I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that. I am glad you found a WC to help you at your new venue. Thanks for such an honest post - I will surely cross RIU off of my list.

Just perfect! I LOVE your dress.

Great job! I love the bags...where did you get them?

Congratulations! I just got back from a friends wedding on May 24th in Tuscany. She had her wedding at Castello VicchioMaggio and it was absolutely gorgeous. You are going to have such a romantic backdrop. If you would like some pictures of how she did the reception let me know and I can PM them to you. Congrats again!

They are both beautiful but I really like the first one. And I am pretty sure that by the time your wedding day is here and you are walking down the aisle he won't even remember looking at that magazine let alone have any idea it was the one he said was ugly. I think it is beautiful and when he sees you in it, I am sure he will be speechless. Just go with your gut and what makes you feel amazing as that will come through on your big day!

Funny you wrote this because my girlfriend and I were talking the other day and I was explaining what a TTD shoot was and she SO wishes she did that. She did say however that she would never give up her veil....she still prances around the house with it about once a week! I guess I will trash my dress and keep the veil!

Also, I was thinking about this the other day, for some reason I'm really attached to my veil.... and was thinking about not using it for out TTD because I didn't want it to get ruined. FI was like "who cares! that was the cheap part, wear it!"

Everything looked so beautiful, and you were just stunning! Thanks for the pictures, I can't wait to hear your full review!

Amy, I loved the way you worded that...I need keep that for my STD's!

I love the dresses! Those will look so pretty with your Cabo backdrop!

Wow, it sounds like an amazing shower! I can't wait to see your pictures!

I am so sorry. That happened to my dog Toby about 1 1/2 years ago and the neighbor's dog bit him in this neck! We too thought he was OK since we looked for any bite marks and didn't see anything (he has really long thick hair). Then about 1 hour later we saw he was bleeding and rushed him to the vet. He too had to get sedated and had a staple in his neck. Jackson will be OK, just make sure you keep the area around the staple clean and that he doesn't scratch or bite at it. I know it is so scary - my dog is like my child and I love him so much. Know he will be OK and will be just as happy and excited to see you too when you pick him up.

Here is Here is my ring! It is a round cut diamond with three small diamonds on each side. For my wedding band I would like a band with the small diamonds all the way across

The same thing happened to me last year when I was the MOH in my friend's wedding. I was surprised to find out that my parents were not invited to her wedding - she told me it was because of the guest count and trying to keep it down and that they couldn't invite everyone they wanted. In the end my parents did get invited because her mom told her she didn't feel right not extending an invitation to the parents of not only her best friend but her MOH. With that said, is your mom upset she is not invited? When I was upset like you are right now and talked with my mom she told me she understood as weddings are expensive and that she didn't expect to be invited (but my mom is always the peacemaker too!). I would explain to your friend that it hurt you to find out your mom wasn't invited and that you hope she can find room for one more on her guest list. If she really doesn't have an extra spot to give to your mom then I would just drop it. It is not worth getting into a fight with your MOH and vise versa before your weddings.

It is so beautiful! Congratulations! I love the arches in the hallway.

Hi! I am trying to add pictures to my signature and profile. I followed all the directions that Tammy included above and for some reason when I use the URL from photobucket I get one of the following responses: Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file. or Invalid URL Help! What am I doing wrong?

Beautiful pictures! I want my hair like that for my wedding! Simply gorgeous!

Welcome to the forum Amanda. I have my heart set on Cabo as well!

First of all you looks so cute! I hope I look like you when I am pregnant! I love the shade of blue for the baby's room! One of my girlfriends did a similar shade and it is so nice and calming for the baby.

They are both beautiful and you look amazing! I really LOVE the strapless on you though.

WOW! This has just reconfirmed that I will surely be doing a TTD shoot! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations and welcome! You will find a lot of great ideas and wonderful support here!

Beautiful Dress! I love the lace on it too...so elegant.

OK...that attachment totally didn't work! I am still learning how everything works on this forum. m_5dcd094206ea3431a2d65d28c479583f.pdf

Being in many of my girlfriends weddings and being large chested believe me it is not easy finding a dress to fit well. I would always have to order one or two sizes bigger just to fit in the bust and then have the rest of the dress altered. It doesn't look like this is an option with this dress. What one of my girlfriends did for her wedding was had all of her bridesmaid wear a black dress....any dress they wanted from any place they chose to find it. I was scared you would notice in the pictures as not all black fabrics and colors are the same but you couldn't even tell. I thought it was one of the best ideas as all the girls felt great, found a dress to fit them perfectly and also brought out their own personalities. She brought in color with the bouquets...the color of her wedding was purple. Another way to bring color if you choose to go with black dresses is to give each girl a pashmina of the color of your wedding that way you color can be incorporated all around. And also color can be added with jewelry. Here is a picture from my friend's wedding.... Oh and if she needs a good bra, I swear Nordstrom is the best place ever. I am large chested and this was the only place where I could find a good bra, even a strapless! Hope this helps!

I LOVE it! Where did you get these? I was thinking of having my BM's wear something similar...did they have a good amount of colors to choose from?
