great job!

wow love it!

kind of. I think you may have a issue like when you wear two things that are black but the blacks don't match.

So far as I can tell the Jade has a few more options for ceremony and receptions but don't quote me on that, i'm only going by the wedding books..I jsut like the look of sapphire slightly (very slightly) more

I think it's fine. Your family and friends will understand budget issues. and they really jsut want to help you celebrate!

Since it is also serving as your reception, it think it's fine that you are sending the invites.

oh thanks I will check it out!

I saw pics of aisle runenrs soemwhere and they were all smushed into the sand and lumpy looking. I guess it depends on how hard or soft the sand under it is

um no? I don't know who rebecca is,, i'm pretty new here and just going through to get ideas....who is Rebeca?

Thats awsome, I probably would have said the same thing. I was thinking actaully I may have my dad escort me from my room to some staging area, where he can then group up with my mother and I can meet FI.  Then the photographers will have plenty of time to get father/daughter pics, and I will still get to walk with FI.

For reference to my personality:  My now brother-in-law asked my father for my sister's hand in marriage before proposing.  When my Dad told me, I responded with: If a man ever asks you for my hand, you had best turn him away and tell him that he needs to rethink how well he knows me.

well is still have over a year and I think I hav efound my dress.. but i wont order it for a while, in case I change my mind and or size

fabulous! congrats

wow

pretty are you donig a TTD?it would look super under water!

both are pretty!

hmm this sounds like a great idea.. I have too many sisters and freinds that would be hurt if they weren't picked, but making them all bridesmaids would be silly. IT would be half our guest list! lol

I can't even imagine,, thankfully she lives in another country, not that she;s not a very nice woman, but she would get me flusterd in no time.

My future MIL (actually the entire family) is notorious for being up to an hour late for things... so I'm telling everyone it will start 1/2 hour earlier,, then if they are late,, too bad I'm not waiting.

3:00-4:30 Social Hour with Mariachis, we took pictures during this time
4:45-6:15 Food, toasts, thank yous and cake
6:30 or so - we watched the sunset from the room of the house
7:00 or so - we all hit the pool and hot tub

We kept it super simple... I was worried about having a father daughter dance, cake cutting, all the other traditional things people do, but we really only had a little push back from MIL when we didn't cut the cake in front of everyone. I think the key is to keep things flowing. People liked that it wasn't a traditional wedding.

I'm a bit conflicted on this, I kinda feel like I'm not a little girl to be "given away" I"m freaking 33 and paying for this! But I know my dad would be disappointed.

 

soooo I'm thinking I might want my FI and I to walk down the aisle together. Maybe have my mom and dad come in together, then his mom(no dad) , then us. It seems more appropriate at this stage in our lives.

sorry about this and I hope things work out  and make you happy!

I'm a bit over my usual weight but I don't seem to be dropping any even with adding daily walks and really watching my eating.Mostly I miss my old clothes!

never heard of it

Oh so many choices I jsut don't know

oh love the starfish idea!

very cute!

Love the candle idea..
