  1. I just saw this now. Hope I didn't miss out =( Hopefully we can meet up sometime this summer. I can't believe it's been almost a year since we all met in person for the first time.
  2. @@acw271011 I missed this place so much and just saw that you mentioned me. How are you? I'd also love for all of us to do something. I can't believe it's been almost a year since most of us first met.
  3. So happy to see you ladies tonight! @@Meandhim I'll have a margarita for both of us @@calgarybride2015 As far as I know I'm free both days. I would love to meet you in person!
  4. Hey Ladies! It's been a while, but I'm back. Sorry I couldn't make it to the last meeting, but I'm definitely making it to this one. April 8th works for me! I love Mexican food, so that sounds like a plan to me. My co wokers said good things about El Catrin. @@deecol thanks for keeping me in the loop hun!
  5. @@snswedding2016 Sounds like a plan to me =) See you ladies later! @@acw271011 I really hope you can make it, but I understand if you can't. I'm so sorry I've been MIA since my wedding. I was really hoping to hear all about your vow renewal. I hope you feel better =)
  6. Hey Ladies! So sorry I took so long to respond I'm definitely in. Just need to know where and when! I need to know what's going on with you all! Is this still where we're planning to meet? I can get there at around the same time that you'll be there so you won't be alone =)
  7. It's been quite a while since I've been on the forum. Life's been super busy and I think I'm really starting to feel the wedding blues. It's been a whole month since I got married and time honestly just flies! Past brides, what advice do you have for beating the wedding blues? I totally forgot to tell you all about my legal ceremony. The weekend after we got back we had a small, intimate wedding ceremony with just immediate family at a restaurant. It hit me about 4 months into my wedding planning that I needed to find a way to ensure that our marriage is legal in the province of Ontario. We decided that we didn't want to do a legal ceremony in Cuba because of all the work that we would have to go through to provide documentation. Also, we didn't feel comfortable travelling with important documents such as our birth certificates. Furthermore, we heard that it takes a year to get your marriage certificate from Cuba and then you need to have it translated. That's when we decided that we would have a symbolic ceremony in Cuba and a legal ceremony here. I know that a majority of brides do their legal ceremony before they leave, but that was something we felt wouldn't work for us. It was mostly because of my MIL. She was against our destination wedding from the start and basically said that if we had a legal wedding here before we left she wouldn't come to our destination wedding because there would be no point. This was quite hurtful to us since we see our destination wedding as our real wedding. We thought about having a city hall ceremony and not telling anyone about it, but Dan didn't like that idea. Our only option was to have the legal ceremony after and plan it in a way where it didn't feel like a wedding. I learned that City Hall won't do weddings if you previously exchanged vows i.e. they won't do your legal wedding if you've already had a symbolic one. We hired our own officiant through an agency and he was okay with the concept and still agreed to perform our ceremony. We planned our legal ceremony to be the same day as our anniversary (October 4). I initially wanted to do the ceremony then lunch seeing as the date was a Sunday and I had sent my invitations out and everything. A few weeks before our legal ceremony my MIL made us change the time to 6 p.m. and was very insistent upon it. I changed it just to make her happy and let our families know about the time change. We had our ceremony at Topiary's restaurant in Mississauga. We had a private room that was really nice. Our officiant was amazing, he had the perfect mix of humour and sentiment throughout our ceremony. It was actually quite traditional which was nice. We did a celtic handfasting which was really special. I decided not to wear white for my legal ceremony and re-wore the dress I wore for my bridal shower - a pale pink dress with nude flats. The food was really good. Most of us had steak and we shared appitizers. We didn't bring a wedding cake, we opted to order dessert off of the menu instead. All in all it was amazing. I feel with the way I planned my wedding there are no regrets, everything was amazing and everyone had a wonderful time. I got to have an amazing non-traditional beach ceremony in Cuba and traditional at-home ceremony as well. Sorry I haven't been on in a while, I have a major case of wedding blues, and I chose to step away from the forum to sort out my feelings. I'm still a little blue, I wish that I could turn back time and re-live it all over again.
  8. I got married last month at Iberostar Varadero. I'm probably not the best person to help you out because I handed out my favours prior to leaving. I don't think it should be a problem though. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Happy planning hun!
