I know, I covered him up for anonymity sake (I feel badly posting him on the net, he's a pretty private guy) But as soon as the pic went up I realized he's already in my avatar! Whoops!

Wow! What a great dress. Why, oh why do we not have Target here in Canada!??!

I posted this photo on a Calgary thread, and thought I should let everyone else see how the linen's at Old Navy look! FI bought the white linen shirt for himself, and the same style shirt in black for his 4 GM. They will all be wearing the same pants (except less wrinkled, lol) Linen Pants: $39.95 Linen Shirt: (ON SALE) $24.95 -- for both colors Getting FI to try something on BEFORE he bought it: Priceless!

Aww, crap. I posted a whole bunch of videos and documents--then MY COMP CRASHED! So I'll give it another try. The BEST *need to know* link. Everything from square footage of meeting rooms, list of all the bars, ALL room types w/ amenities and theme nights: Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort - Reservations - Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort - Photos - Testimonials, Pefect beach vacation, All-Inclusive -Judy & Maria's Travel Video w/ full ceremony dialogue (anyone looking to hear specifics) YouTube - S&H Wedding Video Clip 1 Wedding March 07 ( a little dated, but great beach pics) Ceremony YouTube - Ch. 1 - "I do" & Sunset Pictures Sunset pics and Reception YouTube - Ch. 2 - More Sunset Pics & Start of Reception (Jay's Intro) Again, a little dated, but it gives you a great idea of the vibe during the wedding week! YouTube - Our Destination Wedding in Puerto Vallarta - June 2006 This one is from last Feb. YouTube - Puerto Vallarta Dream Wedding Photo & Video Hotel Wedding Firedancers at Dreams PV (This TOTALLY made me want them for the reception!) YouTube - Puerto Vallarta Fire Dancing I'll keep on hunting...

Oh, I'm so sorry Binzer, I must have missed it! That's wicked that your sis can rock them out... I'm a little teeny in the chest area to give them a try. But we'll see how I feel closer to the day.

Here's a link to all of the submitted photos to Trip Advisor-- there are several of the new suites, which are tough to find. As well as some really tasty shots of the food! There are quite a few (to the tune of about 1800) so take your time. lol Photos of Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa, Puerto Vallarta - Resort Images - TripAdvisor Cheers!

Sexy Bikini Alert! I scoped out a site I found in the SI Swimsuit editions (very helpful resource bTW) and found beachbunnyswimwear.com-- very cute for sexy honeymoon swimwear! This is just a sample-- (my colors are B and W!) https://www.beachbunnyswimwear.com/s...&previewId=290

What a beautiful baby boy you have!! Congrats!

Awesome, I hope that helps you out Lisa! Let me know if you have any luck

Ugh, do I ever hear ya! We went from +15 degrees C. to -28 in three days. BLECH! No wonder we all get so sick here! Tyler's Girl-- I'm coming to visit!! lol

Okay All! FI and I ventured to the mall yesterday to get his ring (Jewels By Maxime's in Market is FANTASTIC by the way-- such great service!) Anyway, I digress, we went into Old Navy and he ended up grabbing his entire outfit AND outfits for all four of his GMs!! Here's a pic of him (pardon the heart face, lol) and his outfit. The GMs will be wearing the exact same pants, but the shirt will be black linen, not white. Linen Pants: $39.95 Linen Shirt: $24.95 (ON SALE!) Getting FI to try something on before he bought it: Priceless!

Kaytee, I hear ya girl! I think I'm going to do the decals, as few of the girls on here have done that. I will likely just personalize each mug for each person (as we only have 33, so it's easy enough) that way it isn't "Wedding specific" but still personal. I ordered the $0.65 ones (blue and red) b/c they were cheapest. I also added decks of cards, Pepto Bismol "2 tab" single packs, and Advil "2 pill" single packs to bump my order over $50. I've actually FINISHED my OOT bags now-- once the order goes through that is... I'll keep you all posted on how they look.

"Hell NO," she

and she said

We are holding ours about three weeks after we all return from the wedding, however that was primarily to accommodate FFIL, as he now lives in Thailand (lovable roaming nomad!) I agree with the girls, 6 months is quite long unless there is a specific reason.

Oh, they also have Spanish English Dictionaries http://www.dollaritem.com/Dollar_Store/productSearch.asp?Action=Search&start=0&SessionID= {D0B17B9B-F0BD-4491-B668-6AD9405B1166}&endL=true The minimum order from the website it $50.00-- but it does appear to be US only.

Peeked back through dollarama.com today looking for bulk travel mugs and VOILA there they were! They stock three types in bulk, ranging in price from $0.95 - $0.65. I believe they ship internationally, and I'm about to put through an order-- so I will soon find out! http://www.dollaritem.com/Dollar_Sto...nID=&endL=true Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!

So FI and I are a little stuck in deciding on our photog. We initially underrated the importance of this service, but after hours of blogging on this FABULOUS site, have realized (thanks to all of you lovely BDW Bloggers) just how important -- not to mention stunning-- photos really are. With that said, we have a restricted budget for this. We have tossed up between Elizabeth Lloyd and Carlos Melnik. I'm looking for people that have used one of these two, or anyone that has any input or suggestions for or against either one. It's crunch time, and I'm VERY undecided! Thanks a million!!!

Hey All! Has anyone had any luck tracking down more pics from Carlos? Mary, thank you so much for posting his info. FI and I are having a really tough time finding a photog. and we're really coming down to the wire...eep!

Congrats Jenn!!! I'm sorry it's so yucky here in AB, but I'm glad you had an amazing two weeks away! Can't wait to see pics!

OMG Binzer, I was just scoping out your pics, and just realized that the last three bikinis are actually being modeled by a good friend of mine. Hilarious! Which website did you get those from?

OMG Andi, you two are too Cute!! FI and I talked a lot about drive-thru wedding, how fun! What a great story! And what a great little "just in case" cream dress!! Congrats!

Suzanne, you're just going to have to keep legal boundaries in mind. For example, you must be IN Mexico for four BUSINESS DAYS before you can legally be married there. It's the same in most of Central America as well. Other than that, We are getting married on a Tuesday, but figured that since it was everyone's "vacay away" a Tuesday is just like a Saturday at home. Good luck deciding!

lol, definitely a good call mummergirl! I actually ordered a 1/2 slip in black for them from the same website-- they were on sale for $19! So grand total: $66.50 Dress: $35 Slip: $19 Shoes: $12.50 (two for 25 Victoria's Secret)

Woo hoo! Well, it was a bit of a battle, but the dresses were ordered this morning! Here it is! They were on sale for --GET THIS-- $34.00 at Urban Outfitters! Perfect for our casual beach soire!
