My mom is making my dress, so it hasn't been started yet. LOL I hope between now and January he doesn't see it.

love: red hearts

Me and FI went to T&C in early 2008 and he had service with his blackberry on the sprint network. I would call your service provider and see if you can use it as roaming. You might not have to make any additional purchases if you have the right kind of phone. Good luck!

Almost forgot, pixiedust, Congrats on your contract!

FutureMrsYak, I like that. I knew there was a reason I liked that date. The websites say no rooms available until they actually post the 2011, I wouldn’t worry about “no rooms available”. Linhy, Thanks for checking prices. I’m going to look when I get home. I plan on getting a package deal through the resort. I want to use that as leverage to maybe get some freebies down the road. Michelle2011, I like your idea about wearing your dress around the house to do house work. I’m definitely going to find a reason to wear it more than once. It looks like I might have about 10 people at our wedding.

These are great photos! Keep them coming.

I agree! Unless they are double duty as a favor I wouldn't do them. They are a cute detail.

Wow! You did a great job!

Congratulations! Welcome aboard! We are getting married in Cancun. Check out the other threads to get an idea. It will be hard to make a decision there are alot of choices out available. Happy Planning!

I'm so far behind everyone else. I'm so busy with buying a home, selling my current one and grad school. Whoa! I promised FI I wouldn't bother him too much about the wedding, but now I'm wishing I didn't promise him that. I do have the contract signed at the resort, so I'm happy about that. I need to get cracking on our website, so I can send the STD's. I like the free postcards, that so in budget. I’m also using the hotel photographer along with Nicyx and cjboarder13. I’m hoping like Nicyx that the family and friends coming along will take some awesome pictures too. I’m not a huge photograph person, so the basics works for me, plus the dreadful budget! I’m hoping my WC will provide some samples of their work. I’ve seen Moon Palace photogs, but no Sun Palace ones.

This was done by Rev. T.D. Jakes on that movie, "Not Easily Broken." I found the cords on this neat website. God's Knot - Cord of Three Strands I love this! I've never heard of it before. I'm like you, I don't wear jewelry, but I absolutely love my engagement ring. My FI is definitely not wearing a wedding band, so this is a great alternative to bond our marriage with God. I love it! I can't wait to talk to FI about it to incorporate in our ceremony.

We thought about having a New Years Eve wedding also, actually it was my choice date, but he picked 1-11-11, so I changed my mind. I a New Years Eve wedding would be cool!

That's wonderful you are helping your sister! Happy planning!

need motivation: packing

Welcome aboard! You find a lot of helpful information on this site. I was definitely convinced that a destination wedding was for me after reading the threads and looking at the beautiful pictures. Happy Planning!

Mine isn't finished but I will definitely post my link soon. I was going to do mywedding.com, but now I'm considering weddingwire.com. I'm a big Martha Stewart fan, so weddingwire might win.

Congratulations! Welcome to the board!

Linhy, I would definitely find another travel agent. Customer service is a pet peeve of mine and if she doesn't want your business I would move on. It may seem like its too early, but it isn't, most people take a year to plan their weddings. I'm like you, I want to start planning now.

Your pics look great! I love the jewerly!

I love this tutorial. I'm playing around with what I've created so far to make our monogram.

I've been to tons of weddings and the only favors I kept were wine glasses. When it comes to favors you want to make sure people will keep them and that they can fit into anyone's decor in there households. Anything too cutesy and kitchy will probably be thrown away or stuffed in a box.

Welcome aboard! I love this site also. There are so many great ideas!

I hadn't thought about pre-marital counseling because we aren't members of a church, but I think it would be good for us to do. I feel that counseling works if people are honest and aren't trying to make themselves look good.

Wow! That must be so exciting. Love the pics!
