i was thinking maybe i was light on the quanitites - we have about half heavy drinkers and half people who don't really drink at all so i thought maybe that would balance out. do you think i should go heavier on wine or beer? and if i add the signature drink, can i keep the wine and beer where it is? thanks!

that is a very pretty dress! who makes it?

We are having our reception on a lawn at the Beach. we are going to do a Laua Buffett with lanterns, tiki torches and mini lights. have not decided on music. this particular resort is not legally allowed to sell alcohol on the beach due to some particular hawiian code viloation. this means that FI and I can provide all of the liquor and we pay the resort a $250 bar set up fee and a bartender $45 per hour to serve the alcohol. i am thinking of having (for 40 people): 1.5 cases white wine .5 case red wine 3 or 4 cases beer sodas, juice and bottled water coffee and tea will be included in the buffet do you think it is a big deal not to have liquor and just wine and beer? do you think we should have 1 signature drink? if so, what?

i agree with Lizz, i think you should call the girl and call her out on it. tell her that you are not ok with her basically cheating on FI's brother in front of you and expecting you to keep it secret. give her the chance to tell him first

that is going to look beautiful with your dress erica!

i get mine from The Vitamin Shoppe Bee Pollen Granules by Vitamin Shoppe - VitaminShoppe.com make sure you get the granules and not pills or capsules!

i use bee pollen. i put it in oatmeal in the morning along with 1 TBS ground flaxseed, 1TBS raw wheat germ, some cinnamon and a splash of soy or rice milk. bee pollen is notorious for energy, stamina and helping you to feel full along with many, many other benefits. the taste is a little weird at first but once you get used to it, no big deal. also, i know some people that will eat 1 TBS an hour or 2 before a party or big dinner to push off hunger and not eat as much!

catherine - i agree with everyone else - i think the STD cards are important - people are starting to plan their vacations and need to allocate their time off appropriately. it also depends on how many guests you will be expecting and all that. have you set a place and started planning the ceremony and reception?

awesome!! that is so pretty - you look great - i love the lace!

trisha! i love it, you look so sexy and classy - beautiful!!!!!

i like the 2nd one too!

amy - what font is that? it is BEAUTIFUL! my only change would be on the RSVP cards - instead of "We have ___ seats reserved for you" i was thinking "Please reserve ____ seats for us" since technically the rsvp card is coming from the guests to you

wow this is tough, so was the Mrs. there are so many good choices!

good luck Mrs.!

michelle - that is good about the trainer! i know it is hard and it takes time, but stay in there and keep your mind on the big picture, the weight will come off, and better slow than not at all!!!

michelle - do you count calories? weight loss is always a simple math equation - calories in / calories out UNLESS you have a slow matabolism, thryoid issue or medical reason. i agree with the other girls, most of don't realize what we are eating until we start tracking EVERY calorie /bite. also - you may not be eating enough - if you do not eat at least 1200/1300 calories a day you won't lose weight b/c your body will go into starvation mode

very cool! i love your daughter's logo - so original. and PS - i love that you are so involved and on her to help her - she is lucky!

when is your legal wedding? gwyne and mark are my photogs too! they are so talented i can't wait to see your pics!!!

great choice - she is amazing!!!!!

hi Clifford - welcome to the forum!! please make sure to read the Vendor Rules http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t921 if you haven't already done so.

glad that you got some good news and some progress!

hey christine - can i say i know you and how much you paid? i emailed the seller and she quoted me DOUBLE what she quoted you!

those are so beautiful!!! i love prim and pixie - we are waiting for our final proofs now!

aaahh very pretty! i love how the aisle was so long and had so many votive bags and petals! did everyone wear whites and creams? that is what i want to do too! love it can't wait to see the pro pics

yeah i would definitley stop including her, definitely (gently) talk to FI about it and maybe have a conversation with her next time she does those things. if you don't start sticking up for yourself you are going to wind up exploding on her and that will most likely be much worse!
