i haven't 'formally' asked them yet but have been collecting little gifts - we are torn over to ask them before the booking stuff is out there - we don't want people to feel 'forced'? i would love to hear your stories - also did you give them gifts / cards / drinks / etc?

there are a lot of great ones and most of all you both look so happy! i love this one:

i thought i would give an update to the Diet To Go thread http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...-delivery.html working and still really good! i have had a couple things i didn't care for but nothing disgusting - mostly the food is VERY yummy! i lost 4lbs the 1st week, 1.8 the 2nd and didn't lose any or gain any last week (we were on vacation!). exciting!!!! dress shopping is starting to sound fun again

HaY Birthday!!!!!!!

and Congrats!!! We are getting married in Molokai and planning on visiting both Kauai and Big Island for our Honeymoon. let me know if you need any help!

this is a great thread - i love all the animals! this is Mabel - she is a rescue - we saved her from the streets in a huge snowstorm about 2 1/2 years ago - she is awesome!

congrats again! the pics are awesome - what a creative and amazing way to capture the energy and happiness of that day!!!!!!

Wow - it is really nice! what hotels are near there?

i know - it's crazy! i couldn't believe it when i saw it - it didn't look like paint though - it looked like one of those advertising wraps INSANE but so funny in person!

this is not a joke - this car was parked in front of our house so i had to take pics with my camera phone!

that dress is hot! i love it - i also liked your 1st one too - i wish i would have known you were going to return it - i think i would have bought it from you!!! you look great!!!!!!!!

as of now we are going to be in Molokai for a week for the wedding and wedding related activities and then go to Kauai for 4 Days and then Big Island for 4 Days but we really want to go to the Maldives so if we save enough, who knows!?!

i just ordered one - so exciting!!!!!

i love it! i went on the site to buy one and they are not on there anymore - can you PM me her email so i can ask about it? thanks girls!

we do a date night or day once a week. most recently we have been doing theme dates, our current theme is cultural so we picked 8 areas of the world we want to learn about and then we seek out things to do that are eye-opening, interesting, entertaining or just fun. some examples that we have done are: Japan (we went to the Cherry Blossom Festival, an authentic Japanese street food restaurant, looked up interesteding facts about Japan (like we found out that the country produces NO natural resources) and watched a documentary about Japanese culture) Brazil (went to see a live band (Alo Brasil) they are awesome - it is like Samba and Carnival with amazing music, went to a Brazilian steakhouse for dinner and watched a show about Brazilian food on TV) there are so many possibilities with this one....

yes definitely do - i can't wait to see them!! we looked EXTENSIVELY into P.R. as a location but decided against it for a couple of reasons - where are you looking?

These are yummy and the ingredients are pretty healthy - i also like to make a version of this with a peanut butter cookie base and strawberry jam so they are like PB&Jelly cookies!!!! Jam Thumbprint Cookies 3/4 tub Earth Balance (3 sticks or 1-1/2 cups), at room temperature 1 cup turbinado sugar (or part sucanat and part turbinado) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3-1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash 7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut Raspberry and/or apricot fruit-sweetened jam Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the margarine and sweetener until they are just combined and then add the vanilla. Separately, sift together the flour and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture. Mix until the dough starts to come together. Dump on a floured board and roll together into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes. Mix the egg wash and place in shallow dish. Put coconut in a separate shallow dish. Roll the dough into 1-1/4-inch balls. Dip each ball into the egg wash and then roll it in coconut. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and press a light indentation into the top of each with your finger. Drop 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each indentation. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the coconut is a golden brown. Cool and serve.

we went to a DW last year in Cabo and these were in our gift bags (the margarita one) - it was VERY cut but tasted like shit - everyone wound up throwing them out...obviously i don't know what the others are like but that one was pretty gross!

If your printer rolls the paper I'd try putting the envelopes flap up laying this way: |. You'll have to adjust the settings in whatever word processing program you are using as well probably on the document and on the print settings. If this doesn't help let me know. i have to feed them like | because they are too wide for the printer the other way. it rolls so i will attempt it with the flap up and let you know! thanks for all the help!!!!

we chose Molokia, Hawaii because we were not flexible on our wedding date (anniverary) and September is hurricane season in the Carribean and Coastal Florida and b/c of some family members limitations we need to stay in US Territory and most of all b/c it is unique, luxurious, an adventure and our group can buy out the whole lodge for 4 days!

i just ordered 1 1/2" round clear stickers with our logo from Zazzle custom t-shirts and more, create or shop for unique designs shipped in 24 hours it was about $40 (including shipping) for 160 stickers!
