Island Bride

oh no! Yeah we had a call the other day that my FI's great aunt tried to book a room and they told her they were sold out! They said they even sold out our 10 rooms we paid for, for our wedding party and us!! So I know how it feels Luckily ours was resolved and I hope yours gets resolved too! good luck girlie!

so sorry to hear this! my maid of honor just moved out of country on a whim after meeting a boy from there.. 2 months before my wedding. so i can feel your pain. it sucks, but theres nothing we can do about it and us brides have enough stress going on that we really cant afford to stress about this.

Ohh Good Idea! I need to invest in some good waterproof mascara! Too bad we have no Mac's around here

Awesome! and Congrats!!

Victoria Secret and Old Navy have some nice sun dresses. I know you want cheap and some of VS are moderatly priced. Good Luck. I need to work on this too!! I've been browsing for days and got like 2 dresses

I definitly will. Thank you for the advice Chipotle99!

haha when I first found this forum, I would stay up until like 6am just going thru all the old posts. I especially saw myself clinging to peoples Planning Thread's. It has truly helped me SO much. I almost feel like a destination wedding expert so, no hunny, you are NOT alone.
