Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

WOW!!!!!! Christa - huge huge huge congratulations!! that's so exciting! and that is the best attitude to have...you can't change it, things happen and they happen for a reason...we just have to try and deal with them. at the end of the day, you're going to have a beautiful baby with the man of your dreams - what could be more perfect?! and like someone's said already...what a great story to tell them when they grow up!!

I hope everything gets sorted out with your hotel - it sounds like they're being really helpful so thats good. and another good thing is that you are quite a way out....at least your not like 3 months away or something when even more is planned, booked and paid for!!

I better stop working out though - if I'm pregnant when they do the blood test they won't legally marry us!! lol but being mega-organised, we do have a back up plan...if I were to, we'd not tell people and have a symbolic ceremony and then have a legal one back here. bit of a random thing to have a back up plan for but I just wanted to make sure we'd thought of everything!!

They're on, they're on!!! if you click on 'Photos of Katie' underneath my profile pic on facebook there's about 8 pages!! I have an album you can look through, but there are 3 friends who've uploaded photos last night as well so they've got albums on too!! I loved going through them all last night - made me all really happy again!

I'm going to get the girls to send me all their pics and then (maybe after the wedding!!) I'll create a photoalbum online and get it all printed out...will be a great album to look back on.

woooo congrats missy!! about time well done you!! lol

I'm using it already - it's just too risky now!! haha

Woooo how exciting!! Can't believe it's tomorrow you go - it's come round so quick!

and you'll get used to the acrylic nails - I have been having mine done religiously since I was about 16!! now I can't function without them!

Can't wait to hear all about your wedding and see pictures

Sara, you are probably feeling mad at your FI because now it's going a bit wrong and getting stressful. stick to your guns - it may have been his idea, but you agreed to it as well, and I know how easy it is to want to throw it back in their face when things start to go wrong (I know because a DW was my FI's idea and I used to get mad at him every time something started getting stressful or going wrong. Then I realised, when it goes well, I'll thank him for it too, and I did also agree to it.) I know it's hard but do not let wedding planning make you stress at your FI - just remember why you agreed to marry him in the first place and that when you strip it all down, the only 2 people who really, REALLY matter on the day are you two. the rest is all just a bonus.

We invited about 150 people and are expecting about 50-60.

Congratulations Crista! Babies should always be considered a blessing. Hopefully it will all work out and we will still be getting married the same week. If not, it's not the end of the world. I like your attitude about the whole situation. Keep up with the positive thoughts....the baby can sense it! Lol.

And Amy....from another bride who's the same distance away from their big day I'm feeling ya!

 

I'm on a total emotional rollercoaster (apart from my hen night!).

 

I don't have energy to do anything; I have stopped working out, but at the same time I'm so distracted I have also gone off food; I am putting all my energy in the evenings into doing wedding things, and then I realise I'd forgotten about something and then feel crap again; I am sooooo excited about going as it's only 19 days now until we fly but it means it's hard to maintain focus; as soon as the smallest thing goes wrong I want to ball my eyes out...

 

I feel like we all deserve a medal when we make it to our wedding dates!

 

But stay positive hun...you've planned and organised so much, you don't have anything to worry about. you shouldn't feel alone - I know from your facebook page you are not short of really good friends, but if you feel like that, get in touch with them and ask them to help you out - what have you got to lose? at least that way you won't look back and wish you'd done something. if they still then don't make the effort, you know you tried and therefore you can be safe with a decision to just forget about them for now. and your friends are even offering to clean your house! that's amazing!!

 

I would imagine that most of the problems you're having with some emotions connected to the wedding are to do with lack of sleep. Maybe one evening just take a night off and have a nice relaxing bubble bath with candles and just get into bed. A good night's sleep can make the world seem like a very different place

 

sending you a huge huge sister-bride hug

ahhhh! This just gave me CHILLS!!! You will be there before you know it and will be an absolutely stunning bride!!!!!!!!!!! So jealous you will be there SO soon!

Speaking of stunning...wow, your BD pics were amazing!!! You looked gorgeous, sexy, and cute all in one. They were so so so classy and vintagy! Great job girl, you should be proud!

GIRL!!!! Congratulations!!!!!! I know it is a scary feeling, but he or she will be such a blessing to you guys. I think about that ALL the time...It could definitely happen to anyone. I know you guys will work out the details with wedding and everything. And how exciting would that be to have your baby at the wedding!?!?! I have always heard you should be in tip top shape when you get pregnant...so that's great that you have been working so hard!!!! Congrats again sweetie!

Oh wow, thanks so much! I will definitely check out their website for ideas.
I am getting there Thursday morning and doing my Boudoir shoot that afternoon/evening at the Roosevelt. Fi is arriving later that night, and we will do our engagement pictures on Friday. We really have pretty much the whole day. The photog flies out that day, so we will just be relaxing and partying the rest of the weekend! Thanks again for your advice!

At azul sensatori, there is no limit that I am aware of. We have 45 booked so far, and its a possibility some more could book. I heard of one bride who went with 100!

We invited abuot 150 and we have 45 booked and paid for. Everyone is staying at the same resort exept for 2 people who are going to get a day pass just for the wedding.

Thank you!!! Yes, AB has yoga on the beach and we couldn't be happier about it! Yoga is something FI and I have done together for years. In fact, they have Saturday AM yoga, so we'll probably do that together the morning of our wedding

Oooooh, good luck!!! Here's a cheer for ya

I think it's really smart you've thought about this and have a backup plan. Good girl!!


Fabulous idea! We DO deserve medals!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!

You are going to have such a great time! Good luck on your shoots!!! Can't wait to see pics!

I think you can have 80 at AB now. They used to say max was 50, but now its 80 to get the Blue Terrace. Jen, you should ask the Wedding Department at Karisma to get the most up to date answer. Plus, good to have in writing.

I only invited 60 and we have 38. We knew 12 were not coming automatically b/c of $ and the rest were friends who had kids. But we were selective to start with.


Thats awesome you have a good TA. That will make your life so much better. Mine has been a freaking nightmare. Last person paid last night though - so we should be pretty much through with dealing with her.

OMG good luck on the dress this weekend! I am so excited to hear how it turned out
