Ive seen them at Urban Outfitters in West Edmonton Mall

Ok I have totally not been in on this thread at all but have been watching and just need to say...Holy Crap what is wrong with this guy There's a reason your single buddy. If I went bungy jumping with you and you practically curled up in a ball crying I would definitely be like "peace out" and leave you on that bridge!

Haha and that is why you should proofread before printing ...Oh well, I can just hope that people are drunk before they read it Thanks for all the dress comments...In my opinion pronovias is the shiz!

Haha ...It's a staple when I'm drunk

Jean-Marcus posted a thread with pictures of numbers he took in the sand (THANK YOU!!!!) so I got the pictures from him and just backed them on cardstock and punched them with a starfish and bubble stamp from michaels. I got the wooden easel stands at a dollar store and just stained them.

You're going to have a great time. Last, as always, post more pics, and best of luck1 OH and can you tell me where you got your scatter jewels!? I think I spent too much for too little quantity.... Thanks! Thanks!!! I know your supposed to be fancy on your wedding day, I was just more concerned I wouldnt be able to do the worm/ limbo etc. haha I got the jewels at michaels with a 50% off coupon, I think it made them like $3 per bag and I bought 5 bags.

Super hot! I love that you have one outdoors!

Im sorry I just realized some of these pictures decided to be HUGE even though all my pics were the same

Favor Jars: (I bought the jars at micheals, and tied the ribbon on myself) There are filled with fruity mento's Whiteboard Guestbook: (Whoever originally had this idea...YOU ROCK!!! Im so pumped for this part) Hangover Kits: (There isn't a condom in all of them, just a "joke" for our single guests) Table Numbers: Center Pieces: Welcome Booklet: I have like 8 pages attached to this thing so If you want to see the whole thing PM me Here's a little preview of the most important page I think that's all ...Oh man Im soooooooooooooooooo excited! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

Bridal Hair: So I have SUPER curly (not nice curly, frizzy curly hair) I can straighten it and it looks good here, but in humidity ..not a freaking chance! Sooo to cut down on wedding day stress I decided I will "tame" my hair by pinning it all back and hairspray the crap out of it and let extensions do the work! I'll let you girls know how that turns out Bridesmaids Gifts: I was so excited to give these to my girls. We went out for a nice dinner and I gave them to them on saturday. They LOVED them!! Groomsmen Gifts: The guys will be wearing these on our wedding day! The Cake: We'll see how well this gets re-created. I ordered it from Sheila's bakery. The bottom layer will be vanilla with strawberry filling and the top will be chocolate. It will only be 2 layers and no flowers on top. Cake Topper: Flowers: Ive ordered my flowers from Tai Flora. I can't copy the picture due to copyright issues but my 3 bridesmaids are getting long stemmed white calla lilies and I am having the same but with a few orchids mixed in. I'm also getting white paper lanterns to hang at the poolside reception from them, an isle runner and rose petals. The total for all of this was $960.00 Reception DIY stuff: Starfish name tags: These will be at each persons place setting at the table (I purchased these off Etsy)

Holy Crap I cannot believe it's already my turn to do this. We leave on friday morning at 5:15 am in an excursion limo with 43 friends and family to Jamaica!!!!! Thank you to everyone on this forum. With the amount of info (or lack of info) you get from the resorts and the slow emails, I think I would have gone crazy planning a DW without you guys!! I would also like to thank whoever I "borrowed" templates from (I definitely can't remember right now haha) but it was greatly appreciated. I can't wait to be laying on a beach drinking rum !!! The Engagement: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...t-story-34698/ The Resort: Riu Ocho Rios Hotel, Jamaicas Newest All Inclusive Resort We are staying at the Riu Ocho Rios in Jamaica for 2 weeks. We are going to have our ceremony on the beach at 2pm and our reception at the poolside. The Rings: We bought all of the rings at Spence Diamonds in Calgary My engagement ring: Wedding Bands: Boarding Pass Invitations: My Dress: I bought a Pronovias Ladera dress in Ivory (probably a little to fancy for the beach) haha I'm realizing this 3 days before I leave..Nice! Oh well I LOVE it so I'm going to rock it! My Hair Flower: Garter: I know I know they lost via interception but I still have to support them I got this from Etsy Seller 'Garters by Kristi' Grooms Suit: We got these at RW&CO Chris will be the only one wearing a jacket, the guys will just have on white shirts and the tie. Until they strip naked due to melting! Bridesmaid Dresses: We got these from BCBG.

Congrats and welcome!

Haha I agree Nadine, me too!

Heres what I read off her website: Marathon sessions include 150+ proofs in a digital online gallery that is password protected. Digital negatives/files may be purchased for an additional fee. The proofs and files on the digital negative discs are not retouched. However all images ordered as prints or included in an album incluse retouching at no additional cost. There are several different album options which begin at $250.00 and prints start @ $20.00

Hey Tait is AWESOME!!! The sit in fee is 150 (but you get a 50 dollar discount for booking together) They have marathons at hotel Arts, I think one is coming up really soon. When I looked into it, it was going to be $500.00 and thats with the session fee, hair & makeup and a photobook. Nadine, Right now it is of both of us together. Thats the problem, I cant think of a song together. Maybe I should show us growing up seperate and then have us together when older ...that would make it ALOT easier. Thanks for the suggestions

Hey girls Im totally off topic here but do you guys have any ideas for a good song (not too sappy, not country, for a slideshow during the reception? I need the song to be playing when all the baby/teenager pics of us are up...Ive seriously listened to like 50 songs in the last 3 hours and still haven't picked one haha. And holy crap! So many new Calgary girls....Welcome everyone!!!

Same situation for me except my step dad doesn't want to walk me down the isle with my dad and to be quite honest I think it would be too awkward for both of them. So I finally came up with the solution that my dad is going to walk me to the isle and my step dad is going to walk me down the isle and Im going to see if the preist can somehow ask each of them about giving me away. Ive told my step dad this already but not my real dad (Ive avoided this for an entire year!!!!!) This has been the hardest part of my wedding but I realized you just need to say screw it and not worry about what anyone else thinks, they will get over it. Oh man, I leave in 9 days I should probably get on telling my dad haha Good luck!

That's really crappy. I hope you are ok!!!!!!! Definately sending positive vibes your way
