Those are beautiful pictures and you guys look amazing together!

I don't know if this is true for anyone else but when I get a wax, my lady pulls really quickly while I press down so it hurts for a minute but I usually walk away with no pain afterwards just when its being done. Having had a brazillian wax, I love getting it, I feel so clean afterwards. If you're not ready to try a brazillian wax what about the playboy?

I like that your bm's can change it to the style they want. Great find, I hope it works out.

You look great Stephanie! He's going to love it. I really like the cover. Do a lot of guys know about the BD book? I didn't ask my Fi b/c I don't want him to think about it just in case I decide to join you girls who did.

Thanks! I love love tripadvisor.

I really like the Jr BM dress, cute style and the two tone color is nice.

What a sad tragedy, on her wedding day in the arms of her husband. I feel so bad for her husband.

Your BM's are lucky girls, you're very thoughtful Leia! Great gifts.

Nice! Its very cute. They will love them.

Thats so cute! I don't know what a wish tree is either? Is it like a wish jar? For our AHR I was thinking of having everyone write out a wish for us and put it in a glass jar instead of a guest book.

Sorry to hear about your friends. I didn't move out of state and I lost contact with a lot of my friends, everyone's going their separate ways. But hey if you want to party in LA, let me know. I am always up for a bachelorette party!

I agree this forum has a ton of great referrals. Do a search and see if anyone has used the same vendors and check out their reviews. Will they not accept cc? I'm going to try to put everything on my cc b/c if there is a dispute later, I can take it up with my cc company.

Good thing Eli is getting married in April, Fi is a HUGE Pats fan so he would probably make me change the wedding to another country if Eli were to get married the same month we did. One and Only has a few venues you can get marry at. We're getting married on the North Beach side.

They'll take your US dollars and give you back pesos but from what I remember you can never exchange your pesos for US dollars so you either use it or you're stuck with it. Something to keep in mind. Contact your cc/debit card. You may get charged extra on top of the atm fee b/c considered international. I didn't want to carry a lot of cash so I just paid the atm fees. Just make sure you have singles for tipping.

Great thread, thanks for the info Leia. This site will come in handy for us.

I think most resorts have some sort of these add-on fees. Have you try negotiating? I got a wedding package and whatever was not listed I have to pay extra, but to give you an example I have to pay $40 if I want rose petals for the beach ceremony but I found out if I don't use roses I can get other petals for free. If you have more people coming then I'm assuming more rooms will be book so hopefully thats a card to play with. Also try asking whats the alternative for certain services.

I had lash extensions and don't recommend them unless you can afford the upkeep of it. Its annoying not to be able to wash your face like normal you always have to be extra careful. You would be surprised how often you want to rub your eyes. They do look great for about 1.5 to 2 weeks then when they fall out they take your real lash too. I already have short lashes but after the extensions they were uneven. It took a really long time before they got back to normal. I agree with the MAC lashes, if you can get someone to do it then thats best. I don't have the skills so for my wedding I would pay for it. IMO, Individual lashes would look more natural but I'm sure a pro can make the strip look good. I can tell you that I finally give up on all of the drugstore brands, either they're too long for me and I can't cut them right or the glue wasn't strong enough or too clumpy.

So sorry to hear about that. What field of marketing are you in? Are you already in internet marketing? I'm positive that great opportunities lay ahead of you. Hope you find something soon.

I had to change my location and date. Now looking back, I'm glad I have more time. You did the right thing. Now have fun planning and don't stress.

Your dress looks amazing on you! Very beautiful. Congrats!

Hi, Not a Sandals bride but I did stay at Sandals Grande Ocho Rios and loved it. I booked a room on the manor side and upgraded to the ocean side of the resort which I felt was a lot nicer. I saw the plantation and wasn't impressed but thats me. The hotel photogs are great! I think Grande Ocho Rios is a great place to have the wedding but I recommend Sandals Dunn River for the two of you to stay at. Its very romantic and intimate.

I think you should plan your wedding where you want and the cost is right for you. Your guests can always stay in nearby resorts in which the cost is good for them. Do you have an estimated date yet? This might be part of the deciding factor if the resorts are available.

Congrats and Welcome! Wow, thats great that you're almost done with everything.

I think its really nice that you use your real name. I'm noticing that a lot of members on this forum use their real name too. I feel like a nerd for not doing so. I don't even know if my real name would fit? It has 10 letters.

Love all the shoes! Good deal too. The color of the shoes is a nice touch to a white dress.
