Great pics! Can't wait to see more. Your flowers are beautiful.

Is there Bed Bath and Beyond up there? Or I got some of my meds at a store called Harmon, but I had never heard of that store before I walked in there.

Congrats on your marriage. Welcome home!

I found little 99 cent aloes at this store called Harmon (apparently its a discount beauty supply store). I had never been in there before, but they had a whole aisle of bins with good stuff in them. I found OFF wipes in there too- $4.99 for 12 of them. So I picked those up. I did go to Bed Bath and Beyond after and saw that they had the aloe too. I'm gonna go check out Walmart and see what I can find...

Now I'm feeling panicked! Also, how did you go about your guests booking? Did you ask who was and was not going so you could get a general number? How do you get a group discount if everyone is deciding at different times whether they are attending or not? I'm kinda confused on this process. Jackie, I'm pretty sure that all of the wedding packages are for 20 ppl and any more ppl would be an extra charge. The amount of the charge will depend on the choices you've made for your package and dinner. We sent out our STD's and had a travel agent for everyone to contact. They are in charge of their own trips because trying to get 20-30 ppl to fly on the same flights is too much work! lol So, no group discount (which for airfare I think you need 10 people on the same round-trip flights), but our package pricing was pretty damn good anyway. I followed up with an email to everyone invited so they could access our webpage for any questions. Check out my page here Kelly & Ron - wedding website by mywedding.com This page was super easy to make and my guests are loving that they can access it whenever they want. Its a great way to get info to your guests. We are sending out invitations to everyone in September so any last minute ppl can book. Once you pick the resort, you will have to answer some questions from guests, but if you have a good TA they will be able to take alot of pressure off of you when it comes to travel questions. Let's face it- we have enough crap to deal with! lol

When I first tried on my dress I did it barefoot. I haven't had it altered yet, but luckily I don't really step on it at all now. I plan to get some shoes for the reception, but will just fit the heel to the dress rather than the other way around.

Ooh, I like those alot. Nice that you can get two colors.

I didn't even think of trying to make them myself... I'm soooo NOT creative. But after reading this, I saw some awesome flowers in AC Moore, so maybe I'll give it a shot.

Glenda, what a chaotic day! So glad it turned out well in the end. Your dress is gorgeous. I def don't think you looked prego. Can't wait to see more pics when you get them...

omg- my FI would gag if I read him this thread! lol I'd say PB and mayo is pretty gross and I love both of them separately, but what's even grosser than that is Miracle Whip on ANYTHING. YUCK

Today I found Aloe Vera for my OOT bags for 99 cents. I'm thinking I might give up on the sunscreen idea since I assume most people know its going to be sunny in Mexico and bring it themselves. (that's what I'm going to tell myself if I can't find it anyway) lol I have to work on my to-do list this weekend so I know where I am and where I have to go...

I need to take care of myself and my dogs. He's a big boy, he'll figure things out for himself, even if it's too late when he does. Dez, I didn't read any of the responses after this, but I wanted to tell you that I think going to see someone yourself would really be worth while! I have dealt with some similar things in my relationship, but the difference is that my FI was more than willing to make changes so that we could be happy together- this included therapy. He went by himself and we went together. I have gone a few times by myself and found it really helpful, not only for my relationship, but in all aspects of my life. You have to put yourself first and take care of you... the rest will fall into place where it should. I know its so much easier to give advice when you are not in the situation yourself, but that's my 2 cents. I hope that things work out and whatever happens you are HAPPY! Who knows, maybe if you go and your FI sees it he will be willing to go with you. Kelly

I ordered my dress from David's and they told me it would be in in three months... it came in 3 WEEKS! I actually called them back to make sure it was MY dress it came in so fast. So, from my experience I would think you would have enough time to make a change if need be.

Oh my gosh... what gorgeous pictures!

What a great review! Congrats on becoming a Mrs...

I've been wondering what everyone else is up to also... I've been buying things for my OOT bags, which is lots of fun! I figured out what I'm doing for centerpieces, found great candle holders at Pier 1. I'm still in search of sunscreen for a dollar! lol Every time someone on here posts that they've found it I go out looking again and nothing... I still have to do a couple of big things, like pick my wedding package with the resort, but honestly I'm not too worried about it since I could get there and change my mind anyway. We're working on comparing pricing between a few options right now. Andrea- I know from reading some of your other posts that you are getting a lot done!

Oh, how cute that you will be there the same time as another forum bride! Welcome.

to the forum!

You have the same name and initial as me! haha I like the first names now too... one day I'm going to win the BDW lotto so I can change mine. All it takes is 100 points and a dream... lol

Hmm, I'm trying to get as much wedding stuff done as possible and working hard on my tan! That will be my full time job. lol

Sorry I got on so late yesterday. I pm'ed you with the info. Thanks!

Oh, I live in Milford, only 20 min from where you grew up. Looks like I'm the only one left in CT... lol I'm gonna have to advertise this site. Brides in my state are missing out!

This has been sooooo frustrating! I agree with the long ride to Dreams Tulum - my fiancee's mother does not handle long rides well so I have counted that out. I also have counted out the Barcelo for certain reasons as well. Now it's down to the Pardissus and the Palladium. Anyone know anything about the Palladium? I really like what I see of the Paradisus and actually right now, I am finding it's about $100 cheaper per person to book at that resort versus the Palladium...hmm.....maybe I should take that as a sign. If I remember correctly the Palladium is part of a group of resorts? If that's right I looked into it in the beginning and decided against it because I thought there was a chance it would be crowded, especially the beach- compared to Paradisus which is smaller so less people. Quote: Ok....so my TA just got back to me with some prices. When I look at those exact dates on expedia.com, my guests and I could book for $200 cheaper than what she is quoting us. Why is that and would you all recommend to go through the TA or get the better prices on expedia or other online deals? This happened with one of my guests and they called our TA- the TA said she could match the price. Sometimes there are deals online. I would see if the TA can match it if you like working with them. I like knowing that if we have any travel problems I can call our TA and she will handle them.

This is too funny. The part about the dog being retarded made me laugh out loud! Thanks for sharing.
