  1. I got mine from a recommendation from a co-worker at an Art Gallery. She is currently living in Bloomington IL. I love her we just did our engagement pics with her she is amazing. Let me know if you want her info. Here is the link with some of my e-pics: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...ictures-52702/ And here is her blog: Britten Traughber Photography
  2. Congrats! I have been waiting impatiently for this review!!! I'm glad everything went awesome and the church looks beautiful! I can't wait for mine now! Can't wait for the the other pics! You look gorgeous! Congrats Mrs!
  3. That is soo small. I hope they are both ok. Is her gall bladder issue taken care of? I like the name though.
  4. I was going to suggest a garter! I just got a Chicago Bears garter - I love it! It will be a great surprise for the guests.

  6. Thanks everyone!!! The heels are actually from my FI for my Birthday a year ago!
  7. Everything looks great! I love your jewelry - your hair - your dress & your shoes (I am doing blue too!) And I love the getting ready outfit is it like a jumper/ short outfit? Where did you get it? And I love the night of outfit too and your swimsuits & shoes - Well I guess I love everything!
  8. You should ask the Bridal store about a discount since you will buy the dress off the rack - I got 10% off mine because of that. You could also have it custom made by landy bridal or light in the box. Personally I haven't ordered from either but I keep seeing great reviews. That way you get THE dress for ALOT cheaper. Im sure you could sell the DB dress either here or another site online - but it may take a while (maybe sell your ttd dress too). Also have you tried searching the dress online to see if it is anywhere for cheaper? Also you might want to call around to the other booutiques -they might have it on sale. Good luck - Ultimatly you should get the dress you love - just skimp somewhere else.
  9. I am so excited we finally got our engagement pictures! We did them in Chicago with Britten Traughber (Britten Traughber Photography) She is AWESOME!! She lives in Central IL but is moving to Hawaii. I can't wait for the wedding pictures!
  10. I love how you had the entire skyline behind you - where did you go to get that background? I think you should make a photo book thats what I plan on doing with mine, that way I have all the pictures some where for others to see. Also I love the pics of you guys on the beach. I think that while a lot of the pictures were posed, you have some great non-posed ones. I love the ones of you guys laughing and the one where your FI is carrying you on his back! I can't wait to get mine we did ours in Chicago too.
  11. Dislike (but it does make me hungry) - I have one in the oven right now!! Voicemails?
  12. Also if you want to do it at home (sometimes I just don't have time or want to drive to a jewelers) Here is a how-to from real simple! I am actually going to do mine today! How To: Clean a Diamond Ring
  13. I haven't done it yet but I plan on checking a Rubbermaid container, that way I can leave the containers down there for the stuff I don't need to bring back home.
  14. sixth sense : Bruce Willis
  15. Everything looks amazing! Have fun it will be great!
  16. I don't know I think its totally your call, I am a little bitter to my FMIL so if she asked that I would think that she was trying to show me up or control something. I like the idea of him walking down with his grandma & mom-But it seems pretty common, so I think it is what you are willing to compromise on for your wedding day. But don't forget it is your & FI's day.
  17. Jessica and Edna Congrats on your weddings! We want to hear & see all about it!!
  18. Jessica - Its just under an hour from the Barcelo, and we are getting buses for all the guests to get to the church. I would ask your contact at the hotel how far away the church is.
  19. Well I don't have pics yet but here is my idea: Have the Mexican blanket/serape as a table runner: I ordered these maracas and I am going to put a pair or two on each table tied together by raffia. And in the middle have a photo holder similar to this (I am in the middle of making them) hold up our table names (events from when we have been together such as: graduation, engagement, trips, College Days, Love at first site) and pictures of those times. Finally there will be tea lights all around that. I have an image in my head I hope it all comes out right!
