Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Why is it that our men never want us to cut our hair? My FI has hair that is about 1/4-1/2 inch long. He gets cranky whenever I talk about cutting my hair, but I think if he gets to get his hair cut every few weeks and keep it short like he wants, I should get to do with mine what I please. Ugh...men. BTW, I really like the pic you posted of what you think you might do.

Wow gogaloveme, you are way ahead of me and make me feel like I am slacking. Congrats on how much you have done already!!

Welcome and congratulations! I know how you feel about being overwhelmed, but this website has been amazing for answering my questions.

I really like all the color and the double starfish. Nice job!

I love those! I am curious about the rub-ons. Where do you get those? Are they in like the scrapbooking section of a craft store or where would I find them? Thanks!

Can I ask how much you paid for the beads and how many you needed to do all of your bags? I love this idea and am more than willing to do most everything DIY, but I am on a very limited budget.

What did you use to put your logo on the bags? I have seen a lot of iron on things that dont look very good, but those look great!

I am jealous of your talent! Everything looks great!

Your pics are beautiful! You two look like you couldn't be anymore in love or any happier! Congrats!

Sounds like it will be such a romantic destination! Congrats and welcome!

haha! This post is hilarious! I have one for you... When I was little my dad didn't want my brother and I to mess in his workshop area with all of his tools,etc. So he told us that if we touched the air compressor we would get air bubbles under our skin and die. And since you had to walk by the air compressor to get into the shop, we were terrified to go in there! Kind of mean of him in hindsight, but it was effective!

Welcome to the forum! I only found it myself a few days ago and am already addicted, so I look forward to seeing you frequently!

That is so exciting! Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

Best wishes, I will be thinking of you! I am sure it will work out perfectly for you!

OMG! If I lived anywhere near you I would offer to hire a babysitter for you and take you out for a stiff cocktail! I am sorry to hear that you are having so many issues with friends and family. I hope everything works out for you. Just remember that in about a month you will be married and all of the headaches will be forgotten. Hang in there!!

Don't panic! If there is one thing I have learned, it is don't bother stressing because things always end up working out in the end. You have a lot of time before their wedding! If you are a planner and want to make sure you can go, skip one dinner out a month and stick the money in an envelope tucked away somewhere and make sure that you don't take it out for anything EXCEPT for paying for your friends' wedding.

Those are amazing! I just don't have the talent to produce something that nice. Great job!

That's so exciting! Congratulations!!

If there were no pro photographers around, who shot your TTD for you? Did a friend of family member do it? Can you post some pics?

Just wondering how you girls picked your TA? Did you use someone or a company online or did you just find a local TA? Can someone recommend a TA to me? Thanks!

I have a weird question about this... I requested my wedding date, but did not planning on actually booking my room and flight until a few months from now when flights are available so that I could book them as a package. Do I have to book the rooms as soon as I get my confirmation e-mail? Is there a timeline that I have to follow to make sure that I do not lose my reservation?

Melanie- We are planning on being there at the same time as you. We are going down on Weds, Nov 18 and having the wedding on Saturday the 21st. Let me know if you are interested in sharing a photographer, I would love to split travel expenses for a great photog from off the island! -Gina

Free is one of my favorite words! Those look great, I am excited to design and order mine for free as well! Thanks for the great idea!

I went with a company called Jeweler's Mutual at the advice of the jeweler my FI bought my ering from. The benefit of using them over a regular insurance company is that a regular insurance replaces your ring and diamond with something that they feel is comparable instead of letting you have ANY input. If you use Jewelers Mutual you go through the jeweler of your choice to basically recreate your ring to the same quality it was before, or if you want something totally different, they give you the value of your ring that it was appraised and insured at to design whatever you want. This was very important to me because my FI got me a HeartStar Squared diamond, which I LOVE! If I lost it and had it covered by a regular insurance policy they would likely replace it as cheap as they could with a low quality princess cut diamond. It was very reasonable to insure my ring, something like 1% of the appraisal value per year. This is the website: Jewelers Mutual Insurance - Home Hope that helps you decide! I forgot this part...I also have a $0 deductable, which in my opinion is awesome!!
