Oh God Michelle....DON'T REMIND ME!! I am seriously thinking of cancelling my order. Well - probably TMI - but since we have all grown so close here I just called my OBGYN to see what I can do to keep Mother Nature at bay during the wedding and honeymoon. I am anxiously waiting for their call.

I am a fan of #2 - what other colors does it come in? What are your wedding colors?

Yeah - UPS delivers them to the one crackhead/gangsters on our block. I don't think they are crack heads - but they are obviously lying thiefs! They look the other way when they see me now.

Oh how fun Dez! MY gosh girl - you made out like a queen! Your make up looks good too! They did a really nice job. Congrats!

I think it's cute but like the others you can see the transfer paper. I like the BRIDE on the back! Great touch!

LOL - US TOO! It will be 8th grade all over again! LOL. None of this going on.... Hehe! I forgot to tell you guys...I had 3 orders come in yesterday: 1. Custom M&M's - Last week I ordered some teal/turquoise and cream colored M&M's for our palm tree favor boxes. One said Celina & Shawn and one said 11-8-08. Our UPS guy showed up yesterday with my goodies. So I go in the house excited to see my name on chocolate. I opened the box and the bags looked all wet. There was an ice pack in the packing and I assumed the bags got wet from it, however; when I got everything out I looked at the four rather small bags and it wasn 't the outside as much as it looked like the inside of the bags that were wet! The writing had rubbed off and they looked horrible! I was totally grossed out! SO I immediately called the M&M people and told them that they were all messed up. The guy on the phone was really nice and he said he would send me out 4 new bags. He said it was condensation. I told him I had never seen anything like this - he said not to worry, sometimes something goes bad in the process and they would send me some new ones. When I hung up from him I opened the bag and poured an entire bag onto a paper plate. The M&M's weren't wet - they were oiley! YES - they felt like they were tossed in vegetable oil! It was SO GROSS! I was so bummed I called FI at work and told him about it. I left the candy on the plate and left it on the counter with the bags for FI to see when he got home from work. When he came in this morning he said, "So what's wrong with the M&M's - they look fine to me. Some of the letters are rubbed off - but they aren't too bad." (Little does he know I spent nearly $50 for 4 bags of M&M's - for that price - I want perfection damn it!!) So when I went downstairs to make daughters lunch, they weren't oily any more, but they didn't look shiny like regular M&M's do. I don't know what happened, but we'll see when the new order comes. SO - the M&M people get an A+ for customer service and an F for shipping charges. It cost me $13 to ship four small ass bags of M&M's! If the next ones come back messed up - I am cancelling my order and will just buy plain ones. After thinking about it - I may just cancel my order. I'm still thinking about it. After looking at them...I don't even think I can eat M&M's ever again. 2. Old Navy Clothes - My neighbor actually accepted my first package from Old Navy and kept my clothes. UPS tried to get her to give back the box but she denies having it - even though the UPS driver said he gave the box to a man at the address - I am assuming her husband. It's been almost a month since I placed the order and upon arrival, clothes fit and I finally got an aqua tank to use my "just married" iron on. Old Navy gets an A for sending me my clothes within a reasonable amount of time. 3. - Wrap With Us - I ordered a small white satin flowergirl basket with pearl handles for $7.99 - six pewter palm trees to hold table numbers for $1.99 each, and a rhinestone bridesmaid iron on for $3.99 for my other BM shirt. All were what I expected and Wrap With Us gets an A+ for on-time quick delivery and reasonable shipping.

The brochures look great Andrea!

Hey Danielle - there's now 100 pages on this thread! Does that make us.... ?

Lisa - I am so sorry for your FIL. Damn - that sucks. I'm sure you guys can have a little something here. I'm sure Jayson is scared right now and just venting at you about the wedding because of the circumstances. Maybe your hotel will offer a symbolic wedding. I'll keep your family in my prayers. Rosa - Salsa sounds fun! I can't salsa dance - but I do have rhythm so I can get it once I see it. FI thinks he thinks he can salsa - but has no rhythm. LOL!! I tried to get him to take some dance lessons so he has some basic dance moves, but he declined. Our reception is going to be hillarious! I'll just have to get him liquored up! LOL!

