Hey, for those of you who got married during late November/early December, was there a lot of time after the ceremony for photos before the darkness crept in? I know sunset is quite early at that time of year...like around 530. Im just worried if the arrival at the beach isnt until 545, and ceremony doesnt start until 615, how much sun will be left during the ceremony and photos. Thanks!

We got married Dec 3rd.  Ceremony started at 6pm and we had about 20 mins of light for photos and still some will be dark.  We had a trash the dress the following day so were not too worried about this as we had bride and BMs and Grooms and GM pictures in the light before the wedding.  Hope that helps.

Ladies who had more than 50 guests at their wedding.. do you know if the table next to the buffet is really far away from the other tables?  The seating arrangement Kelly sent me looks like it is. I don't want those guests to feel left out!

20 days.... should I contact Kathie or does she contact me???

Hello ladies,

We leave for PV in 28 days and I am feeling like I should have more to do... I am pretty organized and have done a lot of things in advance. Does anyone have a list of TO DO items for the last month leading up to the wedding? Or things that I might miss?

Thanks again.

@Mich Craw - How sweet are you? Thank you so much! I am really happy with the dress and how it all fits. It's a lovely dress and I feel lovely in it!

1. The design I had for my program was not working out so I headed to Michael's tonight for plan B. Unfortunately when I got home and opened the new punch I need to use, it punches backwards from the picture! Now I have to come up with plan C....

 

2. My fiance tried on his suit and the tailor hemmed the pants like an inch too short!!!!

 

3. My Mother just called and said that my Aunt had left a message for her saying she had been called to jury duty. We THINK this means that she will not be able to look after our dogs while we are away as planned!!!!

 

4. My car which broke down last weekend and had to be towed into the mechanics STILL isn't ready to be picked up in the morning

 

5. My disc drive with my engagement photo DVD in it doesn't want to play and/or eject the disc!

 

Oh...did I mention that we leave in a week!!!! I'm not really sure whether to laugh or cry right now! I'm going to go with laugh because I'm finding it quite comical all this happened in such a short period of time.

 

Sry...just needed to vent. Deep breathes....deep breathes....

Just picked my dress yesterday! It was perfect timing when they called to tell me if was there since I had JUST finished my hair trail at the salon.

It fits perfect and all I need is a bustle.

Do you mind if I ask what the cost was?

I wanted to come by and share with you a gift from my brother! My Bouquet and my FI's bout! I was so excited when I got the email of the final product! It turned out way more awesome then I could ever imagine.

 

The Bouquet and Bout are both made out of Clay...That's right ladies...I said Clay. Preserving my bouquet is one of the things at the top of my wedding planning to do list. I just can't imagine paying a lot of money for a bouquet and not being able to keep it past a couple of days so this is a great alternative. Here are a few pics of my bouquet and the link to the DK Designs. The owner, Diane made everything by hand

ENJOY every minute! Have an amazing time!!   Can't wait to hear all about it!

Oh and we will have custom T-Shirts and Tanks for them as well

I have 5 girls.  They all bought their own dresses they were $50 on sale at Jacob.

I bought them each an Itsa Bag http://www.theitsa.com/classic-luxury-itsa.asp

And I also bought them all custom made clay necklaces.

They will also get a special OOT Bag. So on top of the Playing cards and word find/crossword, First Aid kit, meds (advil, pepto, imodium, tums), Kleenex, wet wipes, shout wipes, tide packs and hand sanitizer. (everyone else will be getting)

My ladies get get Dry shampoo, SPF 30, Charmed Life B&BW Lotion and Pocket-Bac, sewing kit from Michaels, Nail File & nail polish remover pad and travel candle.

Boys get a little more of a "guys" themed OOT bag that I am still putting together.

The guys are also getting Multi Tool collar stays.  I love them they are soo awesome....

Did you use the "Share Site" option that gives you a customized "webpage" or just the standard Shutterfly site?

no, looked high and low... best thing i found was 10ct Advil/Tylenol @ Costco & Real Canadian Superstore.

Where did you get your Earrings? They are beautiful!!!

We share the same colours!

What program do you have on your computer to create the template? Do you have Photoshop?

I wouldn't mind helping you out a bit if you need. Here is my boarding pass:

How many activity/crossword books, luggage tags and passport holders do you have?

luvmoo....

You might want to try Laura (they have a petite and plus and Additionelle is also a part of them as well so they often have the same colour dye lots.

I will keep my eyes open for something that might work.

Hi Ladies,

If you have kids in attendance at your wedding Michaels has some great kids items for OOTs.

I bought set of two sand molds, mini beach ball, Toy Story/Car Maracas, activity books, toys, frisbees, and some other games for 45 cents.

I bought enough to fill 4 kids bags for about $20.
