Welcome to the forum!! We originally wanted to go to Cuba for our wedding, but we couldn't for logistical reasons. I'm sure yours will be amazing!! Good luck!

AWESOME pics!! LOVE your cake!!

Welcome!! YES-it can be very overwhelming in the beginning! But trust me--you have come to the right place! Just take it one step at a time...good luck!

Welcome! Your wedding is fast-approaching!! Good luck!

Congrats and welcome!! There definitely is lots of info here, but just have fun with it!! Good luck!

Those are really pretty!! I love the attention to detail with the silver-lined envelope! Your guests will be excited to receive them!

Welcome!! This is my first (and only!!) forum as well!! Once you get the hang of it, it will be your most treasured resource!!

Welcome! You're right--this is such an amazing forum for sharing ideas!! Good luck and have fun!!

I agree! The Jamaican cake sounds good, and it would definitely add to the "traditional" aspect of the wedding...but to be safe, we decided on vanilla. Thanks for the description of the cake--definitely helped me to imagine what it would look and taste like!

That was soooo cute! I love the little nibbles!! They try so hard!!

Too funny! Hopefully the email didn't backfire on her though! Hopefully her guests understood her intentions and didn't get too offended!!

Welcome Artese! Your ticker is so cute! You have lots of time to plan for a perfect vow-renewal!! Good luck!

Lots of decisions in the beginning!! But you've got some time to work things out. And now you have the support and expertise of the ladies (and some gents) from this forum!! Congrats and good luck!!

I DEFINITELY like it!! Especially since it matches your BMs! Very cool...

The same thing happened to us! We were totally against doing a registry (we've been living together for a while and didn't need much). But people kept asking for our registry info...so we caved and registered at The Bay and at Home Outfitters. To be honest, we didn't find a lot at The Bay, but we LOVED Home Outfitters!! We felt it was organized better and items are generally cheaper, so we didn't feel as guilty putting them on the registry. Anyway, have fun with it! The registry people are very nice, and once you get your price-code gun, the fun begins!!

You have definitely come to the right place for info and tips! Congrats and welcome!

Wow. This is crazy! Like some of the others have said...don't cancel!! You have put way too much time and love into the planning. Getting married the day before you leave totally sucks, but I'm positive it will still be way more beautiful and memorable than cancelling and re-doing everything to have a local wedding... We are all crossing our fingers for you...

And to make you feel a bit better, our TA also was very shocked that the original flight booked up so early. It was filled up in April and wasn't departing until November!! That's 7 months!! However, our TA was told directly by Sunquest that they often hold back on adding an extra flight because they don't want to have too many open seats. I guess they slowly release more seats based on demand. She was told that since the original flight filled up so early, there was a very good chance that they would be adding another flight...and they did (luckily)! And it sounds like maybe this will happen for you too?? I really hope so because even though your guests will be willing to drive to other cities for another flight, it would be soooo much better if you could all leave Toronto together!!

That's awesome! Congrats!! The beginning of the engagement and planning is sooooo exciting! Enjoy the ride! Welcome to the forum!

I know this has happened to a lot of us flying out of Toronto (and maybe other parts of Canada). In fact there was another thread a couple of months ago about this situation. My situation was also similar... Back in March, my fiance and I confirmed a group booking through Sunquest (flight and hotel for our November wedding). At that time there were lots of seats available. All of a sudden, in April, my TA called to tell me there were only 9 seats left!! We hadn't even sent out our invites!! I totally freaked out! However, my TA reassured me that this happens all the time, and that Sunquest "always" adds another flight as the date gets closer. So we crossed our fingers, and we went ahead and sent out our invitations as planned, with our original travel info included. It was super-stressful, but in the end, Sunquest did add another flight and over 200 more seats opened up for us. Apparently this happens all the time...but trust me--I understand that the situation is really frustrating. It's hard to plan when the only answer you have is "MAYBE or USUALLY another flight will be added." Sorry I can't give you more answers, but at least you know you're not alone...

What an amazing accomplishment! You should be very proud of yourself. You must feel awesome!!

Awesome! Love the bag!! Your guests will be super-happy!!

You've got a great start with a date and location! Now the fun begins as you plan out all the details! Welcome and good luck with everything!!

We would love to wait to give them to our guests after we arrive at the resort, but we decided that it's easier to give it to them at the airport. Luckily for us, almost all of our guests are flying out of Toronto on the same day, so we plan to arrive at the airport a bit early and greet them before they check their bags. It's definitely not as exciting as giving it to them at the resort, but it will save us some hassle...my sister-in-law did it this way, and it worked out okay...just another option...

Those look awesome! I love the little pictures! Your guests will be so excited to receive them!!
