By the weather was looking like rain, so we moved it into the covered Health Bar. Here's a pic, donkey is on the right:

 

This is the picture my WC sent us when we asked for reception spaces! You guys are famous!

Hey ladies!! I'm back again with a packing/luggage question.

How many suitcases/carry ons/etc did you and your now husbands take? Was it a royal pain getting through customs. I've been before and know it all gets xrayed again but i'm just worried about what a hassle it's all going to be.

At this point we will have 3 checked suitcases. He will have computer bag, and a small suitcase carry on. I will have wedding dress, purse and bag of some sort.

It just seems like a TON!!!

Would love to hear how it went for you guys!!

we had a ton going to Mexico. 4 checked suitcases, 1 rollerbag/carry on, his messenger bag, my dress and my shoulder bag (tote size). it was a pain going through the xray, especially because he didn't understand that he'd have to restack them on the cart on the other side, and the customs agent got a little impatient. but other than that, it was no big deal. it's a matter of managing it all and keeping it together. have your receipts with you just in case (and ensure the gift portion doesn't add up to more than $300 each).

Hmmmmmm, receipts........I'm not sure I kept them, but my gifts are very, very minimal. Just the bags with dollar tree stuff and cups. Wonder what will happen if I don't have receipts?

I'm sure you will be fine - you have $600 total between the two of you, and if you have smaller stuff it won't add up to that much. I'd be surprised if they stop you anyway. We both got the green light and kept hauling our wedding crap to the shuttle service lol less than a month to go for you Gail!!!!!

I can't believe it's only a month away. I've been sick going on 4 weeks and finally on some super strong antibiotics to hopefully kill all of those horrible bacteria invading my body so I can get back to getting things done and not sleeping all the time!!! The antibiotic is causing some insomnia, so then my brain goes in to OVERLOAD when I'm laying in bed. Well, I am assuming that's the antibiotic and not my nerves!!! I feel like I still have so much to do and not enough time to do it!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh......

Anywho, I'm getting sooo excited!!!! I got my cute little koozies that I designed. Love them!!!
