I felt the same way about the first dress I bought, I'm a size 0 also and it took forever to pick out my first dress. I think I picked it because it was the first one that looked ok on me, but I wasn't in love with it. Soooo I eneded up buying a second dress dress that I absolutley love and fell in love with the very first time I put it on, so I knew it was the one. Go with your gut feeling, either way you will be beautiful on your special day.

congrats Erin, I'm soo happy for you. now less than 3 weesk before your big day whoohoooo.......

Stopping in to say Hi ladies, I see we have all been busy lately. Erin I hope everything works out with FI's daughter and teh hair flowers are beautiful.

Christin how exciting, my mom bday is the 7th and my FI's is the 14th what kind of favors did you get I am still trying to figure what to do about favors ?

Hey Jenise, I will email you a picture of me in the dress, its not a very good picture but just so you can see what it looks like. I'm very petite so the dress is a size 4. I'm not doing my own vows but I am going to say alittle something to him after the pastor does his part.

Thanks Jenise, Yes I'm going to sell it on the forum, ebay, craigslist, and anywhere else I can to get rid of it. It shouldn't be a problem since its brand new, never been worn or altered.

Everyones dresses are gorgeous ! After going thru 2 dresses I have actually purchase my final and 3rd dress and I love it. While trying on the dress, I was soo excited that I forgot to take a picture of me in it. so heres a picture of it from the website. I will post a pic when I go in to get alterations done.

I just wanted to ask I noticed some of you are doing the free wedding package and adding stuff on. wanted to know why are you doing it that way is it because of the number of guest you are having at your wedding or because it would be less expensive? I am going crazy trying to figure out which way to go.... free wedding or Love / ultimate Also....is the resort charging extra for a private reception and open bar Thanks in advance..... Terri Hi Terri welcome to the forum, I chose the free package because I didn't want or need some of the things in the other packages and it came out cheaper for me to do it this way. The private reception and open bar are inculded in whichever package or choice you make. Toya

Welcome and congrats fellow DPC bride, come join the DPC thread we share an abundance of information with each other and it really comes in handy when our WC's don't respond fast enough lol..... Happy Planning !
