jmiranda

I thank everyone so much for your kind words. This is a very hard moment for FI. I do agree with Josie that the wedding will be something positive for the family to look forward too. Thank you so much for keeping us in you thoughts and prayers. I will definately be needing everyone help with ideas for remembering his father in our wedding.

My FI father passed away this past Sunday, May 28 from a heart attack. When we heard of the news at 8:00pm on Sunday my FI, his sisters, his mom and myself flew out to Mexico on the 1:45am flight. We arrived in the morning to FI parents house to witness that the news was true. I wish is was just a horrible nightmare but this is really happening. We are back from Mexico after funeral services and his burial. Im trying to be strong and help his family out as much as I can but sometimes I dont even know what to say or do. FI is doing really bad. Does anyone have any words of wisdom, thoughts or ideas that they can share with me so I can help them? Our wedding is 3 months away with trips paid for, deposits down, dresses made etc.... CANCEL? FI says no but I believe that we should. This is suppose to be a moment of happiness and it has become a nightmare. Future Father-in-Law talked so much about our wedding. He was so happy that his son was getting married and he loved me so much. He was so excited so the wedding. Why did he have to go?

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing.

You look so beautiful! The dress is gorgeous.

I sure Im looking for those pics. I have been on a hunt.

Everything looks great...how exciting one more week!!

I want to have dinner and dancing in a private space. Thanks for your help! I have all of my info at home and can give you the info later.

Thanks so much ladies...we are so happy. We even had a bottle of wine last night to celebrate....lol

I would recommend to send an email to everyone. I received RSVP by doing it that way.

Yes Im so excited because alot of guests are traveling with a family of 4 so now its more affordable for everyone to go.

I wanted to share my excitement with everyone! Originally the price that our group was going to pay to travel to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for 8 days 7 nights All Inclusive was $1090 and everyone was ok with the price. Well FI and I decided to see if Funjets would lower our price since prices are so low right now and guess what they did!!! Our guets are now payin $799 per person. I am so excited and are guests are as well. Im so glad that we have it a try and it worked out to our advantage.

Congrats! Its a very pretty dress. Picking out bridesmaid dresses has been the hardest part for me too.

What church are planning on going with?

Bo I cant believe that your special day is fast approaching...I wish you the best and I cant wait to hear and see all about it.

Thank you so much Jessica...I really appreciate you sharing this info with me. Looks like now I know where Chiko might be staying at!

Congrats....I love your dress its gorgeous!

Thanks for giving us an update. Enjoy your honeymoon...cant wait to hear the review and see pics.

Thanks for changing the title of the thread.

Love the dresses ladies...where did you get them?

Thanks ladies...I really need to check out where Im going to leave my Baby Chico. Im going to see how much it will cost at petsmart and search around for other alternatives.

My situation right now is that we just got a puppy so we are thinking of where we are going to leave him. Everyone close to us is going to the wedding. We have thought about our neighbors but she is prego! So now we dont know where to leave our "Chico".

So were will everyone leave there pets?

Thank for posting that information...have you been to the restaurant the prices and locations looks great. As for transportation, I found a bus for 45 people roundtrip at $330usd. Let me know if you want the contact info.
