  1. I like the idea of the wedges - height and security, what more could you ask for
  2. I think if the resort offers the room the night before, take it! That way you can catch up on your beauty sleep the night before the big day
  3. I just talked to a bride that got back frok her DW, and her bigegst advise was do not overplan. She said to keep it simple - maybe 2 or 3 total activities tops including the wedding
  4. thanks for the ideas on what to include - i think it's worth doing to let people know how much you appreciate the time and money they spent coming to see you get married
  5. Thanks for sharing the website of where to find the fans
  6. Maybe hold a stag and doe party ahead of time to help pay for your costs - that way you won't feel the pinch as much if your MIL doesn't help out
  7. Do you have a godfather that could walk you down? That would be another option
  8. ya, just feign innocence and say you are "following up on the registry"
  9. Just my opinion, but I think people would expect a reception if they are travelling that far to see you get married...
  10. 1) always pictured a beach wedding 2) keeps it as an intimate affair, and totally fun 3) thought it would be a lot cheaper - key word is "thought"
  11. I struggled with this one too, but I think that if you are not going to do an AHR, it might be the best way to include/celebrate with people who aren't able to make the DW
  12. I'm thinking about picking two MOHs, that way they basically act as back-up for eachother and I don't have as much reliance on one person, hence am not as disappointed when they aren't able/wiling to help
  13. we're only doing them becauswe we got them for free when my finace bought my enagagement ring - otherwise I don't really see the point, especially if you are having a photographer and videographer at your wedding
  14. I'm doing the empty chair in honour of my mother. I think it's the most subtle way to honour her without bringing everyone down.
  15. I'm torn over this also, but know that in the end we will have to tell close family we are doing the wedding here because some of the people are really old and won't be able to travel, so it's the only part of the marriage they will be able to partake in
  16. After sending out STDs and telling people their deposits had to be in within a couple of months of getting gthe STDs, it didn't seem like there was a point to sending out formal invites
  17. We are booking at a family-friendly resort, but it is directly adjacent to an Adults-only, so this way if people are not comfortable being around kids, they really don't have to be. Also, there is a kids club at the family hotel, so parents can leave their kids there and come hang out with the other adults for a litte while
  18. I like the unplugged idea for the ceremony - not so much b/c I'm concerned about people posting on FB, but moreso from the perspective that if people are playing with phones and cameras, they are distracted...and what was the point of traveling all that distanfce for our wedding if they are only going to be distracted during the ceremony?
  19. ya, i would say wear them, especially since I know a lot of people get married on home soil first anyway, so they're already married by the time they do the ceremony
