Okay great! i'm in!

is anyone else getting married in punta cana?

I am pretty much done planning for now!! our mugs/bags are ordered -- dress is being altered!! woot...now I wait! lol...still need to get FI suit, so we are headed to the states this weekend to hopefully find something!!

scary - thunder

Me neither!! And it's a dark rainy day, so I am staying in my pajamas and drinking tea all day!

Can I join? Does it matter what your starting weight is? I want to lose 5 pounds, but I want to be part of the motivation and accountability!!! Let me know!

Just some inside info -- I worked at a tanning salon. We had a girl who worked there who would not tell people how long they should actually go for when they started - she would let the people decide! (not cool as they were really burnt). It depends on your skin type, and as mentioned before you should start anywhere between 4-7 minutes for your first time. It also depends on the strengh of the bed - ones where the max is 20 minutes, people who are fair should start at 4 or 5 minutes. Ones with a max of 10 minutes should start at 3 minutes. It's better to leave the first time and not see a big difference, than get burnt and have to wait to go again. also - regarding tanning lotions they are not needed. They can enhance if they have bronzer, but a lot of people don't understand what that means and when they see bronzer they lather it on EVERY time....then come out orange! haha...All your skin needs is moisture before you go in, so any type of lotion will work. Also - a lot of the tanning lotions they sell at salons are for immediate appearance, so it's actually more like those fake tanners that turn people orange than helping your skin. As long as you put a light moisturizer on your skin before going in, you'll get just as good of a tan!

See I'm not doing a lot of extra stuff -- I'm keeping it super simple, so I actually don't have to plan anything! I wish I had something to distract me, but mugs and bags are ordered - my dress is being altered! tha's about it! lol...Hmmm...I still hope it goes by fast! less than 3 months!

castle - fairy tale.

I'm hoping for a safe return!! Animals can be very strong when they need to be! You did the right thing - people needed to know the kennel location in case the dog is still around there. All the best.

Ahhh!!!!! you girls will be married SOOO soon!!!! omg...so jealous!!! lol.. WWOOOOT! what are your exact days again? how many days will you be there before your wedding date?

athletic: running

love (although not until after the honeymoon! lol) being photographed?

Oh my! That shows how swamped I am with this planning!!! And evident that it's still a concern of mine! So funny.

Ooops! I am not sure if there is a thread or not - I didn't see one come up when I searched. If so, sorry!

We are doing a Symbolic ceremony at the end of June - our guests do not know that we are getting married legally before we go. How have you past brides handled this situation? Was it easy to make it look real, or how did you handle any questions your guests had about legalities. We have family members already asking how it "works" and how it becomes legal. Any tips? Or future brides - how do you plan to handle this? Thanks!!

I have been having wedding dreams that don't go well! haha...like I forgot my dress and D gave me my suitcase at the airport and it was empty!! That I forgot my music, or shoes. That we missed our flight (a lot of flying dreams since I'm terrified :S) haha things like that -- I'm fine while I'm awake, but apparently there's a hidden fear about it that comes out when I'm trying to sleep peacefully!

dislike. oranges?

ooops!!! big green eyes: dark hair

adorable: babies

I'm happy that it's almost the weekend and then Easter!!!!

love wednesdays?

Yeah really!!!! That's awesome you got one that fit you - I am SO excited to get mine back, just to see how it feels once it fits! I'm sitting at 110, but I am only 5'2. I'm tiny, but unfortunately it all sits at my legs/butt. ahha - so I'm not trying to lose weight, but I am definately targeting those areas.

WWWOOO!! Me too!! lol...I'm at 91! soo exciting. Everyone is saying it will go fast, I hope so!

I love it too!!! Gorgeous. I didn't even notice the bra straps until I read about them at the bottom!! haha...it looked great!
