what a great idea. too bad i didn't see this thread before I went on my last trip. My poor foam bra is deformed right now because i squished it in my luggage.

wow those look great. I love the colors as well

for the birds: They scare me

I think it is natural to be afraid and convert those feelings into doubt. It's hard to look at your life and say yes I know 100% that me and this man are going to be together forever. I've seen friends and relatives that had the big red flag before the wedding and I think we put money on when they were going to get divorced. There have also been those I didn't see it coming from a million miles away. My best advice is to talk about any and every topic that you think of before marriage. You have to know what he wants to accomplish financially vs what you want. If you have someone who only cares about money and is going to work all the time and never be home but just wants to be rich.. then I would be alarmed, especially if you want someone who is going to be there for you. The FI and I play this stupid little game on date night. It's 50 questions and I'll think of something I haven't talked about before and we bring it up while drinking wine. It sounds kind of dumb but you can learn a lot about someone and be able to ask more difficult questions like about kids, house duties, what would you do if the other person passed, etc .... You both may have come from different financial backgrounds and that may dictate the way you think about money and spend it, but the most important part is if you have a similar future goal and how you want to live your life.

The FI and I are doing everything on our own. I have had a couple family members complain at the fact that we're living together and we're going to be engaged for over a year and a half before the wedding. The DW is the way to go. It saves us money and we don't have to invite those annoying extended family members or your mother's friends who you absolutely hate.

I'm excited to know that this epidemic isn't halting everyone's plans to marry in Mexico. It's sad that the media has to blow everything out of proportion and interrupt people's plans. I know January is a while away and I don't anticipate this to scare off any of our guests. It just makes me sad to hear different stories of people canceling their DW due to a media scare and something that isn't that big of a deal. Wish all you May and June brides luck in your continued planning and weddings.

Hello Jane, Welcome to the forum. Congrats

OOH I love Doritos... I love chips in general.. I've been on this Harvest Cheddar Sun chip fix lately due to my family leaving 2 full bags after a bbq a week ago. I think I could eat chips all day long if it wasn't so horrible for you

what do I want to make for dinner?: Shrimp Scampi

carnival: Tilt-a-wheel

those are so awesome. Great colors and design. How fun

wow those are such gorgeous shots. Every TTD photo shoot I see makes me more and more convinced to have one.

I'm sorry. Yeah that was one thing that I made sure I was strict on when we told people that we were doing a DW. We said immediate family and close friends. I don't care if my friend is seeing someone and brings them as their date, but to have people start inviting the world no thank you. I know if it was up to my FI's mom we would have like 500 people there because they are party animals and know so many people. I'm completely satisfied with the 25-30 that are showing up . One thing you can do is say that with what you have set up with the resort you can only have a certain # of people and the max is your guests minus the strangers. It's your day you can call the shots.

Hello Vivian welcome to the forum. Congrats

I just don't understand why the media had to get so into this. Thousands of people die every year from the common flu .. which is contagious, but you don't see people getting all panicky. 91 people confirmed and the world goes nuts. Ahh I wish Paris Hilton would go back to being a S*ank so the media has something else to talk about and not ruin peoples weddings and travel plans.

I too am purchasing the dresses for my 3 BM's and for a gift, I'm getting them all really cute custom made sandals to wear at the wedding. I'll probably be spending about $200 each girl, but we're saving so much with our DW I don't mind.

On Friday : Seattle

Thanks for sharing very cute. I was thinking on having custom made stamps, but the price for how many I need would be way too much. Oh well, but these will work just as nicely.

awe that is so sweet and romantic. What a great story...

worth the cost: Chi Straightener
