Wow - that is going to be one HOT BD session!! Have fun!!!

Absolutely get a trial done!!! I think it might be helpful to see the style on you than on someone else. The other thing is you can make sure the style works for you. You never know - you might want to "tweak" a few things from your inspiration pics!!!

Erica - you look absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!! I love your dress!!!!

Oh that's right - Cinco de Mayo is coming up!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Congrats!! Happy planning!!!

that's great!! can't wait to hear about the proposal!!!!

I am retarded and it took me a sec to get the slideshow function working, but congrats on gorgeous pictures!!!

I would still go, but afer I dove off the high dive i would high tail it outta that water....

I hope I did not miss this thread in my search, but I was wondering, if you had an unlimited budget, what movie wedding would you like to recreate for yourself? I think I would like Coming to America so I could laught thru the whole thing....And marrying a prince wouldn't be half bad either What about you ladies?

I'm running to my TV now. Wedding Planner was on last night and I was so excited even though I am sure I have i it on DVD...

Beautiful pics!!! Congrats!!!

I have never heard of these before. What a cool thing for your OOT bags. I am sure your guests will really appreciate an easy way to keep the bugs away.

I think they are moving PB to the new BofA building (I think it's near Bryant Park), but more than likely my next trip will be for my NY shower towards the end of the summer since half my BM's live on the EC and Dean's family is in Westchester too. Thanks for the info on the rings. I have a long list of stuff to do next time I go to NY...I miss it there!!! xox, N

I am hoping that travel agents will be able to offer better packages than that! We decided to use a travel agent to avoid becoming the information center for travel information." The nice thing about using travel agents is that they do all the research for you and most have long standing relationships with resorts/airlines, etc so they will have access to better info. We got great rates from our travel agent and they were familiar with the chain that we selected (I have never stayed at all inclusive resorts before). We did not pay anything for our TA. They recieve a commission formt he hotel for booking tips to that resort. I think some may charge a deposit that you will either get back or is applied to your trip. There are a few threads here on TA FAQ's. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t13308 Good luck!!!

Your pictures are beautiful. It looked like a great party!!!!

Welcome to the form ~ Happy planning!!!

to the forum!!! There's lot's of good Cabo info here. Happy planning!!!!

Congratulations!!!! My wedding is in Feb and I already found the dress I am using so I have a while to place the order (august/september at the latest). I saw my dress online and I knew it was the one. I avoided it at first scared that it would not look great on me, but when I got up the nerve to go in and try it on i knew it was MTB Good luck today Erica - I can't wait to see your pics!!!!

Those invites are so cute. Make sure you take some with you to your wedding. You should definitely have your photographer get some good shots of them. They are worthy of going in your scrapbook (if you have one)!!!
