Maura, your sooooo lovely. A lovely thing to do, and DougsGirl, what a lovely way to thank her

very pretty, you look lovely in it.

You look lovely in your dress, the back looks gorgeous.

Its very pretty and so exciting

So glad its worked out for you and saved you that money (i'm sure you'll find something to spend it on)

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments and happy birthdays (I do feel more 21 than 41 though )

Its been a wonderful day today, not only is it my birthday, but my wedding dress that I ordered from Ebay came today.

This is me and my middle daughter (one of my bridesmaids)

This one isn't very clear I'm afraid, daughter can't take a clear photo

I do really like the dress but it wasn't quite as expected, I wanted all of the embroiderry to be white but as my other daughter said, it matches my hair, and it is growing on me. I think once I get a hooped skirt and its pressed it will look even better.

You look perfect, its gorgeous

Try not to stress out too much, you will have a wonderful day :-)

Congratulations, have a wonderful day and bring back lots of wonderful pictures

So glad you've found your dress, it is lovely. You do seem so much happier. Can wait to see pics.

Ocean Blue also give you a free wedding but you have to pay for the civil ceremony/Judge which i think is around $750 (more or less), which is added in with price of packages from other hotels.

So sorry you don't like your dress, it does look very nice on you though, fits lovely apart from the top.

What company on ebay did you order it from, I've ordered mine from ebay, just waiting for it to come.

That's wonderful, can't wait to see the pictures

So so sorry for the both of you

You look lovely in your dress as is, with the alterations finished it will look even better. Congratulations on you weight loss, it must have been hard work for you, well done.

I've only just come across this thread. So glad your feeling better, everything will go wonerfully well for you and once back you'll wonder what all the stress was about

Hi

My DH sister got married in the Dominican Republic, i think her time was 2pm (not as early as yours) but after the ceremony and the photos, she had an area set aside just for her. She hired a magician for an hour and after that was finished, we all sat round and the best man did the best man speech and read out any cards that they had been give by people that could'nt make it. She gave out bridesmaid presents then as well. Also, she arranged to have a tv with a dvd player as DH had made her a dvd of pictures and music that was special to her and we played that for at least 30 mins. There were a few people in tears. After this we went to the restraunt for dinner.

Maybe you could plan something like this?

Also, I have my time for 2.30, but the wedding co-ordinator has said that it may be possible to have it slightly later as I wanted 3.30 - 4.00pm.

Hope this helps

Congratulations, you are going to have such a wonderful, memorable day.

Very pretty, it will look lovely

I'm so glad it all working out now.
