Sometimes you just have to be straight to the point, ie its a free world by all means come to mexico but don't think you are the wedding because you aren't lol i've, as yet, not had any rogue ones lol Harty, Im going to invade your wedding without an invite. hahaha Ill be there at the same time as you, hopefully we can have a drink or two before each others wedding... lol

Also off topic, how did you make out with the damask stuff you were looking for? Any luck? Hi Kelly... *waves* Im in process of ordering them, thank you so much!!!

I have the pics on my flickr site so if anyone would like access, let me know and I'll attempt to send you a link... I think I'll need your email address so if you want to PM me. Im trying to PM you but for some reason its telling me I have no access...I would love to see your pix..how many hours did you use her for?

Thank you guys all sooo much!!! I really do appreciate it...I will totally use these responses in a kind way...Its so frustrating having to explain to people that they cant come. Thanks girls I don't think I would be as strong in telling people no as I am right now!!!

So I'm starting to finally get my responses back from several guests. I have specifically stated on the envelope who the invite is addressed to and I got a respond from a friend indicating that she is bringing her son, husband, brother and sister in law. WTF!!! I feel like Im turning into bridezilla!! My close friend is single and wants to bring a date, I was ok with that but its like she dates a different guy every month and I know I wont be seeing him the month after that...And my mother in law....she is like inviting everyone without my consent... ugh-- Im soo annoyed!! How do I say NO??

We had no idea where we were supposed to go... good thing everyone has been in weddings before otherwise the bm and gm would have been lost. We only met with Gaby a few days before. The day of the wedding she only called once (about an hour before) to let me know that everything was going to be moved due to the rain. I was worried about the flowers and ended up just picking from a the book (same pics that they send out). I choose B-08 and was a bit worried but figured Whatever! I really just wanted something really bright and colorful. They turned out to be gorgeous!! I loved them! Much better than I ever expected. Here are a few pics. I have more if you need them. The terrace... I wish I took pics but I didn't. I just know that the bar isn't actually a bar... it's like a temporary bar... umm... i can't really explain. Maybe I'm wrong here. I'm going to ask Kat. wow...your flowers look gorgeous but you look absolutely beautiful. I got chills just looking at your pictures!

CONGRATS...YOUR WEDDING SOUNDED AMAZING!!! Awwww, you were so cute, determined to get married in the gazebo! lol

Im incorporating the colors of my wedding into the ceremony. Im also having my mother in law and mother and our twins pour sand as well. There are a bunch of different vases on ebay you can get, just make sure you buy one that has a top for transportation purposes

OMG WOW, thank you soo much, I just emailed her to let me know how much damage its going to be...thank you!!!

Thats the way to go. I did the same thing and purchased 20 of them for $120

Has anyone heard from SIMBASIM?? Im a worried for her, hoping she and her family are ok. I think they evacuated there...Shes in my thoughts..

I know everyone is entitled to their opinions and your probably going to be upset at my response but...isht happens!! Maybe it is a true excuse and maybe she does need this money...I say just focus on yourself and your wedding, you are going to want to share all your fond memories with her once you are back so dont argue with your friend over something she cant help. Maybe she just didnt know how to tell you earlier or she didnt want to back out since everyone else did...I say just go on with your wedding plans and just put that to the side.

wow thats crazy...I actually bought all my female guest those same necklaces in silver except they were knock offs. i got them off of ebay for $6.00 each. The boxes looked cheap though so I purchased white boxes and tossed them in there with a hot pink ribbon

I agree 100% I would also do a toy or something, they are kids and dont really know the meaning behind this painting. The parents of course would love them.

Does anyone have any they can sell me...I need about 10. I saw them at Target and decided to put then off till I was ready and then came home thought about it and went back that weekend to see an empty shelf...shoot me!! Does anyone have any for sale?

No one was rushing us away nor were we asked to pay more to stay. We just kept partying until we could party no more The only thing was they asked us to make the music lower around 10:30 or so. I think it also helped that one of my BMs was running around and making everyone including the WC, DJ, waiters, bartenders drink Tequila shots with her. She managed to get EVERYONE around drunk! LOL I think if you're laid back and don't stress about it, everything will work itself out. Bisha, your pictures look nice, who did you use as your photographer..

I'm using some battery candles that flicker to use next to a memorial photo of my grandpa that I will have there....they work well. Awwwww, are those roses?? They look very pretty.... Now you got me thinking I need to add some dark to my colors. Im going with light pink, hot pink, white, and magenta....

So I went in a rush to Target on Saturday to pick up some detergent and I saw these Straw/Wicker bags that would have been excellent for OOT Bags...They were on sale and me like a dummy didnt think to buy them. Well, I went back today to purchase them and they were all gone...They had a hot pink lining inside and now they are gone......If anyone has seen these bags on here for sale or anyone has extra ones...spare me a few to purchase pls...Im seriously going to shoot myself for not purchasing them..ugh--
