  1. Beautiful invitations and I love the map. It's a nice touch. That little cartoon is your signature is adorable
  2. Sorry to hear all this is happening at once. But rest assured, everything always DOES work out in the end with these DW weddings. I know it sounds cliched as a motherf*er but it's true. LOL. Just take a deep breath and think about it: do you prefer getting married in city hall or having a DW? If the answer is clear to you, do whatever your mind tells you. DO NOT listen to the naysayers and people asking you to ridiculously change your wedding date to appease them. Hello, if they want to come and can, they will be there. As for the maid of honor, we all have a story (am convinced after joining BDW) of losing an MOH or a bridesmaid in the process of planning a DW. I lost one a 2 or 3 months before. Try to just rest easy knowing that it's what YOU want to do and it will all be A-okay.
  3. I just wanted to say that, just like this thread I posted, I really did spend my wedding day and a few days brefore it saying, IIIIIIIIIIII'M the BRIIIIDE anytime somebody said something stupid or off the wall to me (like the shoe situation and my bridesmaid) and other moments. It was soooo funny. But I didn't abuse it. It was still hilarious! I saw one episode where the bride told the maids that none of them were allowed to get pregnant during the planning of and up until her he wedding. WTF? LOL Plus watching that show makes me feel sane.
  4. Starry, Your wedding looks sooooo pretty! I was getting teary-eyed looking at the pictures. I am so emotional. Haha! I love the green/coral together and that picture of all of you guys jumping up on the beach is soooooooooo cool Congrats to you! How exciting!
  5. Aw, man, I am sorry, Kerry!!!!!! I hope you feel better! I know you don't want to but I'm a big wuss and would prob head to the doctor's just to be sure it doesn't become infected or worsen.
  6. Honestly, I have NO clue what mine covers! LOL. I should def look into that since I am getting "baby on the brain" recently. I didn't even know about pre-conceiving appointments and am so wowed by all the stuff there is out there! Good luck to all those trying to conceive!
  7. Katrina!!!!!!!!!!!! I love love love your pics!! Your veil was so romantic and the one of you guys walking on the beach and him holding you up on the baech is like a DREAM! I love how it blurs together. Your photog did an amazing job!!!!!!!!!
  8. Maura, your dress is fantastic! You are going to look soooooooooo beautiful on your day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to see pictures!!! That bustle is really nice, too!
  9. Hey, Megan. We hired some musicians to play during our cocktail/h'ors deurvs hour and then for the reception got a live band. In between their sets, they played a CD I had burned back home. It was great.

I think you should wear what you want on your wed. day! YOUR DRESS IS FREAKING GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it white or cream? On my wed day, I had the big dress on with RED flip flops on at the ceremony LOL and then put on my gold stilettos. Do you
  12. Welcome to the forum! You'll find lots of Punta Cana brides here. There are some Eden ones as well Have you asked the WC about having a later ceremony or perhaps on a different day at the time you want?

Well, dear, as you know, weddings make everyone insane and LOTS of people ASSUME they are coming to DWs, whether they know you or not. Stick to your guns. My cousin asked me if she could invite the friend of a friend of hers that I had NEVER met before. I said, F*CK, no! The thing that kills me repeatedly is why anyone would assume they can invite anyone to YOUR wedding? People are truly insane. Let her keep thinking she's invited and when the invitations go out, voila. Who knows, that guy may not even be dating her by then. But I will add on this one thing: Sometimes the people you MOST expect to be at you wedding, don't come. And the ones you least expect, are totally there. It's pretty fun. Still, don't feel you need to invite her out of pity or cause she decided what she is going to wear to the wedding she isn't even invited to.
  16. Dress #1 says BRIDE all over it!!! I love it and am a sucker for sweetheart necklines. It hugs your body in all the right places and the train on it is to die for. Plus the embroidery makes it so lavish. The second one is nice, but is kind of informal and seems a little loose, IMO. I say, #1!
  17. HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is soooooooooooooooo nice and fun to be back in this thread! It's like coming home, you know!!!! I'm going to link my spastic "review" for my wedding with some pics. My sig pic came out teeny tiny, for some reason! I can't wait to see alllllll your pictures! Maura, your legal day looks soooooooooo purty!!!!!!!! Aw, that kiss looks awesome. Katrina, I loved the bobblehead things you used at your wedding! And ABbie, youro TTD looks like it went great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Barefoot, I reallllly hope you can work all this out!!! Can you talked to the lady who is supposed to be sending the $ to the vendors yet?? Will def keep you in my prayers. Everything will work out. You will see. Yeah I can't wait to catch up with the rest of you! Well I haven't changed my name yet because the DMV is majorly packed always and then I have to go to SSN and then the bank, all my credit cards, passports, etc. It seems like such a nuissance. I'm not even sure I will change it but if I do, I will become a Barbosa. Like Captain Barbosa of Pirates of the Caribbean. HAHA It's kinda cute, right? Mrs. Captain Barbosa. ARRR!

