I have no boobs, so it looked a bit deflated , but I tied the bottom ones lower on my back than i normally would and the top ones straight back and it looked fine. I bunched the fabric on purpose so there were no gaps between my skin and the fabric, so it had this eliptical shape to it. Also, mine came with two rows of straps on each side (total of 4 ties), so I took one row out on each side, not sure if i just had a freak top or what, the picture only has one set of straps.

Well just one less thing to worry about as i get older and my butt grows along. Now if I could figure out what having a small bust protects against? Thanks for the article.

Quote: If you see wife along the way, shake wiener at her making the woo-woo sound. Look at your manly physique in the mirror. Admire the size of your wiener and scratch your ass. Wash your hair. Make a Shampoo Mohawk. OMG This is hillarious. My FI totally does this (I know-TMI). I guess if you see this and think its cute, you're really meant to be.

I totally got this mental image of a bunch of kids trying to smoke my palm fans. It might actually work. We have a bunch of young families in our neighborhood, if it doesn't look like a diaper or make baby noises, they don't care.

They are beautiful and totally professional looking. Love, love, love the colors.

If it spins fast like a top its likely done. A raw egg spins slow and off kilter. Seriously...try it...it's so strange! How cool, I think I'm going to go home and boil some eggs just so I can test this spinning thing. This is super helpful, I just boil my eggs until my patience runs out, so they're always underdone.

I have to keep doing things otherwise I'll go insane, I don't think I've gotten any work done in the last few months. Quote: Originally Posted by DougsGirl still havent gotten my freakin parasols from luna bazaar, has anyone else had trouble with them? i've only heard good things, but i'm wondering what's up right now. i never even got a confirmation email yet. been too busy to email them. maybe i should get my butt off BDW and do something actually for my wedding once in a while I feel your pain, I am having a huge issue with my shipment from Oriental Trading, its been three weeks. Its not really their fault, they shipped on time, its just stuck somewhere in Nevada. I honestly think my mail lady hates me, she keeps delivering my packages to the wrong houses and my super nice neighbors have to drop them off.

I found mine at Michael's, its pretty large, about the size of a box of Kleenex (it's square like one too), they had all kinds of shapes and sizes.

I'm excited because I spent three days last fall planting bulbs and my tulips and daffodils are finally blooming. I have a ton of giant pink tulips. My FSIL came over last weekend and told me I have an Easter House. Yay for flowers. I'm also happy becuase our wedding is finally starting to take shape and people are getting their butts into gear and booking. Yay.

I'm afraid to get it though...I've got NO bust and those types of tops aren't flattering. BUT I did like that someone brought up not having tan lines for a strapless wedding dress...which I have. I bought a strapless top and I have no bust either. I thought it would look terrible, but its not that bad, I dont look like a skinny little boy, which is what I thought I would look like. At least there will be no lines.

Took a minute to find mine. Now if I could look like that, I would be a very happy bride.

I'm no help either, mine was from Victorias Secret, its strapless so I dont have tan lines in my strapless dress.

We've been to MP three times in the past, each time bringing new friends and everyone always loved it 20. Free trips, everyone is so excited about Chichen Itza 21. My FI got a bad ear infection last year and the hotel doctor spoke perfect English and was just great 22. Definitely the horse driven carriage

I've been watching this thread for a while and finally decided to join in. Completed Items: STD's sent Invitations sent Majority of guests booked in hotel Information brochure completed, not yet sent (waiting for a couple of last minute guests to make up their mind) FI suit/shirt/shoes purchased GM shirts purchased 3 of 4 BMs bought their dresses Parent gifts purchased BMs gifts purchased Wedding dress purchased, no alterations Veil, tiara, shoes, other accessories purchased Palm fans purchased Wedding programs completed Favors picked out Selected centerpieces Selected buffet menu Wedding bands purchased Registry for bridal shower and honeymoon registry complete Legal paperwork complete Ceremony area booked Reception area booked Purchased some items for centerpieces Purchased candles for table Guest book completed Sand ceremony jar completed Children favors (mini pinatas) purchased Candy for pinatas purchased Airfare purchased Still Need to Do: Finish table numbers project Buy GMs gifts Finish personalized napkins Purchase rocks and floating candles for centerpieces Purchase Favors Find music Talk to WC (was supposed to be assigned at 3 months, still MIA) regarding ceremony music (harpist), dinner menu, reception decorations, table sizes, etc. Figure out a way to pack everything I think that's about it, i'm sure I'm forgetting something important. Its crazy how much we got done, but what's left is the really important stuff and it would be nice to get a WC assigned to finalize things.

I thought I would need to source this in mexico somewhere! Sorry it took a while to respond, I totally missed this thread. There is a gallery link on the Palace Resorts site that shows some of their cakes. There's only one with shells on it, but it looks like they can do pretty much anything at the hotel. I'm doing the superior package and I get a free large cake, but my contract says is a single level and anything bigger is extra, so I'm going to ask my WC about cake costs (if I ever get one assigned, grrrr) Weddings by Palace Resorts

MoonPalacePookie - did you just set it up at the hotel that day or did you plan ahead? Do you know if we could contact someone at Moon Palace and get information on it ahead of time - to at least make sure they are going somewhere that night, etc...? We didn't set this up, the hotel does this on certain days of the week. Its open to all guests, there were only about 15 of us when we went. They do Senor Frogs and a couple of other clubs. I would ask your wedding coordinator or someone from the hotel. Its part of the weekly activities they put on that include the circus night, mayan night, etc. Have them provide you with a schedule for that week (if they are available that far ahead).

The discotheque at the Moon Palace is okay. Its kind of like the clubs in the US, they play techno and dance music and a bunch of drunk people dance around. If you have a large group of people with you, it should be pretty fun. As far as going downtown, the two times we were there, we went to Senor Frogs through the hotel. The hotel chartered a bus for its guests. It was about $25 per person, but it included all you can drink bracelets at the club. It was such a blast, the bus had black lights and a cool sound system, we danced in the middle of the bus on the way back from the club. I know they did the same thing for other clubs too, but we didn't have the time to do those. They do a few clubs each week, you just need to find out when.

Hey, this squeaky toy is broken.

Quote: omg I can so relate!! we are facing the same issue, the family members are complaining that its too much and half of them are not going to make it...and then the friends that we hardly see that we thought would not come--have already RSVPd and booked!! My FI's mother has not decided if she is coming to the wedding. His mother!!! with three months to go. On the other hand, I went out last weekend with some friends and was followed around the bar by a girl who is a friend of a friend's girlfriend, asking me why she wasn't invited to the wedding and how much she wanted to go. Um, no, I dont even know her. I swear DWs bring out the crazy in people.

I know I'm going straight to DW hell for this, but I dont think I'm going to do OOT bags. We went to a wedding where we got little bags of snacks, chapstick and small packets of stuff and I know most of my friends just left them at the hotel after we checked out. I would hate to lug things all the way to Mexico to have people toss it. Most of our guests will bring sunscreen and other necessities and I will mail a newsletter to everyone before they leave, so they know what to pack and what to expect. That said, I'm doing extra things with favors, a welcome dinner and other touches, just not the OOT bags. I think its a personal decision, just figure out what is more important to you and your guests. Hope this made sense.

I found this one in a bridal magazine. I'm hoping the resort can do something like this: Hope I'm not hijacking, just wanted to share.

I'm getting married in July and am having my reception outside on the Lake Terrace. Here are two pictures sent to me by the hotel: This is a picture I stole from someone's slideshow, dont remember whose or where I found it, but its one of the other outdoor terraces: Hope this helps those of you considering doing your reception outside.
