YAY Erin for reviving this thread! Quote: Originally Posted by Sloan I confess that my FMIL drives me crazy.

Maybe she is just trying to get to know you better? Just feel lucky she isn't texting you everyday to tell you how awful you are for her son or some other crap!!

I dream of being able to tell them all "shut the hell up, put a smile on your face and behave. It's our wedding. You may think we want to hear your stupid opinions and complaining, but we don't give a rat's ass! HA HA HA DO IT!!! It is amazing the "packages" some of our loves come with right?

Edit - I didn't mean that to anyone specific on this thread! I'm just tired of hearing women whine and not take responsibility for their actions. I totally agree!! Life is what you make of it... of course family can really make a wedding not so fun! But life in general " BUCK UP PEOPLE!!" ha ha ha

She is obviously insecure in her relationship and it bugs the hell out of her that he had a life before her. She is just an idiot. Don't let it get to you. She can't be TOO happy if she is bugging you in her free time. She is probably miserable and wanting to not feel alone. You found your man.. just ignore that stupid **$# and put it in the past with Mr asshole!!

I am FINALLY getting around to doing my hair after the wedding... I don't know how many of you saw this thread http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...979#post517913 but I never got my hair fully fixed since then. I mean I got the orange out, but my hair is still just fried. I am going to cut it to my shoulders and dye it brown. I have never had brown hair and my hair is about mid back right now. I am super excited BUT I am scared about where to go. I would prefer not to have to go to Dallas but I will if I need to. I live closer to Ft Worth. But if you all just LOVE a certain place I would love to hear about it. Also, has anyone had any experience with JKS? I love their hair products but I haven't heard anything on their salons. TIA!!

Are you saying on non-wedding days that people came in w/o passes?) Just on the wedding day they came in. My photographer came the day after to do the TTD and he just had to get clearance through the security and we didn't pay again.

I have amazing pictures to look back on!!! How was it all for you?

Well said Jeremy! I went back and forth between Male and Female photographers. There are a lot of great photographers out there, both sexes. Remember, most photographers have a makeup/hair artist. They are there throughout the process. It's not like you are in a room alone with a guy, a bed and nothing to protect you but a thin strip of lace!! The girl with us helped me change and suggested poses and was a part of the entire process. You can also make it a session where there are other girls there etc etc etc. Basically, choose a photographer based on talent not based on sex. That is just silly.

You may just have to be patient!

I haven't ever used a frame.... I just always went to the pet store and bought whatever they had. They all worked great.

Problem with my dress!!!
Kat81 replied to Becksy's topic in Destination Wedding Dresses, Wedding Attire & rings
If they can't fix it I would say two hundred dollars is appropriate! This is your wedding dress after all! I bet the bleach would work though!! Good luck! -
Quote: Originally Posted by dancingdolphin Hi Everyone! I just wanted to give a quick update now that we're back. Unfortunately, I knew on the flight home on Sat nite that I was going to get sick - could just feel it in my throat - and I was unfortunately right. Because of that, this will be short. The wedding was wonderful! Weather wasn't the best (had to postpone the wedding 1/2 hour for brief rain shower and it was EXTREMELY windy) but can't control that. Claudia was easy to work with once I got there. I switched my photographer without making prior arrangements and when we sat down, we extended the videographer. The video was AWESOME - I'd recommend extending it instead of the gazebo decor! He came to my room before hand, video'd FI, the ceremony, and most of our pictures. FI spent a good part of yesterday converting it to put on his facebook page. Not sure if you'll be able to see it without being his friend, but here's the link: Login | Facebook Claudia's mom is sick, so she's been very distracted with that. We had to move my initial session a few days (which I was mad about) because she had to go to the hospital (not sure the problem w/ her mom). A day or so after the wedding, we had our appt to finalize the billing and she called me crying saying she had to leave because of her mom. Someone's wedding was going on at that time too so I felt bad for that bride. She stayed through my reception and there were a few times I needed her to find things / do things. Overall, I would also recommend being very organized. I had everything written down and all items labelled in bags (i.e. items for bouquets, sand ceremony, all guestbook items together, etc). I wish I could give more details right now, but I'm going to try to get more sleep. I really don't want to be sick - I'm suppose to be going back to work tomorrow and have SO much stuff to do today. Your video is amazing. I am so sad I didn't get one.. Stupid Gaby!!! I am in tears watching yours. You looked amazing! Congrats!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! We all love you!

I am totally obsessed. It is really odd, but my canadian stepson that just moved down here is really obsessed too. They are doing a mock vote on the 4th. So, in their history class they have been debating back and forth. He is so Pro McCain it's hilarious. He has debates with me in the car. He is only 12 so I love that he is so enthused about it all no matter what his vote is.

Once they are in they are in They told us as long as the people just came for the wedding they didn't have to pay. They all stayed past the wedding and drank with us in the lobby. Nobody said anything. Although, there were a few guys that went to the bars after and tried to bring some senoritas back and the security called them out on it.

He said it probably won't last long and should get back to normal as soon as everyone realizes they need to be spending in Canada!! SIGH!

My wedding is over BUT.... My husband gets paid in Canadian money. We have to wire it down here to the States where we live. Each time we wire we are losing like two hundred for every thousand. So if we transfer five thousand we are losing a thousand dollars!! Not fun!

Dreams Cancun - 8-31-08 wedding review (long with pics)
Kat81 replied to dmarie17's topic in Destination Wedding Reviews
I really didn't mind their makeup! I thought it looked great! I wouldn't go buy a ton of makeup. Just bring whatever you normally wear for touchups later in the night. I didn't touch up my makeup all night though. I forgot about it lol! I actually bought a bit of makeup before I left too just in case and I ended up not using it at all! I am super picky about my makeup for real! I was freaking out until I saw the finished product. Sorry about the car BTW that sucks. -

I don't know if it was the same people. But the snorkeling was great!!
