Depending on your number of guests, consider cutting out all the "bridesmaids duties" We had only 22 people at our wedding and decided to forgo bridesmaids and groomsmen. My girls wore coordinated dresses, that they all loved but didn't go all matchy matchy. It worked perfectly for us especially with a small group. I actually witnessed a wedding at our resort while we were there with more people standing in the gazebo than sitting outside watching; seems silly to me. Good luck with this one. Also, I say shop around for a travel agent that will work in the budget you are comfortable with.

I wash sheets at least once a week, but we usually shower at night anyway. -
BUMP.... I love this thread; don't let it die!

She sounds so pleasant! Wish she was my friend. LOL

I agree, very funny. This is totally the kind of thing that I love screwing with people about. Way to keep it light hearted and fun! Good for you!

assume it is implied. Please do not put anything in there about gifts AT ALL. Also, anytime you send out an invite you do it with the understanding that not everyone will make it. I'd leave it alone

Carry it on and don't let that thing out of your sight! Ask if they'll hang it in the 1st class closet, that's what NW did for me

June 24th, 6:57 central time: realizing I am at home on BDW with all the others who use this to avoid responsibility! I, for one, have a paper due at 9am tomorrow and am only 4 pages in!

Def check with parents and grandparents. I know my mom is old school and she would NOT have it! I, however, agree with going GREEN

I think being a cry baby in the weeks and months before worked to my advantage. I was SO worried I would be a complete mess the day of and shake so bad I wouldn't be able to stand. I had a good cry by myself the day before the wedding, one minor freakout moment after getting dressed and my mom put on my necklace. One I saw my man, it was smooth sailing. No tears at all during the ceremony, but I think it helped that I could barely understand the officiant! LOL. Hang in there!

I would say do a pic from the wedding on the front and a personal note on the back. Luck for all of us; this could only work for a DW! Oh the joy of not being bound by tradition!

DH got his suit at Macy's it was Calvin Klein and looked quite nice. A kinda beigy color. My bro who walked me down the aisle just wore beige linen pants and a white short sleeve linen shirt. I think my SIL got them at Kohl's. I have actually seen a few shirts there that would be totally acceptable. If you wanna make people spend a little more go for Tommy Bahama shirts at Macy's -
get everyone in the house on tamiflu. Ironic tid-bit: the day before I left for Mexico the dad of the family I nanny for got the flu, when he went to the doc they gave the whole fam a prescription so nobody else caught it. I thought it was kinda ironic that everyone was SO worried about our wedding in Mexico with the whole H1N1 thing and here it was, the day before we left, in the home of the family that I nanny for. Hope everyone is feeling better soon!

congrats and good luck. I just got married in Cancun last saturday at dreams. It is beautiful and I am sure there are many great resorts/hotels to choose from.

I used a TA and saved myself and everyone a lot of time and hassle. So glad I did; one less thing to worry about. In fact I have not planned a vacation without a TA in 5 years and probably never will!

I gave mine to him the night after our wedding before we left for our private dinner. This was not the original plan, but I didn't want to send it to his parents' room the day of the wedding where he was getting ready! Awkward! I'm glad I waited cuz I got to see the reaction first-hand and it was very special, a moment neither of us will soon forget. My only regret? Not having the camera ready, but the look on his face is forever etched in my memory
-
My favorite moment: My bro walked me down the aisle because my dad died when I was 13, so I told him he better have some good one-liners for the long walk cuz it was a little emotional without my dad. Just as we were about to walk, a bunch of our guests began pointing at the sky above the gazebo and my song began playing: somewhere over the rainbow and there was a rainbow directly above the gazebo where my honey was waiting for me!! A message from my Dad? I like to think so!

We had no probs in Mexico. Split the OOT bag stuff between four people and no questions asked. The customs forms actually say you only have to report if you are bringing over $10,000 (I think). Lucky you, if you can spend that on OOT bags!

It was really important to DH's parents to have an AHR, less so for my mom but she wanted one. We got what we wanted (DW) and they have agreed to pay for the AHR so we agreed to show up. Everyone is happy. We just felt like this is very important to them, so we'll do it, afterall they have been looking forward to this our whole lives too and chose to be very supportive when we went for a wedding that was far less traditional than what they would have chosen for us.

UPDATE: He wore pants!!!! I knew he would!

She sounds a lot like my DH's sister, who did not come to our wedding last weekend. If she had come, I really don't know what we would have doen with her whiny ass anyway. I don't understand the dynamice between DH and his sis cuz I am superclose with both of my sibs, but she is nuts and we both decded it was better that she wasn'
t there. Everyone had a great time

sorry I haven't been on in a long time ladies; busy w/ school, AHR, and now thank you notes! Lots of them.
I do have a question for past brides that had the legal ceremony: how long did you have to wait for the english translation of your marriage license? In MN, they won't let me change my name until I have the English version. Since I am pretty sure I have already paid for this through the wedding package, I don't want to pay again here and then receive it in the mail. Please advise. Thanks ladies