I love all the bottles for the flower arrangements! What are the letters attached to? I couldn't tell if they were on something, or were metal..

We upgraded our stay to a Jr. Suite, and we are supposed to get upgraded to the next level with the wedding package. That would be awesome!

Congrats Abbey! I think LC Rachel had guests stay at Barcelo Misamaloya... I think. You may have to do a search and see. I have a whole file on Dreams PV stuff. Feel free to PM me if you need it. Dreams was one of my contenders and we eventually decided on RIU Vallarta. Let us know how we can help!

Last July (in 2007) when we first dropped the DW bomb on my family, my dad's first reaction was, "Well I'm not going". I was crushed. I had my uncle on back up to walk me down the aisle, and both of my sisters were going. Fast forward 14 months later and all I can say is my, my my how things have changed. I am no longer talking to my uncle, or my younger sister and my older sister can not make it. All summer my dad has been buying straw hats to wear on the beach and has been buying guyabera's like they are going out of style - AND he just went yesterday to drop off his passport application and he can't wait to go! Give them a minute to absorb it. Is anyone else on your mom's side going or considering going? Does your dad have a brother you are close to? Maybe you can have one of them give you away. We're here to listen because at one time or another we have all been in this situation. Good luck!

For the dads - why dont you have them both walk you to the aisle, and when you get there, have bio dad drop off and have the dad who raised you walk you the rest of the way to give you away? That way when the priest or whoever asks "who gives this woman to this man (or whatever) - he can say "Her mother and I - or I do". I feel like he would be cheated out of this special moment if bio dad steps in. Just my thoughts.

HELLO - did you guys check out Erica's pics HOT MAMMA!!

We are planning on having them walk with us and the bridal party from the lobby of the hotel to the restaurant and play a couple of songs during dinner. Reception will be our songs on an Ipod

Eeeekkkkkkk!! ERICA!!! - OMG GIRL! These came out great! I love them! I am so happy that you got them - he is absolutely going to love them! If I could find a reasonable photographer and someone I would be comfortable with, I would totally do them! You look great!

Only a skinny-minnie like you could pull that off - you look amazing - it's a beautiful dress!

You girls look like you all had fun! OMG - You are all so pretty!!

Cute starfish Tara! Be sure to take some extras in case of breakage. I would be scared to take them because I would go nuts if they broke. Maybe put them in a carryon? I am waiting for an e-mail back from our WC because I was thinking of doing menu cards. Oooh....I forgot to tell you guys...my aunt called me yesterday and said she was going to treat me to a massage the morning of the wedding. I am excited and anxious about it at the same time. I am weird about people touching my body - esp. the chubb!! LOL! I'm sure it will be great - I just have to relax. Maybe a couple of drinks before...KWIM?

OMG Leia - your day is coming up here soon! Yay for your coffee maker! Looks like a great time and you looked so cute!

Congratulations! You guys look great and your hair looks great with the flower.

I think either is fine. My dress is ivory, FI is wearing ivory pants & white shirt. Both the FG and RB are wearing all white. Our GM's are all wearing a natural colored linen pant and ivory shirts. What color are the GM's shirts?

Hi Girls! I didn't make it to the post office, but the guys here offered to go to the post office in the airport terminal to drop off my invites. The city of Denver is in DNC mode. We have an abundance of guys on duty this week. The frenzy is kind of cool - I just hope all goes well. I have been trying to find some fabric to make table runners. I only want to make like 6 of them. My custom M&M's should be in today. I'm with you Danielle - back on the wagon for the 25th time!

He just wants to match like daddy and he is our "ring dude" as he puts it. Have you been able to find pants at a decent price? Any ideas on places would be helpful since I am ready to pull my hair out with less than 3 months left!!! OMG! Another date twin! You should post on the November brides thread! I am going to probably bite the bullet and pay for them at Beach Wedding Shirts | Guayaberas, Linen Pants, Boys Linen Shirts, Mexican Wedding Shirts. Our 2 year old son is our ring bearer. Mind you he probably needs less than a yard of fabric...UGH!
