Imgettingmarried

We haven't really used them yet either..... Like you we've used them for the government fees but that's about it really. Everything seemed to be you can only put a certain amount towards something that would then cost extra on top of that. I was thinking maybe put it towards a beach cabana or something for the afternoon of the wedding (I don't know what else we're going to do after the ceremony otherwise) and I'd like to stay in my dress so don't want to lay on the sand like we'd normally do.

It's just the two of us going out, no guests.... (Much to my parents disgust) but that's the way we wanted. We want to be married but neither of us want the wedding. It seems mad to me spending so much money on a big wedding just to keep every one else happy. I'd rather spend the money on having an awesome time with my best friend. He keeps reminding me that if I start stressing or worrying about things, to just chill and relax. He seems to think it doesn't matter if things arnt perfect, as long as we have each other, a excellent holiday and come away with a marriage certificate we'll be winning..... He has a point!!! Gosh, it'll be a right shock to the system coming from snow... I bet you've had enough of it now! Just imagin that feeling as you step of that plane. The weather is just starting to chear up again over here in Britain, still wet as always, but it's getting there..... I can't wait for the beach and the sea!

When do you fly out and when do you get married? Have you long on resort before the wedding? We get home on the 3rd of May. I'll try and remember to post as soon as I get home!! Where abouts are you from, I'm in the uk I'm having my hair and make up rehearsal 2 days before, as we wanted to go on the boat trip the day before (they only run hue trips on a Wednesday and we wanted it in the first week). I presume that means they'll do my mani/pedi then...... I'll probably ruin it before the big day, but I'm not too fussed about my nails. I hadn't realised they used MAC make up. How did you know this? I'm so nervous about the makeup.... I'm taking my bare minerals makeup with me just invade I need to redo. I too am absolutely rubbish at doing my hair, I just never have a clue what to do with it, I can never get it to look right with curlers!!

5 weeks and counting!!! I'm not sure what I'm doing bout my dress yet, but in not too worried. I'm on resort nearly a week before wedding day, so I'm hoping if i hang it up straight away, any creases will drop out. The lady from my bridal shop is going to pack it in to my carry on case with the appropriate tissue paper and stuff. She's also shown me how to give it a quick steam with a travel iron (so i might go and get a cheap one from Argos or somewhere)! Do you mind me asking how much there charging to steam your dress? i asked about a private boat trip and sandals said it wasn't available in Antigua... Oh well. We've opted for the sandals exclusive circumnavigation boat trip the day before the wedding (we wanted to do it in the first week so we could go exploring ourselves in the second. have yo opted for them to do your hair and makeup or are you doing that yourself.ive paid to have them do it. Although in a little nervous about it, its hard to know what itll be like.

Hello Rachael I was starting to think there was no one else! I bet your getting excited now, it's not long to go now. How's all your planning getting on? We're also not bringing any guests, it's just the two of us going We go in April (next month) I can't believe how fast it's come around. Xx
