I totally agree!!! That is all that matters. And, honestly, who would be upset with three hours of downtime when ur in Mexico. . .on the beach! I try not to be bridezilla but its so hard when they charge an arm and a leg for the tiniest things. Im just mad in general about that!

So, since I was so upset they immediately transferred me on to the Mexico WC's and Ive been working with them every since. They gave me a discount on my cocktail hour to make up for it, big woop! And, they are completely booked for weddings on May 14 so it will be plenty packed that day, no later timeslots. Ill try to get the day passes worked out when I get there, b/c that isnt my fault!

Lady Di, I am running into the same problem and starting to get really mad about it. Long story short, a huge miscommunication happened so now I have a 2pm wedding with a 6 pm reception with a cocktail hour. I also have non-royal guests. Michel at the resort told me the people would have to pay for a day pass or leave the property for the three hour break. . . arghh, makes me more mad just thinking about it. But for my royal guests I put in my itinerary to take some time for themselves (ie nap, drinks at the bar etc).

Oh, and thank you so much Cindy and Michelle!!

Hi Kate I was just wondering, are those white linen pants that your FI has on (that the groomsmen will wear)? If so, where did you get them? We found some but have one tall GM (my brother is 6'5) and one very round GM and can't seem to find linen pants that accomodates that. Thanks!

This isn't final but we thought "now my feet won't touch the ground" by Coldplay

Also can you tell me if the dress on your flower girl is too big because you ordered too big or do the dresses run big. Thanks! Cindy They do run true to size, we actually grabbed her older sisters dress and put it on her so thats why its so big. And the lady offers free returns if you did have to return it. The back has the same bodice look as the front and the bow ties in back. flower is a pin so you can remove it too! Hope this helps!!

As for support, have you thought about having cups sewn in? I was told it can be done for mine and I am definitely going to do it. Have you found shoes yet?? Gorgeous!! Congrats! Thanks trinas!! Yeah cups will help but it just seems like the boning in the bodice isn't supportive enough. oh well, its mexico (my favorite excuse!) You will love this dress!! Excited for you! Here are my shoes. . .

Quote: Originally Posted by dianep both our ceremony and our reception will be right on the beach, so the sand rules out any kind of real shoe, let alone any heel. i found these little flip flops last fall and didn't even think about using them as my wedding shoes until after i had them home! oooh, I LOVE these. I just love anything with flowers on them. Great find dianep!

Aww, thanks beck and lisa! It is very light and flowy, I just wish it had a little more support for the girls!

I know!! We were really skeptical about the price, I mean $20!!! but it is a high quality dress and the flower on the sash is too cute for words

Thanks for posting this! Ok really stupid question, so I made my monogram and want to make tags for oot bags etc. What is the best way to have them made? I cant seem to find anything on vistaprint and don't want to go through to hassle of printing on cardstock and cutting 100 tags. Thanks!

Disappointed that mine doesn't have nice names like all of yours though!! Beautiful choices ladies!! JD1248 - by Maggie Sottero Absolutely Gorgeous!! Perfect for a DW. Congrats, its a good feeling, huh?!!

I'm very jealous. (in a nice way ;o) Thanks Michelle!! Yes, I love your hair! I might try copying it-hehe. Thanks for posting it

Mishka These are adorable!! I love the color combination. You are working on some maracas for my May wedding and can't wait to see them! Just amazing!

My fiance and I were thinking we could play like dumb big kids and leave it at their door, knock, and run real fast. Dumb, by fun. haha!! that sounds like fun, and a really good idea! Might steal this from ya

a little small but the second pic is of our dogs with a sign that says "please marry our mommy today". I crack up everytime I look at it!!

Hey everybody. . . I just had to let everyone know about this awesome website. its mypublisher.com and I absolutely love it. I used it to make a photo album of FI and my trip to Europe (one of his gifts) and a card to present to him on our wedding day (thanks Andi- got the idea from you and couldn't pass it up!!!). It was super cheap and both showed up in a couple of days, very quick, very easy (they even have a real time chat if you have any questions).

Lexibride- these BD shoot are not about being perfect, because NONE of us are. It definitely helps when you feel sexy at these shoots (I just had mine). As skadow said before, use something that makes you feel sexy. For me it was heels, so i brought a TON of heels. Also, take time to practice in front of your mirror at home, it good for immediate feedback, you see what looks good (ie sticking out boobs and butt, sucking in tummy). After all is said and done, your FI thinks you are perfect the way you are so show him something he will NEVER forget. . . go for it girl. . . knock his socks off!!!

OOOhhh, I really like this. It is different from the usual welcome letter. good job!

Ok, heres my ring. Custom made by my FI, he is just the best! and with the wedding band, which has to be fitted to it,
