LOL! RN, keep in mind I have to spend $3000 on airfare alone, and another $4500 in villa rental for the week.

The actual wedding itself (minus the travel / vacation aspect of it) will only be about $2,500. My dress only cost $120 (CDN!) for the pattern and fabric.

RN: I would have loved to have a bigger wedding, not a SUPER fancy, but something where I had time to get my hair done, a tiered cake, real flowers and have it all about my husband and me. My wedding, my BIL managed to make it all about him and what a hard time he was having with his little brother getting married....blah blah blah blah.

RN, Karen, oh, you are counting the honeymoon costs in with the wedding? Well, that is a whole different box of crayons!

RN, you should have seen some of these cakes! A Sylvia Weinstein cake was shown in two. They were all multi-tiered. Sylvia actually personally accompanied the cakes and ensured they were put together properly. And I can't tell you how many of them had not one wedding dress, but 2. And many were custom made for them! One Indian bride's father was a jeweler and had all her jewelry custom-made, too. There were two Indian weddings featured; each bride had 4+ outfits -- because their ceremonies extend over a week. Their outfits were incredible!

RN, HP, not really... the wedding IS the honeymoon, kinda sorta. Seven people, plus us, are heading down to Belize. We're paying about 70% total and our guests will pitch in the other 30%.

RN, well how cool is that, Karen?!!! Fantastic! So how are you going to do pictures? Is a friend videotaping/taking shots, or do you have someone in Belize hired to do them?

RN, both, actually. I'm hiring a photographer and a videographer from Belize to do the big day for us. We're giving each of our guests a 36-frame disposable camera to be used at their discretion over the duration of the trip, and hopefully this will get some candid shots of the Moms out and about together, or my bro and his bro splashing in their snorkel gear together, that sort of thing. Everyone will give that film back to us at the end of the trip. And then of course, between the nine of us, there will be nine digital cameras, and three video cams. I think we're covered, LOL.

RN Karen, what made you pick Belize to get married and not just honeymoon there?

RN, I think you are, Karen! Hahaha! You've thought of everything! Hey, did you start a thread yet so you can share everything there and we can drop by and ooooh and aaah?! If not, please do!

RN, in your dreams, Nic!! Well, maybe in cybercakeland you can have one. Ha. (I heard Brad and Angelina hired her for their cake.)

RN I'm feeling so helpless and worried. I was talking to my friend Liv in Kentucky. She was driving - bad I know but she called me - and all of a sudden she started screaming. The screaming stopped and now all I hear is the radio. Nothing else. I didn't hear the radio before she started screaming.

RN, oh, no, Serate! Praying with you for her safety. Can you call her hubby or friend or mom? Are you continuing to dial?

I keep asking if she's ok if she needs help. Hoping maybe she can hear me. I used my cell to call my hubby - first person he was to call was his old office who will call the police with her phone number. As long as I can keep the line going they might be able to figure out where she was. She's only 26 and has an 8yr and 3 1/2 yr old girls. All I can think about are them. It's been 8 minutes since she stopped screaming.

RN, Serate, that was really smart of you. Don't jump to any conclusions, now. It may be a car accident, but, chances are, she is just fine. Could be she is just scared and rattled--and may have dropped the phone.

Just heard somebody say "are you ok, we're gonna get you out" or something like that. Didn't here her respond but at least I feel better that somebody is there now. My husband is on his way home. Why I don't know we're 10 hours away. But I will feel better when he's here.

RN, Wow, Serate. Well, you know she is alive, Sweetie, and that's the #1 most important thing right now. How lucky that they were able to find her and help her! Probably from YOU getting your hubby to make that call! Let us know more when you find out, okay?