  9. Hey Everyone! I can't believe that I got married almost two weeks ago! It's insane how fast time flies! I already miss my wedding week and I wish I could turn back time so badly! We had such an amazing time with all of our family and friends. It truly was a once in a life-time experience as we were able to mix groups of friends and family that would have otherwise never gotten a chance to know each other and we got to spend time with everyone! I have absolutely no regrets about having a destination wedding! I believe I mentioned it in my first post, but it was actually my fiancee (now husband!) who persuaded me to have a destination wedding. Until I started planning my wedding I always thought that I would have a traditional wedding at home like all my friends and family. Choosing a destination wedding was the best decision I made! Below is my review: Iberostar Varadero Wedding Review: We got married at Iberostar Varadero on September 24, 2015. We were there from September 19-26. We booked our wedding with Yogesh Anand of Marlin Travel in Oakville and we flew with Air Transat. Our TA Yogesh was amazing and great at handling my questions, requests, and concerns. He got us a great rate and went out of his way for us. Flying with Air Transat was great too! They were really good to us and our wedding group. We were all seated together which was great. The pilot made an announcement about our wedding and my husband and I got complimentary bottles of sparkling wine. The only downside was that they don’t have a special closet, like Sunwing, to store your wedding dress and they only offer you a whole overhead compartment if it is available. I had to cram my dress in the overhead compartment. The resort was amazing, despite having a few weak points. Check-in went really smoothly we didn’t have to wait long to get our rooms and they had three people doing the check-in so it went fast. We were told that there would be bellboys to assist with our luggage, but there weren’t any so we had to take our luggage to our rooms ourselves. Our guests were in blocks 11 and 12 and we were in block 17 because we were upgraded free of charge to a suite! In our suite we received a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine which was really nice. Our room was really nice, but the button on our toilet was a little broken, the toilet still worked though, this was the only drawback to our room. It was also nice that we were able to access the wifi from our room, everyone else said that they had to use the wifi in the lobby. Wifi is available; however, it is 2CUC per hour. The only complaint for rooms that we had was from my MIL who wanted to be in a room on the second floor, she was given a new room the next day. The food at the resort was the best food I’ve had in Cuba (This was our third trip to Cuba). My family couldn’t eat the meat (they only eat halal meat), but were able to eat fish and we also had vegetarians with us and everyone was able to find something to eat. My only complaint was the food handling, this is a 5 star resort and part of the Iberostar chain so I expected more. I’ve seen better food handling procedures at lower star resorts. There was lots of cross-contamination (i.e. one spoon for meat and veggie dishes). We booked a reservation at the Japanese a la carte and there were cockroaches on the cooking surface and the table that we were at. This was unacceptable to us so we got up, left, and went to the main buffet instead which didn’t have any bugs or other critters. I hope that they work on their food handling procedures in the near future. The beach was simply the best I’ve ever seen. There was no seaweed, the water was bright blue and clear so that you could see all the way to the bottom. The water was warm and the ocean was calm the whole time we were there. The pool was amazing as well and it was HUGE! The swim-up bar had the best drinks! Especially the Banana Daiquiri and Papa Hemingway. They also had amazing virgin drinks too for my family members and guests who don’t drink alcohol. There were plenty of palapas and chairs near the beach and pool so there was never any competition. Since we travelled during hurricane season it was very hot and humid during the day, but nice and sunny and then it rained for about an hour after 4p.m. which is when we all headed back to our rooms to get ready for dinner, nap, ect. anyways. The staff really does go out of their way to make your stay special. When they found out that we were getting married I found that they were super nice to us and our group. The staff never begged or asked for tips (something we had seen at other resorts) but went above and beyond for everyone. Since they knew we were a big group they often set aside enough chairs and tables for our whole group so we could eat dinner together in the main buffet. I will definitely go back to the Iberostar Varadero for vacation. The Wedding: We arrived on Saturday and during check-in we were given a piece of paper with a time and place to meet the wedding co-ordinator. We met with our coordinator on the Monday morning to go over details such as the flowers, cake, decor, venue options, timings, photography, videography, appointments, and pricing. Belkis, the wedding coordinator was amazing! She is so good at what she does! You are in good hands with her. She told us what to do, where to go, and how the wedding will work. We didn’t even need a