Hi all! I'm getting married at Jade on July 10th! I am SO behind on planning and trying not to stress! Is there anyone else who will be there around that time??

I haven't booked the travel yet (thanks for remembering me!) but I think there will be some great deals for a while since it's still early. I am SO excited!!

I sent in our deposit! I will be a Now Jade bride on July 10th, 2014!

Thank you! I *just* got an email from Pilar, so I got the reservation form.  I will keep Isela's email address as well - thank you!!

I've left 4 emails & still no response over the last month I would really like to get a deposit down for next July, but I can't get anyone to help me! Any email or phone numbers would be welcome at this point, please. Thank you!!

Thanks! I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but I think I had better!  

I've sent 2 Wedding Request forms & emailed [email protected] to simply get the process started so I can put down a deposit, and still no word back! (this has been over the last month, so I've tried to be patient) Can anyone please post or message me some alternative conact information for booking weddings? If their dates didn't fill up so fast I wouldn't be worried, but there is only one date in July left that works well for us! thanks!

Pinterest is like my best friend right now haha Thanks for the link! Yeah, a lot of what I love is out of my price range (of course!) but I think blush is getting more popular so they have it even at places like David's Bridal! I can't wait to try some on and really see how they look

Thats not to say that if I see a dress I like and it comes in Blush that I won't be trying that puppy on!!! Do you have your dress already? 

Not yet, but I'm going shopping for the first time next month! I don't totally have colors picked out yet (I'm SO fickle) but lately I've been drawn to black, white, and either blush or a light coral (Check out this lady's wedding decor on the tables - so beautiful & I am obsessed with anemones lately http://www.southboundbride.com/real-wedding-at-lourensford-hestelle-niel/)

I saw the MOST spectacular dress, and of course it is some crazy couture dress that is probably worth 3x what I'll be spending on my wedding. A girl has to dream though, right? You have to check out the link to see it on her, it's just stunning from all angles. (http://queenslandbrides.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/real-life-wedding-susan-ben.html)

@JMK923 Yours is so lovely! Very, very nice!

[@]Wedding2014[/@] not yet. I think my brother may though because he's doing a multi-stop trip

[@]Jennkn87[/@] I absolutely LOVE blush dresses too!!

It builds up. When I first joined I figured I would never get to 150 posts before my wedding. I started to comment on other people's posts and before I knew it- I was there. It happens without you realizing because at first, you're just posting to get to 150 but then you genuinely get wrapped up in conversations with other brides. I'm just wedding curious period, so I went into other threads for resort properties I knew I wasn't getting married at just to see how other people planned their weddings. Shoot- I still check and I'm already married lol. I don't post as frequently now, but whenever I am bored I hop on the site and chat. Happy planning newbies!

I haven't heard back yet but I sent another email today. Hopefully "I want to put down a deposit" perks someones ears up!

It'll probably take me until my wedding day to get to 150 

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but I got this on Etsy & am keeping track of some of the many wonderful things he does that make me love him.

Thank you!

Wow! Thank you for all of the info! That's great to know. I've been looking on orbitz and bookit.com - we want to keep it below $1100 per person (based on at least 3 nights stay) for airfare + hotel. I think my brother may need to contact a travel agent because they're traveling with 2 kids and going from Utah to Mexico to California (Disneyland after the wedding!) then back to Utah. How many were in your group? We only have 30 on the invite list (mostly couples) and I doubt there will be more than 10 rooms booked so I didn't think we could get a deal for a group.

Thanks for the site!

So many pretty ones! I love those bright ones, I wouldn't have thought of that. I better decide on some wedding colors soon!

So many beautiful rings out there!

Here's my obligatory Facebook I got engaged photo

And a close-up

It is my dream ring!

I've been using Fitness Blender on Youtube - they have great workouts (and a ton of them). We have a "smart tv" so I can play them right on the screen and they're all free. The people who do the videos aren't annoying either like some workout videos I've tried. And they do commentary videos about fitness and diet. Oh, and they tell you the range of calories you're burning. It's awesome. Big fan.

Any paleo brides out there? I'm sure there's a forum for it that I should go look for now...

Thanks for all the great ideas! I started one on theknot and think it's boring, so it's nice to see some more creative ones out there!

How do I only have 8 posts?! I feel like I'm on this website every day! haha I guess I do too much reading & not enough writing!

Anyway, HI! I'm Megan
