R&DVolz2011

I am dying here....... I am leaving for Mexico to get married in 3 weeks and am FREAKING OUT!!!!!!! At first I thought it was pre-wedding jitters but now I am not so sure. We have a great relationship, truly, but I just can't help but feel like something is missing. It's not my fiance's fault, he loves me very much as do I him. But there is no passion. None. I hear that things cool off a bit before the wedding and that is normal, but I feel like they are ice cold and have been for a long time. It's not him, it's me. I do not feel even one small spark of attraction to him ... I am daydreaming about other people, I cringe when he tries to touch me, all those small annoyances seem amplified and make me want to poke my eyes out. I totally realize that sounds so b*tchy I can hardly believe I am typing it...but I just have to let it out....... I don't feel excited, I feel panic. Dread almost. I feel sick to my stomach all the time. Can I be with him for the rest of my life? When people ask me if I'm ready and if I'm excited I avoid the question and say I'm nervous and change the subject. To top it all off, I went through the worst destination wedding TA company ever....granted, the woman I worked with did a nice job, but we had to sign a contract to get credit for room nights booked to help with the private functions. We arrive in less than 3 weeks...under the terms of the contract, if we cancel now we must pay 100% of the room night revenue lost. There are 14 rooms in our contract...If we estimate 2 grand per room, that is $30 THOUSAND DOLLARS. I do not have 30 grand. Not to mention if people decide to cancel their trip they will all be out hundreds of dollars each if they didn't buy trip insurance. Including us because we stupidly didn't buy insurance. This isn't just about me, as we are in this together... I want to tell him and I finally worked up the nerve tonight. Then I lost it. Now he is going to be gone for the next 3 days for this bachelor party.... What do I do???????????

I found mine at the Dollar Tree - a box of quart sized bags for a buck! Not sure if you have a dollar store near you but I would suggest checking it out )

I feel your pain...I did the same thing only with maraca tags - I guess the size of the business card was okay but the font I had was soooo small! I had to re-order the same exact item twice, the second time with bigger font. Bummer. UGH - what a pain, sorry Sharlie! Hopefully you were able to get one of their killer deals so it wasn't too pricey....

Great Job - Super cute! I really like that idea!

Nice! I just tried searching online for aloe vera the other day and had a really hard time finding any for a decent price, and then of course there is shipping on top of that! I am sooo going to Target over my lunch hour tomorrow! Thanks BeachBridein11!!! Great find!

Hi Ladies! I am getting married on April 11th at the MP....It's coming up so fast, I can't believe it!!! I have a question about what the 2010 brides gave for tips to their MP wedding coordinator, and any others that should receive tips....How much did you give and what is considered appropriate? How do you know? I want to make sure I give the right amount because so far my WC is wonderful! Or -- if you have a link to a different thread that has these answers I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

I'm really impressed, you have such great ideas! And such neat ideas with the cooler bags and the scavenger hunt cameras - I just love it!

Wow - great job! Looks fantastic, your guests will love them!!!

Oh no!! I am so sorry....I don't know what to say!?!?! That really stinks. I think if I were in your shoes I would probably just order some online and pay the money for fast shipping. If your bags happen to show up before you leave, you can always return the '2nd choice' ones and you're only out the cost of the expedited shipping...

That is great! I wanted to order mugs and then missed out on the 20% discount they had the other day....Soooo excited for 25% off! Yayyyy!!

Wow - your bags are great! And your welcome books....AMAZING!! Fantastic job- your guests will love it!

Adorable! I vote for Picture #2, the one with color.

Wow, you did such a great job! I am waiting for some purple pearls to try and make my BM's bracelets and earrings too- you give me hope that DIY jewelry really can turn out beautifully! Yayyy!

Wonderful job- everyone will love them!!

Interesting....I'm definitely going to check this out!
