I need to know my guest count so i can know the final bill of the wedding at least 2 months before and i also noted that no bookings will be accepted after March 14. And if anyone has any problems with these requirements than they don't need to come! HA! Is that too mean? Not too mean at all I love it, I may actually do the same thing!!!!!

Welcome to all the new brides on this thread!!! Sammy, my FI already got his suit from Express - it is a light Khaki. What about your FI - what color is he going with?

I am considering going to Boston for this...so I too am interested in what others thought.

love it!!!!

Congrats! Happy Planning!

As for the photography not sure what I'm going to do yet. I would like to bring a photographer with us that way they can take photos for the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail and TTD. But I also have to stick to the budget.

Several girls have suggested going to the courthouse & having the judge omit the vows & rings and sticking just to the legalities. This way it doesn't seem quite so much like a 'wedding ceremony' at the courthouse. That maybe the best option if you are going to have your big day in Mexico!

MY wedding OUR marriage" ---I love that :-)

I'm getting married at SGOR in April 2011

Even though I don't want to, I'm on my way to the gym now.

so I have lost 19lbs so far I still have about 10lbs to go. I feel great. But I think now i'm just overly conscious of everything I do and eat. I don't think that such a good thing.

I'm so happy about this long weekend. I need the break.

beautiful!

As long as it takes you to plan the wedding - even if you are not initially even planning. It took me over 1 year to even start planning because of whatever reasons. I think it's what works for you.

Are any of you sending out thank you for booking letters or anything like that. I was trying to find a thread on this topic, if you know of one please send me the link.
