Kerry.... As the others have said, im sure the corsages match the BM dresses, but if your really concerned about the colours then ask the hotel if they can do them in matching colours for your Mum and MIL :-) Worth a try? x  Vicki.... I did the NEC last October was a really good day :-) Wish i was going again but no can do this year!!! :-( On the poem front imnot to clever with words so cant help sorry!!! But i like what you have so far x Â

LanaM, Welcome along chick... congrats on the wedding.... i know what you mean, i thought the choosing the location was the hardest part..... x  Oooo, hope your gana post 1 or 2 of your engagement pix barbiegirl? :-) x Â

Congratulations Lyndsey, great feeling isnt it :-) x

Ok... i can totally understand where your coming from... I was the one looking at what everyone else might like and what we like... Stephen on the otherhand was like well are we getting married for us or everyone else? Were not heartless dont get me wrong but then i started think along the lines of Stephen...Actually yes we are getting married for us.... SO why am i looking for a resort for everyone else?  So we looked for what we wanted and found exactly what we wanted in the Iberostar Grand Paraiso the only problem with this is its adults only.... So we checked with stephens sis to see if she definatly would be coming as they have a wee girl, we had to check as we didnt want to change location on the fact they "might" be coming. anyway they said they were definatly coming so we looked again. So we were kinda stuck the as we were like, i thought we wanted what "WE WANTED" so along came the compromise.... I want to get married with what friends and family and i love kids and i know Amélie will make us all proud and if my sis can come (i still secretly wish) then she will have 2 kids by the time we get wed...  So we looked again and found the RIU which we fell in love with and it caters for kids too... FANTASTIC :-)  So in the end we have chose a resort to suit others BUT at the same time it also suits "US" as we want family there and i know if we stuck to our original choise then we would have been misrable on our wedding day as we wouldnt have been to have the people we wanted there and as much as were getting married for "US" we still want people who we love there to celebrate with us.  We are now so so so happy with our choice, and the more i look at the pix the more and more i know we have made the right choice...  The hardest part of all is choosing the resort i think.... we looked for 12 months + before we finally decied on what we actually wanted and what country we wanted......  So in the end the compromise actually turned out not to be a compromise after all...........  xoxo

They are brilliant Josie :-) Really brilliant. I have been looking for some personalised playing cards but they are so expensive.... May have to steal your idea x

Brilliant bonus :-) And bet its a great feeling now you have ordered your rings x  Oh no, what a cow.... more so she did it when you were away.... Good riddance i say :-) Great idea to get a piece of jewellrey that you like!! Cant wait for more pix & of course the review...

Im wanting to do something like that with our fave pic :-)  Yeah, im with you about the Wowser Trousers comment from Jo..... She is a comic :-) x Â

Welcome back roo... Yep, as the others have said... Sod the washing.... We want the review & pix :-) x  Glad your Hen is booked Michelle..... AFTER ive got my arse in gear and ordered my dress then that is what im going to arrange!!! :-)  I emailed my resort photog as i wanted to see samples as i was getting a little worried anyway here is his website, www.calypsofoto.com I dont actually think they are bad, they are lovely i so i dont think i have anything to worry about!!!! What do you girls think? Ive not really looked at other photog's as i know we cant afford so i dont really have anything to compare... but honest opinions please....... :-)  Yeah, like you Michelle, i love Jo's post on here ALWAYS makes me chuckle :-) Your little boy is just so cute.... i love that little suit.... Arrrrrrrr, id be worried a as bride with that little cutie as i want all eyes on me!!!!  Thanks Lisa..... hopefully in the next few weeks i will have some some thigns to flash and post so i wont feel so much like a spare part :-)  Im still deciding about OOT bags i have a few bits, so i may not go all out like some of you but maybe just do a wee welcome bag, with just 1 or 2 things :-) x Watch this space x  xox

I prob sound as harsh as you but im the same... ofcourse i want wedding pix (professional) but i also cant justify spending loads and being in debt my married life.... xox Â

The day pass is around $80, That is what the WC has told us :-) x  What has made you get married off resort? Where are you getting married? xox

Quiet on here lately x  Im hoping to get my active wedding head on in the next few weeks.... Im at a dead end at the mo!!! Im off work on hol for a fortnight after this week so hopefully it will come back to me.....  7 months 3 weeks to go and i havent even ordered my dress :-(  ARGH!!!!!!  xoxox

