Here is one photo of me in which I look like a possessed woman...lol..not sure if it's funny or a scary photo...hahhahaha

Both keys - room and safe - are electronic at El Dorado Royale.

Congratulations Anny! You looked gorgeous - i love the dress! Reminds me Pronovias style.

I agree with all the posts above - it's totally up to you! My suggestion would be wear it at least for the ceremony and the pictures. I was planning to skip it at first but ended up using it and I am so happy I did. It made me feel like a princess and the pictures came out amazing.

You are so beautiful, and you guys look so happy, and Sol did such a great job! I had planned on throwing together a few necklaces like you did, but could never find some that I thought would look good together. If you're looking around online and find something that would look good in ivory, PM me, okay? (I am totally going to try to use your incredible fashion sense in some way). I was also going to walk down the aisle to Blower's Daughter, then changed my mind to Question by the Old 97's, but now I'm starting to rethink Blower's Daughter after Sol described it going over so well for you guys. Congratulations, girl! Now put up your feet and enjoy married life, you, if anyone, deserve it! (except keep an eye out for those necklace combos!) Laura - thank you so much for kind words. I am always shopping online so i will definetely look out for those ivory necklaces.

Those hot pink dresses your girls are wearing? Who makes them if you don't mind providing me with that information? I would love to have it for my "day after" pics...Pink is my favorite colour and they are hot dresses.. Again, congrats and Wow~ Those dresses are from Victorias Secret and they were no more than $60.00 or so. I couldn't believe when we found them. good luck!

What a great review Ann! I am so embarassed i am still didn't write mine. I am such a slacker. Part of it because i am waiting for the digital picture files to include some pics in a review.. Congratulations again!

wow! your details are sooo cute. I love table numbers and rose petal cones.

YAY!

Denise, Congratulatons again and happy moving! We need to plan anniversary trip back to ERC...lol

Congratulations Ann! You looked stunning. The pictures are beautiful.

Wow! Beautiful pictures, beautiful people. I LOVE your dress. So ellegant...

Thank you guys! You are too sweet. Let me know if there is anyway I can help.

Awww, Glenda... You are too cute. I just wanna squeeze you... jk Thank you so much sweetie for such warm words. I am glad that pictures transpire how magic and fun everything was. I literally felt sad and empty the morning after the wedding. It's almost like part of me died or something. It was just too much fun and I couldn't believe it's all over. Maybe you should let me plan your wedding...HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

Congratulations! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Wow Sarah! What do you do for a living? You should do motivational speaking or “ego boosting†for a living…lol. Jokes aside thank you so much for such kind words! I wish I could do it all over again!!! People are always telling me that I am in a wrong profession. They think I should be a stylist, wedding/event coordinator or home decorator. I loved your thorough review and TTD pictures. When I saw it I thought to myself how well planned and organized your wedding was. I think I will follow your review to write mine…hehehe

Awww, what a sweet story! Best of luck to both of you and happy planning!

Awwww! Glenda, Amy - thank you so much guys for the compliments. You are making me sad again I want that day BACK!!! Glenda - The back of that dress was the reason why I decided to ditch my first one...lol I LOVE IT! I had a mixture of natural and fake flowers - my bouquet, girls' bouquet, Kashif's Boutonniere, little flowers in my hair, 2 natural flower centerpiecies (lillies and peonies) were all natural. Flowers for other not so important stuff like ceremony decor, chair's decor - those were fake. We had 15 guests and it was a perfect number. I never thought i would say that small weddings are awesome but I wouldn't change a thing! I can definetely write a review or I can update my wedding planning presentation with the latest info and post it here. One question though - the file is over 5 MB. Is that going to be a problem? Amy - I agree with you about the traditional bride I always wanted to be a bold bride. Too bad they couldn't do the right make up and hair to complete the look. Oh well...can't have it all. The dress is by "Pronovias". I modified straps and the back by putting a lace all around it. I got it from NYC "Designer's Loft" boutique. They didn't have it in stock that particular model but they were able to order and ship it from Spain in 2 weeks (express order). Matt - I agree - Sol did an excellent job!
