    WoW! Ladies, I can't believe it's time!! We picked up FI's tux tonight and I cried right there in the stored, I'm sure embarrassing him like crazy! LOL I was a mess. I finally picked the song I am walking down the aisle to. I've listened to it every day since then and not one single time have I made it all the way through without tears. Guess that means it's pretty much confirmed that I will cry on my wedding day. I am finishing sewing the trim on my veil tonight and about to start painting my monogram on the aisle runner while the FI is at his "semi-bachelor party. I finished all my DIY projects except the welcome passport books. Going to work on those over the weekend. I have a bridal luncheon with the work crew tomorrow and a bridal shower with the ladies from my church tomorrow night. Seems like my list is not getting any shorter. I assigned my shadow box for the sand ceremony to my dad and hoping he can cut a hole in the top to pour the sand in. We'll see how that goes. Worst case scenario, we'll just use a vase and I will have to carry it back home by hand, but I prefer the shadow box. Getting my mani/pedi on Tuesday and we leave at 3:30AM Wednesday morning so only one day of work left (Monday) and then a free day Tuesday to tie up loose ends. My God mother was so precious to rent us a limo to go to the airport in because anything otherwise would probably mean we miss our flight! LOL Only thing left is to find FI a band. I know, I know, sounds crazy but, let's just say that it didn't work out with the others we had so we're just going to buy a new one that's not that expensive for the ceremony then get a real one when we come back. It's been a crazy experience with that boy's ring, I tell ya! Oh, and my mom is stressing over the AHR reception because she wants to have it the day after Thanksgiving but most of the event facilities are closed for the holiday so now she is back to square one. Guess that's all for now. Have to go and get back to work!! Miss you ladies! Can't believe our time is here!! Let's pray for good weather!!

    Thanks girl! I appreciate your support. It does suck!

    I've missed you gals as well. I'm super excited but super nervous too.

    The check list you have, Are they generic or did you create them to suit you? I've been looking for some generic check list that cater to DW's but I can't really find any. I keep feeling like I am missing something.

    Thanks for the compliment on the sand ceremony book. I really enjoyed making it!

    Glad you were able to mange your weight situation to get the results you wanted. I am so happy for you. I know that was a big deal for you to achieve and I wanted you to be happy with the way you look in your dress. Everyone deserves that! Congrats!

    Wow that really sux. But thats good that  you are being positive and focusing on your big day. We definitely have missed you on the forum- you are usually on here every day like I am so I was worried about you. Other than that it sounds like you are doing pretty good. I can't believe you only have 21 days. That is ridiculous. I am so excited for you. BTW- the little sand ceremony book you made is super cute!

     

     

    Well I gained another 3 pounds so I am going to fit in my dress!!- a week with the in-laws is a sure recipe for weight gain!

     

    Printed out all my checklists and forms today for packing, photography,and emergency contact stuff. My planning binder is getting really thick.

    From the medco health store online. I got the 2 pack for under 1.50 (so, .75 a piece) Plue they were the ultra, with spf, and I thought that might be important for a destination wedding. I love them!!

    Atlanta photographer for Budoir Shoot?

    I am not taking a photographer from Atlanta. Many of the photographers that sent info to me from the DR were trained in the US but charge DR pesos so they are much cheaper for the same quality (if not better)

    Are any of you bringing a photographer from Atlanta to your destination wedding?  I'm still torn on what to do and have no leads.

    Hey ladies!!! I've been gone for a while but a lot has happened in my life! I was absent for the last couple of weeks because FI and I found out that he has a daughter and the lady never told him until now. So 3 weeks from what is supposed to be the happiest day of my life, I find out that I am also going to be a stepmother next month. The baby is young and I know it will be tough but so far we are just in shock and have been in and out of court a couple of times. It's a rough time for me but I am happy to still try and focus on my wedding and we'll see what the rest of my life holds.

     

    Inspite of that, I really missed you ladies and am looking forward to your happy stories and stress jokes to get me through this trying time.

     

    I have posted some of my progress on my wedding website if you all want to check it out.

    I did the same thing! Bought a lot of luggage tags that were so cute and made personalized inserts but now I have decided to just put them in the Welcome Bags because once I figured out the postage, I declined. LOL

    YIIIPPEEE!!! Our passports came Friday and I was starting to get nervous because we had to send our documents to the consulate withint 30 days out and we only have 21 days to go!! Can you say NERVOUS!!

    Uh I am SO stressed right now! I have so much to do and it seems like my to do list is getting bigger and not smaller. My current to do’s I am working on: finishing the music selections and then downloading the songs I need and making cd’s and playlists, finishing up my welcome booklets, order the table runners and napkins and iron them with the chair sashes, fix the custom cake topper I ordered that came to me broken and not painted right or finished right and wrong, get FI to pick up his suit and get his shoes and vest, and talk to WC to try and finalize some of the planning. OH and lose weight so my dress will not onlyfinally be able to close, but close without squeezing my back fat together.

     

    I am trying by best to not stress out, but it's hard!

     

    I am so sorry to hear about that Wendy!!! Praying for you and your FI!!

    On a good note, went to Mom's and did a hair trial and love it (she's doing it for the wedding), just recieved the "final details" sheet from the WC.  We leave one month from tomorrow!!




    WOW!! That a lot!! But a blessing!

    You're right, it seems to have disappeared! Maybe once the forum changed it ate it (now it's in the land of lost socks, along with every good pair of tweezers any women has owned).

     

    I've attached the original template I used from ktchi.

    A bride on her called cross also recently used the same template and edited it to her style really nicely too if you wanna check it out!


    I've mentioned before but I definitely recommend making the cover/back sheet a bit larger than the rest so it's easier to wrap around all the pages.  Happy planning!!
