My resort finally got back to me and it is $200 cheaper to just have a symbolic cermony! and getting married at the court house is only going to cost me $50 so in the end I saved $150 bucks.. we are goign today to get our marriage liescen and then make an apt. for the last min for our legal day! yay! I LEAVE IN 2 WEEKS!

Your probably right but the darn WC hasn't gotten back to me letting me know it is okay just to do the symbolic ceremony! oh well.. if i get married twice i get married twice.. lol I love all your planning! love the colors!!!

So any of you other July brides a bit nervous.. see i am getting married on a resort that no one on here has gotten married at and really I feel like i just do everything there.. who knows if it will even turn out okay.. i feel like most of you talk to you WC a lot and i maybe have emailed her like 3 times.. i am now in the process of seeing if i can just do a symbolic ceremony and get married here.. no blood test for me.. boo! so yeah.. anyone else nervose of decideing everything in 2 days

OMG! I swear we are the same person! I about about 175-180 and lost about 75 lbs for the wedding and I hate my arms too! I so understand what your saying. But honestly.... tan tan tan.. it makes you feel better and if i learned one thing on this forum is stand with your arms bent! the pics look great! I bet you will look great int he strapless but the sleeves are super cute too! Just think of what you will feel confortable with.. what about a little cap sleeve or llke the off the sholder sleeve. If you are getting married when it is hot you may not want a shall. I promise you will look great! I hate wear tanks and stuff but i am forcing myself to do it now so that in 20 days i will feel a little better.. and just remember if anyone looks good on the wedding day it is the BRIDE!!!

Thanks ladies.. it is just so sad because if they don't come my dad will not be walking me down the asile.. and no daddy daughter dance.. that has been something i have been looking forward too.. knowing my parents they will make it but it is going to be the last min. it is just one more thing that i shouldn't be worrying about but i am!

Okay so My parents have had since November to save for their trip to mexico. Things got bad at home with this stupid economy thing and the thought of loosing their house is on their minds. I know this sounds so selfish of me but I mean come on! They had so long to save.. There are so many things they coudl have done to cut cost.. not smoking for one!!! ewwwww My FI is so pissed! This is not to say that they will not come but i mean come on.. the hotel is booked on saturday which is two days after we get married.. I will be upset if they just fly in for the day ... ahh why...

I got these candles in the lemon i think flavor and they smell WONDERFUL!

I am thinking of doing this too! will you celebrate your annaversity on teh 13th or on your mexico wedding?

I Love Love Love It!!!!!!

Yay girls the day is fastly approaching us!!! i can't believe it! hope everyone is ready!!! (Im not) lol

I had chili that night so it was red! gross! my roommate cleaned it up!! eww but how sweet!!! yuck yuck yuck... Now i try not to get that bad!!!

Thanks ladies! it was a blast!!! WE played a game called nine holes... so we had nine bars to go to but we only made it to 4 or 5 haha.. My shirt said final fling before the ring on the front and the back said soon to be mrs. harlin.. the girls said on the front Bridesmaid support crew and the back said 7-03-08 she says I do My mom made the shirts with iron on transfers and a lot of bedazzal jewels..lol.. they serverd there purpose!!

I have no idea. welll some idea. i know it is like a golf game were a lite beer is a boggie a beer is a par a mixed drink is a birdie and a shot is a egeal. and i think we are going to 7 different bars.. seems like a lot of driving to me! lol! your list isn't too long.. mine is about the same! i am in digets now.. no more months! yay!

I have learned that the more water you drink the more water you lose and you can have a lot of water weight you just don't know about.. also it curbs your hunger! good luck and you'll fit into it perfectly! no worries!

Hey ladies! wow! getting close now! I feel like every weekend is taken up to the day we leave too! I am so excited! Finally going to be married! I also leave today for California for my shower and bach party! yay for only a 3 day work week! What do you ladies have left to do? I keep having dreams of the ceremony going all wrong! ahh!

Very true! thanks ladies! Maybe I'll wear it and change or maybe I'll dance it up in it and then sleep in it that night.. get all i can get out of that baby!

I am so happy to hear that you girls are wearing yours! It makes me feel better about my decision. Are you guys going to get your hear done or just wear it down or something?

Quote: Originally Posted by Heidi I definitely will wear it again to our AHR. How many brides get to wear their dress more than once?!?! That is what i was thinking!

So those of you having an AHR are you wearing your Wedding dress again? We are trying to keep our somewhat classy but with a mexican flare! I think we might have a total of 70 people coming. At first I wasn't going to wear my dress to it because my BM are from CA and will not be attending. Then i thought to myself.. who caers if i look too dressy.. I am the bride.. or was the bride! What do you guys think?

Thanks for the tip! I was going to make it some time next week. Give them two weeks to do it. I would do it this week but i am heading to California on Wednesday for my shower and bach party and i want to wear my ring! Looks like we are all closeing in on our dates! yay for us!!!
