surprised if her DH had to ask her before he went pee.. lol

Have you checked with the resort to see if it was ok? Also you might want to think about what a PITA it could be traveling all over the place on your wedding day.

You should listen to her. I'm only going to have 10 people at our wedding, in fact non of my family will be going for a ton of different reasons. Yes I'm alittle bummed but I would be happy getting married at our location even if it was just Cain and I.

Hmmm that does seem odd to me that they won't let you book your resort now. I would however book your photographer now, as the good ones book really fast. Did the WC say how soon you can book the resort for your reception?

Hmmm don't think Cain has the "handy man" skills to do this.. Hmm which would mean I would either have to hire someone or ask my BIL, and I don't think my sister would let him (she's a control freak and gives him things to do around her house)

Welcome to the forum. With any DW there will be some people who will try to make you feel guilty about not having it locally. But at the end of the day it's what's important to you and your FI. Just try to remember that.

OK ladies, what do you think about if I extend the fireplace up to the ceiling.. Something like this photo..

No clue, could be my program..

Here's Jackie's picture. Really cute BTW.. :-) (Jackie the size of the picture was still a little big so I had to size it down more, just an fyi)

I also have a few pictures of the Sheraton from our site visit (course there are better ones on Trip advisor) Also are you thinking about having your ceremony there as well, and if so do you want a beach, garden or chapel ceremony?

ROFL... Sherri..

Yeah. Why don't you email me your photo and I'll post it for you.. (if you can't get it to work) [email protected]

Jackie, congrats... you have been a great mod for the RM forum..

Jackie load the picture of the DW shared photo site. I'm having a bad day and can't remember what it's called. Then just link it to this thread.

Hey that's a good idea, it's about time you put good use out of that camera.. lol

ROFL.. That is so funny. I would have told him he has to buy you double the presents now.. lol... So did you get your Ice coffee this morning as well?

Hey girl.. "Happy birthday day to you, happy birthday day to you, happy birrrrrthday Jackie, Happy birthday to you.. SO what are you big plans, did you enjoy your song? (yeah that was suppose to be me singing,,, trust me it's better you read it versus actually hearing it)

Who is Larry Ellison, is he a HID?

You are a "Centric-Venturer Traveler". You fit between Venturers and Authentics but with a leaning towards the Venturer side. Three out of ten travelers (30%) place in your group, making you one of the largest segments of travelers. You have a broad interest in travel and are more flexible and adaptable than both Authentics and Venturers, with a willingness to sample new destinations. Unlike Venturers, you prefer at least a modest selection of good hotels before you visit an area. You also favor destinations where you're sure to find food that can be trusted and an efficient transportation system. But, when over-commercialization sets in, signified by many souvenir shops, the intrusion of fast food outlets, and the diesel smell from too many tourist buses, you will move on. The great capitals of Europe have long been favorites, but some of these now seem overcrowded and far too expensive. Therefore, when you go to Europe you might visit smaller towns and enjoy leisurely drives through the countryside. And, when you go into villages, you particularly enjoy staying at quaint inns in contrast to well-known hotels. Your interest in a diverse set of destinations means you could enjoy a cruise in the Greek Isles, a car trip through gold mining ghost towns in California, or a shopping spree in New York City equally well. You will probably return to a place that you particularly like every two to four years, interspersing other new destinations in between. In some respects, you can have the most satisfying travel experiences because of your ability to absorb, and like, such different types of places. If you follow the typical pattern for your personality, you travel both independently (probably with a spouse or a friend) and occasionally take a fully escorted tour. This might include international tours and domestic to see New England's fall colors, a visit to Southern mansions, or follow historic routes as part of a tour group. Depending upon your age, the Elderhostel program is largely made up of your type. While you don't enjoy large cruise ships, you've decided that smaller cruises are more interesting than you ever thought. You especially like the fact that cruises are easy and comfortable ways to explore new places because your hotel room goes with you wherever you are and you don't have to pack and unpack every day. You don't mind flying, but you're also content to drive to your destination. And unlike many of those towards the authentic end of the scale, you sometimes fly to your destination and then rent a car so you can explore on your own. You also mix up the kinds of lodging that you use. On the same trip you might stay at a three or four star hotel, an economy/budget motel, and a B&B. MEDIA HABITS: You enjoy quite a few shows on TV, read an occasional book, and some of the popular magazines. SHOPPING: You don't like paying more for anything than you have to, so while you might be interested in newfangled technological gadgets, you won't actually purchase them until they have proven themselves in the marketplace and their prices have dropped. In general, you stick to popular brands, believing that they've earned their prominence in the marketplace on their quality and reliability. SPORTS: You participate in sports such as golf, tennis, or basketball in your spare time and when you travel you enjoy leisurely hikes and bike rides. Suggested trips: DOMESTIC Take a tour of the national parks in the U.S., especially by driving to these destinations. Stay at Hana Maui resort on the remote west coast of Maui. Check into a full-service spa in Arizona or New Mexico. Take a small, more personally guided tour of Southern plantation homes. Fly to San Francisco, rent a car and tour Redwood National Park, the Wine Country, and the small towns north of the Bay Area. ABROAD Take a SeaDream Yacht Club cruise from Alexandria, Egypt, to Piraeus, Greece. Rent a car and drive around Sicily. Check into the beachfront Canouan Island resort in the Grenadines. Sightsee in Bangkok, Istanbul, or Shanghai. Hike in New Zealand. Visit the souks, bazaars, and mosques of Cairo. Hideout at a luxury resort in the Seychelles. Sightsee in Tokyo and nearby towns. Book a walking safari in Zambia. Take a historical tour of St. Petersburg and Moscow. Snorkel in Fiji. Take a historical tour of Pompeii. Explore the ruins on Angkor Wat with a private guide. Attend a music festival in Salzburg. Take the family to an all-inclusive resort in Costa Rica.

I don't expect people paying to come to the DW to give gifts and I don't expect people coming to the reception to give gifts because technically they weren't really invited to the 'wedding'. My FI still thinks we should register for some gifts. Doesn't that just seem rude? I think that the people who will not be attending the wedding "might" want to get you something. SO you can Un-offically register for stuff. Or tell your parents or MOH to tell people some things you mentioned to them that you need. We told a couple people that if they are asked what to get us to either give us cash or a gift card to Home depot. Or send us a check to the rescue group we volunteer with.

Jackie.. ROFL..

Kash you should have them do your place.. besides if you don't like it they can come back and redo it. :-) If I can't be on the show, one of our DW brides should be.. :-)
