These look really nice - the guys are going to love them!

These ROCK!!!! I love the comedic spin you gave on the the kits! Nice job!

Great find - thanks for sharing. Now where are those pics?!?!?!?!

I had a blast at the Blue Parrot, it was great to dance on the dance floor that sits next to the ocean. I'm also an avid TripAdvisor reader, but don't agree with half of the reviews. Another great night club is Santanera - that place rocks! www.santanera.com

We are getting legally married the day before we fly out! Congratulations~!

I went ahead and purchased invitiations, and mailed them out at the begining of March, becuase our final deposits are due next week, so I wanted to give people plenty of time. I'm a little freaked out right now too, as I have a huge list of "To Do's", but I know it will all get taken care of. I also think you'll be fine, remember to b-r-e-a-t-h-e.

Very Cool - How did you make this?

Your monogram looks great - How did you create it?

This is hysterical! Great idea, and will look into this for our wedding party - thanks for sharing!

Ladies, For those of you creating your wedding music list, Itunes makes it very easy. There is an option that will pull all wedding songs into one category for you. Go to Itunes essentials ---> Go to MyGroove ---> Go to Indie Wedding Another option: From Itunes essentials ---> enter the words "wedding songs" in the search field for all the complete and compiled list of weddings songs from hundreds of artists. This just saved me so much time, and I hope you will find it just as useful!

A must have wedding song that I think everyone should have is: First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes

My 7-year old son is not coming with us to oiur destination wedding. We are staying at an adult only resort, and are also using this as our honeymoon. My son has been very involved with knowing everything thus far, and we have been very diligent of including him on everything. Our ceremony in Mexico is a symbolic Mayan ceremony. We are having a very special day with him when we marry legally here in the states, and he is included at all other functions. Do not feel guilty that your child is not with you during the destination wedding; some people can't afford that; or other legitimate reasons. Make a special day with him and just the 3 of you. Congratulations!

How fancy - I love it.

We're going to have our AHR in August, and it's going to be rather large. We're expecting approx. 250-300 guests, live band, dancing, food, drinks, and just a good time! We're having it at my girlfriends home. Very laid back celebration, but with everyone we love!

I feel like an idiot - thank you! XO

Looks like you have a well thought out plan, especially with the programs - We're just going to wing it...well with a little help from Jose Cuervo in the blood I think words will flow

No, it just came up as 920, I do not know where the edit option is for this. Would you mind telling me where I can find this please? Please pardon my ignorance

Quote: Originally Posted by ~Debra~ AprilandPatrick, I am having a bridal shower on may 2nd. Everyone is actually super excited about it. Although I don't know if my future in laws will be attending. They haven't been very involved. I don't think they are spending alot of money or anything for it. It can be as formal or informal as you like. I'm not really involved in it though so I'm not sure what they have planned. My bridesmaids haven't really helped me with much yet. I will be asking them to help with OOT bags if I decide to have them and I will be having everyone bring stuff with them when they come to Jamaica just to cut down on all the luggage for me. If you need your bridesmaids to help you with stuff, I would ask them. I'm sure they would've mind. My bridesmaid always ask if I need help with stuff. I just haven't needed it thus far. As far as the inlaws go...that's a completely different story. We have gotten nothing but negativity from his family about our decision to get married in Jamaica. They have no qualms about letting us know that they wish we were getting married here in Ohio since that is where the majority of family is. His aunt even went so far during Christmas to let us know how inconsiderate we are being by getting married in Jamaica. We got questions like "why can't you guys just have your honeymoon in Jamaica?" We just informed everyone that we want to get married in Jamaica so that is what we're doing. Our decision wasn't meant to hurt or purposely exclude anyone but at the end of the day we have to do what WE want since this is OUR wedding. I don't think they understand but it will be recorded and we are having a AHR so that will have to suffice. We even found out just LAST NIGHT that his mom has decided that she will not be attending because she is afraid to fly. Nevermind the fact that she has flown once before...I could go on and on. So, don't feel that you are alone in the battle with negative inlaws because you are not. I can't even begin to tell you how elated I am to know that someone else is dealing with negativity. By all means, I'm not happy for you of your troubles, but I have felt singled out, and alone on this one. I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with the same issues - it bites! Well we have the shower booked for May 16th and my bridesmaids are throwing it for me, so I guess I will allow them to continue. I think that the date is approaching so fast and everything has become so overwhelming. Question: How are you dealing with the comments and such? Not to pry, but it has me so sick to my stomach that I'm a wreck. Have you all expressed your feelings or do you stay closed off? Maybe I need to carry a flask of wine in my purse Thank you for posting, and congratulations on your day. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful and good for you for sticking to your guns!

You have great taste - good job!

How do I edit my title? I purchased the title option, and now I do not know how to change the name?

You ladies are way ahead of the game than I am. I have some questions for you girls: Are any of you having a wedding shower or couples shower? I feel like it's too much to ask with everyone spending the money on flying out to Mexico...so I'm thinking about cancelling. Thoughts? What are your bridesmaids assisting you with? I don't want to ask them to help me with the OOT bags, becuase I want that to be part of the surprise for them....but I need to include them on activities...I think - thoughts? Are any of you receiving any negative feelings from the future in laws for having a destination wedding? My FI parents have been extremly negative, as they have never travelled out of the country...and they live in a small town and are very closed minded...his brother and sister-in-law are also freaking out, and no matter what I say they are just ugly about everything. I need some advice on how to deal with this. I must seem like a complete freak with all of these questions, but our date is right around the corner and emotions are hitting me hard and fast. Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Muchos Gracias!

I would LOVE to have Elizabeth do the photography for my wedding her work is unbelievable. Have you browsed her Blog? Also, if you Google her she has many reviews out there that are privy to the public. She is first class.

Congratulations - We are also having a symbolic ceremony on June 13th at EcoTulum...however we're staying at Catalonia Royal Tulum. Are you having a Cosmic or Mayan?
