I love that headband- what seller?

Thanks, I've found out that you can't do a legal ceremony with him you would also need the judge. So we have decided to have a symbolic ceremony and legalize it when we get home. Thanks for his contact though we definitely want to use Pastor Rick for our symbolic ceremony.

congratulations! You will absoloutely love this forum!

those look fantastic!

Everything looks so great. Have a wonderful time at your wedding. Can't wait to see pics when you get back!

Thanks for the templates! They will definitely come in handy.

Does Pastor Rick do legal ceremonies as well or only symoblic?

I really want to do a legal ceremony down there but I would prefer it to be in English and I have heard amazing things about Pastor Rick as well.

We used Pastor Rick York (on other BDW bride's recommendations) He was FANTASTIC!! He does a full english ceremony and his fee is mimmal.

if you search him on BDW you will find nothing but amazing reviews! No one was any the wiser that it wasn't a legal ceremony (as he had us sign a marriage certificate during the ceremony) and it left the huge cost and worry about the legal paperwork at home.  If anyone is interested in his contact pls let me know!

the TA's from this site are really great. I'm working with Becky and she responds to my emails always within a couple of hours. Anything she doesn't know about the resort she emails them for me and cc's me on all emails so I have a record of all communication. I would definitely recommend them.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know!

SOOO cute! I have a pug too and just love her. I think everyone will love the idea

makeup forever's stuff is great! You won't regret it.

I just went to sephora the other day and the lady showed me a product by hour glass its a waterproof face primer. I bought it and it works amazing! It totally helps keep your foundation and everything on in water (i tried it by dipping my face in water). Also you can use it under your eyeshadow to make your eyeshadow waterproof. Its expensive like $60 for the bottle but I think its worth it. The lady also said it will help keep your makeup on when you're sweating which will probably be really good for the wedding day. Just wanted to share this product!

great pic can't wait to see more!

they look great!

congrats! It took a couple hours for me before my downloads would work.

your boquets look great! Great job.

Dreams has good group deals. When you book 5 rooms you get the 6th free, up to max of 3 rooms. That really adds up to a lot of savings when you have a group fo 35-40 like mine.

cute idea!

I have definitely seen this at showers before. I have to admit its not my favorite idea but I have seen it done before.

Thanks Jacqui for letting us know this! I have been having problems finding a dress I want to try. I am definitely going to ask about this program!

The store had me pay $50 upfront loaner cost and then credited it towards the cost of my dress when I ordered it!
