I found this site: weddings on a whim and it seems that they can put together a nice ceremony on the beaches of Florida on short notice.

Have a good Sunday everyone.

Michele,

Thanks for the link. It's good to know what types of services are out there when planning a wedding. What type of ceremony do you think you'd have?

Lee

We're not really sure yet; but the beach ceremony is a strong option.

Love the beach idea.

Hello Everyone,

Glad things turned out great for Rita and Tashi and cannot wait to see some pics.

Well I just got back from Ft lauderdale, My parents went with me to meet Adrian, he got us passes to come on the ship, so my parents had lunch on the ship while he took me down to show me his cabin and some of the other places on the ship. He was a little embarassed to show my parents his cabin (it is very very small for 3 men to live in) so we just met up with them after they ate and then we went and drove around Ft lauderdale for a little bit. We got to ft lauderdale about 12 but we could not get on the ship till 1 so time was short since he had to be back to work at 4pm.....so anyway things where good, my dad said Adrian was a very quiet person and Adrian said that my dad was very quiet also...the only negative I heard from my parents is they said Adrian needed to wear pants that fit him (he wears them a bit big to try and make himself look not so skinny) and tuck in his shirt ...but I thought he looked great....my parents are just old fashion.

Until Later, Joanna

Joanna,

This is great! If the only thing your parents complained about was how his clothes fit, everything is going to be just fine.

Hi

Congrats to all the recent newly weds and all the other great news that has been happening I am so happy to hear (read) of all the wonderful things happening for the ladies in our group. It’s awesome how God works For the upcoming weddings (Rita and Tashi / Mindy and Roy) I hope you have a fantastic time

I just wanted to check in real quick and let you all know I am still alive

I have been trying to stay up on the reading but really haven’t had the chance to post. Things have been really rough the past couple of weeks and I am thoroughly exhausted and not really in the best of spirits. I hope that things will get sorted out and I can get back to the “normal” swing of things soon.

I will definitely keep in touch with you all and I love hearing about how you all are doing but it will probably be a little bit until I can be back on the board regularly…like old times. Sorry about not being able to do the suss…again I hope to be able to take that back up all in due time. Right now it is just to stressful that I have had to put aside certain things that are not necessarily top priority. I love to post here and I love doing the suss but right now my focus needs to be elsewhere.

I hope you all are enjoying having your men here and for those waiting its just a matter of time and you will be with your guy. Patience truly is a virtue.

Jamie

Jamie,

We miss you girl I'm so happy to hear from you - we were worried about you I hope everything is going ok for you. Just take it one step at a time and if you need to talk, you know how to get a hold of me. I check my e-mail every day so get in touch with me if you want. Glad to have you back.

Well just and update Karl and I are getting married on April 22,2006!

We are having the wedding and reception at a local hall, with about 80 or so people ... He is adjusting slowly, this cold weather is a definet shocker to the system !! He too does not get the whole RULEs around here, things are not as laid back as they are or can be in Jamiaca.. I guess it will be absorbed over time!

Well ladies i am going to catch up on the last 36 pages, i will talk to u all soon

Suzy

Hey girl, It's good to see everyone back on VJ even if it is only to "check in" and let us know how you're doing. It's been so quiet in here lately Good luck with all that reading

[rhondapayter 0]

Hey, where is everybody this morning??? It's quiet in here.

Rita: Congrats on tying the knot Hope everything went smooth. Can't wait to see pics.

Joanna: I'm glad your parents finally got to meet Adrian. It sounds like everything went well. I'm still laughing about the clothing comment about clothes that fit him

Jamie, Popcorn, & Mrs. Smith: Glad to see you guys You were missed. There's still a few of you left who we haven't heard from lately.

Myisha (Ricardoswife): Where you been girl? We miss you on here. How's the pregnancy going?

Hey Everybody!

I am just popping in to say hi. My mom has been very sick, so I have not had much time to stop by. She has a disorder called trigeminal nueralgia. According to docs - it is THE most painful disease known to man. My mom has been brave over the decade or so she has had this, but now, at 73, it is really hard - she has lost a lot of weight (was already as skinny as most of our husbands ). Anyway, please keep us in your prayers.

Congrats to Rita and Tashi and everyone with good news. I will log on tonight when everyone is asleep and see if I can catch up a bit.

Henry and I are doing well. He still has not found a job and it is causing some SEVERE frustration, where he wants to go back home for 6 months or so. But we are praying about it and I know God will provide something very soon.

Take care everone. I really miss you all. Mrs. Squitto your avatar gave me a needed laugh.

Hey Elizabeth,

Sorry to hear the bad news about your mom I hope she feels better soon. Can she take pain medication at least to help her get through it? I'll be thinking of you and your family.

ElizabethnHenry, you are in my thoughts and prayers

Michele, the beach is wonderful.

Hey does anyone remember how much the police record was in Kingston. I am trying to help my friend prepare for costs but I cant remember this one!!!

[nyseness 0]

I also agree you should see it and spend the money on yourself. There is no need to keep them.

Thanks girls for your input on my question about the engagement ring. I have what's been called exquisite taste in jewelry and my ex husband gladly indulged in my habit as a jewelryholic I don't have a lot of jewelry but what I do have is nice. Therefore like Lee I have 2 engagement rings, an anniversary ring and other "marital" type jewelry sitting in my safe deposit box doing nothing. I will probably do like Mindy and get a nice CZ or just wear a nice band(and QVC does indeed have some nice ones) as I personally would rather put the money to other uses like a really nice honeymoon. A lot of stars now use CZ's on the red carpet instead of their real jewels if they are not borrowed from the big name jewelers. Anywho my next question is a little controversial but I'd like your input.

Say you have a nice collection of jewelry given to you by en ex that is just being stored, you don't have any children or female relatives to pass them down to, your fiancé cannot afford to give you the engagement ring that you want so would you:

a. use your old engagement ring if your fiancé/husband doesn't mind? (another ex- fiance suggested this but I strongly objected to this option; one reason why he's an ex)

b. sell some of the collection to get your ring or go on your honeymoon etc.?

c. forget about it and let your ex's rings continue to collect dust?

d. sell the collection and doing something else charitable with it?

e. other

Michele

Anna, nice to see you back and glad to hear you're feeling better

i am so frustrated right now. we are trying to get Henry's daughters tourist visa and the interview was this morning. after all the spending and organizing with the mother...it didn't go well. get this...

when i filed k1 it asks about any children. i put henry's daughter and checked the box "coming at a later date" becuase uscis advised me that i should do this in case we are ever going to file for her gc in the future.

we didn't even think about that in regards to the tourist visa...however kingston did. they told the mother that the daughters name was still in the system and that we have to clear that before they can approve the tourist visa. of course not only does the mother think we were planning on stealing the daughter...but i have no idea how to clear that out of our original application almost a year ago.

needless to say. before I begin to try and deal with kingston, i am on hold right now with uscis to see if they have any inside tips for me. they better, i've paid them enough money$!$!
