 Hey, I'm Julie.  I've actually been lurking on and off for some time now but never posted before.  I already see a few names I know from some other forums so you may already know me.  My FI and I are getting married at sea somewhere in the western carribean aboard Princess Cruise Line's Crown Princess on April 15, 2012. 

 

For awhile it seemed like I was getting enough information from just reading the posts of others and not getting involved but recently there's been a lot of drama surrounding our wedding and it will be good to have a new sounding board for ideas.  My mother lives 1000 miles away I was recently told that there will not be a wedding party (no, I did not decide this.  The girl who was supposed to be my MOH did) so I'm feeling like I'm doing it all pretty much by myself with the occasional "I like that one" from the fiance when I hold up 2 invitations or a few favors for him to choose from.  (He's so easy going I could plan whatever I wanted and he would be happy.)  I'm not looking forward to going makeup shopping and to dress fittings and whatever other girly stuff will come up between now and then on my own but maybe having a bunch of ladies who are in similar positions to talk to will make it feel less lonely.

 

wow...  That was a downer, huh?  lol.

 

Anyway, "Hi!"  bunny_4.gif (sorry, couldn't resist the dancing bunny...)

Hey JulieRose, I'm on CC with you also. Sorry you're feeling like this. I know it's hard. My bridesmaids are 800 miles away and won't be involved with anything either. But maybe that might make it a bit easier? Less opinions to hear? :-)

 

Check out this thread for the April 2012 brides: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/76331/april-2012-bride Maybe it'll give you some girls to chat with about ideas...

Hi Julie,

 

That sounds awful!! No one wants to feel alone in their planning- especially with a destination wedding I think. Have you thought of hiring a planner to help you? Sounds like it may be of benefit to you? We're using Luxe and I have found them very helpful- and I have 3 bridesmaids!! Maybe I agree with moments... sometimes it is best that the decisions made are yours and that friends aren't stressing you out :) Up until this weekend- I was super stressed!!!

Thanks everybody. It's been about 2 weeks since this post and I'm pretty well over it. My fh really stepped up and started getting more involved. He's agreed to help with invite assembly and even making those dreaded calls to people who can't be bothered to RSVP. He went from very "yes dear" to actually voicing his opinions which is good. (He even made the final decision on the invite and it's perfect!) As for the MOH- she's respected my wishes and not tried to contact me. I still don't think she understands that it wasn't the backing out that bothered me as much as it was the tactless way she did it. A mutual friend tried to explain it to her but who knows if it got through. Either way, I'm done with her and it's been less stress ever since.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
