I'm kind of in the same boat with you. I have friends but I really dont have a best friend. I've always felt a little embarassed about that. I was always the person that was the "bridesmaid alternate" because they had their best friend, childhood friends, sisters and cousins and I have always been the next in line if they could have more attendants. I understand and all because I appreciated the fact that they told me they wanted me to do it but now that it's my turn it kind of makes it an awkward situation. Some of my good friends are best friends and so I kind of feel weird if I asked any of them to be my MOH... because I know I wouldn't be theirs. I'm not even sure which of my friends are going to make it to my wedding. My fiance' has many friends who he's know all throughout school and they are already planning on going. This makes it more awkward for me because I'm going to feel a bit loser-ish if he has a bunch of his friends there and I dont have any. I know I'll have someone there but I cant help but think about that sometimes. His brother was married in Oahu last summer. They didn't have a big wedding and didn't have a BM or MOH but we did sign the licenses for them so technically we were the BM and MOH. I'm not planning on having a wedding party but at least I know that I can have his sister in law sign the license for me since I did the same for her and it wont be awkward:) You definitely aren't alone. I'm glad you posted because I really dont have anyone that I can tell this stuff to.

I wouldn't have been able to choose between the three versions either. I hope my invites look as good as yours!

I would try mysimon.com or nexttag.com for the guys sandals. Old Navy has some 2 for $5 deals and some colors for $1.99. You cant beat that. Oriental trading company has some cheap flip flops and they can print on them for you but you'd have to order in bulk of 50.

Congrats! You are sure to find a lot of useful info here!

Thanks for posting the photos. I was in the Brunswick area in October and visited St Simon and Jekyll Island. I was curious what the weddings were like there and what experiences people had with having their ceremonies there.

Welcome! The people I know who got married in Jamaica had a hard time deciding between Negril or Ocho Rios. Both are fantastic!

Congrats and Happy Planning!

HI! What I did was try to figure out what was important to us as far as location goes and that can help you start to narrow down locations. I didn't want any place that was overly expensive for people to travel to and there were some places that seemed to have less tropical storms and hurricanes so that helped us narrow our list down.
