Congratulations Sarah! I'm so glad you had the perfect day! I can't believe we have to wait for pictures, aghhh its killing me!

I'll have to think this through a little bit!

Claudia is going to kill me, lol! I just sent back my Q&A thing, I've been putting it off, but thought I better send it back before she gives away my date! So along with that I made a list of 19 questions I had,hahaha! Most of them were related to things included in the package or how I wanted things to go on the day of, etc... Anyway, I'll post her responses once I get them because some of you may have the same questions. Hopefully, my response will come quicker than 3 weeks!

I'm sorry Lisa, I'm kind of worried about the same thing. I was actually just thinking about my invites sitting in their box and I'm hoping that the ink isn't rubbing on the back of each invite, I'm going to be so mad if they did!

A lot of the newer artists and songs are really good and fun, but there are a lot of tear jerkers too!

I had 4 out, I only had a problem with one, I had a dry socket. The dry socket was excruciating, especially since I had to go to work during the day and couldn't take the pain meds because they made me tired, so I'd have to spend 8 hours at work, on the phone all day, in excrutiating pain. I don't even know what I did wrong! I followed all the damn instructions. Other than that, no problems. Don't worry you'll be fine.

Melissa, I'm thinking of ordering the same table runners you had, but in fuschia, I just have a question. Did you have a long table or round tables and how did you use the runners? I guess I'm just trying to figure out how many I should buy. I guess I just can't figure it out in my head, any advice?

Wow Tammy! What a story! Now I feel like I should go today and take care of my damn passport just so I don't have to worry about it!

Anny those are so cute! You have so many good ideas!

I did my turbo sculpt video, my arms and legs were shaking when I was done, I'm going to be so sore tomorrow. I'm going to try to take one of the dogs out for a walk later, for a little more exercise. Good Job everyone! Sarah I can't believe you leave so soon!

From reading comments on Amazon it seems that this is a big scandal as it was left off, but it can be found on the artist's album. His name is Israel "Iz" Kamamawiwo'ole and apparantly it is a medley of sotr and what a wonderful world. I know I looked for it on itunes and its not on the soundtrack. But I did find the version, I want to used that song, its perfect for a beach wedding, I just need to decide where I want to use it.

oh another option, if you didn't want to use the tiffany blue would be fuschia & a bright orange, and white, I think that would look really bright and tropical.

I'm not wearing white either, but still using white as my neutral color

one song I've been considering for awhile is Edelweiss, for those of you that don't know its a song from the Sound of Music. I used to love this movie when I was little and my dad would always sing the songs, so the song reminds me a lot of him and its a pretty song.

I loved her first is a great song, I'm soooo gonna cry when I dance with my dad and I don't want to! I'll ruin my makeup! But I haven't decided on a song yet, there are a lot that I think would be appropriate.

Quote: Originally Posted by soulmates Okay, I was bad this morning. I couldn't pull my lazy a** out of the bed, so therefore I didn't do crap this morning. But I did bring my clothes to go for a running during lunch. Don't worry the day isn't over you can still get your workout in, its a beautiful day for a run! I slept horrible last night so I was very surprised that I actually got up! Quote: Originally Posted by BEACHBRIDEMA Girls I am exhausted and my body aches. I have been really pushing myself these last couple of weeks and now I am paying for it. I think I might take a couple days off, I just feel so tired and run down Sarah sarah, don't get run down before your wedding! Maybe just take it easy for a few days, go for a nice long walk or maybe go swimming, so you'll still get yoru workout in, but it won't be as hard on your body.

I'm so happy i can finally post here again! I got my butt out of bed this morning and did my turbojam workout and I'm back on the ww wagon too, I only have 5 months to go, I've got to get moving!

I'm also doing a fuschia color, I thought about doing tiffany blue as well, but I go back and work between these two colors together, or just the fuschia and white, I can't make up my mind. I agree with the others though, I think all three of those colors is too much.

laura what a b*tch! I think I would have gone off on her! So what, if you want one of those expensive dresses you have to buy it before you try it, you can't touch it, ha, what a joke!

Congrats Sarah! I'm so excited to hear about your wedding!

Congrats Karla! Hope you had a fabulous day!

Courtney I really like #1, but I love #2, I love the sash, the lace, and the bottom, but only you know which one is "the one", can you post pictures of the dress on the model so we can get a better idea on all 3?

Laura its gorgeous! I'm so happy you found "the one"! Can't wait to see you in it!

Our ceremony is at 4 as well, the cocktail hour is from 5-6 and reception is 6-10 and there is no extra charges. The international bar is open for only 3 hours of the reception and then it is $10 per person per extra hour for the bar only. You have to keep in mind that they do normally close the bar down during dinner (which takes about an hour) and only table serve wine. But the actual reception site is ours till 10, which to me is long enough...if we are all still in the mood to party we can do so on the resort (and off my dime!!). So I don't htink you have to worry about being kicked out or anything like that... whew...this was a doozy! See she didn't give me the time breakdown yet, I was just thinking about what I wanted, I wonder if you can tell her if you want more time in between things. Yes, the $10 pp extra charge was what we heard about, I guess it won't really be too bad and I think 10 is late enough as well, we can go somewhere else and hang out.

Dreams wedding with a ceremony at 4, then off to El Dorado Royale for our honeymoons! I can't wait till you get married to hear how it all went!! That way I can use you for all the best info!! I'll be sure to let you know how everything goes! I can't wait, I just want it to get here! Quote: Originally Posted by YauLau My contract said 5-ceremony, 5:30-6:30 cocktail hour, and 6:30-9:30 reception. Isn't it a big rush with the ceremony being half an hour only. I think Claudia at Dreams intend to only have one event after another directly. There's no downtime like 1/2 hr in between or anything. That seems really rushed, I would see if she can change it. I want to get some group pictures done before cocktail hour starts so I want at least an hour between the ceremony start and cocktail hour start.