  18. How freaking cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Seriously, it is FATE! :) My good friend from college was my date twin and it was SO cool planning everything together. We lived directly across the hall from eachother our freshman year and never ever lost touch
  19. THank you thank you, thank you, ladies, for all the kind words!!! It was so much fun!!! I know some people say they wish they would have gone with a different or less expensive dress but in my case, I would not have changed at hing. I felt so regal in mine and didn't want to take it off!!! Oh, a major stress factor for me before we left was wondering how the heck I was going to get that big ass dress to my destination and I called American Airlines and was advised you could only bring one carry on and that if it was the dress, it had to weigh X amount. Well I decided to chance this and just carried it in my hands AS WELL AS a rolly carry-on suitcase with extra changes of clothing and underwear and bridal stuff IN CASE the big suitcase that I checked got lost. It all worked out fine!!!! J also carried his suit in his hand along with a rolly carry-on with extras. Oh and P.S. Just like that thread I posted, I went around the ENTIRE day of my wedding saying, IIIIIIIIIIIII'M the bride anytime I was stressed out about something. Tee hee. Do it! It's fun!!!! LOL! Jenny-- that is so funny you did a search for my wedding!!! You're getting close! I think we are going to Portugal in Dec!!! Twinkle-- We used the resort photographer and videographer. I think they did a great job Maura, Abbie, and Katrina.... I cannot WAIT TO SEE YOUR PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been so darn busy at work that I've hardly had time to sign on here!!!!!!! HUGS & KISSES!!!
  20. We didn't really have a 'set budget' but when we did our 'final site visit' we had an idea of how much everything would be. And in the end, actually saved about $500 when we paid. Which is insane. It wasn't too bad, actually, considering all the add-ons we go.
  21. Those robes are sure to be a HUGE hit! Everything looks great, Alyssa!
  22. We got this all the time and would just smile and grin. We has a master guest list from the get-go. Anyone on it was not coming. When you send out your invitse, that's it. You don't have to justify to anyone why you invited someone, etc. If they press, you wanted it to be really small and that is why you're doing the big AHR.
  23. Hey, Twinkle K, let's see: First, my hub walked down the aisle and met the pastor up front. Thenmy mother walked down with the groom's father, then the bridesmaids walked down with their respective groomsmen. Then, the ring bearer, flower girl, and Dad and I. We said a prayer and the pastor took it from there. I think we did the sand ceremony after saying our vows and had the rings blessed, etc. Then the kiss and we were pronounced man and wife. Afterward, we walked down the aisle as Mr. and Mrs., everyone congratulated us and were whisked away by our photog (by the way, I know you asked and we ended up using hte resort photographer, who did really well, IMO) and took pictures for an exhausting 1.5 hour it seemed. LOL. He took like 700 pictures, no lie. While this was going on, our guests were at a cocktail/h'ors deurv party up a ways at the resort. We later joined them for this and we had some musicians there. After that, it was reception time. The guests were seated before us and then we were announced and we walked in. The band played some music and we actually had our first dance and father-daughter dance AFTER a few songs were played for everyone else. LOL It was great fun Yay! You are leaving soon!
  24. Dear Police Officer Who Gave Me a Ridiculous Ticket This Morning On my Way to Work: I don't like you. Asshole. Love, Erica
