I agree with the others, the past few weeks have been frustrating, but the last few days have been pretty good, so I'm hoping it will get me back on track, and yes when flow visits I feel like I've gained 10 pounds and my weight loss efforts are pointless!

I put and guest on all of my invitations, unless of course the person was married or in a long relationship. I feel the same as some of the others, if someones going to travel to mexico they can bring whoever they want and I wouldn't want people to not want to come because they were going to have to travel by themselves and not have someone to hang out with when they were down there. We know a lot of people we invited won't come, so we're not really worried about it.

Okay, so where did you get the directions to do this, I might attempt it because I want a longer veil than the one my sister gave me. and I like the ribbon at the bottom look too. I guess it won't be that expensive to try it and see how it works out

I'm not an expert at all, lol, but we are trying to save money wherever we can as well. So I think we will probably just put something in the OOT bags to let people know where we'll be and what time and if they'd like to meet up with us they can. We are staying at an AI so, if we just go to one of the restaurants there, they're not going to have to pay for their own food or anything. We will be having a small group around 20. I think if you don't have it in your budget, its not necessary, but it is a nice thing to do if you can afford it. We were thinking of doing some type of group excursion or something and we will probably pay for that, but we can't do both. hope this helps!

Melissa it looks GREAT, I love it! You should feel very proud of yourself, I never could have done that!

I'll start saving!

christine, this would be a good excuse for all of us to stock up on wine and mail you our corks!

I used to like the cindy workout too, but I don't remember which one I had, I think the red one piece one. I should get it, speaking of which, I've got to get off here for a few minutes to that I can get on the treadmill!

I'm still wondering about the sunset thing too, because is 621 when the sun is actually completely gone, or is that when it starts to go down, its really confusing! either way I don't want to wait to have my ceremony later, so we'll just deal with it, we're not having a lot of people anyway, so whatever happens, happens.

we're getting married on friday, we will have saturday with our guests and most people are leaving on sunday, we are also leaving to go to a different resort on sunday for our honeymoon. Like tammy said, once the wedding is over, we want alone time, it will be nice to have one day with them and then be on our own.

I really want to do this too Christine and I don't even know if I own any lingerie, I'll definetly have to go shopping!!

I'm having my ceremony at 4, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out okay for pictures!

Those boxes look perfect, what cute salt & pepper shakers!! I think rafia or ribbon would be perfect!

okay, where is everyone today! I did 45 minutes on the treadmill tonight, whew it was a tough day for exercise, but I'm glad its done, I don't know if I'll be able to walk tomorrow, hahaha!

you're not dense! I think it takes everyone awhile and still sometimes you'll see something you don't know. It means Fiancee, but heres a link to some common abbreviations that might help http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...=abbreviations

don't worry toby, I'm getting married in October and so far all I have is a place and a photographer, hopefully soon I'll have a dress if I can ever make up my damn mind!

Tammy, I wanted to do the dolphins in cancun, but I love dolphins and don't want to do it if they're going to be really sad looking or if they're not taken care of. Do you remember which place you did it? Also, I don't know if anyone knows this yet, but supposedly in April? Dreams cancun is getting dolphins and going to have their own swim with the dolphins program, I just noticed it on their website the other day.

Welcome! I don't know anything about DR, because I'm getting married in Mexico, but I know a lot of us are getting legally married before we leave (courthouse) and then just having a symbolic ceremony, because its such a hassle to get legally married in mexico and more money. Just a thought! Let us know if you need any help!

oooh, melissa thats really cool too!! you guys are going to make me spend toooooooo much money, lol!! ok new rule, when you post something you're buying or have bought you have to say where its from, for the rest of us who have no idea what they want!
