I plan on doing 2. I think the DC aisle is pretty long so to get the ring bearer, two flower girls, and MOH down to one song then my dad and I to another. Plus they are both very important songs to us.

How incredible! Totally true or not I believe in the power of healing a dog can provide!

There is a reason you decided to go this way to begin with. Have you seen her work before? If not can you ask to see some examples of gowns she has done? If you dont like the quality you see then forget it. You have to be confident in your dress!

This is an amazing idea! There is something to be said for great girlfriends. How about one of those spa retreats? Here is a great link to help out.. Girlfriend Getaways it has all sorts of ideas, from spa days to bachelorette parties!

I just read a trip advisor review that said the drive from the airport to the resort is an hour and half long. Is this true? I want to prepare our guests. I thought it was closer then that.

Best regards, "Come and Experience the new Dreams Los Cabos" Yesica Garcia Wedding Coordinator ~ Coordinadora de Bodas I believe it is just for Dreams Cancun. If the WC at Dreams Los Cabos said ok to outside vendors then that is what you should go by.

So...I'm thinking of still going with a deep purple but having really bright colored bouquets with some orange in them. I think orange or a berry color would be really pretty against the blue and green but most of my girls wouldn't want to wear something that bright. So, I'm thinking of a more muted color with bright accents... Have you picked your bridesmaids dresses yet? Ohhh I like the sound of the purple/orange combo. ITs your wedding do what you want!! Here is a link to the pics of my bms and fgs dresses, etc.. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t19220

I just joined the BDW biggest loser too! Need motivation, I thought seeing the ticker at 6 months would motivate me, but not yet. Our colors are apple and fuchsia. Just decided on those about a month ago. Do you know what you want?

That dress is gorgeous!! Have a great time in Cancun! That was my theory when I went to DR ( I am at my heaviest weight right now), being tan made me feel a little better. If you get to try on that dress take pics, we love them here!!

Congratulations!! That is such a relief isnt it? Let the fun begin!!

Opice, I hope you have a chance to enjoy the process. With the help of everyone here you will be sure to get it all done with as little as stress as possible. Any idea what kind of dress you want?

That is very awesome! Thank you for sharing the pics! Your niece is ridiculously adorable!

But yeah I would love to rid myself of some of that gross stuff from my body. I will def keep you updated! I couldnt help myself, I immediately clicked on this link and went to the picture gallery...WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is nuts!!!!!! I am disgustingly intrigued.

Glad to know I am not alone in this crazy thought of fun blue shoes. Fortunately for me the only part I have to worry about it the reception (probably going to put them back on for dancing, my FI is 6'3" and I am 5'4"). I bought dyeable heels and am going to pic a fun blue. I would think flip flops may be your best bet, easy to take on and off if you need to.

Welcome!! Glad to have another Chicagoland gal here!! Hope your planning goes well!

I thought TA Jill had used him. I am looking to see if I am losing my mind or if thats true. Ok I lied, she didnt.

I bought my cups (walmart 4 for $1 all sorts of bright colors) now it is on to the decorating part. Thanks to Morgan I think/hope I can do this myself.

Welcome! That is awesome you get to work together! Thank you for joining us!

Welcome Juan! I just got back from a girls trip to your beautiful country! Thanks for joining us!

Welcome Julie and Chris! Hope your cruise is awesome! You will get a ton of fabulous info here!

I thought I would share this, it really puts a perspective on things... The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions--and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else--the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. "Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first--the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
