My FI and I put in an offer on a house today... it really made me think. I'm getting old! I have established a career. I'm in control of my finances. I have a well behaved dog. I volunteer my time. I donate to charities. I own one house, soon I'll have two (hopefully- cross your fingers they accept our offer). I'll be married in 4 months... That's stuff people who are mature adults do! I still feel like a kid. Has anyone else felt this way I know I'm not a kid anymore but being an adult is scarey!!!!

Brandon Heath's Love Never Fails.

Girasole lives in Harrisburg and will I soon too. My FI and I are buying a house within the next couple of weeks! It is a very very small world! Michelle and I are planning to get together sometime after my wedding (May 14th) so I can share my successes and failures (hopefully not too many of those). You're welcome to join too!

Chrissy Our travel agent found a flight out of Newark NJ for $408 round trip (May 2010). It's 2 1/2 hours from my house but I'd rather save a couple hundred bucks and drive. Definitely get a travel agent to help you book your trip. They seem to get answers better and fast than I ever could. Good luck!

Cathedral length veil is taken. shorter veil and slip still available.

Free stuff, You pay shipping. I bought my wedding dress off of ebay a couple months ago. The seller sent me all the accessories with it but I don't need/want half of them. Up for grabs is: Slip- fits under a David's Bridal T9614 size 4 dress. Cathedral length ivory veil- single tier. Blusher ivory veil- still has price tag on ($20). I'm not good with describing the veils and am trying to get pictures of them. PM me if interested.

It's nice to know there are other brides with the same problem... We're only inviting our immediate families but my parents assumed I was inviting my extended family too and told them all about it. I saw everyone at a family Christmas party this weekend and they were wondering where their invitations are... ummm, no where, they aren't getting any. I understand other's positions of "the more the merrier." But merrier for who? Not me! I don't even want a wedding, the justice of the peace is fine with me. My FI wanted a wedding so I agreed to do a destination wedding hoping it would be less stress/money for us. I'd rather see the $10,000 being spent on the wedding going into our down payment on the house. Enough venting. I'm really not a wedding grinch but... It's your day, thank those wanting to come for their willingness to want to be there but explain you are keeping the guest list to a minimum because you want an intimate wedding. When you look back at your wedding, you don't want to remember being stressed out and upset because you have more people than you wanted or have a bill that is too big. You want to look back and remember it as the day you started your lives together. And yes- I love the "wedding crasher" t-shirt idea!!!!!

Why does it seem like there are so many brides from Pennsylvania picking Sandals and Beaches for their weddings? We all need to get together and compare notes!

Makes me a little nervous. Chrissy Don't be nervous... I've heard from other brides that it's hard to get answers from the Miami WC. Just be happy if she calls you the right name (she emailed me and called me my travel agent's name even though my name is in my email address!) Others have said once it gets closer to the time of your wedding, they seem to communicate better. I'm worried about the end cost, I'd like to know how much everything is up front so i can budget for it. We're trying to buy a house too so knowing how much we can spend on the wedding is a necessity... it's annoying with all the changes too- martha stewart and her collections don't appeal to me. The "carefree" wedding isn't turning out to be so carefree.

That's so helpful. Thank you. What time of the day did you get married? I like the shade :-) It looks like you got the carefree package- i don't see any of the preston decorations. Did you get to pick the plants you had? Did you do a reception afterwards? Thanks again for the info.

It is our hopes that our ceremony can be on the beach at the Beaches Resort in Turks and Caicos. My only concern with the site location is my mother. She is very obese and I don't think she will be able to walk very far in the sand. Does anyone know if special arrangements can be made to help my mom get to the beach area? Are their sites that are semi private but still easily accessible? Any suggestions?

Hi all! We're getting married May 2010 at Beaches Turks and Caicos too. I am really considering doing Trash the Dress photos with Tropical Imaging a day or two after the wedding. Has anyone compared prices with other photographers? Their pictures are beautiful but are they reasonablely priced? Does anyone else have info on the additions for the wedding? I know they are going through the whole Martha Stewart change but I'm starting to feel a little stressed because our wedding is less than 6 months away and i want to know how much to budget for all the extras we want to book... i'm mostly concerned with flowers and what the wedding locations choices are and what additions we can do that isn't the Martha Stewart stuff. Any help is appreciated! Kelly

Hi everyone, My name is Kelly and my boyfriend's name is Sterling. We're getting married May 14th, 2010 at the Beaches Resort in Turks and Caicos. Any info or suggests are greatly appreciated! Kelly

Is your dress still for sale?

I'm looking for David's Bridal dress style T9612 size 4. New in Ivory/Ivory or Ivory/Champagne.
