*Jen* OPPRN

Hey Josie - well I have to say first off you are the cutest couple - and he is likely breathing a sigh of relief that you don't shop or anything else that could leave him in debt again...My FI is the same - he was left with a load of debt that she had incurred - but the there was alot of joint stuff that he got left with - guh - anyway - I think you likely are comparing yourself to one of those Paris Hilton type girls? Slutty and useless?? LOL - This helps me realize how stupid I have been in thinking about the ex I have to deal with...

LOL - LOVE it...we are changing the date by a few months tho - we rae going to get married on our 4 year anniversary and it gives us a little more time to save money for the big day Ladies - I thank-you so much for your input - ex's totally suck - I was never like this with my ex-husband - and he and I remain friends because he is not being an ass*ole - I don't know why the laws dictate the amount of money - I think my FI got screwed but what do I know - his lawyer basically told him to take the deal and run - some deal - leaves him with $50 every two weeks for the next couple of years RIDICULOUS!!!! Anyway, I likely wouldn't care about anything his ex does if she wasn't such a &*$%&()*#*^ - words I won't even type - Josie I will check out your link for sure - Thanks again ladies!

Thanks Josi and Kat I appreciate your kind words Yours Truly - she does have more money b/c she is getting all of my FI money - as for personailty - phoney b*tch - body - yeah not so much - I was having a moment when I was looking at my FI during another time of his life and I felt a little insecure - not feeling that way anymore so I think I have it in "perspective"

Hi everyone sorry I haven't posted - we keep changing our mind - Crystal to answer your question about Antigua it was the water/beach that did it for me - I am a total beach person so when I saw the gorgeous beach I was in love We are still undecided though :S

See - you girls are great - I knew it was being stupid - you are right - gut reaction to seeing the wedding pictures - they both looked good on their wedding day - but they are not the same people they were then - obviously or I would not be in the picture - and with the DW - that is a different as it gets Thanks for the input ladies - I feel better already - jsut needed to get it out since it was bugging me so much. I agree - he wouldn't have a clue about the material LOL

Okay so today I was at my future FIL's house as the family is getting the house ready to be sold (FIL is elderly and unwell) - Today my fiance's daughter came over to go through some things and found her parents wedding album....so of course out of curiousity (sp) I want to see the pictures - now granted it was a long time ago - and he is 16 years older than I am so I was a kid when he married her. But here is the problem - the wedding gown was made of chiffon - my gown that I have half paid for is chiffon - now this is the stupid part - it is bugging me to the point where I am thinking I want a different dress - as a matter of fact I want a dress that has colour in it so that my dress is completely different. I know it is likely dumb to think this way but I can't seem to help it, I absolutely do not like his ex-wife () she has caused nothing but grief for us and when I saw the dress and realized the material was the same I was like huh - isn't THAT special :S

Thanks Me too please - I am considering Aruba as well and would love to hear what other have to say

Hi ladies - just wondered if anyone has looked at this resort as an option?

LOL - you made me laugh about the red or white wine LOL - hehehehhe true Canadian girl you are!!

Sun Palace looks gorgeous too - I just love the beach on the main Cancun strip it is so stunning - the pictures will be amazing!!

You look awesome - that dress fits you like a glove - well done!!!

Looking forward to your review Katken - enjoy your big day and your honeymoon!!! I just showed FI the pic's of Le Blanc and he says it looks very nice LOL - Mind you I have shown him a million different places so for him they are all blending together - as he says "they all look nice" LOL

Your pictures are beautiful - congratulations

I wouldn't even worry about it - she may not even get pregnant - and even if she did I would have to say it shouldn't make a difference and you should be happy for her :S

I just visited there for a few weeks - it was really nice - I only stayed in Glasgow the night before I flew home though. As for booking - no we are waiting until about 6 months before - we are eloping so it is just us and maybe a couple of friends if they want to come - otherwise just us - and hopefully we can pick up someone to be witnesses for us LOL - Hopefully you will get to book soon!!

Thank-you both for the info - good to know - I hope it won't be a big pain in the butt because I am totally in love with Le Blanc

Looking forward to it Mrs D. - wow you are coming from a long way away - where in Scotland are you? I was there and stayed in Auchtermuchty (sp) in 1998 - along with a few nights in Edinburgh and Fife

Well - since I finally decided the Le Blanc was the place (still have to throw it by FI) I thought I would start a thread - I hope there will be many of us who can share with each other our big wedding days to come!!!

OMG you look aawesome - the pic's are gorgeous - can't wait to see more!!

We can't decide either - but FI just smiles and nods at me because I keep changing my mind - I am now going to go to him with pictures of Le Blanc resort because it looks simply gorgeous - so here is to a good decision to be made for you and me

We are looking at LeBlanc now too - I love Mexico and FI has never been before - this resort looks stunning and I think it would be an amazing treat for him as he hasn't been on a vacation in 20 years - I am extremely excited at the prospect of it - he is going to roll his eyes at me over changing my mind yet again LOL

Hi Shellk - thanks for the info. - I do have a TA - but because it is still 18 months away I haven't talked to her about it yet - But I have fallen in love with Le Blanc on the Cancun strip and if the paperwork wasn't going to be a huge hassle then I would consider Mexico

Hi everyone - so I had written off Mexico due to the paperwork issue - However, because i love Mexico so much I wonder if any of you could let me know how much is involved with the paperwork and translation thing - who does the translations? Is it a hassle if you have been married before and are now divorced? Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance

Just wondering if anyone else has considered this resort - I am pretty much sold - I am a bird lover and it is situated right beside a bird sanctuary - this place is ridiculously expensive though - but I keep thinking - why not - 2 weeks of paradise is worth it right Any comments would be great - here is the link if you are interested in checking it out. Galley Bay Resort & Spa Antigua - Most Exotic Hideaway Caribbean Beach Resort

Wow - that is outrageous - maybe going with another resort is a better idea - at least that way I can do my own thing - or get married off the resort - I am nervous about photography - the last thing I want is crappy pictures!