rehearsal. Our ceremony was set for 3 p.m., dinner at 6:30p.m. at La Parilla restaurant, and reception at 8:30p.m. at the beach bar. On the wedding day I was extremely calm until I realized that I was running a little behind schedule. My hair appointment was booked for 11a.m. and the woman that did my hair did an amazing job. I knew that I wanted an updo because of the heat and humidity. I brought my own hairspray (Redken Control Addict) and bobby pins. My hair was amazing and stayed all day. My hair took almost 2 hours to do. I raced back to my room to have my bridesmaid (a freelance makeup artist) do my makeup which she had offered to do as a wedding gift. Just as I got my makeup done the photographer, Ibrianny, arrived to take some photos of us getting ready. I had to quickly slip on my dress and jewelry for him to get some shots. Next thing I knew it was time to leave for the ceremony. Belkis picked us up in a golf cart and we headed down to the beach gazebo. The ceremony was beautiful. I chose a live Cuban trio to play music for the ceremony and my walk down the aisle which was absolutely beautiful. We had a symbolic ceremony which was about 10-15 minutes long. We signed a piece to paper to make it look real to everyone, exchanged vows, and exchanged rings. We had a champagne toast with all of our guests after the ceremony and were greeted by friends and family so that they could congratulate us. After the ceremony we did a group photo with everyone, family photos, photos with the wedding party, and then pictures of the two of us. Ibrianny was absolutely incredible! He knew the right lighting and angles to make us look good. He was also very friendly and a pleasure to work with. Our videographer was amazing as well. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and video. I wanted a choice of two main dishes for my entree because my family would only eat fish and other people didn’t eat fish. So we chose to have a salmon and a chicken entree. I had the salmon with mango chutney which was delicious. We had a buffet appetizer, lobster bisque for soup, and crepes with flambeed bananas for dessert which all tasted fabulous. There was some confusion after dinner with our reception. We originally wanted the beach bar which is outdoors, but because of rain we were relocated to the disco. The reception was supposed to start at 8:30p.m. but because there was a function happening we had to wait until 9p.m. We were all just confused as to what was happening. We didn’t have an MC so we ended up MCing the reception ourselves which was a little stressful, but we had fun with it. We did speeches while they were setting up the cake then we did the cake cutting, first dance, and then we danced the night away till 11p.m. when the disco opened to the public. When we left the reception we went back to our room which was beautifully decorated with rose petals, chocolate, and another complimentary bottle of sparkling wine! Even though there were a few hiccups in our day we still had an amazing time and I wouldn’t change anything. I definitely recommend getting married at the Iberostar Varadero it was a dream come true. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my planning thread and my review! I'm not done yet with updates! I'm so behind lol, but I'm hoping to upload some pictures of my legal ceremony and tell you all about it as well. I wanted to post some pictures of my wedding day in Cuba, but for some reason I can't =(
  10. Aww you're so sweet hun! We had an amazing time! It's so true it does go SO fast. I feel like my wedding day went by in the blink of an eye lol. I will definitely be posting all about it soon! My index finger on my right hand chipped a little by my wedding day, but it wasn't very noticeable. Awww thank you hun! You're so sweet! I got my nails done at Nice One Nails near the Walmart at Argentia. I got the idea from a picture I saw on social media. I thought it was really cute and different. I was really surprised that I was able to leave with my pictures and my photographer did an amazing job! It went so fast! I wish that I could go back and re live it all over again! Awww thanks hun! The shellac was really good and chipped a little bit by my wedding day. I plan on posting my review and spilling all the details of my trip. Hope your planning is going well. We had such an amazing time! More details to come =) I wish I could turn back time too. I ended up buying a steamer, but I didn't end up using it. It's actually still in the box lol. My wedding went way too fast! I wish I could live it all over again. Aww thank you hun! It was so amazing! Thanks hun! I can't believe you're about two months away! Aww thank you hun! Thanks so much hun! I can't believe you're about 3 months away! So exciting. Thank you hun! Also, congrats on your fitness journey you're doing so well! I just saw your ticker in your signature. Your day is coming so soon! Thank you so much! It really was a dream come true. Hun, your day is coming up so soon! I can't wait to hear all about it!

  12. Hey Ladies! Sorry I've been MIA! It's been crazy! I got sick when I got back and there's been a lot happening at work, I'm still in for tomorrow though! I can't wait to see you all again!
  13. I'm so sorry I haven't been replying or anything it's been super crazy! I just wanted to let you all know that I'm definitely still in! I can't wait to hear what you've all been up to!
