Hi Ladies!!!
 

Janine here just checking in! I'm glad to see the little guy is still going strong (thanks clgriffi7 for keeping tracking and posting the update). I'm finally back on here today to catch up on how everyone's planning has been going, look through threads and see how weddings went. I know I have alot of catching up to do. I can't believe AishaB's turn is nearly here...where did the time go? Well congrats to all the newlyweds, welcome to the "Mrs" Club to the soon to be Mrs you're in the home stretch, hopefully your planning is close to finish and you're not in panic mode but "I've done all I can do just ready to get this show on the road and be a mrs already" mode....lol!

Big hugs to all!!!

Hey ladies!  just letting you know that the little guy is on his way (if not there already) to Aisha B.  Sorod1 canceled her destination wedding and gave me AishaB's addey and I sent it last week!  Good luck ladies!

I just wanted to get Janine's Blue Starfish back on the radar.  Right now the little guy is in Cancun at Dreams with Peterpadpixiedust.  The rest of the list of ladies is below.  I am the last on the list after which time the blue guy will have served his 1-year tour of duty and will be heading back to his owner.  Can the rest of the ladies on the list just check in here on the thread to make sure we are all still active and are planning on participating?  THANKS!

Hi Lisa,

I know I am terribly late answering but I am not sure what size vases they used. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hope all is going well with the little guy ladies! To all the recently married brides CONGRATS!!!!! Sorry I have been missing for a while but between nursing school and trying to start a family life has become really really busy! But I'm dropping in now to catch up on things ;-)

You don't have to do anything. When you get married the pastor will give you a copy of your marriage certificate which you take with you and can use to change your passport, driver's license, etc. A formal copy (bearing a gold seal of T&C) will be mailed to our house later (we got ours about a month later). Though the laws differ from State to State your marriage will be recognized, you don't need to go through any additional steps. Hope that answers your question.

Thanks so much ladies for all of the wonderful compliments. I am just glad that I can return the favor and hopefully inspire someone else since so many wonderful brides inspired me through my planning process. 

Thanks ladies, glad I could be of some inspiration!

Wow you DIYed so much, it all came out fab! LOVE your dress!!! Great job!

Lea everything looked beautiful! Loved your dress and that pandora Jamaican bead rocks!!!! I can't wait to see pics from your wedding and hear how your experience was. 

Hi Ladies,

just thought I would check-in to see how the starfish passing is going. By now Lea should be back and the starfish should already be on its way to cookiemunchkin. If anyone wants to be added to this blue starfish list please PM me. I know that I had a few requests a while ago but I believe I answered everyone individually. If I didn't see your request and didn't answer you please just shoot it to me again include your Wedding date, Dates of travel, wedding destination and where you reside.

Thanks

Janine

The Seven Stars is a very beautiful property. My MOH and his partner stayed there while attending our wedding and I had the opportunity to visit them. The hotel is very very nice. 

Bumping....rose ball candles are still available!

Hi ladies to answer your questions the dress was not see-through in the water. The entire dress is lined so even when wet you don't see through it at all. 

I love the bike!!!! Very hot pics! Niiiiiiice!

Your pics were gorgeous Erika!!!!! Congrats!!!! I just realized I haven't posted my pics yet....pics coming soon ladies!

$20 which includes shipping to 26501

I loved your planning thread! Love the idea of the map...very clever. Look forward to seeing pics from your wedding. I am scouting DR for hotels for my birthday in February. Would love to hear what you though about Excellence. I stayed at their property in Playa Mujeres and loved it. Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to the forum and congrats. You'll definitely get lots of ideas and tips here. Good luck and happy planning!

Thanks Brandy! Thanks Karen! Thanks Lisa!

Karen I did work out leading up to my wedding. I usually did but I bumped my workouts up from just 4 days a week to 6 cause I knew I was doing the BD shoot. I will be doing one post baby (still not sure if its a great idea). I think it'll be fun to have another goal to get back in shape for and I think it'll help make me feel sexy again. I'm not pregnant yet.....just thinking to the future though...lol!

Candles no longer available.

Still available:

• 3 scoops with purple beaded handles
• 1 photobooth sign
• True Love by Lenox Two Piece Dessert Set
• Maxius On Demand Hair care kit

I'm not sure if you would say it runs big. I know in the bust area it was a little loose for me (I'm 34C and had to stuff socks under my boobs to make it look perky and full...my poor little boobs). The dress is a sort of jersey material (its lined) so it definitely stretches.

I got them on ebay from a seller called cgishopsonline

Thanks girl! I'll take a compliment like that any day...lol!

I know I have been missing from the forum alot but I thought I would post a few teasers from my BD shoot. Ileana was of course fabulous to work with. I wish I had gotten more "artistic shots", like of just my legs or just cleavage or had more to work with in terms of where the pics were taken (the majority were taken in the bed, would have preferred some in a chair or standing by a window)....in all I love the pics, but after having done it I now think that if I were to do it over again I would have more direction and come up with more creative things the next time. This is not to take away anything from Ileana's fabulous work...she is amazing!!! Without further banter her are the pics. Sorry if they pics are large. I tried to minimize them in my photobucket. 

Dress still for sale!!
