Agreed! Lets see some pictures!

That sucks! I agree with Bachatabride. Email because then you have a paper trail. Good luck!

Caesars for sure!

I know there is a place near Brantford. My girlfriend says its fantastic.

Would anyone like to throw their FI out the window? Last night we went shopping and he still needs to get gifts for his parents. He didn't find anything at the store. So I suggested when we get home to look. He looked for 5 minutes between watching hockey and checking the hockey pool. He made no decision. I am so frustrated. I said he there is only a month left. He says "well a month and a day". I could scream. Then I said have we decided on gifts for our guests. He says ya I thought you were paying for your girls and I was paying for my boys (in relation to golf/spa/excursion). I said yeah but not every guest will come and then only some of them get gifts. He says ok well lets pay for an excursion for everyone. I said lovely $1500. He says oh it costs that much? I want to scream. So right after this he says well we should go to bed. I am still looking on the internet for gift ideas. I turn around and I find him in bed all tucked in. I go in and get in bed. He says goodnight. I dont get guys. He sees no urgency in all this. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Just needed to vent.

Sounds like you had a blast. My girls and I this weekend are going to get private lingerie and bathing suit fittings. I am very excited!

I thought I would post the vows my FI and I decided on. It includes our reading. Vows C&G.doc

I scanned a copy I had from my planner and posted it. It is for a very traditional wedding so I crossed out what I didn't want. We are only have a MOH and BM so I dont need all the other shots of wedding party. My scanner was being an PIA so it is cut off but you should get the gist of it. I also added: -my wedding dress -bouquet with my nana's locket -My FI and I are just exchanging cards so I want a picture of us reading them -signing the paperwork -steel drum band -champagne toast -bride being given away -group photo of all our guests -a thankyou picture -gazebo -a shot of all of us at the table photos.doc

There is no need to worry. It doesn't take long. We just down loaded some music off I Tunes and made a CD. It took 2 hours. You have lots of time if you decide to go that route. If not you can use the music RMB has.

Very good. I did the same thing. I didn't want the ceramony to be 2 minutes so I peiced together some traditional vows and a non tranditional reading.

How did I go all this time and miss this fantastic thread. I feel like I have so much to do. I am so excited the say is almost here. Yeah!!!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic pictures. I loved your set up in plantation. It looked beautiful. I echo the question of how much your flowers were? I am very much interested in those centerpieces you had.

One thing that I wish I would have taken though is an extension cord because when we were doing our hair we only had one outlet in the bathroom and one by the mini bar and one other one so we had to keep moving the curling irons and flat irons around. Just a suggestions! Thank you for that super fantastic idea. I never would have thought about an extension cord

Did they play while you come down the isle and during and after the ceremony? We are getting married in a month! A little panicked! When is your wedding day? There are a bunch of ROR brides for January who I am sure would be happy to help out with any questions you may have. I am having the steel band. I am only getting them for the hour because they are too much for me. I was planning them play me back down the aisle, during our champagne toast and when we are getting photos taken. I am using a CD player which the resort supplies for my song to walk down the aisle to. Here is a link to the steel drum info: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t30243

I dont not think it is important for them to know you are a newfie. I thought it was important to educate people about how fantastic newfies are

Yes I do agree that some of our posts are useful to others. I think it is very important that everyone here knows you have newfie roots. I think you should start a post of what a newfie is for all of our BDW international friends Quote: Originally Posted by BachataBride Oh...I don't know!! Tan is always telling me what a I am!!

Thanks so much for the advice. It has given me some things to think about.

Okkie 1st why are we starting another post cause there are already too many for me to keep up with? My head will explode. 2nd my birthday is March 3rd. I would prefer not to put my year. I am not the oldest or the youngest I am somewhere in the middle.

I appreciate that my list is freaking long so I value that you even responded at all. I never thought of snacks. For the magnet would one from the fridge be fine? For tipping how much did you tip? I am planning one dollar bills but I am also wondering about for Chandlyn and bartender, etc.

I am not asking and I don't care. It is my wedding and I don't have a contract with Riu or Michael. I have paid for a guest to attend my wedding and he can take pictures if he wants to. That is my opinion. Anyone else from the resort who says anything else has another thing coming. I am only a biatch about this.

I wanted to be able to spend 6 days hanging out, 1 day partying and maybe a couple of hours out of that whole time doing wedding stuff. I want sun, fun, liquor and something else I am not sure if I am allowed to talk about on here.

Thanks so much for all your ideas. I have added a bunch of stuff to my list. Keep it coming if you think of anything else

Oh that will be an education for everyone in Mexico - newfie music. LOL!

44 days. That's it ladies! AHHHHHHHHH!

I ordered from Riu. I didn't like the idea of doing fake. I ordered two bags and I thought I would decide what I will do with them when I get them. If there aren't enough for the aisle I could also create some romance in the room the night of.