  14. Hey Ladies! I'm so sorry I didn't get a chance to respond individually to each one of your comments as I normally do, but things have been pretty crazy! I'm really glad that I took a few days off before we left as we had so much to do. We leave tomorrow!!! I honestly cannot believe it! Like I know it's happening, but for some reason it's not clicking with me. It's been pretty busy since I've been off from work. In the last three days I've: packed everything, printed all relevant documents, gotten all of our money together, bought some last minute things, packed my carry-on, got our marriage license for our legal ceremony when we return, confirmed all of my details with my TA and the WC at the resort, and the list goes on lol. All of the stress, anxiety, planning, and joy has lead to this point and I feel really overwhelmed by emotion. A small part of me wishes that I had more time to enjoy it all, but a large part of me just wants to experience it. I can't wait to share details with you all when I get back! Oh I almost forgot. I got my nails done today. I ended up getting a shellac mani/pedi based on advice from some co-workers. The woman at the salon put like 4 coats of it on so I'm hoping that it won't chip or anything while I'm down there. I know that my wedding colour is red, but as the bride I really wanted to stand out so I picked my favourite colour (pale lavender) for my nails and an awesome design a friend showed me. I wanted something a little nontraditional. What do you think?
  15. Ladies! I'm leaving in less than 1 week, 6 days to be exact! I can't believe how fast time is flying! For some reason it's still not clicking with me, I'm unable to believe that this is really happening. Sorry I've been so sparse with the updates, but I've been super busy. Work has really picked up and some major changes are happening so it's been all hand on deck at work trying to figure everything out. It also doesn't help that a few other assistants have quit so the extra work has fallen on everyone else. I've seen a lot of brides work up until they leave and I honestly don't know how they do it. I'm so exhausted by the time I get home and do my regular daily chores I barely have time to do any planning. I'm leaving next Saturday and my last day at work is Tuesday, so I'm hoping that having 3 days off before we leave is enough time for me to get everything together. Also, every time I come back from vacation I get sick so I took an additional two days off to recover and spend some time with my soon to be hubby. I feel accomplished this week as I was able to: write my speeches, write my vows, finish my playlist and put it on my iPod, make a list of questions to ask the wedding coordinator, hand out the last of my favours, give out all of the bridesmaids/groomsman gifts, and pick up last minute items. I ended up buying a travel steamer to bring with me. Did any past brides find it helpful? I think I paid around $30 for it from Walmart. I was going through my planning thread earlier and realized that I totally forgot to put up my website. My fiance is in IT and having a website was really important to us, so we used WIX to create our website. It's really user friendly. I know almost nothing about computers and I found it really easy to use when I had to do updates and everything. It did cost us quite a bit for a 2 year subscription (I believe it was around $100). I don't think anyone really visited our website, so if I were to do it all over again I might skip the website and maybe create a page using social media or even send a newsletter to everyone. Thank you so much for your kind comments about my decor. I am planning on also having some flowers just to spice up my space a bit and really hammer in the point that a wedding will take place. I will definitely update before I leave. Anyways ladies I am off to start packing!
  16. @@acw271011 Your rings sound amazing! I love the picture you posted, it's similar to my band but a bit thinner. I can't wait to see the pictures when you get them back.
  17. Thank you so much hun! It did work out. I picked another officiant and he's amazing! Unfortunately, since I'm still on my probation at work I don't get paid for any sick days that I take =( I wish I could have taken one though. I totally understand what you go through, the summer has been pretty good with work, but it's really started picking up and I've been staying a little later. I'm usually home by 6 or 7p.m. at the latest and by the time I make dinner and everything I just usually want to go to bed. I'm feeling much better only a tickle in my chest and a dry cough I'm hoping that it clears up and it's not bronchitis which I usually get once a year in the winter. Hope your planning is coming along well =) Thanks hun! I was really frustrated and then on top of that my future MIL pressured me into changing the time for my legal ceremony too. It was originally scheduled at 1:00p.m. and she wants us to move it to 6:00p.m. because she's sure she won't get the time off to come. I know this seems like a small thing that I shouldn't care about, but I've put a lot into planning this wedding and hoped everything was running smoothly. