@ Kerry: Aaaah that first dress you posted is very similar to some of the dresses I have been eyeing up. After posting on here I decided to trawl through the internet, looking at different styles etc and a style very similar to that first one is what I fancied. Of course, I'm sure it will be different when I try things on. @ Herbie: I got mixed up on whose little destination tote bags were in the photo a few pages and were told they were yours! I love them. Where did you get them done, if you dont mind me asking? @ Everyone, Is it wrong that going to a bridal dress shop fills me with absolute dread? I would love to just peruse and try stuff on on my own (well, with some help in and out of stuff) but I think I just hate the quietness of it all. Did any of you girls feel like that, or am I just being weird? haha. xx

Hi everyone! Well I have been without internet for a while.... which makes planning things difficult. Haha, who am I kidding?!... I haven’t been too good on the planning stage. I figured I’d set myself some little goals... not getting married until June 2012 anyway.... So I thought, the dress.... what kind of thing do I want?... what will suit for a Cuban beach?.... I have NO idea!! Anyhoo, I feel totally out the loop now, and a wee bit like MarleyDog, I do sometimes feel like I would be cutting in on a conversation when everyone knows each other so well.... but I think I’ve briefly caught up... a bit... @Nicyx, so so sorry to hear about Stephen’s Gran! Such sad news. I lost my gran at the end of last year, and so trying to plan everything without her is just really hard! Can’t believe your wedding is next Friday!! Soooo exciting! Hope everything goes well for you! J I’m going to make a cuppa and sit down and read your planning thread hehe. @Waybuloo, WELL DONE on losing all that weight! What an inspiration. I have to knuckle down. I’m sitting at 13 and a half stone... biggest I have ever been, although with my height I’m a size 12/14... but a wee size 10 would do me nicely!!! Hehe. @Michelle2011, your nails look lovely! Goodness I hadn’t even thought about nails... I think I need to make a list!!! So sorry you lost lots of your wedding stuff though, that’s just horrible! L @Gom4good, I have been exercising lots too and my weight isn’t changing. I like to tell myself that it is because I’m building muscle... as opposed to the fact Ive still been eating takeaways! L Humph! I need more will power. @Char79uk, so sorry to hear about the sad news for your brother, his girlfriend and all the families concerned! I’ve never heard of that before! L @Lyndsey, eeeee you head to Mexico so soon. Very exciting!!! @Sam, those dresses are lovely, and topaz blue will be stunning! Looking forward to pics. @MarleyDog, I LOVE the dresses and the wee bags. Where did you get the bags made up? (Apologies if you have mentioned it elsewhere.. I’ve been frantically trying to catch up haha) I’m with a couple of you on the issues over bridesmaids etc. As we decided to have quite a small wedding, with a very small wedding party, I have my best friend as my bridesmaid and FH has his best mate as his best man. Because I didn’t ask FSIL to be a bridesmaid, nor ask for her 2 yr old son to be a page boy, they have went in a huff! Makes things a bit awkward.... @Michelle, I can definitely sympathise with the MIL. Phew... I think I might have finally caught up haha. xxx

Thanks so much for the welcome guys! Read through some of these 264 pages last night... wow there is so much to get through!! I'm sure I'll be on here a lot, so will get to know most of you quite quickly! We're still in the very very early stages of planning but still really excited! Eeeeee! haha. xxxxx

Hi everyone! I got engaged a couple of weeks back and my FI and I are planning to get married at the Sol Rio de Luna y Mares in Guardalavaca, Cuba, in June 2012. We've been to this resort last year and really loved it. We'll be having a small wedding with about 16 people all in. Oh and we are from Scotland! The main thing I'm worried about at the moment is a photographer. I know the resort photographers aren't that great so not too sure what to do!!! Now that I have said hello and introduced myself, I shall go back through this thread and have a read up and hopefully get to know everyone!! xxx
