That's just wrong, nobody likes the White Sox. I know! I'm actually from Missouri but I never a Cardinals fan. Luckily, I get to watch all the games on the baseball package at my work. Best in baseball right now!

Have a beautiful wedding day! Congrats!

Welcome back! You always bring laughs to the forum.

BTW Heidi, I showed my SIL your pics because whe is doing my flowers and I want have strung orchids like you have yours for the ceremony. She sent me back an email saying that your pics made her cry because everything was so beautiful. She said how she would be a mess at ours.

I live and breathe the Chicago Cubs. FI and I originally wanted to get married in Arizona for Spring Training. Our lives revolve around baseball (he's a Dodger fan). I am kicking butt in my fantasy league right now. I have to represent the ladies since I am the only female in the league.

Heidi- Oh my gosh I didn't even notice that you used organza? I was so taken by everything else! Perfect. It looks terrific! The funny thing is that I am ordering from Sashes for Love as well.

Organza table overlays? I'm looking at sage over white tablecloths. I don't know if this is tacky or could be cute. Can you please post pics if you have done this so I can see what it looks like? I am stressing out right now. Thanks! -Laura

I got my bags from the same place (arrived yesterday) but I am doing the transfer myself. I wish I had had them do it for me. Mine are turquoise. I will post them when I finish.

I freakin' love, love, love it!! You look amazing! I love your necklace. The pictures turned out phenomenal! It looked like a great wedding. So much detail. I could write a huge page on everything I loved in your pictures but I'll save my breath.

You do have to do rings at the courthouse, at least here in California. You can just use your engagement ring, though. I think they want to make sure people are not getting married to commit fraud or something but really someone could just buy a twenty dollar ring and get married. The government is so smart sometimes. hehe That is really messed up of your FI's dad. Hopefully he'll change his mind.

I kind of feel a little selfish like some others have said- there are some things I still want to do before putting a child first in my life. Amen, girl. I think you are specifically being unselfish because you know one day you do want to put your child first.

It is a HUGE thing. I know when I get pregnant and it happens, no big deal, but I guess I'm scared of the prospect of having kids and what a major thing that is. I sometimes feel like I'm alone in that sentiment since most people want to get pregnant the moment they wed. I'm just afraid cause I have never had a child or have never cared for one. I do want children some day and I'm sure it will happen when it's meant to. I'm sure it would be a great blessing in my life. But I am scared. Does anyone else feel that way? It is a major thing! I am definitely not ready and have no idea when I will be. At this moment we just want to enjoy our wedding and honeymoon and do some traveling. I am scared and just not at that point in my life. I say don't rush it. I don't think we'll ever stop being scared, though. It's a scary thing those kiddos.

I'm not having one and I am totally ok with it. This forum helped me book my own vendors and let me choose depending on price and quality. If you feel it is going to be difficult in the area you are having your wedding at, you may want think about hiring one, though.

Congrats on your baby Noah!

I'm glad you were able to come to a decision. They are both gorgeous on you! I wish I had your waist!

Welcome to the forum! It is fun having so many possibilities, isn't it?

Just don't tell anyone. I don't think anyone will ask. Honestly, I've never thought about things like that at a wedding. As long as there's an officiant, it looks legitimate. Just keep the margaritas coming and no one will even think about it.

I have been wanting to take classes as well. Thanks for the website!

I'm having a legal ceremony two days before we go to Mexico. I told everyone that it is just the bureaucratic paperwork and that we are not recognizing the marriage until we say our vows in front of loved ones. I'm not going to wear the wedding band either until after the symbolic ceremony.

Your dress is amazing! The photos look wonderful. Congrats to the both of you!

You all have talked me into going and checking out this Laura Mercier stuff. Buying makeup is yet another thing on my list of to do's.

I only have a little over a month left and I am so over the planning. I just want to be there having fun with the people that I love. On the other hand I tell myself that I will miss the planning once it is over. Enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. I'll try to follow my own advice.

Welcome to the forum! You have found the right place to start planning you destination wedding. Congratulations!

Thanks! I'll go sign up.
