BachataBride

Happy Wedding Day Mrs. Walker!!! Hope you are having the most amazing day ever!!! Can't wait to hear all about it! (and of course see your amazing pictures!!)

Welcome to the Mrs. club!! Hope your day was everything you dreamed of & more!! Can't wait to hear all about it! PS. Miss you in the box - hopefully you'll join us again soon!

Very pretty Erika! Mine wasn't too much to look at...but it was the thought behind it!

I did this as well for my step-dad. I got mine at David's - it just hooked right on to the plastic holder part of my bouquet. I took it off & placed it on the flowers for the picture. I also used a verse I found on this site for a memorium page in my welcome books.

Depends on which piece you are getting I think. DH gave me the signature flip flop pendant, but I didn't wear because I didn't think it was dressy enough with my wedding gown. But if you went with a different design then I think it could work. Just make sure it doesn't clash with your other colors (ie, bouquet, BM dresses, etc). And just to let you know, larimar is more of an aqua or teal (for when you are matching with your other colors!)

msemi - I got married at the Bachata last year & it was beautiful! I was disappointed with the weather which affected my ceremony location...but that's not the resorts fault! Oh...and it's confusing because the msg says RIU Bambu (PC) and her name is RIU Mambo (PP). I'm not 100% sure which resort she is referring to. I think a review of your experience is necessary to help out other brides, I hope you post one.

Ditto! And welcome to the forum. Anything (and I mean ANYTHING!) you need can be found here!!! From opinions on decorations/accessories/etc to moral support when (and I do mean when!) some drama comes up to ideas for just about anything you can think of!!! This is your destination wedding headquarters!!!

My picks have been nominated already! Good luck ladies!!!

If you got it girl, flaunt it!! As long as your not "falling out" of your dress then I say go for it! I am a little chesty & chose a deep v neckline because it is my style! It's whatever makes you feel like you!!

Wowzers! I say do what you want. Yes, take other people's thoughts & comments into consideration (which you already did by moving it to 2012!) and then do what YOU and FI think is best for the both of you! 2015!!! OMG!!

BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't believe your friends were treated so shitty though - Air Transat (or any charter airline from Canada really) tends to suck in customer service anything...from what I can tell! Glad you had such an amazing time!!!

Richard Branson : who?

Do you mean the RIU Bambu in Punta Cana?? Or the Mambo in Puerta Plata?? Your information lists the Mambo - did you switch??

I was originally going to have both my step-dad & real father walk me down teh aisle, but my step-dad passed away before my wedding. I then had my mom & dad walk me. If you want to incorporate all 3 then maybe have your 2 days walk you half-way, then have your mom walk you the rest, or vice versa - or, you could have your mom & step-dad walk you part way & then your real dad the rest of the way...or any combination of those! Good luck!!

That is so great...the family must be so happy!!! I'm curious as to the story behind it too.

Your friend should be getting this out to the media - I googled "Brianna Bell missing" & it wasn't until the bottom of the page that I got any results. Have the Stratford police contact all media to get the word...and especially her picture...out there. My thoughts are with your friends family & I hope they find her soon. Keep us posted.

Looks great Nat!!! Do you have the final copy done yet?? I like Autumn's idea of washing out the background a bit - or making the schedule text white. I don't mean to be too picky, but I think you should add a period. "....during this special occasion. It means the world...." But if you already have them printed don't worry about it - it's just my opinion!!

Everything looks amazing Jess!! And I love that you posted all your wedding/honeymoon dresses!!! I cannot wait to see all your hard work come together in the photos! Have the time of your life!!!

Oh - definitely move them up!!! I think the first three are out in box set now! And the 4th is coming out in March!! Enjoy! Oh crap! I just looked at the website again it's March 2011!!! I'm never going to remember to pick it up!! Maybe I should set my google calendar to remind me in 1.5yrs!!!

I'm just about to start the third book in The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. They are AWESOME!! It's about the demon/fairy/werewolf/vampire world & the struggle & comradery between them all!! Here is the link to the website! The Mortal Instruments, by Cassandra Clare

I voted for #5 because it made me go "awwwww". But I like #2 & #3 as well! Good luck! It's definitely a tough choice!!

I'm not sure what resort you are getting married at, but I got married at the RIU Bachata in Puerto Plata & they just gave me a photo album of a bunch of pictures of past brides and I had to chose from their bouquets. It was pretty easy for me as I wasn't too picky! I just knew I wanted orange & white...this is what I ended up with. My flowers were free and I paid $35 for my MOH's bouquet.
