My rings are platinum and I have had no problems with them (over 3 years). I think there is a lot to know about gold vs white gold vs platinum. I found an interesting article that might help: http://www.finishing.com/256/14.shtml

I was married at the Colonial last Oct. Only the bride and groom can cut off their bracelets. You must not lose them (put them in your safe). Take the cut off bracelets to the front desk the next day and they replace them.

I have never seen a list of Canadian vendors on this site but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Great idea!

@sunstarsmoon - That is so funny as the same thing happened to me. I visited Debbie with a couple of bouquet pics and did something totally different based on what I saw in her flower studio. I loved my bouquet and I am sure you will love yours!

FYI: I carried my real touch bouquet in my hand when I traveled to my destination wedding. My mother-in-law took them home in her suitcase and they arrived home just fine (to my pleasant surprise).

We are back from our wedding. We had a great time. Our wedding was fantastic! I hope everyone's Oct weddings went well!

I loved my flowers (pic posted above). They looked great! I wouldn't hesitate to do business with Enchanting Memories again!

Sorry to hear you are going through this. Things will work out...they always do.

@islandbride8 - I had my hair done at the spa a few weeks ago for my wedding (Colonial). They put so much hairspray on it that you don't have much to worry about. I was around the resort for the rest of the day (wedding and pics) and my hair looked great. I found the faster I walked, the more I sweated. If I kept my pace medium - slow, I didn't sweat or get over heated. I went to the MAC counter and had them do a practice makeover. The consultant wrote down all of the steps (with what color etc) and also had a picture that she applied the makeup to. It was easy to follow. I am glad I did my own as you never know if you will like your makeup when you have it done at a salon.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I look forward to sharing stories with everyone when I get back!

mexico102 - you make a very good point! I will try to focus on it day by day (I leave in 3 more sleeps!). It is too easy to find stuff to worry about. Thanks for the advice. Also want to mention to brides who have not left yet - I am bringing an energy product with me for the wedding day as I assume it will be long and hot and I will probably run out of energy with all of the photography and events planned. I bought 2 - one to try at home before the wedding and one for the wedding day. I am trying Energy+ All Natural Body and Mind Fuel. There are many energy products out there so find one you like. Good luck to everyone!

I have read great reviews about weddings at the JellyFish. I had looked into moving the wedding there but changed my mind as I like being close to my hotel room in case I need something. Plus we are only having 9 guests to our wedding (parents and siblings only) so we are just going to relax at the resort after the wedding dinner - listen to the resort band perform.

I leave in 4 more sleeps! I agree with you Hat0112 - can't wait to read all of the wedding stories in November!

You should inquire with the Jelly Fish Restaurant.They are a short cab ride from the Majestic and their pricing is quite reasonable. I have read great reviews from brides who had their weddings there. http://jellyfishrestaurant.com/jellyfish.html

Yahhhh! Good luck to all the OCT brides!

So what happened? Did she find another dress? I can't believe she waited that long to try it on...

ColoradoBride11 - All three are gorgeous but I like the hot pink ones best.

I personalized the bubba kegs with stickers I bought from Staples. I put everyone's initials and the Canadian Flag near the keg handle. I don't know if it will stay on but I had no other ideas...plus I put a jay-cloth dabbed with dish detergent in a ziplock bag in each keg - that way users can wash their kegs.

I bought my bubba kegs at Canadian Tire. They go on sale in Aug/Sept.

The wedding package includes the free dinner at one of their restaurants. I am having mine at the Steakhouse. It is semi-private but free. If you have a party at the Wet Bar/Parrot Bar etc, then you pay a fee. You can do speeches and cutting of the cake at the semi-private dinner.

Wow, Wendy! Sorry to hear about your Fi's accident.

I like the first pic - the one with more green as color will show more in pictures. It is a tough choice though as both are beautiful!

 Awesome! I have been planning our wedding for the last 15 months so when bubba kegs went on sale last Aug I bought the amount I needed for 50% off. I bought the automotive style bubba so that people could possibly get more use out of them.  FYI: I bought a package of j-cloths and cut them in half. Then I dotted them with Sunlight dish detergent and let them dry. After they dried, I put each cloth in it's own ziplock bag and put one in each Bubba - that way guests can wash their mug when ever they need to.

Simplnsweet - It is not too hard to put on. I looked up a few demo applications on youtube to learn how. Plus, don't buy a Tanner Application Glove - just buy a box of those see thru rubber gloves (you know, the ones that come in hair dye boxes) and a make up sponge to help blend where needed. They say you can use your bare hand to apply but to wash it often - but I prefer the rubber gloves. Â In the evening, I shower and exfoliate. Then I moisturize my knees, ankles, and elbows. I apply the tanner to body - let myself dry thoroughly and then I go to bed. I have not found it to stain my sheets at all. The reason applying it before bed is best is because getting water on the skin where the tanner is working will wash it off and then you will have a streak. Â Most of the color of the tan washes off with your morning shower. They put a brown in the tanner so you can tell were you have applied it and so you can apply it evenly. You still have a nice tan after the shower so don't panic if you see a lot of brown water at the bottom of the shower. Â If you want a darker tan, you can re-apply the next day I believe. I like the color tan I get from a once-a-week application so I don't know for sure what the minimum amount of time you have to wait between applications. Â After the 3rd time I used the tanner, I felt like a pro. I was much better and faster at it. Because of the brown dye in the tanner, it is really a fool proof way to apply it. Â Hope this info helps.
