Congrats on 20 years of marriage, you'll surely find a few good ideas here. Welcome to the forum and happy planning!

I voted number two because I think it is the most flattering, it fits your shape and just has something the other two are missing. Good luck!

Girl are you crazy...don't you see everyone in awe that you pulled it off. You are beyond awesome when it comes to hair.

Danyelle I know modelling is your thing but are you sure you don't want to be a stylist? Girl that came out superb!

MysTea this is too crazy I just noticed the beds in your photo again and we have the same beds!!! LMAO! I didn't know either of them were going to be so small when we got them. Bailey was the runt of his litter and so was Mia. They were both left over from their litters cause no one wanted them and we just fell in love with them. They are both such a joy...Mia can be a little minx at times but I love her all the same. Sunstarsmoon: can't wait to see pics!!!

If working out at the end of the day is too hard then try switching to the beginning of the day. You'll be surprised how energized you'll feel. Then of course you may face the factor of how to motivate yourself enough to roll out of bed and just do it. I have to agree with NaM once you start after about the first month or two it becomes a habit and you won't even realize. Another way of approaching it is to start gradually, after having her baby my bff kept the extra weight on for a year plus. One day she promised herself to do 1 hour of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training. She kept the promise for a week, then kicked up a notch for the next week, then the next and so on. She also switched it up so she didn't get bored. Cardio was riding a few miles, or playing tennis, or taking a cross training class, or spinning. Always something different. It also helps to have a friend with you. I love to workout so I bargained with her she would bear me taking her to yoga if I went with her to workout. But the initial motivation/push has to start with you.

I was going to suggest "You Lift Me Up" by Josh Grobin (don't know why that came to mind I haven't picked my songs yet), but now that I am humming it its kind of sad.

I'm familiar with Bikram but not Moksha...is Moksha the hotter of the two. I have a friend who does Bikram (I only do Power, Hatha and Dharma Mittra) and she told me its like Bikram but the room is hotter. Is that Moksha?

Congrats and welcome to the forum Megan. Happy planning!

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Nikki I can't help with your decision but perhaps by searching in the DR forum and connecting with other DR brides they can help. Good luck with your decision and happy planning!

Thats so funny you should mention that when I first announced we were having a destination wedding I had three separate friends say they can't make it they would be sending checks.

AJ Mitchell your dress turned out really great! I don't see any flaws...at least not from the pics. But I did notice the gathering once you mentioned it. You are gonna look fabulous. Which etsy seller did you use for your veil?

Your bags looks great! I wish I knew how to sew. Makes me want to buy a machine and teach myself. Great job!

Hang in there, it'll get better.

Hello Nicole, congrats and welcome to the forum. There are quite a few Riviera Maya brides here that can help and lend advice. Good luck and happy planning!

Im not sure about the jewelery situation...I think I will look at his stepmoms and if she has something I will just wear that. I need something with both pearls and crystals so Im not sure she has what I am looking for. As far as invitations, I sent them out last week. But get this...I put the stamps on the left side! I have no clue what I was thinking! I didnt even notice until my mom called me and asked me if it was intentional. I freaked for a bit but Im better now. Im trying not to be a bridezilla! I got these great customized stamps from zazzle.com. they turned out great. I will have to take pics and post them for everyone since I got the idea from here! Ooooh yes I wanna see pics. I have seen some great stamps from zazzle. I thought about getting one but decided not to.

I'm 2 years older than him but like Carly I get carded everywhere we go because I look younger.

Great find. I always seem to find deals on Romantic Travel Planning and Booking at LuvTrip - Honeymoons, Anniversaries, Romantic Getaways and Ideas for Romance

Thank you so much if you could help me i would be so grateful Jonesr I tried searching your shoe and could not find it in patent pink and your size anywhere. I did find it in black in your size but not pink. Sorry.

That one I have never seen it has both settings in one. All the fiskars ones that I have seen were either 1/2 or 1/4 inch. Thanks for sharing!!

MysTea we both have a Yorkie and YorkiePoo!!!!!
