BachataBride

I had the weirdest dream last night. I guess it's getting closer to the wedding date and everything is racing through my mind - even when I sleep!! This is what I can remember...but I'm sure there was much more going on than this...we were at the resort (pretty sure it wasn't the right one!) and it was our wedding day. We got married in a restaurant close to the cafeteria style line (don't ask!). FI and I actually walked down the aisle together. Him in a long sleeve cotton T-shirt and ugly shorts of some kind - apparently he didn't have time to change into his nice white linens. Our photographer (who I guess was my dad) was sitting down instead of up taking our pictures. Then after the ceremony I went about my way & FI went about his (I have no idea what we were doing & why we weren't together!). We did meet up later - but then I woke up! I have no idea what the hell that was all about!!! I woke up thinking - wow...I have to remember not to let that happen!!! Has anyone else had weird wedding dreams like this!!?? Please share!!

That is pretty much what I have...I completely took mine from Becks! (thanks!!) I also included a couple blank "notes" pages and a memorial page for my step dad... Look for my planning thread in about a month... I will have it there!! (it's not quite done yet!)

I am removing Laurence Fishburne...He is scary looking - not sexy!!! Even when he smiles the corners of his mouth turn down! 1. Hugh Jackman 2. Matt Damon 3. Chace Crawford 4. Taye Diggs 5.

Here is my list of photos...it is obviously customized to our family & attendants, but it will give you a starting point anyway!! Let me know if there is anything you think I missed!!! I'm also going to send along a few actual pictures for examples. Photo List.doc

How exciting...and nerve racking!!! I remember when we were in a bidding war with someone for our house! Luckily we won (after having to pay 2k more than the asking price!) But it was totally worth it - we love our new house!!! Good luck!!

Wow...it looks awesome!! Maybe you should start a side business!! hahaha I'm sure you could cut down the time once you got used to it!

Reviews suck!! But yeah...I would think they would talk to you before now if there were any major issues!! Just on the day of the review don't get caught chatting it up on BDW!!! Good luck!

gifts : under the tree

Yes...vaguely familiar!! I obviously love the second pair (as they were my second choice for my shoes!) but I was looking for a heel. Since you are not, then I would go for the first ones! I really like them!! They are a bit dressy, but still comfortable & practical! (and low enough you should fall in them - well...because of the shoes anyway!)

Quote: Originally Posted by heather007 Thanks everyone for so much advice on shoes and where to buy them from.

I'm thinking that I will order them, they are just a simple pair of flip flops with rhinestones on them. I don't want anything to fancy or with heels, I'll fall all over the place and I'm already 5'9, so I will be way too tall. ~~ YAY!! Glad I could help!! And for your concerns with size - if you fluctuate between sizes (I'm a 7.5 or an 8 ) then go with the larger size. If flip flops are a bit too big that's ok, but you don't want your feet hanging off the ends! Or with ebay, you could always ask for a measurement from the shoe itself - get full length measurement or for thong sandals get from the base of the thong part to the heel. Then you can measure your own foot & see what you would need!! Please post pics!!

Quote: Originally Posted by Abbie the one they have is only like the handheld spinning file thing, thats all, kind of like a larger, more durable version of the nail salon thing. maybe it comes with a separate brush thing for de-hairing (haha) shedding? Yeah...I looked online & the ad is $19.99 for the pedi-paws, plus you will get a de-shedding comb free with purchase! I've decided that I will get him the Furminator since FI doesn't mind clipping the nails. It's a deshedding brush. Plus Kongs & treats of course!!

Quote: Originally Posted by beachbride09 How ready is everybody? I'm not as ready as I thought I was! LOL I still have to figure out what hair style I want (I dyed my hair last weekend and just had it cut today); find my 'must take' photo's and compile a list; figure out when/where to get my mani/pedi; find a nice bra for the dress; find a new swimsuit; find water shoes for the shore excursions... and the list goes on. Can anyone share their 'must take' photos? I am so lost in this task. Anyone have plans for Christmas? Ours is going to be low-key; also, my cousin is throwing my wedding shower after Christmas - actually, the week before we leave! I am in the middle of creating my "must have" list. I am hoping to have it done by the end of the this weekend & I will post then!

Quote: Originally Posted by Jacilynda You should definitely invest in the housing. Thats what we have, and they are GREAT! We travel all the time and anytime we have a chance we get in water. We love to take it out boogie boarding, surfing, snorkeling. And it works great for pictures in the rain too! Quote: Originally Posted by MarieSam Hey Amanda, sorry for the late response ~ my brother actually took these pics so I had to wait to hear back from him on all the camera details. The camera he used was a Canon a95, and the case was an underwater housing unit -- the wpdc50 model by Canon. He thinks it was about $150 at the time. He was worried the housing unit would be faulty and essentially damage his camera, but it worked like a charm and he's continued to take fabulous underwater pics of all our snorkeling and diving adventures ever since!!! So def. worth the investment especially if you're water people Thank you ladies!!! Sorry for the hijack!!

Quote: Originally Posted by thephotogirl For Bachata bride asking about underwater cameras - you can buy digital cameras that you can use underwater up to 10ft or 30ft (more expensive). I know Olympus makes one for sure. The other option is a disposable underwater camera. Underwater housings in general are expensive. Thanks!!! We just bought a $400 Sony W300 in July so we're not looking at buying another camera! I found the housing for it on amazon for just under $200 and there are rav reviews on it - so we might invest! We had an underwater disposable last year & were not really impressed (especially since it was a dull day). Thanks for the thought though!

What type of info are you looking for?? I will be there in 5 weeks from today!!!

Thanks so much ladies!!! I definitely had enough drinks for all of you!! I had sooooo much fun! We have tonnes of pics, but I have to wait for one of the girls to send them to me (I hope she does that soon!). I will post them as soon as I get them! I got some great lingerie too!! Woohoo!! Maybe it will spice up our sex life a bit (god knows we could use it!). My MOH also sent a present via one of my other friends (she's in NL and just couldn't make it) - it is a beautiful set in turquoise with Bride embroidered on the thongs! It's soooo pretty!!! Well...back to the couch! lol (although...I am feeling just fine...but very lazy!)

Yay!! Congrats!!! I just know once Christmas is over and I sit down & really think about it I'm going to have soooo much to do!! But if you got half of your to do list done in two days then you are so ahead of it all!!!

I ordered my shoes from ebay...they are white with turquoise accent stones on the straps...there is a thread on here somewhere! Here it is...http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...541#post582445 Oh...I just searched ebay & there are sooo many!! New and used white flip flops wedge, Women's Shoes on eBay.ca

It sounds amazing!! What kind of camera do/did you have to take those pics?? Was it just the disposable underwater one?? We are thinking about buying a $250 underwater case for our $450 camera...does that even make sense! LOL

Thanks Kayte!! I just hope my Crohn's settles down before then! What a friggin week!!

Thanks Abbie!! That's great info!! It seems like it does something for hair removal or shedding, or something like that (I've only seen it advertise once!). Is this the case?? If so, how does it work?? Thanks!!

I included our wedding website on our STDs...then your guests can keep up to date before the invites go out!