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but she's been against us having a destination wedding from the start and has been coming up with things and making things up to prove to us that we made a huge mistake by having a destination wedding and that we should have had the wedding she wanted us to have. I sent my invitation for my legal ceremony out in April, which I thought was plenty of time. It all worked out in the end and I hope it stays that way lol Sorry for the mini MIL rant. Thank hun! I was able to find someone and everything, to my knowledge, is good =) I just hope it stays that way. I feel like I'm starting to lose my sanity lol. I can't believe that you've been married for almost a month!!! Thanks hun! Hope all is well with you. Everything is okay for now, so I just hope it stays that way lol. Ladies I leave in 2 weeks! It's still not hitting me yet! Like I know that it's happening and I've been doing a lot of work trying to wrap up the loose ends, but for some reason it just feels so weird that I don't believe I'm leaving in 2 weeks. I wanted to update much sooner, but work has been crazy since September started and some major changes are happening at work as well which have been stressing me out too. I totally forgot to show you guys some of the decor elements that I'm bringing down with me. Decor and More: We decided that we didn't want to bring very much decor with us since we are getting married in a very picturesque setting and I felt that too much decor might take away from the beauty. I've attached some pictures of the different spaces at the resort where different events will take place. Our ceremony is in the beach gazebo which is just off of the beach, our dinner is at La Parilla restaurant, and our reception is at the beach bar. I thought that a giant rose flower ball would look really nice hanging in the center of the gazebo for the ceremony. Also, I've seen other brides do this and I really loved how it looked. I was thinking of filling the shell with sand and sticking the rings in them so that you can see the top half of the rings. I think it would look pretty cool. I'm having a semi-private dinner in order to keep our costs down since the resort offers that option for free. From what I've seen we basically get a long rectangular table with chairs in a part of the restaurant so we are all together. I wanted to add to the table elements so that we stand out a little more and just to add a small touch. I bought the LOVE signs from Target before they closed down and the Mr. and Mrs. blocks I got from and Etsy vendor (I can't remember which one, sorry ladies!). I love Monogrammed cake toppers and I decided to get one with Dan's last name since I'll be taking his last name. I really love the style, but it's really small. Before I purchased it online I should have taken a ruler so that I could see the actual size. I thought that the cake topper would be larger, but it ended up being really small and cost a lot too. I love the idea of having a guestbook, but I'm not sure where to have it. Should it be at the ceremony, dinner, or reception? I bought most of my decor off of Amazon since I was a little lost on where to find decor. Shipping charges were so expensive for some items. I think if I could do it over I would have much rather shopped locally. I ended up going a little over budget with my decor.
  18. @@TinkerSofi Your pictures look perfect! I can't wait to see more! You looked really beautiful. Congrats again.
  19. I'm starting to feel really old. I had a two-day hangover from my night out on Saturday and now I'm sick! I wish I wasn't at work today I really want to rest and on top of it all I just found out that my officiant for my legal ceremony just cancelled on me! I'm not sure if I've mentioned it, but we're having a symbolic wedding in Cuba and a legal ceremony at a restaurant here on our anniversary when we come back. I know a few Cuban brides who have done that and they said that it was okay to be legally married after. Apparently my officiant got a new job and has to move out of province so she can no longer perform our ceremony. I booked her 5 months ago and have been in constant contact with her. I used an agency to find her and the agency has been really nice about it. I just have to go through their catalog of officiants, pick out the ones I like, and hope that they are available for my ceremony date. I booked the restaurant and sent out my invitations 5 months ago as well. Sorry to vent, but I feel so overwhelmed especially because I feel like I have a lot left to do and we leave in 3 and a half weeks!
  20. I'm sorry to hear about everything with your daughter in-law. Don't feel bad for unloading we're all here for you =) The Canadian Dollar situation really sucks! I hope it gets better soon because it makes things a lot harder for us brides that are going to be married soon. I'm starting to feel that I need to start cutting out some extras I had initially wanted just so I can stay on budget.
  21. I had way too much fun lol! I'll always cherish what I can remember of it haha. Awww, I'm sure there's still some things to do after the wedding right? I'm worried that the whole trip will just fly by too fast. I'm also hoping that me and Dan can get some alone time while we're down there. I'm starting to wish that I booked 10 days instead of just 7. Did you and Juan get any time to yourselves? I can't believe I'm now counting down the days. It's weird, but I already feel a little sad and I miss certain parts of planning. I'm not looking forward to the wedding blues. I saw your wedding video on UStream so I understand what you mean about my profile on the wedding day. I read your experience about the veil weights and decided not to do them. I'm going to take your advice with the clip and just clip it on the side the guests can't see. My fiance was the one that also sold me on a DW as he liked the price of a DW v.s a traditional wedding. I thought DW's were cool, but I didn't think it was for me at first, then when I actually saw one (I wasn't a guest at one I was a creep on vacation and decided to watch a couple get married on the beach) I thought it was something I could do if I for some reason couldn't have a traditional wedding. Since I've started planning our DW I've never looked back on that decision and I know that in the end it will be just perfect and I would never regret it.