I seem to have hit a dead end lately.... Not really done anything weddingy for a while... feel a bit of a spare part lately :-( Â Im off for a fortnight after ths week so no doubt my wedding head will come back then, and i can start getting a few more things together and re-working my list etc :-) Â I would love to get an outside vendor for photog, if it was maybe just a matter of cost for that i would be ok, but just cant affort a nights stay for one!! Would work out way too expensive i think.... i have emailed our resort photog for samples but not heard back yet..... Â Great idea having both mum and dad.... You make me laugh Susan..... with your "and they BOTH did make you after all lol" comment!! Haha :-) Â Michelle... WOW... Love the length of ya list.... Fantastic...... :-) Â ARGH....... 7 Months, 3 weeks and 1 day for us, Cant believe were nearly in the 6 months...... It has flew since May when we booked it..... It scares me when i think about it as i havent even ordered my dress yet!!!! ARGHHHHH..... Roll on my weeks off work...... I need my wedding head back :-) Shit, i havent ordered my dress... reading that back i have just scared myself even more!!! Â xoxo

Wish i had 50/80 guests like some of you lot on here :-) x

I know this isnt the same as you girls as im lucky enough to still have my dad here, but when i thought they werent coming to the wedding then i had it in my head i would walk "down the aisle" myself... Even if we had lots and lots of guests and i had a choise, i would have gone myself as to me i dont think it would have felt right having someone else give me away!!!! xox Difficult position to be in!!! Â xoxox

Thought id found my shoes... That was until i just looked at your link.... Hmmmmmm Decissions, decissions :-s x

Josie.... Fantastic invites :-) Love them lots, im sure your guests will too... great idea makng it "official" with them... a littl ekeep sake for guests x   ARGH....... VAT increase... Forgot all about that :-( will maybe have to get the rings aot sooner than thought!!!! Thanks for the reminder :-) x  Vicki... The shoes are gorgeous... BLING BLING!!!! :-) They will go perfectly with the dresses i think x Quote: Originally Posted by herbie76 Great news ladies I have had my date confirmed today by the wedding department I am officially getting married 2nd August 2011 at 3pm at The Sensatori resort beach, woohoo!

Im like you, i would so want to pack..... I think i will get our cass well into next year..... :-) x

I was totally like you swapping and changing my mind on everything..... Shoe wise i think i have seen and liked and bought a few pairs and no doubt i will buy some more before we go.. haha.... BUT BUT BUT Your dress is gorgeous, lovely choise x I really cant believe how many different wedding dresses there are, i never really wanted one in the begining just any dress would have done me but when the excitment hit me that i was geting married and i started to look, i couldnt believe it.... We all on here have such different tastes but the one we do have in common is we all have GREAT taste at that :-) xox  For 80 guests if it was me i would prob opt for the buffet :-) Your one lucky bride... 80 guests x WOW x

What a brilliant idea Something o be talked about forever x To make your special day more memorable x  Thomsons wedding depart i have to agree are terrible.... "wedding department" to me in the name suggests that they deal with weddings but most times when i called you'd think i was talking in a foreign laungage or talking about something other than weddings.... as none of them seem to have a clue.... I would highly suggest (and did at one point) they put their "wedding" department on some sort of training course.... xox  Arrrr thats lovely Josie :-) Your FI will be so so made up x  All this s making me want to do some sort of suprise for Stephen... Hmmm, but what?! LOL xox  Great news on your dad :-) Sad news on your grandad but lovely to know he is comfortable and the very best is being done for him x Hugs x

Gate crashing this thread too, but i agree with Josie... Do lots & lots of research,you will get tons of info on here and you will find every one of your requirements im sure.... :-)  Come join in the other UK thread http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/58664/any-brides-from-the-uk  We have collected a great wealth of information about a few different resorts.  You will have to prioritise what really are the most important things.....  Who said DW planning would be easy :-) x  CONGRATULATIONS by the way on your engagement xox

I have been missing for what seems like AGES.... been popping in now and again but feel like a spare part at the mo as have nowt new to report!!!! :-(  Gorgeous :-) Absolutly lovey x  Still not getting any..... :-( Im reading the Harry Potter books at the mo, im on book 6 and have read them back to back... never read before but v. good... BUT they are my dreams at the mo!!! LOL :-)  So glad your all booked :-) Am going to have to have a nosey on Tripadvisor at where your going me thinks x  ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, CONGRATULATIONS :-) Enjoy ya honeymoon, catch up when you get back..... x  I had a message from mine today at 4.30 but missed just said to call back but i missed her so will call tomorrow, ah well at least you have put my mind at rest as id have been worried all night!!!!! Hope it dosent affect the cost? :-s  YIPEE Fantastic news xox Thats brilliant x  Thanks for that Michelle.... Dosent mention cost so hopefully we be ok !!!!!!!!!!  xoxox Â
