I can just imagine someone saying "yea thats fine, we'll make an exception for you and let the music stay on till 11, and then come July 5th at 10:30 the music goes off and we can do a thing about it.... The situation just sucks because of all the absolute wonderful, positive things that everyone had to say about Marco... my main reason for being so outraged is that this would have never been brought to my attention had Mara not left the Hilton. oh well... who said wedding planning was easy!!!!! thanks for the encouragement/advice guys! Did you speak to see her boss Danilea? I think the music cut-off is 11pm

This is one reason, I disolve the wedding party. If they show up that's cool, if not the wedding will going on w/o them.

I was having the same problem, Stick to your guns!!! They can buy a white dress this summer and have before the wedding. One of my bm was not with the white dress, but oh well it's my wedding.

I can not wgt to see more pics and read your review

I felt the same way, so I hired Maye to oversee the wedding. I don't deal with Jaria at all. I contact Daniela is who really nice. Emeline is no longer with the Hilton. Since I hired Maye, I feel comfortable that everything will be ok.

Love CD products!!!! Whenever I am in new york and make a stop to buy products

Great Review!!!

I feel your pain..we aren't rich nor can we afford yearly vacations our damn selves, so its hard when people look at you like you're being selfish and behave as though you're going for free just because its your wedding. Hang tough. You might be suprised, some might insist. What happens then, are you guys open to allowing whomever to participate if they step up and say they truly want to? If they decide to get pass their issues on the dress and airfare and still come, they are allowed to participate. I am not going to mention the dw to them at all.

You know, I never thought about it.

Good luck everyone The gm have a problem with the airfare, during the phone call I told him we purchased our airfare last week, he was shocked that we spent on $1200 on airfare. He thought I was going to wgt a month before the wedding. I told him if no one shows up to the wedding fi and I will be there no matter what. Mental , Physical and Emotional we have let them go. We refuse to discuss the wedding with them. FI have stop taking gm phone calls , because all he talk about is how much the airfare is. About a week ago , I emailed everyone the guest and wedding party, to let them know we are aware the airfare is $$ and we understand if they can not attend but let us know yes I will or no. Instead of saying yes or no, these FOLKS say smart a@@ things. I just want to email everyone on the guest list and ask WTF, Who's Wedding Is This. Ladies thank you so much for expressing your concern and thoughts.

My 1st thought was not doing a wedding party, always go with your 1st thought. So far we are ok, just not something I thought would happen 4 months away from the wedding

Last week, I posted a thread about my bm's and attire. Well not only are the bm's giving my problems, the best man is acting a butt. Seem to be that the wedding party have issues with the airfare, because it's $$. They make smart comments as if I don't have to pay for a airline ticket. So FI and decided to let the wedding party go. At this point I don't need them to feel obligated to attend because we asked them. It's not worth disolving a friendship over a $$ airline ticket. I gave everyone enough time to prepare their $ for the money. It's heartbreaking to me and fi that the wedding party and other guest make comments about things I have no control. Of course this will come as a shock to them, but less stress for me.

Ladies, I feel the same way, I gave up today. I really don't care what that wear. I thought I was been nice when I told them, to get any dress that they like in the color I picked. BM2 want to please BM1 , BUT BM1 is the picky about everything. After I emailed them about the white dress BM1 said "whatever you asked me to wear I will do that, I don't care". The reason why I told them to pick any dress they look is because bm1 is full figure,so she know what type of dress works for her body. They are going to do a white dress and bm1 will have something smart to say about that, but oh well it's my wedding.

Those are really nice!!!

I like pic #2

My next question to them is "Who's wedding is this" they are over picky My FI told me to tell them come in bra's and thongs since they are picky

I have two bridesmaid, I selected the color and they are fine with color. This is the issue: BM1:is in a wedding coming up, that bride and I selected the same color BM 1 said she will wear the dress to my wedding, not a problem for me Well BM1 ,think the dress will be to hot for my wedding because of the fabric which is silk shantung and she sweats. I never told her to wear that dress for my wedding. BM2: BM2 told BM1 that silk shantung dress is too fancy for a beach wedding and she sweats also and will be hot. I came across on dress on Macys that is perfect for a beach wedding and the perfect color, BM1 said the dress is to clingy for her. Have not heard from BM2 about the dress at Macys. I am so tried of going back and forth with me, these are 2 chics who have wonderful taste in fashion, I never thought this would be this hard. I picked the color and told them to get a dress that they like and comfortable for the wedding. I emailed both bm today and told them to get a white sun dress, that they like and is comfortable for a beach wedding. My dress is ivory so a white dress for them is not a issue with me. Was that the best solution to give them?

I designed the initial STD letter, the STD Postcard and now I have started looking for actual invites, and nothing I pick out is to his liking. He just says, "Oh bring me some more, get more samples". Why? So he can just shoot me down again? Maybe I need to take a wedding break. I don't know. I am so overwhelmed with it all right now. I know we have plenty of time, but I am a neurotic planner and this is so stressful. The only help or opinions I get is from him and his mom. His mom is usually agreeable, but he keeps shooting all of my ideas down. My BM (my sister) is MIA, my MOH lives 2 hours away and doesn't have a computer to check her e-mail. I don't have a mom - my dad's wife could give a rat's ass. My dad...he's another story altogether. So the only people I have are you guys to listen to me rant! I think I am going to leave the invitation thing alone for a while so I can take a breather. I think tonight I'm skipping the PTO meeting and I am heading straight to Target to peruse their dollar aisles - and on the way home I'm stopping at Noodles & Co. to buy some macaroni and cheese. Mooooooo. Thanks for letting me vent. ~Celina I understand, I just pick a invite , I really did not care if my FI like it or not. If you like it then for it. Men just don't have a clue about wedding stuff (lol)

I add, the hotel info with the hotel rate, my travel agent info. Everthing else is on the website I created for the wedding

FI and I were both raised in the church and have very strong faith but since niether of us live near the churches we were raised in we don't really go anywhere on a regular basis. We have been together for almost 8 years so there doesn't seem to be many things left that haven't been discussed and we are extremely open with each other so it's not like I feel like we absolutley have to get counseling but I don't think it can hurt. I know there are non-church counseling options, but I don't want to do that. Just wondering what other people are doing.... I think you are in great area the ATL to locate a church for pre-marital counseling. You have options for a group session and private. Start with friends or family to refer you to someone. My FI have done group premarital and private session at our church in Dallas. I highly suggest pre-marital counseling. Good Luck

I had my dress altered from a strapless to a v-neck front and back. And the dress was a-line and I had it alterd to be more fitting to my body frame. The bridal shop have a excellent seamstress who is the owner, and she did an awesome job on my dress. I think it can be done.

Great Job!!!
