  3. I have ordered my satin chair sashes in fuschia and black as well as table runners. They look great and have decent weight to them. They don't feel flimsy. You can't beat the price. Win win!
  4. Suzanne Morel....or you can do what I'm doing and bring your our stylist....she's in my wedding party When's your wedding?
  5. Mike has a crush on the Rock. According to him...he has the greatest smile.
  6. I just had my shower this past weekend and I gave my hostesses a really nice candle. They were surprised.
  7. Well after exercising almost every day and really watching what I ate (no samples at Costco) I finally fit into my dress. Now the real test begins....staying the same size. I cannot go down or up because it will mean alterations which I no longer have time to get done. Now to learn how to do that and still make time for chocolate cake
  8. Honestly...they're not so bad! My problem is the lace on my dress and the detailing on the toes do not like eachother. I'll make it work though because they look great together.
  9. We did a package that had photography and videography. We wanted to capture it all.

The shoes you are looking for are Manolo Blahnik shoes. My friends bought be a pair as an early wedding gift. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! I feel like a princess in them. They are stunning.
  11. The beach reception I saw when we were on a site visit looked fantastic. The are is really secluded. Very private. They place plywood on the sand to create a makeshift dance floor. Search it on this site. I know that there are links to pictures. We're having ours by the pool. I have guests with mobility problems.
  12. Did my treadmill interval training with minimum speed at 6.5 and max at 13.5. I also went out for breakfast so I'll do a bit more cardio tonight then tomorrow morning is weights or Jillian Michaels. Not sure which....
  13. If you don't want her there don't have her. If anyone asks why then you can always enlighten them. If she insists on making others feel sad for her you may have to give an explanation. She obviously forgot that what goes around comes around. What I can't understand is why she would do that in the first place You have some restraint! I'd have knocked her on her a$#.
  14. Aren't boys funny? They get interested in things like comic books, action figures, movies when they are kids and they are obsessed as adults. We weren't like that were we? Don't we change our preferences? I know my guy is obsessed with anything Star Wars. Heck, he even has the trivial pursuit star wars edition. But I'm not alone in my pain. My MoH husband loves it too! There should be a bylaw or something..... only 1 fanatic per 500'. Kudos to you though for getting him to dance out of it all!!! Way to go girl. Do you give lessons? Mike's 2 step is like a 5 step. Lord help me at our first dance. Like high school all over again.
  15. Just did level 3. I was feeling brave (read: STUPID). I can't move my legs! This dvd and I have a love/hate relationship. I love it when I'm doing it and I hate it the day after.
  16. I really don't try to pay attention to the scale due to that very fact. I eat something that contains a bit of salt.... I gain! What I do once a week is take measurements. That's the only way I can see if I've gone down in size. I always try to remember that muscle also weighs more than fat. I won't mind weighing 130lbs if I'm a size 4 or 6. Most of the people you see in fitness magazines are about that weight but can fit into size 4! Amazing.
  17. Don't get me wrong....I'm happy I bought the dress but I just wasn't sure it was me. My BM's were in tears when they saw me but it didn't feel like "the ONE". I just took the dress in to be bustled so I don't trip on the train and break my neck in my nice 4" heels. My seamstress is a genious! She did a fast under-bustle or french bustle and the entine bottom of the dress changed immediately! I LOVE it now! Amazing what one little buton can do I'll post pics when I get it back on the 18th of September.
  18. If memory serves me correctly, the beach reception is held just below the steakhouse. I believe there is a set of stairs that go up about 2 flights that will lead you directly to the bar. We also saw this set up on our site visit. Very private!!! They will have the tables in the sand but they construct a dance floor and walking area out of plywood. My dress has a chapel train and is lace so I prefered to have the stone walking area. My worst nightmare is to have my dress tear on a peice of wood.
  19. Jerome's pictures of Baja Norte sold us on the area. That's where our reception will be with the ceremony at the San Jose Gazebo. I can't wait for him to photograph us! I'm super excited!!!
  20. It's a $500 site fee and it is extra for the food. It can range from $38 - $58/pax. We chose the $48/pax option. We are not paying for a bartender though becuase the bar is only one set of stairs away. We saw the set up when we were there for a site visit and were sold.
  21. I think that as long as you have a few different shades in your hair it will emphasize any hairstyle you have. Also remember the sun will change the color slightly when you are in Negril. If you go too light it will lighten even more or go slightly brassy due to sun. At least that's what my hairdresser tells me! Thankfully mine is going to my wedding to save me from bad hair! Do you know what you want for the big day? Is it going to be up or down or a bit of both?
  22. My cat is an indoor cat because he's too stupid to find his way back home. Not a lie! He lost his way when he ran out of the house and hid under the neighbour's deck because he couldn't find his way back home. A mere 20' away. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer! Our neighbours have indoor/outdoor cats and the only thing I can't stand is the fact that they use MY yard as a litter box. Drives me nuts. Also, too many big dogs around our area. Calvin wouldn't do very well around them. He'd want to play with them.
  23. We're going to do the legal part in our livingroom with just 2 people (Moh and BM). Afterwards we are taking our wedding party (-2 in another province) to a restaurant for a "happy going away party". We love to go to dinner with friends so this will seem like another Friday night to us. Just what we want!
  24. My FI, one of his groomsmen and my MoH all know eachother's weight,body measurements and fat measurements. We are all in "crunch mode" and we are tracking results. When we are out of town for work we try to use facebook to keep everyone honest. The guys have even tried to do a few DVD's of Jillian Michaels with us. My FI and I keep our weight on a calendar on the fridge. It keeps me in line. We do try to emphasize reduction in fat and measurements as we all know that muscle weighs more than fat. My weight is now 131lbs and I only have to lose another 1/2" to 1" to make my dress feel comfortable because I am NOT paying to get that beast altered!
