JOSIE

Happy soon to be anniversary Desihue :) Our legal day is 7-17! Congrats on the awesome workouts. I finally reached a point monday where I said "I've had enough!" after seeing my highest number ever on the scale - 170. I devoted myself to cardio workouts every AM. I'm doing great and feeling REALLY motivated!!! Monday I did 6 miles on the eliptical, and yesterday and today I did 5....burning over 300 cals & eating healthy. I'm down to 166 already and its only been 3 days. I think, if I keep it up, I can be where I want to be for the wedding! It's been getting easier everyday too

I put both our names. Do you live together? We used vista print and got these for like 5 dollars total - for over $300 of them. Loved their website and you can customize the labels! http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/gateway...Print&ad=exact

I think if it's a symbolic/religious wedding, the minister will speak in english, but if it's a civil wedding they will speak in spanish, and I believe your wedding coordinator will translate it. there's some videos on youtube of riu palace mexico/riviera maya weddings. YouTube - Blanchard Wedding - Riu Palace Riviera Maya - RPRM (symbolic) I haven't watched this video, I don't have the heart to spoil it too much.. YouTube - mistercobb's Channel - RPM (Civil) I love you already! Thanks for all the great info :)

I chose the Caprice package because I am hoping for around 50 guests but now want to change my mind to the Royal package (I think the # of guests listed on the package only applies to the cake and wine toast- but correct me if I'm wrong) so hopefully that will go over ok. Also, does anyone know if you can get a script of what the minister is going to say during the ceremony, or can you give him some ideas of what you would like said? and is it in English?? I think the # in the package also applies to the ceremony set up Glad you liked the STD's there are SO many cute ideas on here. I just went with what was the easiest.

I love these Not sure how expensive they are though! Mishka Designs' Blog: A Maraca By Any Other Name...

Wow. You were a BEAUTIFUL BRIDE!!! Love your dress Congrats!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

I just requested the wedding date too! I got the Royal Package, does anyone know what kind've bouquets they offer in the package? Does anyone know what they're going to be giving as wedding favors? I was thinking about maracas or just getting them all in Mexico, but my only fear is that I won't find anything I like. Very unlikely, but you never know what could happen. Josie, I love your magnets. They're super fun, and different! I have 70 pages to catch up on! XD Hi June - I did the Royal Package too Here is a link to the boquet options courtesy of Tylers Girl RIU Weddings Playa del Carmen Mexico ; I LOVE THE IDEA OF MARACAS!!!!!!! I want to do them too! I'll probably buy them before hand, because I won't want to risk it down there! Thats just me though Thanks for the compliment!

hmmm.... Personally I don't think it's up to you, it sounds like it would be really complicated & stressful to try and set that up for people staying at all different places. I assume, your guests know it's their responsibility - but thats just me!

Should I change them into bmp or is there another way? If you go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and create a photo sharing log in - you upload your pics and it will generate an "image code" that you copy and paste so that the pics show up!

B2B- TylersGirl - She is so helpful, supportive & sweet!!! Mrs. - DanielleNDerek - She's so responsive & always gives great advice

Let me know if they request any deposit from you- I personally would feel better that my date and time won't get double booked if I could put down a deposit. I haven't decided on STD's- I have seen some really cute passport ones on this forum, but Ill probably do something much easier such as a postcard or magnet. And I'm not planning on taking engagement photos so they might just be beach themed... Desiree- 1 month to go!!! So exciting! You should try magnet street - Product Type: Save the Date Magnets They have beach themes and their website is so easy to use. You can upload a pic or personalize the fonts & change colors right there on the screen to see what the STD's would look like! I used them for mine: The white background you see on mine is an insert card where i put a bunch of additional info! The magnet held it up on the fridge, people loved them!

love your pics!!!!!!!!! They are amazing Congrats!

Love them! They turned out amazing!!!

I don't dislike Theresa, but does anyone else think her hair looks like a wig?! It's so weird. I think it's because her hairline is so low. It bugs the hell out of me. hilarious!!!!!!!!! I always think the same thing!!!!!

Totally valid vent!!!! We have all been through this!!! Damn Men! Can't live with em, can't live without em!

I would LOVE to go to a Dave and Busters AHR!!!!!! I love that place and i think that's a GREAT idea!

Wow!!! You are the cutest couple ever Pics are amazing!!!!!!!!! Congrats

Aww - hate to hear this! I'd be so sad! I hope the other girls' suggestions work. Keep us posted!!!!!!!!

5 miles on the elipitical this AM....down 4 lbs since sunday...THANK GOD!

Darcy - That is a tough one Do you even want to mend things with her, or are you past that point? My gut tells me there is something behind her actions and maybe its worth it to lay it all out there and tell her (in a nice way) how you've been feeling and that you're hurt by her actions.......ask if everything is OK with her or if she is upset with you? But if you truly feel like it's not going anywhere and you don't see mending things or wanting to maintain a close relationship with her in the future, then I wouldn't waste your time with it!

Megan - You are so cute!!! you look beautiful and will be a stunning bride!! LOVE THE DRESS!

I did 6 miles on the eliptical this AM Woo hoo!

I love it!!! It's SO adorable!! Congrats & Happy belated birthday!! I finally brought my scale over and no weight loss yet.......but I did 6 miles on the eliptical this morning & feeling great. Took the weekend to get organized and am working on developing meal plans as we speak! woo hoo!

I'm missing a lot Can't find the time to go online much on weekends! Lisa - I love the GMs & BMs attire. They look adorabe & bright & colorful together. Perfect for a DW!
