And finally. . . my Reese.

And here is one of the girls, how cute is she! haha the dress is way too big on her

Heres my FG's dress, I highly recommend this seller on ebay. Very reasonable dresses and high quality. Plus the dresses came in three days! (I have two FG's) and here are the shoes they are wearing too, from payless eBay Store - 87sweetgirl: Flower girl dress, co5 white dress, co5 ivory dress

I'm having the train made smaller though as it's too long for me i think... Ambrosia - by Maggie Sottero OMG this is a BEAUTIFUL dress, congrats!! Oh, a little off topic on this thread but I love your hair in your siggy!! Its almost exactly what I want for my hair (from what I can see). You don't have any pics of it from the back do you? haha ok back to dresses!

msglave geez, it can't be stressed enough to keep all your emails! This is a little ridic! I added a cocktail hour at 10/pp (that is for cold cocktails), I believe the "hot" option is 20/pp. I have no idea where the 15/pp came from Congrats on your 15 guests! And I would also like to know about OOT bags. I hear its like $5 for each bag for them to hand deliver them to rooms. Those thieves! I thought about waiting for my guests in the lobby on the day they arrive to give it to them but that is a lot of work and I want to lay on the beach and relax!!

Congrats on your upcoming, and beautiful, wedding!! I love your colors, they are mine as well. Those flowers are really going to pop against your bridesmaids dress. Have a great wedding and have FUN!!

Hey, any of your FI's going golfing or anything with the guys, and if they are, where are they golfing at? Oh, has anyone been able to book at Veronicas or have a phone number for them?

Yay Lexibride!! Looks great!

So, i actually did it the way that vdaybride just said. I asked my best friend first and three of my very close friends, only one of which could not go before they booked. I didn't ask the last one until after she booked because I really thought she could not go, and I think she was a bit confused why I waited until I told her. I wish I would have asked her sooner. I think everyone understands no matter what you do. I think it is important to let your girls know that you understand as well, if they are not able to go.

My dress was the one the manager picked out and would have been my last choice! More importantly, HAVE FUN!!! you have plenty of time so no stress

Also what are you ladies doing with the ring bearer during the ceremony? Are going to have him sit or stand up with the other grooms men? jesmcan we don't have a RB but do have two flowergirls. I think it would be neat for them to stand with the BM's and the same for your ring bearer! Plus, the flowergirls' mom is a BM so it works out well

RaychelRae what about these, they are more berry than fuschia however Chinese Laundry - Shoes - Shameless

those are AMAZING!!! Those would be my perfect shoe too, exactly what I want!!

I was wondering if anyone has any insight on wearing your diamond rings down in Mexico. A little worried the "rock" (haha) will get negative attention. Some people have advised me to leave my ring at home. What are you girls doing? I really want to bring mine down! what do you mean by negative attention? What's the reason for leaving it at home other than the risk of losing it (which happens almost daily to me anyways-haha!)?

haha, we were just up there in december, -30 deg, our car didn't start to come back home!! oh well, I think the summers make up for it. and yes, we will be starting at mayo (both graduating from med school in may. . .big month for us!!)

and I just talked to my friend who was at the Royal earlier this year and said that even by 4pm there is little to no people left on the beach, you should have a near "private" ceremony!

Dianep We leave in 30 days too!! AAAAHHHH!! It is starting to feel real now that everything is in the final stages. I just had my first "real" shower yesterday (had a lingerie party earlier) and it feels so weird. Also, my man has been gone for the past month and comes back right before the wedding so I can't wait to see him! btw, dianep, he's up there by you in Rochester where we will be moving to in June, we LOVE it up there in Minn!

Wow, that actually looks very pretty! Im glad b/c Im just doing basic setup, yay. Thanks for posting that pic jesmcan!

Wow, what a wonderful planning thread. . . your wedding is going to be beautiful!! I love the grandparents frame and hope to borrow your idea. I just love the feel of your planning, it seems so personal and like it came from your heart. Congrats you two!!

same for me, just more private. Plus, I wanted my reception on the beach so I thought everyone would get sick of the sand being on it all day!

luna I hired mike cantarell for our video since he is so highly recommended. I am going to use his group as well for my photos (i decided this later to avoid more vendor fees). if you find his work online he seems to have good work. www.cancunweddingvideo.com

Yeah, Im just doing placecards too! I don't like the idea of telling people where to sit since it is a DW. If this were back home I would def have assigned seating at the reception. dianep- sex on the beach. . I love it!
