I'd love to see a copy of this if someone wouldn't mind emailing it to me: [email protected]. I appreciate it. Thanks!

Any chance someone could email the spreadsheet to me? I'm having trouble organizing my song preferences. Thanks so much! [email protected]

Hello! While everything looks lovely, not all of the items coordinate with my wedding theme. We're doing more of a nautical theme, featuring navy with shades of ivory and white. I was wondering, if you have not already received requests for them, if you would be willing to sell me just the 4 ivory pomanders? Would you accept $17/piece for them? Thanks for posting these items! Jessica

First, my computer is down so I have not been able to log on as often as I would normally. Some of this info is out-dated. Sorry. So I have been adding items here and there as I find them in stores. I'll share them as I find them: * $0.50 toothbrushes at Walgreens (individually wrapped) * $1.00 flip-flops at JoAnns in solid colors * $1.00 notepads (2 per pack, so $0.50 each) at Walgreens And the mother of all deals (which someone may have posted in my absence)... * $0.01 Purell bottles from Staples (Yes, 1 penny) I doubt anything will top the last item but I'll keep searching.

So I started the gym last Sunday and to my surprise have stayed consistant for 9 days in row. I am not "dieting" but trying to cut out the sweets for starters and use the gym to firm up the areas that need firming. (I even managed to buy my niece my fav ice cream without any for myself.) Tuesdays are my day off from the gym as my work schedule and after-work commitments are too time consuming. Apparantly I also took my eyes off of the goal completely yesterday. Only ten days in and I had to have sweets! July 6, 2009 seems like such a long time to be good. Oh well, perhaps the eleventh day will go smoother.

You were very creative. I will borrow many of your ideas. I especially like the folder for important documents. I think this is one of planning steps I am most excited about. Thanks for sharing.

Very creative. I am sure your bridesmaids will be thrilled and honored and touched by your very own words. Thanks for sharing.

Believe it or not, I have never heard of TTD until this morning. At first I was thinking, "no way." After reading this thread and seeing some pictures I can completely see why so many are including this "tradition!" My only setback is I have to travel back to my cruise ship afterwards for dinner. Any suggestions?

Fantastic pictures! Thank you for sharing.

How exciting that you only have 9 months to go! I had a blast sending STD's out just a week ago. And now that I put a deposit down for the resort I am eager to move on to the "fun details" of the wedding such as colors, flowers, dress, etc. I am sure you can pass your free time exploring these boards and become inspired in many ways. Enjoy your planning!

What a fun topic! Here are my five: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Welcome and best of luck to you both! 20 days!!! Woo hoo!

I am not in the position to offer much advice yet other than relax and enjoy the entire planning process. I am trying to remember to do the same. Congratualtions and welcome!

Welcome and congratualtions! I will admit that I too changed my mind daily for a few months before we came to a decision. It was a running joke in the morning. My fiance would ask, "Where are we getting married today?" You'll know when you have found the right location when you stumble upon it. Enjoy your planning!

Welcome and congratualtions!

Thank you for all the welcomes and well wishes!!!

I agree with you Tamster! If you're unhappy you are more likely to take the time to write a review. That said, I have decided not to use Royal Caribbean for my actual wedding because of all the bad reviews I have read. They convinced me. Lol. I like to be in the know and will want to be able to discuss details as I move along in the planning process and everything I have read contradicted this behavior. Best of luck to those who use them and I hope they will write a review if they have a good experience so that other cruise brides can form a different opinion of cruise ship weddings.

Believe it or not my mother was our photographer...she's not a professional or anything but I was very happy with the finished product. Thanks for checking them out. Engagement Photos

Another cruise bride here! We are sailing from Bayonne, NJ on the Explorer of the Seas and marrying in Bermuda July 6, 2009. Seems like cruising brides are pretty popular these days!

Hello everyone! My name is Jessica and my fiance Brian and I are getting married in Bermuda July 6, 2009. We will be arriving via a Royal Caribbean cruise on the Explorer of the Seas. I am excited to have found a very knowledgeable group of other brides and look forward to sharing info together.
