I have pave diamonds on my ering and both of my wedding bands (one on each side of my ering) that go a little more than halfway around. They do spin at times, but not too much where it shows the solid band.

I love this show, but usually only watch when the hubby is not home so I never watch the episodes in order. There is always something going on with them since they have such a large family, but I agree with some of the story lines being far fetched. Like the ones where they buy the chicken and the monkey. Maybe it's what rich people do so it may not be a stretch, but it seems a bit over the top at times. I do like how they all interact though. Very loving and protective one minute and holy cat fight the next.

I'm glad Asuka got the boot, and I knew they wouldn't keep Jonathan. I haven't really been a fan of Vitolia, but not sure if that is just because I disliked Asuka so much. It'll be interesting to see how he does with a new partner. Mary is totally getting on my nerves this season. I never cared for the screaming in the previous seasons, but she has been over the top this season. It also seems like she is always saying the same thing. I didn't catch the Cat slip up, but it doesn't surprise me that she would be in the loop of who was getting the boot.

Happy Anniversary!!

I noticed the banners yesterday and was wondering where they came from.

The first amazing feature of shutterfly is that instead of sharing your pics through email, or through an album, you can just make a website out of your pics... and it's SO easy ! In 5 minutes, it's done, like, select to share on a site, change the three pics on display, add or delete pages, snap, done ! You have a number of designs to chose from, you can display in a slideshow, or thumbnails, or filmstrip, you have a guest book if you want to... you can even make your "wedsite" there !
And what's more, every time you share, you get free prints !! Plus, you can also upload videos to your site. Perfect, perfect for sharing.
Another awesome thing is thaqt if you want to share in facebook or myspace or twitter, just one click ! And you don't have to upload your pics to FB as well !
And then, I discovered the photobooks. First, because I got one free just because I shared pics !! An 8x8 that I will use to make a TTD album. And then, I got another one from David's Bridal. So I started and wow ! Not only easy, but spectacular results !
I'm not big on captions so there are not a lot, but check my project :
Shutterfly | View share
And as you can see, you can share your projects, too !
And all this is FREE. Except when you order a goodie of course, but it is. FREE.
Well, I am happy happy ! So happy I wanted to share ! -
Hello from a former Chicago girl! Riviera Maya is a great location, you would not be disappointed having your wedding there. Welcome to the forum!

I agree that the 3 guys in the bottom shouldn't have been there. I really liked Max, but you are right about them cutting the ballroom guys early. They have cut all the ballroom guys in the beginning from the past couple seasons I have watched. I was disappointed that Ashley got cut. I thought she was pretty good, but didn't have a chance to show what she's got. I'm not crazy about Asuka, I would have rather seen her gone. I liked most of the performances on the first episode, but haven't been too crazy on the performances on the other shows. I don't know if the dancers are just not good, or if it is the choregraphy. I usually tivo the show, and am glad because I have been fast forwarding through the singing performances. They have been awful!! -
Check out Hyatt Place in Lombard. It is a suburb of Chicago, but you can take the train into the city from Downers Grove which is the next town over. There is also a new Westin in Lombard over there as well, but I imagine the rates are cheaper at Hyatt Place. When I lived in Chicago, our power was out for 3 days in the summer so we stayed there to be in the A/C! The rooms were very nice and you can get breakfast or coffee in the lobby. There are a ton of restaurants and Yorktown mall is right down the street. The Hyatt in Rosemont is another option, and there are a bunch of other hotels around the convention center. Rosemont is near O'Hare airport if you are flying into ORD, I'm sure those hotels have shuttles which would be convenient if you aren't renting a car. PM me if you need more help.

We had pink and white chair sashes. I wanted all pink, but at that time they didn't have enough. I'm not sure what they have available now.

I haven't been on the forum too much lately, but congratulations to all the Iberostar brides that have recently gotten married! -

Now that I moved across the country from most of my friends and family, and have an iphone I'm on email and Facebook a lot more. It is nice to post a quick status that they can read and know what is going on in my life. When I lost my job, I posted and a bunch of people reached out to me to try and help put me in contact with people they knew in AZ. It was actually pretty amazing. I still like to get some phone time with my friends and have probably talked to them more since I haven't been working. I was on the phone all day when I was working so talking on the phone was the last thing I wanted to do when I wasn't. Sending an email or a FB message is just easier sometimes.

I'm not a mom, but I can understand your reasons for being hesitant. However, I think it would be a great opportunity to live overseas for a year. That is something that I would love to do. Plus, it is only a year so if you absolutely hate it the time will go by fast and you'll be coming home before you know it. There are a lot of expat sites out there so I'm sure you can connect with other US people in your same situation, in addition, to any UK people you'll meet.

We didn't have an AHR because we couldn't afford to have one and since we were getting married in November and lived in Chicago at the time it would have been too cold to have anything casual outside. People that were coming asked if we were having anything at home and we just no we're getting married in Mexico and left it at that. It is your wedding, do what you want and don't worry about what other people want you to do. People are going to have an opinion no matter what you do so do what you want and can afford!

Congratulations! You looked gorgeous!
-
Congrats on your wedding. Although, it wasn't the Mexico wedding you planned it looks like you had a great time. I love all the pigs!

I got two La Blanca bathing suits last year, and they were extremely flattering. They were over $100, but they were the only suits I found that had the same strap style as my wedding dress (It was a lower cut v-neck in the front and back and a normal style bathing suit top would have shown lines.) I ordered one through Victoria's Secret, and found the other at Macy's. They were part of the Miracle Suit line and had ruching around the middle so they hid my unfortunate tummy rolls!

That's awesome, and what a cool job to have!
Creating photo books, what's my best option?

I used shutterfly for our wedding books, one for us and ones for our friends and family. They send you codes for discounts so they are pretty inexpensive and turned out great.
