I am expecting 16 guests for a total of 18 including us. As of right now, our reception is the ocean terrace, but I am open to other locations now that it's such a small number of people (I originally quoted for 40.) I am not using the resort for flowers. I am actually making my own bouquets. (I am not a very big flower person anyway).

Hi! I actually decided to go with Juan Navarro. He used to be part of their onsite photography a couple of years back and still has a working relationship with Maroma. He doesn't get charged outside vendor fees. His work looks awesome. I haven't signed on to this site in quite some time. But I am getting down on my countdown..May 23 is my day! About 50 something days to go. I will probably be posting more frequently now that it's getting closer, so ask away!

I ended up using wordpress, and bought a theme and customized it to fit what we wanted. www.angelaplusbill.com

They have weddings pretty much everyday which is why it can take Cecilia a couple of days to respond. But you are definitely in great hands with her! Let me know if you have any questions I can assist you with. You don't happen to have any pictures do ya?

Ok ladies...I have to admit, I am way behind. I never actually got started. Maybe today is the day.. I signed up for a simple 7k on Thanksgiving Days o I have to start running again anyway. Agh, so unmotivated

this is actually what I am doing for my wedding! I'm ordering grey and white striped skirts for my BMs, and a yellow and white striped skirt for my MOH..all wear wear white tops..TBD

Ok, so I wasn't able to start on Monday like i planned. I had an unforeseen project pop up and I worked all evening/night on it. And yesterday evening was a mess of catching up from the night before. I need to stop making excuses and start. Today I plan on doing a 3mile run. It's something!

Ugh! I need to get on a good diet plan bc I want to ACCELERATE the results. My wedding sistill almost 6 months away,but I always feel like "oh, this one time won't hurt". But "this one time" is like EVERY OTHER DAY !!Lol I did a 5 day juice cleanse that I really think jump started my weight loss. I have lost about 20 lbs this year, 7 alone from that 5 day cleanse. Maybe that would work for you

I love this! This is great. I am in

Hi girls! Didn't update all of you on my half marathon. As you can tell..I am alive, lol. I did it in 2:37, and my goal was under 3 hours, so yay!! I beat my goal. I had to take some time off from working out/running because my body was definitely mad at me for putting it through 13.1 miles of practically ALL HILLS. (Baltimore is one of the hilliest half marathons/marathons if anyone is wondering about doing it..) I planned on starting T25 this week, but I got in a little over my head with my halloween costume, and I've had to dedicate all of my extra time to sewing on lots of singular ivy leaves, haha. So hopefully I will start Saturday morning! Keep up the good work ladies!

I'm actually going to start T25 next week. I was waiting for my half marathon training to be done with. The race is Saturday so I can finally start doing other workouts.

I can't believe this is the last week before my half marathon. WHOA!

Anyone get the cigar roller or a photo booth? If so how was your experience? Also, we're going to be having a bonfire the night before. Any details, specifics, pictures and suggestions? Cecilia was pretty cryptic! Thanks all! ~ Lena I'm doing a bonfire the night before as well! Haven't worked out details either. I can update you as I do. When is your wedding?
