From this pic it looks like they have about 40 chairs set up. It does look a little crowded tho... Did you go stand all the way out on the jetty?? I wanna do that when I go in December

My best friend's 30th bday is coming up this Saturday. She has really been on the "Getting Healthy" bandwagon lately so I want to support that and make her a gift basket with this theme in mind. So far, this is what I've got: 1) Book - "The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth" 2) CD - KT Tungstall (sp?) 3) Bottle of Coppola Merlot (she likes this wine) 4) ? I was thinking of getting her a gift cert. to this yoga studio nearby 'cause I know she's been wanting to get into that but A) It's "hot" yoga and I'm not sure what kind of yoga she wants to do She wants someone to do it with and I don't know when I'll be well enough yet C) I didn't realize yoga was so expensive! lol My other idea was to give her $50 and let her do with it what she wants because she's been struggling with money lately. I want every gift to have meaning tho and I'm not sure if that would... Ideas? P.S. She's not really into bath stuff so that's out...

That's great to hear that you saw it and still want to book there! That means it must be fabulous Hmm, only 20 ppl on the jetty huh? I wonder what I would do if we had more guests, say 30-40...?

Yikes Christa! Sorry to hear you're going through all this crap. I completely agree with you on the random drug testing. They should have let you know beforehand.

OH yeah Edna, I assume you got to meet with Marco - what were your impressions of him? Also, any idea of how many people would fit out on the jetty (ceremony area)? Thanks!

Looks beautiful!

Haha, check out this pic I just found. It was when Martin and I first met - we hadn't even kissed yet! I was trying to get him drunk that night - LOL I'm the naughty Catholic School Girl and he's a Valet (he had just gotten off from work, lol).

Looks like fun! Her dress looks beautiful too! I just loooove the mountainous backdrop of PV. Ahhhhh.....

YAY Edna, thank you so much!!! This has been a great day so far - first I woke up to Rachelle's thread about her friend's PV wedding and now this! I also want to know if you decided where to have the wedding?? Glad to have you back also

What a great thread to wake up to! I'm so glad everything went well. Monica got married at Dreams, right? I can't WAIT to see the pics!!! ~ Jaime

Everything looks great Susan! I can't believe your wedding is almost here!!! Best of luck to you!

I can't believe I missed this!!!!

Sounds like fun, enjoy it!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZ!!!!

Beautiful!!!

Like someone else said I think it can feel intimidating. It's kinda like when you go to a new school and everyone is already friends - you feel left out for awhile until you get used to things. Also, some people may just be more interested in searching the forums for info rather than joining in on a personal level...? I think it's great that so many new people are joining - the more ideas the better! I always get excited to see new members who are either A) From Dallas or Planning to get married/have been married at the location I'm looking at. Good topic Christine - you're such a sweetheart

I rarely wear lipstick but when I do I like "Dior Addict Ultra Shine 612"

Edna, I am so sorry to hear that. Grandmas are wonderful people and they teach us so much. May her memory live on through you.

I am so sorry Shelly, I know that must come as such a shock to your system to hear those words. Like the other girls said, there is so much out there in the world of fertility so hang in there! Hopefully you can get some better answers before your wedding because I know that would be so hard to deal with. Regardless, it sounds like you are with an absolutely amazing and supportive man and you are such a beautiful, caring woman - so that's something to celebrate!!! You two make a wonderful couple and if it's meant to be I know you guys will have an adorable little one running around in your future... Hang in there, we're all behind you!

I made a mistake when titling this post... I meant to say Prisar vs. Incredible Weddings & Events. For some reason I get them and DD confused. Soooo if anyone has feedback on Incredible Weddings and Events I'd love to hear that.
