I have made a slideshow and I went on the hightest res. possible and I would encourage you to do the same. The pictures of us as kids look "rough" compared to the ones now but you can get the idea behind the picture. The lesser the quality the lesser the detail. In some of the photos I did at lower res. you can just she shadow rather than my eyes.

If only they made tiny ones!! So cute.

Thanks ladies. I have gone shopping with them on several trips and wanted to pull my hair out. They keep finding dresses online that I say I like then they keep looking to find the cheapest dress. I actually thought they were joking about this hooker dress but she liked it cause it was cheap. I guess the guilt of having a DW is causing me to be lax on this situation as I know they are paycheck to paycheck gals and spending a lot on a dress is hard but I don't want street walkers standing up with me I do like the idea of picking out 3 dresses and then letting them pick the one but I know they will just pick the cheapest so I will try to have them all be the same price.

As some of you may know I decided to not keep my original dress and went for a more "gown" like dress. They (MOH's)decided to return their original dresses despite me telling them not to. So for the past few weeks there has been some drama over what dress to get. My older sister want to spend less than $75 on a dress while my younger sister undestands that isn't going to happen. I have given them two color options and my blessing. I feel like they are taking advantage of the situation and are now looking at black dresses. I made it clear that black was the emergency option--can't find an off the rack dress you like in red or magenta--go for black. I feel like I have been very open to this situation. Tonight they were bickering over dresses and I felt that was the last straw. I told them if they didn't have anything figured out in two weeks I would ease the stress and pick the dress. Younger sister is pissed off! Tell me I am in the right and not a crazy beeoch!!

I think this is their way of getting you to use a TA, they get the dates BEFORE the public.

This is great! Thanks.

UUGH! Don't you just love this crap?! Here is what I keep telling myself, and now you, you are NEVER going to please everyone involved. If you had the standard wedding in your home town someone would complain about the long walk from the car or that the chicken was too dry. Now are just getting to hear different complaints. Don't change your plans for your family--only change them for yourself.

Sorry you had troubles but the dress really is beautiful and hopefully you get things all squared away.

There sure a lot of choices. I find the "property of" ones a little creepy but the rest are fun. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the forum.

Very helpful! Thanks.

I just found this and you could adapt it to work with this idea ROCK CEREMONY Each guest has been given a small polished stone upon arriving. Before you met, your lives were on different paths with different destinations. But love has brought you together and joined these separate paths into one. Each one of your friends and family here today have been given a small polished stone that represents their unique individuality and their presence at your wedding today. You also each have a stone of your own that symbolizes your previous separate lives, separate sets of friends, separate families and the different life’s journeys you once traveled. I will now ask that everyone please take out the stone you have been given and pause to make a wish or blessing for happiness and good will for the couple for the future of their marriage. Everyone pauses to make their wish. Now, we will collect the stones and the couple will then add their individual stones to the container as well. The couple adds their stones to the container. With the combining of these stones, you have now symbolically joined your once separate lives. As the stones have been combined with love into one container, so now are your friends and family joined, through you, into one. And your once solitary life's paths are also now one. All that was once separate is now shared, and in this sharing you both will find new strength and joy as together you forge a new life's path and destination.

Thanks Ann! Now I am sitting here bawling like a baby reading this stuff! Great finds.

The first of the two worked!

I thought about the unity candle but I know it will be windy. What is the hand blessing? Our Vows talk about hands so they way tie in.

Davids seems to have a fast turn around time and they sometimes have the dresses in stock! I think you should be just fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternate idea for a sand ceremony? We are doing our ceremony on a cliff and we are not all that much into the beachy theme but I love the idea of the two things coming together...suggestions anyone?

What a great way to propose. Welcome to the forum.

You must be very prepared if you wished it was June!! Congrats and welcome to a great group.

YOu would need to load it onto a photo sharing site like photobucket.com. Load the picture there and it will give you a URL on the screen. PM if you need more help.

Thanks for checking in and GET OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND ENJOY THE WEATHER!! Have a wonderul wedding!
