2/6
Well, Dwayne got his package in the mail on Friday and he said yes to being my Man of Honor, so thats exciting! Jana hasnt received hers yetI think the nasty weather has slowed it down. In other news I booked Beaute Speciale for hair and make-up. I am going to have them do the hair/make-up for me, Jana, my mom, and FMIL. Dwayne doesnt get to wear make-up and he is proficient at styling his our hair
I am also booking a trial for our November PS trip to make sure I dont look like a total goofball in whatever hairstyle I end up picking. They have been great to work with so far; quick with responding to emails. I was a bit worried it might be too early to book them, but it wasnt.
They did ask about the timeframe and I wasnt sure since I will most likely end up booking Disney for all our photography and videography. How far out can you book them? I sent my consultant an email on Tuesday, but I have yet to hear back from him. I guess I will wait until this Tuesday so he has a full week to answer before I pester him. I hate feeling that way-it would so much easier if they would just write back promptly (within 72 hours or so).
I just finished reading a historical (trashy) romance novel set in the Caribbean and now ALL I can think about is planning/going on our honeymoon! We have tossed around so many ideas about where to go. The ultimate plan is to go on safari in Africa, but neither of us has the luxury of taking off for the wedding, plus an additional 2 weeks to do the safari properly, so that is on hold until probably two years after the wedding, depending on finances.
So, we want a shorter, relaxing honeymoon right after the wedding. We have gone back and forth over what to do. We have been on one cruise that did a circuit around the southern Caribbean and we loved it! However, I dont find that there is much privacy on a cruise ship. We went to Hawaii the summer after we first started dating and we loved it too, but that would be an awful long flight, plus there are other places I want to explore. Then, we thought about Paris, but I would want longer than 5-6 days and we (I) would jam pack our itinerary because that is just how I am.
We had narrowed it down to somewhere warm and not Mexico. We have looked at what feels like a bazillion resorts. Part of us likes the idea of all inclusive and part of us doesnt. Well, today we made one big decision: We want to go back to St. Lucia for our honeymoon. It was our favorite port of the cruise we went on and I love how exotic it looks without having to travel all the way to Fiji or similar. Now we are just researching where exactly we want to stay. Both of us are really excited to go back, I mean who could resist this???
Its much more enticing than the snow that is outside my front door right now. Im off to make jalepeno popper dip for the Superbowl!
