Maybe it's to help me feel feminine after all my mom chores, but I love these heels. My mom said the nude wouldn't work for the wedding, but I'm not sure. Are they too much?

I wanted a shoe that will work for the "blue" in the "something old, something new..." I'm keeping things a little on the casual side, too. These are super cute! Will the nude blend in with your skin tone? I don't think it matters because its the flower that catches the attention, not the strap.

Thanks for the review! So would you say that upon arriving at the resort we should check in first with Ana? I'm getting sooo excited!

I just bought PSE 8 and I have Windows 7 64bit. can I do graphic design stuff on this or is it just for photoshopping pictures?? I'm wanting to redesign my logo and work on some welcome stuff but I think I should've gotten another program. HELP!

100 days to go for the big day in Mexico! My legal day is next Friday... So far it's looking like just 20 of us are going, although I only have confirmation from 10, and that's NOT including FI's parents because they HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING!! sorry, had to vent a bit! But here's my question: since there are so few people coming now I can stretch my OOT bag budget, but would it be tacky to do paper gift bags? I figure what's inside is more important and some people might be like "ugh, another bag" what's yall's opinion? Yes I said "yall's..." I'm from the South!

I love these! Is there a way to change the color of the swirl, not just the font? OR can you tell me where you got the swirl from?

I love him. I do. He is the kindest, sweetest, most laid back person on the earth!! But he's a little needy... I have gotten used to him always wanting my company for errands and asking my input on decisions, etc. I am very independent and I try to be more inclusive of him on things, especially the wedding planning. He actually likes this stuff, but sometimes I want to strangle him because his "help" is actually NO help! Me: Babe, what colors do you think we should go with? Him: Blue Me: What kind of blue? Blue and what? Him: mmm, i dunno. Light blue. *obviously someone hasn't seen that there a gazillion shades of blue under the sun and thusly a gazillion possible color combos Me: Babe, look what I've been working on! (I proudly show him a rough draft of a program for a ceremony) Him: What's this? Me: A program! What do you think? I'm still working on the wording for this ...blah blah blah... but what do you think? Him: It's fine. Me: I know it's "fine," that's why I'm showing it to you. But what do you THINK?? Him: It's fine. or this one: Me: Babe, I'm picking up my dress tomorrow but I'm going to put it in the spare closet so no peeking, okay?! Him: Whatev, why not our closet? Me: Uhh, because there's not enough room... Him: Well, I dunno why you got such a big dress anyway when you knew we were getting married on the beach. Me: Babe, it's the one that I fell in love with. It called to me, I had to get it! Just make sure you don't look at it, okay? Him: Whatever... FML... I'd rather be doing this alone!! With his money, though.

like! Trying to be considerate and get FI's input on DIY projects but him only saying "it's fine"

Thanks, Boo!

I have a logistics question: For those doing chair sashes, how are you getting them from the ceremony to the reception? Are the same chairs being used or is someone untying them from the ceremony and retying them at the reception? Or are you just getting enough to cover ceremony AND reception chairs? Cathy

I read the reviews that said alot of people didn't use them at the resorts but for the price I figured it was a good item they could take home and re-use and a cute souvenir. I mean who couldn't use extra cups? I might be interested in going in on bags if they were a good price. I'm trying to stay within $3-$5 for the bags and I figured the closer we get to fall, the more they will be clearanced. Leah got these bags with nothing printed on them... check them out and see what you think! I like them but it's a better deal when you order more.

Thanks all x Here is the email for Adventure Photos. Anel has been very prompt with her email replies and clarification. Hope this helps! [email protected]

Hope it helps! cathy

Shots of our guests arriving at the hotel and meeting up with us. We have family and friends that we see only once a year or less that are coming to our wedding. Our cocktail hour with the Mexican trio, our excursion to Coba, me getting ready, FI getting ready, candid shots of our guests and the kids, awesome sunset pics, all of us getting down at the reception... A TTD session at the beach or cenote The rights to all of the pics an amazing photobook of the weekend cd with all kinds of enhancements/effects to our pics... sadly, all we have is 90 mins with our photog and 50 photos. 50 photos of our whole night?!!!

My FI watched a few of Season 1 with me but it was kinda cheesy, luckily he hung in there and became as addicted as I was by the end of season 2!! He does a really good Bill impression and always bugs me about what's going to happen because I've read all the books!

My TA told me that Ana was supposed to get an assistant last week (I think she said they have 300+ weddings booked) so maybe your dreams will now be about how SMOOTHLY everything is running!!
