Since you ladies did such a great job finding our bridemaid dresses, I am looking for help finding Trace's suit. We looked at several stores yesterday and being in Minnesota, they are already going out of season! I have found some online, but they never have his size- 42long, and about 34-36 waist. I like the jcrew 2 button suit in stone, but am going to use that as a last resort since it is about 400.00 for the 2 pieces. I am looking for the lighter tan color. We also were trying to steer away from linen, and lean more towards cotton or silk.

I am going to show th girls all of these dresses!!

Great price.....! I like the dress too, but the pink is a little too pale. That is too bad because it would have been cheap!

I was... and I really like it. But being on ebay, I am sure there is not 4...

wow Ann.... do you know how long it took me to find the 3 I had? I must be doing the wrong searches- this really helps! Thanks ladies!

This is cute.... but I must say the Bari Jay is the front runner... #249 I think!

These are the dresses I have found so far, but am not crazy about them.... DRESSES.doc

I guess like the flowers on my avatar....

not hot pink, or fuschia... just pink. Mayne like the circles on our timelines, even a little softer than those. How about you?

I like that, but it is a little too coral... nice dress though- and great price!

I should mention I am paying for them, so nothing too expensive!! I have been too busy, and have not had time to do it!

Does anyone have any short, pink bridesmaid dress examples? Or, anyone want to help find one??

Congrats guys.... you deserve it!!

But, being male, he will procrastinate. One nice thing is that if you are planning to BUY your grooms attire perhaps linen suits will be very cheap come the end of summer. It could wind up saving you money I hope so, but I have alread noticed that most of the normal sizes are out of stock. That is the one thing I have asked him to take care of, and NOPE. He hasn't.

I am fine with planning most of the wedding- I know what I want. But, I can not ask his friends to be the groomsmen!! And, all I ask is for him to have a clue and know what is going on!! Like I said, when people ask where it is, he turns and looks at me and asks! I am super frustrated right now! We are also remodeling the house/yard right now so that is a disaster. This is becoming way too overwhelming for me.

I need to vent... I could just scream right now. How many of your fiances are helping you with the planning? Mine is not! I am so overwhelmed right now. He doesn't even know the resort name or where it is located. I have asked him to look for a suit, ask his friends to stand for him in the wedding, asked him to help me with invites.. etc, and NOTHING! I don't even want to be around him right now. Is anybody else experiencing this? This is among many, many things! I need a break!

It is an all-inclusive resort, which most of the activities are included. If he wanted to, he really wouldn't have to spend much during the trip- maybe some tips here and there.... Everything from the plane to transfers and food and drinks are included.

This makes sense.... I thought that maybe he just didn't want to spend his money on our wedding- but rather things for himself. I know he has the money. We offered all of them 500.00 towards the ticket- which is a little less than half. This weekend we had his brother (the one who says he won't make it) help with a concrete patio we are doing so he can "earn" the money to go. The real reason why we asked for his help was so he would use this money for his ticket. Then, I heard Trace talking to him telling him he hopes he uses the money towards the ticket, ans he replied "we'll see". This makas me mad. It obviously is not a big deal to him if he comes. I guess I wouldn't be as hurt anymore if he doesn't make it.

I was just wondering if anyone has the same issues we are having, and am wondering what they did about it. Trace and I combined have 7 sibilings- 5 of which are going to struggle to pay to come to the wedding. Yesterday one of his brothers (the best man) came to him and told him that he was pretty sure he wasn't going to be able to make it. This really bites because if we were to pay for him, we would have to pay for all of them. Did anyone hae a wedding where a sibling was unable to attend? If so, was it weird? I think we are going to do what we can do to help him attend, and I hope he is able to... but we just don't know. I understand not everyone I want there is going to be able to go-

I love those! Is everyone planning on doing their own center pieces? How do you get everything to Mexico or the destination? Can you box everything and ship it? With the OOT bags, favors, my dress etc. I won't beable to carry all of it. For those who have shipped, is it expensive?
