I am addicted to this site, so if exercise includes finger stretches to hit the shift and return keys then YES

beautiful pics! Congrats

GREAT logos ladies, I am posting away so that I can get enough points to use some of them. Thanks for sharing!

I am sure you will look beautiful in either one that you choose, I like number 1 better, it made your family cry so it gets 2 +'s in the yes column from me.

Wedding Dresses - Wedding Cakes - Wedding Planning - Unique Wedding Ideas - By TheKnot.com lets you design your wedding website FOR FREE and there is an option to send a nice save the date that is designed with the background of your wedding website and there is a link on the save the date that directs people to your wedding website that will provide the guests with all of the information that they need to attend your wedding. I have received several compliments on both the site and the STD. Emailing the STD is universally used to save money and IMO economically correct lol. Good luck

Great info. I decided to order from cheapspirititems.com, my order was 65 total, including shipping.. thanks for the heads up MissyR!! I went to paperhouseonline and designed my cup here is the link to check them out.. not sized right, but just for reference: Paper House Online ~ Customize Your Product I think $1.30 per cup is not bad at all! I included the link for the cup I wanted and sent the instructions to cheapspirititems.com and they agreed to design it for me, but for cheaper I love a deal!

They are samples that were donated by the various designers, a portion of the money is supposed to go to charity. I bought my dress from Pronovias. The boutique is beautiful and my sales girl is Carmen. She is wonderful. She also worked at Kleinfields and was on "Say Yes to the Dress." They have BEATUIFUL dresses and the pricing is great they start at $1100 and goes up to $15,000. Good luck their site is Pronovias - Vestidos y trajes de novia - Wedding dresses and bridal gowns - grupo take a look at all the beauty!!

I hope not!! We exchanged heated words after she called my cell phone unexpectedly. She kinda has a substance abuse problem and before I knew what was happening I called her a drunken whore.. so mean I know, but it was in the heat of the moment. She sent me a text after I hung up on her saying "I will be sure to come to your wedding drunk" WOW, I literally laughed out loud on that one If that skank shows up I will have he escorted off the property. Unless she just shows up for the ceremony, then I will kindly ignore her, I wouldnt give her the satisfaction to show how upset I am. do people travel all the way to Mexico to crash weddings?!? ISLANDBRIDE....I really like you, we could definitely go out for drinks if we lived near each other LOL. Great comment! A lady after my own heart. Actually ladies I really appreciated ALL of the comments. Thanks so much for reassuring me that I am not being an uptight bridezilla. She makes my blood curl.. my FI has a bond with her sons (their father is "away" for 22 years!!) so he has really stepped in and shows them that they still have a male figure in their lives so that they don't stray. This psycho b*tch threatened that they will NEVER be allowed around him as long as I am in the picture.. and that the 17 yr old can't be his bestman, unless he finds another bride..so sad that she wouldn't put her sons feelings before hers. Thanks for letting me vent

Thanks so much..going to make a mad dash in a few hours.

They are cute, thanks for sharing

Looks great, take a few asprin before you go.

I will have OOT bags, and 2 favors as well. A fan in one of my wedding colors and a votive candle and a personalized candle holder

Some of the info (like doing a site visit (love to, no $ for it though!), planning caterers, flowers etc...) doesn't apply to AI resort weddings like mine but I know that it would be really helpful to other brides. Now that I think about it, it is not the best book for AI resorts, but I was still able to use stuff from it.

I have this book, it is great it even has pockets to hold your notes. You can just bring it along on the plane

Whew, great question, I sure didn't know what to do with mine either

Welcome to the forum.

congrats and welcome to the forum. This forum saved my sanity. I am sure you will feel the same way. So many helpful hints. Happy planning!!

thank you, very helpful

Ivory, red and chocolate brown for my Vday wedding