  22. What an amazing deal!!! I love looking at TTD pictures! I think the dress would look good with and without the strap I can't wait to see what you decide to do with it. @@acw271011 Thanks for the mention girl! It was so awesome to run into you and get another opinion on my dress! I was telling @@acw271011 that I felt special because I got a sneak-peak at her shoes and hair accessories lol. Your shoes are to die for I absolutely love the colour and I can't wait to see what it all looks like together! Your day is coming up so soon! Love it! I think it will look great! You look stunning! I love the way your dress looks on you! I love the keyhole back and your veil is to die for! It looks like there's a bit of sparkle on it! For me when I have to break in a pair of shoes I just wear them around the house for a bit. I also shuffle the bottoms of my shoes on the driveway to add some resistance to them so I don't slip. I find new shoes can sometimes be slippery.
  23. OMG I LOVE your jewelry! I love that the broach is on one side instead of the middle. I also love the cake topper too! I love personal touches at a wedding. I think Calgarybride2015 mentioned that you might need to tape it or pin it down and suggested double-sided tape which is a good idea if you want to make sure it doesn't move. I bought double-sided fabric tape from Shoppers to tape my bra to my dress so you can't see it lol. When I went to Shoppers there were two different types the fabric to fabric one and another one that I can't remember. I paid $12 for mine (everything is unfortunately more expensive downtown).
  24. 30 Days till the wedding day and 26 days till we leave!
  25. Thanks hun! I'm so hesitant about ordering stuff at this stage because I'm afraid it might not arrive on time. I also read some reviews about veil weights and some brides said that their veil still blew around or that the magnetic ones slipped off. We are getting married just off the beach in a gazebo that is under some trees (bad description, sorry). I'll find a picture of the gazebo and post it. I just finished reading your planning thread and I loved your veil and bird cage. I think I'm just wearing the veil for the ceremony then taking it off. I saw @@TinkerSofi's wedding video too and I thought it was so cute when she tucked it under her arm, but her veil is a lot longer than mine, so I'm not sure I'd be able to tuck it under my arm. I heard some good and bad things about veil weights on websites and TinkerSofi's comment as well. Although a part of me doesn't mind it blowing around, I've seen some pretty neat pictures where the bride's veil blew around and made for a cool shot. You looked amazing on your wedding day and the way that you had your veil tucked under your arm was so cute. I would do the same thing too, but I think that my veil may be too short to do it =( I read some not so great reviews on veil weights and some of the ones I saw were super expensive too! Also, being less than an month away from leaving I'm afraid things won't get to me in time. I heard that sometimes they stick together and don't make the veil look good. I also heard that your veil will still blow around with them on. I'm okay with it blowing around for pictures. I feel that the photographer will be able to get some awesome shots. I can't wait to see your pictures! My wedding day is in one month!!! It's so unreal! I'm excited and freaking out at the same time. I feel like I've been waiting for this moment forever and here it is! We leave on September 19, 2015, which is in less than a month!!! My Bachelorette party was on Saturday and I had way too much fun! I was completely surprised. I had no idea it was happening lol. My bridesmaids just showed up at my apartment, handed me drinks, and told me to get dressed to go out. We drank all my favourite cocktails while getting ready (bahama mamas, cosmos, and wine). It is really hard to put on makeup while tipsy haha. We ended up in downtown Toronto and went to this fabulous, cozy restaurant near Ossington and Dundas. I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but the food was amazing! The restaurant served Pan-Asian cuisine. After dinner we went to a club across the street called Ballet. It was really small and intimate which was nice =) While I was there I saw that there were two other brides celebrating their bachelorette parties too so I got to party with them which was fun. There were a few points where myself and the other brides got up on the stage to dance (normal me wouldn't do this, it was definitely the alcohol that motivated me). Most of my friends left early, but one of my bridesmaids stayed with me and we partied with the other brides and their bridal parties. I don't have any pictures as my wallet and phone were taken from me by my bridesmaids prior to going out. I will post pictures once I get them =p I had WAY too much fun and drank WAY more than I should have. I was super hungover yesterday and I am today as well. I didn't know that a two-day hangover was possible, but I found out through google that it is lol.
