I'm shocked that after 33-34 years and having kids she would be acting the way she is.  It stinks that you're losing a friend you've had for years, but it is true that people just grow apart as they get older.  I actually "departed" lol from a friendship a couple years ago with a girl I've been friends for close to 15 years as well.  She was still stuck in that high school mentality and I just didn't care or need that anymore. LOL Honestly, can't really say I ever really missed her either.  Still stinks to lose a friend though!  Best wishes to you as always!

I think unfortunately that most of us have gone through something like that with a friend at some point. 

 

So I have a question, my FSIL got married last October at the Beach Palace and her and her husband kept making comments about how they don't think a full length gown is appropriate for a destination wedding.  I haven't decided what kind of dress I want but that comment still sticks out in my head and I am afraid that it is going to influence my choice.  How do you get that niggling thought out of your head?

Don't let anyone influence what YOU want. Its not their wedding, its yours. I know in your mind, you had a perception of the way you wanted to look on the day of your wedding. Don't let that thought be swayed. Stay true to yourself.

Thanks!  

 

Okay ladies it is cold and rainy in Milwaukee and I'm feeling rather blah.  What aspect of your planning are you currently working on?

 

We are working on our MIB invitations.  We are working on aging the map invites so they look like they have been traveling for quite a while.  We are also trying to come up with a scent for the bottles.  I wish I could find a coconut scent but Michaels didn't have any.

I oredered my raffia fans from http://www.koyalwholesale.com/ I bought 2 dozen and it came out to $30.00 (that includes shipping).

I'm very happy with them. People say they come in different sizes.... but they look great to me.

 

My girls and I have decided on the style dress... color swatch is on it's way ... hopefully the bridesmaid dresses will be ordered within the week! yahoo.

As for AHR- my boss offered me his land to use... I'll check on that this week as well. It is all falling into place.

That's awesome Mishi!  It really does seem that everything is falling into place.   And See, yeah it is totally crappy out today.

I found my Aloe at Target today so I am happy about that it was one of the final pre OOT bag items that i wanted to have in hand.  So now the rest is just the run stuff, like mugs and the bags themselves etc...I had been buying things when I found a deal, so I am pretty set now on kit stuff.  

 

My goal is to have everything done by January 1 so that I can enjoy the last 4 months without too much stress except for packing and the final details.

I'm currently working on my menu, escort cards, and program fans.  Almost done and about to upload to vistaprint!  Yesterday I met up with my MoH and BM and we started planning my bachelorette party!  So fun!!!

 

On the down side, still trying to figure out what to do with all the men's pants...  :(

 

merrylee - have you started dress shopping yet?  Did your FSIL wear a short gown?

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
