I'll think about your category of names, and see if I can come up with something. That's really cute too!

I was looking for Hope, Faith, Patience, Friendship ... But here's one I found on there: Faith Faith, is all we have, to make it throught the day. Faith, that when were lost, we will find our way. Faith, in each other, in all that we do. Faith, that our love will always see us through. Thanks ann that is so good!! Perfect!

We are staying a week longer than our guests are!

My FI calls it the "target" what ever that means!! Guys are funny!

Ok I'm doing the photo centerpiece frames for each couple. Here is an example. I only have 3 shown here and they aren't taped together but I'm actually doing tables of 8 so I will have a total of 5 together in a circle with the tea lights in the center. $ for each couple at the table and one for the table name. Ok so this is where I need your help at. Can you guys give me anymore ideas for table names and any good cute short poems. I need 4 more table names. Oh so this makes sense each guest is getting a votive with there name on it with there table name. This is what it will look like at night! with flash so you can see it better! example of one couple that will have there picture in front of them. The idea but will have 5 all together in a circle. Here is what I have so far for the table names... Help please.... Some have 2 poems on them if they are short. Table Love For it is in loving, as well as in being loved, that we become most truly ourselves. No matter what we do, say, accomplish, or become, it is our capacity to love that ultimately defines us. In the end, nothing we do or say in this lifetime will matter as much as the way we have loved one another. Daphne Rose Kingma Table Forever You don’t marry the person you can live with; you marry the person who you cannot live without. Unknown I love you, Not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. Unknown Table Cherish Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. The Bible: 1 Corinthians Always speak well of each other. Believe the best is yet to come. Cherish every moment as if it were your last. Mary Lenore Quigley Table Patience Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. The Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:4 Table Eternity Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity Henry Van Dyke Table Soulmate To my Soulmate, one who knows my heart as I know yours. Let us be gentle with each other’s emotions and patient with each other’s frailties. And let us face what life brings us with grace and love. The Reverend Edie Weinstein-Moser

Ok ladies I did end up going to staples and getting clear see through labes that are already sticky. They are full 8 1/2 X 11 sheets and then I just printed 2 per page. They are so much easier than the vellum and you don't have to worry about taping them all down. Anyways I would definitley suggest going this route if you are doing these. These are for the Rehersal/Welcome Dinner These are for the Wedding Reception~ They are lighter because our colors are White and Champaign.

Yes we are having him do only a spiritual ceremony for us in English. We are getting married here before we leave. But none of our guests know this so he is going to make it seem like we are actually doing it legally! I hope that makes sense.

I hate needles!! So that is a no for me!! Even though I do like them. My FI has quite a few!!

Good Luck to everyone!!

those are good Tammy! Thanks!! I say some of them as well!!

That's funny! Thanks for sharing!

Welcome and Happy planning!

Congrats and Welcome!!

Very Cute girls!! Nice work!!

Welcome Rebecca! This site will help you pick your location!! Good luck!

Ass another alternative, I am having the market umbrellas set up to shield some of the guests and the BM are carrying parasols. I think some pics of the set-up are in one of my galleries. I didn't know dreams had the market umbrellas! That is a good idea! Are you getting married on the beach or the Gazebo?

Quote: Originally Posted by JPMO Are you using Mijares? Did you opt more a ceremony audio set-up as well? We just amended our reservation from full DJ to Ipod set-up and an attendant. I don't think that the attendant will mix the songs though I pretty much thought that we had to do that. I guess I must clarify. Dreams: I thought about using there system but I wanted to make sure that the music was of the best quality so I opted for the dj's professional system. If there system is what they use around the pools then it will suffice but isn't the best in clarity. At 160 the whole evening that's a good deal, especially if your group is smaller. we may opt to use that for the welcome dinner where the music won't be as important. Yes I am using DJ Mijares! I just thought it would be so much easier to have him run the show with our IPOD! Then I don't have to worry about someone having to DJ all night. But I agree the 160 price is good but Mariana did quote me per hour so who knows!

from my understanding, you can hook your IPOD up to there speakers!

this is the perfect place to be to anwser all of your questions you have!

Ya another Chicago girl!! Happy planning!!

You will find the site very helpful!!
