Getting married in a week!

[BrightSpot]

Thanks so much, ladies!

Skylah, thanks for the sweet compliment.

I''m so glad you got your ring back--it looks amazing in its new setting!

(Well, it looked amazing before too--your stone is incredible!)

lovelylulu, I''m really interested to hear the band play. Apparently they play "Mento" music, which is Jamaican folk music, the precursor to reggae. They have some instruments I''ve never seen before. Cool.

flopkins, do you like the bigger orchids or a mix of orchids & other flowers? I guess the bouquet is the last detail to be confirmed.

lili, as much as I''m looking forward to seeing everyone for our wedding, I''m definitely looking forward to the honeymoon part more!

Thanks for the congrats, laurel.

jazmine, I can''t wait to hear about your wedding in the Bahamas--it''ll be fabulous! I got the fans & the parasol from Pearl River Mart. I bought them at the NYC store, but they also sell them online.

Thanks, Danielle. You bet I''ll be back with pics...soon!

So my future in-laws are currently en-route to Jamaica! They''re going to beat us there & check out the lay of the land. They''re also taking our favors with them (they checked them!

) I hope they make it to the island in one piece.

Thanks alot! Sorry to bother you one more time, but what about the wind chimes? Where did you pick those up, if you don''t mind my asking

How are you getting everthing there, especially the favors? Are you putting them together once you get there? Just padding things well in boxes?

No bother at all, jazmine.

We got the wind chimes from The Wedding Dept. A friend of mine gave these as favors for her wedding & recommended them to me.

We had quite a dilemma trying to figure out how to get the favors to Jamaica. The wind chimes came pre-packed with tissue in white boxes. We went ahead & tied the packages up (CD on the bottom, then wind chimes on top, tied with thin turquoise ribbon & topped with a card) & brought them out to my future in-laws'' place so they could take them to Jamaica for us. I thought they would carry them onto the plane, but they were afraid that airport security would have to search each individual box (I''m not sure this would''ve happened...

) so they decided to pack them up & check them.

Apparently they bubble wrapped the heck out of them so I hope they make it there safely.

Thanks so much for your good wishes.

I''m tieing up loose ends today & will finish packing tonight. Our flight leaves early in the morning tomorrow!

I''m going to try to follow IslandDreams'' great advice--to stop worrying about the details & enjoy Jamaica!

Thanks again to everyone for all of your help along the way.
